As we learn to know and understand God, we learn to see ourselves as perfect, the image and likeness of God, or as God's eternal, spiritual idea.
Christ is that aspect of God, which impelled by divine Love, is understandable to human consciousness.
If we want to ascend to God, we must avoid sin, which clouds the mind. A pure mind prays best and most clearly communicates with God. We must pray, live holily, and strive to express God's attributes of love, forgiveness, order, intelligence, artistry, purity, growth, and truthfulness -- in order to understand and see ourselves as God's image and likeness.
God is calling us to do this and has made us able to do it.
In the first stage, carnal sense appears to be intelligent and believes itself to be because it believes it understands the nature of everything.
Carnal sense is concerned with material things, with counting, measuring, weighing, and naming all the objects in the material world, evaluating function, distinguishing one thing from another, etc.
In the second stage, the believer is one stage higher because the believer knows there is MORE than a physical universe...
One state is material and corporeal, the other spiritual and eternal. In the corporeal stage there is corruption, while the spiritual is eternally pure and incorruptible. "Behold, I make all things new."
Man in God's image and likeness has a 7-fold nature derived from God. God is infinite, without boundary or limitation and is all-Power, all-Presence, all-Spirit or eternal substance. This immensity is seen in the complex nature of the creation, its beauty, sublimity, grandeur, and order. Likewise, Scripture indicates the "immensity of His wisdom," and the Church reflects the infinitude of His goodness.
A spiritual awakening must take place in order for the individual to see God. The awakening begins when the individual starts to look for God's image in others. We have to look for the image -- it takes effort because corporeal consciousness hides it from our view. "Open your eyes, therefore, prick up your spiritual ears, open your lips, and apply your heart, that you may see God in all creatures..."
Journey motif is pervasive in global literature, attributed to the existence of collective symbols common to all human societies as archetypes (Zhang, 2008). Both Homer's Iliad and Shakespeare's Henry V incorporate the journey motif as a literary technique. This serves to elevate the status of the protagonist to the heroic level, as the character struggles to meet challenges and overcome obstacles without the familiar trappings of home, family, and social
Journeys in Yiddish Literature The Yiddish writings, Nachman of Bratslav's "Tales of the Lost Princess," Tsene Rene: The Creation Jacob Ben Isaac Ashkenazi, and Ma'aseh Book, all present a journey of faith and trust. Although some of the stories are actual journeys to distant places, they too represent a journey of the soul, a journey into the unknown armed only with faith and perseverance. These writings are teaching tools of faith
Science cannot prove that love exists and yet most scientists have probably felt love at least once in their lives. Just because something cannot be proven using the scientific method does not mean that thing does not exist. The scientific method might never work to prove the existence of soul mates or reincarnation. Folk wisdom has alone carried the torch of belief in such mystical things. Soul mates is a
God the Almighty bestowed on His Beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) a miracle -- al- Israa' wal- Mi'raj (the Night Journey & Ascension) -- in order that his honor be increased and that he be revealed one of His grand signs. God the Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an: "Holy is He Who carried His bondman by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque around which We have put blessings
Dante's journey through his 'mid-life' crisis. It uses 7 sources in MLA format and it has a list of bibliography. Mid-life is a period in life in which adults take on new responsibilities, in the family, and at work and changes are often wrought within, not only in the physical but also in their spiritual self. The realities of life often stare them in the face, a very real possibility
Morality in Literature Journey as pursuit for 'true' morality: Literary analysis of works from William Shakespeare, Jonathan Swift, Moliere, Dante, and Samuel Coleridge More than depicting the nature of humanity, literature has also seen the preponderance of artistic works that delve into the morality of humans. Society has been exposed to the dichotomy and conflict between goodness and evil, or, more concretely, between what is considered as right or wrong. The standard
