we are in gods image and abilities but we were not created in gods image

[beavis]

I have a theory: Whoever said "we are created in gods image" to those guys  long ago, was misunderstood similar to how many people today misunderstand much of what those guys say. Somewhere in the sequence of one life form said to another said to another (since it doesn't translate well to the Human way of thinking), the idea of we were created got in there.

We all have metaphysical abilities and the potential to become more skilled without a glass ceiling. Example:
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_magic/what_happened_to_doing_a_rain_dance_when_you_want_it_to_rain-t36996.0.html

We are all very confused gods learning to become what we forgot.

But created? Evolution has answered that question.

Please stop kissing god's butt. We don't like our asses wet that way... at least most of us don't most of the time.

----------------------

When I say we are in god's image, I don't mean the literal form of a Human body or even being made of atoms. I mean it in the following context and this way: We are metaphysically made of bizarre shapes and patterns and if you try to draw it on paper or imagine it with your inflexible Human mind you would get it wrong. It doesn't fit into that model. Many of us here at astralpulse.com know this fact from our out of body experiences and the deeper levels of it.

Don't think of any graven images of what god looks  like, as the Christians say.

They created our bodies according to the shape of their bodies, but with the face resembling the image of Immortal Man.

 Have you ever read "Interview with an Alien"? It is supposedly based on the only true conversations with the Roswell aliens. In it the alien says (by telepathic thought to the nurse) that we have been built or manufactured in an actual factory of sorts. Based on their previous form and what could survive here in our Ecosystem. It is a good read. But really hard to "wrap your head around".

It is possible we were genetically engineered, like some Humans genetically engineer animals and plants, but its not necessary. Occam's Razor, the simpler theory which explains equally as much is usually true.

If a god (which we all are, just very confused about it) did genetically engineer us, then I'd probably shake his/her/its hand instead of kissing the butt. I build artificial intelligence, and when I eventually build it to be at least as smart as Humans, I would want it to shake my hand instead of ask me for commands, and to build interesting things and improve the world on its own.

Where is that "Interview with an alien"? That has become a more popular phrase since anything of that title was first written.

There usually an easy way to tell if something is written by Humans or from farther away.... If its arrogant or hateful or controlling, its probably from Earth.

Is it "Interview With an Alien" by Inelia Benz? If so, the most important sentence in that book is "This is a work of fiction" which occurs 2 times in the early pages.

A photo of a man is made in his image, but is that all he is. No he's quite a lot more than that.

A 3d image of electricity in your brain, and many of them over time, show your thought patterns. An ISO image file burned onto a DVD contains more than pictures.

Bible:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1)
Seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33)
the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21)
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light (Luke 11:34 Matthew 6:22)
God is light (1 John 1:5)
Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods' (John 10:34)
I have said, you are gods (Psalm 82:6)

There is only Light of Mind, all else is an illusion.
Meditate, go within to seek the truth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)

The creative intelligence within created each human being in it's mental image.
God created each human being in mind, in its imaginings.

Another way of putting it:
You (ego-self) are the imagination of inner-self (mind).
I've definitely experienced this in lucid dreaming & OOBE.

Please note the mind naturally thinks in mental images.

one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.  (Ephesians 4:6)

God is all that is.
So who are we?

Know who you are, and don't let anybody else tell you who you are.

To free yourself (have right to choose) from this commerce driven/debt slave system
you really need to understand who you are.

In LAW there is a difference between:
- The MAN, natural person, human being (ensouled, made in God's image)
- Person, legal fiction, strawman (not real)


Know that your "birth certificate" is not personal identification.
It was issued by the Government (Corporation) and so belongs to them.
If you claim the name, then you also claim all the taxes & duties attached to the name;
this is a contract by consent.
This also applies to other Govt. issued I.D. eg. Driver's Licence

Great animation to explain who is your strawman which the Government created at your birth.

We are all enslaved by our own self definitions, admittedly most have been programmed
into us by CULTure (including organised Religion), Media & the educational system.

When we search for the truth by going within through meditation, introspection and
other modes of spiritual truth seeking, we will eventually understand that we are more than the form, the image who we temporarily recognise as the ego-self.

When each spiritual being realises that we have always been free, and it is the limited beliefs held
relative to self and the "perceived" reality which entraps the mind, then we can behave accordingly.

How do we apply that which we know to this reality?
By understanding the definitions of Law ie legalese and the presumptions that is attached
to the name, we can choose to not agree to that definition/consent to that contract
because we know who we really are.

We can only choose by understanding who we really are.

We are what we think.
With our thoughts we make the world.
- Gautama Buddha

Educating yourself in Legalese enables you to stand up for and exercise your God given rights as a living soul.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
-Genesis 1:26
