“God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”  ~Genesis 1:27

God revealed to me recently that His image is like a cell.  The ‘nucleus’ of the cell is where the brightest light and purest essence resides, made up of perfect loving energy inherent with all the qualities we attribute to God.

As we die to our earthly bodies and return to Him, our life force ends up somewhere in this cellular body, and where we land has something to do with being called by Him, and the intent of our actions while here.  The sons and daughters of God might end up in the nucleus whilst common man might end up on the darker and farther reaches, more distant from his throbbing warmth; and everyone else falls somewhere in between.

It occurred to me after this revelation that our entire bodies are made up of cells!  So in this way we ARE made in God’s image.  It isn’t that God has a head and feet and hair, it’s that the building blocks of life remain the same between God and us, and all living things.  And that is the simple cell.  The unit of life.  All life contains carbon as well, and we know that carbon molecules, along with iron and other fundamental metals that exist here on earth also exist in space; and are probably a part of God’s image (makeup) too, a gift from Him to us.  Another interesting thought is that the DNA or RNA that exists within our cells and makes us us, might also come directly from God.  And it might indeed be encoded with memory, or controlled by God in real-time in some way.  Kind of like an invisible lifeline from our Creator to us.

Kind of ominous, isn’t it, to think of God being invisibly in control of our very bodies and minds, of our cells.

In this context, solar systems would be living things as well, because they exhibit cellular qualities, with a central ‘nucleus’ sun, and bodies that are contained near that sun, and are a system (solar) unto themselves.  This is because God, at any time, has chosen where and when to create life, as He deems, and at His will.

What is nearly impossible for us as humans to grasp is that God’s image and His essence are one and the same.  We are used to separating the physical and the spiritual, but in God’s Realm, there is complete and perfect uniformity and intent.

Why did he create us?  Ahh….that is the subject for another post….;)
