Subject: Man is considered to be what to God? |
Bible Note: Man is the physical manifestation of Divine Mind speaking the words of creativity.."I Am".God spoke and therefore we are. God is only God if there is a point of reference from which to experience the Self. Before there was time,creation or anything there was God, the All. Yet how could All experience that it was all unless there be something that be not all. This as Ernst Holmes says is "the thing itself". Man is that "be not all" while at the same time containing the expression and Divine Right of All. In deed if we live and move and have our being in Spirit than Spirit must be this All. |
