“God created Man in His Image” can be interpreted in many ways.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of possible interpretations:
- Humanity, and all of creation, are simply a by-product of the Creator’s Imagination. We are to God what our imaginations are to us. To God, physical reality is as insignificant and nothing as our imaginations are to us. We can imagine a thing in our mind and immediately after that we can cease to imagine it, rendering it non-existent – in our mind. Similarly, God can render a thing BE and then immediately render it NOT TO BE.
- The popular interpretation is that Man (or the P.C. version of it being Humanity) has within it a Seed of Divinity, there is a Spark, a Connection between Human Beings and God. So what God has, Humans have also, albeit in a limited non-god-like way.
- Another interpretation which I derive from my amateurish studies of Illuminati / Freemasonry / Esoteric / Aleister Crowley / Nietzsche – and which I do not necessarily agree with but merely entertain as the opinion of a group of people who take it to be a valid philosophical hypothesis – is that Humanity is God’s most advanced experiment yet with a purpose to create something that would eventually match Him and succeed Him.
Consider the following phrases and symbols:
> “Children of God”
> “Son of God”
> “Ye are gods”
> “The Kingdom of Heaven lies within you”
> “As above, so below”
> The Cross being a symbol of the meeting between the Earthly (horizontal line) and the Heavenly (vertical) planes before it was adopted by Christianity.
Now, coming from a Muslim Monotheistic background, that would sound blasphemous coming from me. It is polytheism. God has no partner, no equal and bears no children! Of course, neither physically, spiritually nor metaphorically.
But I have another interpretation / view / way-of-seeing-it / paradigm which I presently subscribe to, and it is most likely not what you might expect.
You see, Mohamad Latiff being Mohamad Latiff, you cannot simply and conveniently put me in a box or a label or a grouping or a classification and be satisfied with it. No box is large enough to contain me, except for, “Be! And so it is”.
And I will expose this Latiffological Paradigm in a future writing of mine…
