Image of God - our calling is to manifest it in all its plenitude

01/11/2005

God created us in his image, and our task during our earthly existence is to seek this image within ourselves and to manifest it. Some have achieved this goal. And since some have achieved it, to claim that others are incapable of doing so is unacceptable. Just as there are no naturally superior races, there are no naturally superior human beings. They differ only in their degree of evolution, as they have not all made the same efforts and accomplished the same work during their successive incarnations. But the truth is that everything that happens in the world, all the happy and unhappy adventures people experience are nothing more than moments in this attempt to express in its fullness the image of God. If they are not reminded of this, how will they make up their minds to work toward this end? All education must emphasize this point, so that human beings can recover in themselves all the knowledge that is buried there.
