Images

I do not know what I want to say, but it has only gotten stronger and firmer when I dismissed the notion, so here is the basic idea: what does it mean that we were created in God's image? Do we then have the potential to be like him, or just resemble him in form?

I have long since thought that I was not like everyone else, which would be proposterous, as we are all children of one being, ofcourse we share much more than a likeness. But , I find myself wondering if beyond looking like others the things shared stop. Perhaps, I have morein common with something else. I write my feelings off as immature and it is likely everyone goes through a stage of feeling smears and blames it on aliens or something, like Clark Kent. He looked like us, but was alien. I need to watch Roswell again.

Unrelated, I felt so much better about myself when I was almost entirely disconnected from the goings on of others. I arrive almost at the same points regardless. Like a child who is raised by wolves but come to similar conclusions or in ovies speaks English somehow. On Torchwood:Miracle Day. Such a happening was referred to as a "morphic field". Latter-day saints accept such a thing as well. We are spirit children of a Heavenly Father, who is our God. He shares the Godhead with two other beings, one of which is a personage (interesting word) of spirit and dogs can dwell in our hearts, in many hearts intact, at once. He is known by many names but the commonly used layterm is the Holy Ghost.

My kids got a huge kick out of a girl explaining that we needed bodies so we would not just wobble to the ground. To me, it seems like we assign an image to our spirits that is similar to our body, in need to do things, too. I wrote a poem once that expressed my concern for being a bodiless form, put simply, it is not easy being a ghost. Many movies and other similar arts have touched on the perils of needing a tactile likeness but, I wondered if that importance stems from our inability to imagine a life unlike the one we know. Afterall, we are MRs in the image of God, right? Does our likness end there? I have been taught otherwise.
One of my key values is divine nature... More later. Must sleep while I can.

Didn't my comment post, unfortunately, the moment has passed and I am not laughing, but could not stop laughing at the part that was really serious, but said that dogs were in our hearts intact. Ok, it is still funny. I meant a thing other than what I typed. And enough time has passed that I am not reading what I meant anymore but only what the words say. I reread because I wanted to know what I said. I remember that I was fascinated by the idea that part of God could actually dwell in our hearts. I have speculated how any two could truly understand one another... I have heard that eyes are windows to the soul... Fun to think about how, oh nevermind...
