Human Being's Awesome Value

There are many songs dedicated to the term, 'the good ol' days'.  Even theme songs to popular shows begin about how the milk man and innocent television show are long gone.

 

We currently live in a world where people feel it is more tragic to drop a popular phone than to care for the life of a fellow human being.  This is the tragedy of the current human condition.

How great is the true value of humans?

We are the only beings that God longs for over tens of thousands of years. 



According to my observations, this fact happens to be the basis for the creation of the universe.


God and human beings relate to one another on the internal, external, vertical(spiritual) and horizontal (physical) perspectives about the world of love can be established.

God binds these at the deepest core of the heart and comes to reside in the center of them all.

Without uniting into one, the standard of vertical and horizontal cannot develop into the ideal form of love.

 

 

 

A vertical (spiritual) form alone does not guarantee the existence of he horizontal (physical) form.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, it is necessary that you get an understanding that God had no other choice but to create human beings in this form.

God is an absolute being with an pure ideal for His creation which was corrupted.

He pursues beings who can relate to Him with absolute value.

This value is not exchanged for anything else in that exists in all of creation.  Could the love of your life be replaced by another?






 

 A being that can relate to God has a value that is greater than that of God Himself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is this statement true or is it blasphemy?

How can we say a being is more important than the Creator Himself? 

The form in existence that has this absolute value before God is none other than humankind.  God created us as beings of value with this idea.









God created humankind for the sake of love.

Human beings were created because of love.

We are different from any other being in creation because we were created as God's sons and daughters.

As humans, God created us as His object partners  This means that through relating with us, He receives love.  This does not mean we were created to serve or worship God.

We were created to receive love directly from Him.

This is a privilege only given to humankind.  Therefore, because we are in the position to receive God's love, we resemble God.  God, then, desires love just as you and I do.  

In God's ideal of creation, humans were to embody God as his image and the rest of creation was to embody God in symbols.  This is based on Love.

When God rejoices, people will automatically rejoice, then when they rejoice, the creation will automatically rejoice as well. This was the original way of the world.

How could this be possible?

This could only come about through true love...nothing else could achieve such a link to God and the creation.

Some may say that is placing humans on the same level as God.

You must think deeply about this fact.  If God was to create an object that would reflect His love and internal being, whom would God make it resemble?

Wouldn't He rather have it resemble Him than anything else in creation?

Then, if God creates an object that resembles Himself, then that object would have all of His characteristics, both male and female characteristics that are within God.

We resemble God;He made us in His image.  We are the substantial, physical manifestations of His internal nature and His invisible form and His invisible mind.

Whose eyes do our eyes resemble? God's.




 

God's invisible being is symbolically reflected in all parts of our body.  

Have you ever thought about that?

The Bible even states that we are made in the 'image' of God. Then wouldn't this mean that He would create our bodies to resemble Him as well as His heavenly charcter.

When you closely observe the human anatomy you will see that the facial features, the eyes are set deeper than other features.

Our deep-set eyes can thus observe everything.

Then the nose symbolizes Adam and Eve.  Next, the mouth symbolizes all the things of creation.  It is horizontal and encloses thirty-two teeth or four times eight based on all the things of creation in the world and the number.

Who knew that God had placed all of these hidden symbols within our body?  Next the ears symbolize all directions.  The features that are found above the neck symbolize heaven.

In other words, the features above the neck is the information center of heaven.

Did you know that the Lord of Creation placed every part of His internal form in the face of human beings?

Hence, God's characteristics can be found there.  The eyes symbolize God, therefore, the eyes are the first features to develop.

Since God is the center of the universe, the eyes symbolize Him.  Just as the old saying goes, 'the eyes are the window to the soul', you can tell just by looking into someone's eyes whether they are conscientious person or not.

What would be the core of truth?

The center would not be knowledge, money or power.  

The core of truth would be love.  Love's essence is vertical (spirit) and truth that embodies love is horizontal.

Because we are created in his image, you would know Him by looking at creation.  Adam and Eve are the object partners of vertical love while standing as subject partners to the creation.

If the love between a man and woman can be made to be together with the axis of the world through east, west north and south, then God the spirit world and the entire physical world would be connected.

You need to attain oneness with your spouse. 

When a subject and object partner attain unity, reproduction takes place.

This can only happen through the action of give and take.  This place is truly one of joy.  Therefore, only when man and woman unite, can the subject of the couple be established.

When they are united, the man is automatically the subject even if he does not want to be.

 

We need to voluntarily be part of activities that demonstrate God's original love.  

Human beings need to love God and come closer to Him.

The first commandment Jesus gave was to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and with all of your mind.  To love God comes first.  You need to love God with all your body and soul.  You need to go to the very end, and not go halfway in loving God.

In such a manner, you need to attain the state in which your heart reflects God's image, with an original nature that is absolutely aligned to become one with Him. Through this, you will attain the beginning and the end of everything. The first commandment dictates this as the way to love God. 

The rhythm of the expression of joy can bring God, human beings and everything in its presence which can dance in tune with this rhythm either symbolically or substantially.  

When this happens, the day that all of creation can feel this liberation is when it will be able to exclaim, "Yes, my existence in this world is worthwhile!"

Wouldn't it be even the smallest creature in the world's wish to be a part of the grand feast that celebrates the love of God and humankind coming together?

What a day that will be.  This is the day in which God has longed for since the beginning of creation before His ideal was destroyed.

The creation is the foundation on which God's sons and daughters can be created. 

This is how we are connected together in a relationship based on this foundation.

This is true of animals, minerals, and plants.  Stamen and pistils that are found in the plant world are similar to the male and female that are found in the animal kingdom.

The greatest masterpiece of creation is the internal nature and external form of human beings.

We are the combination of all forms of creation brought and bound together.
