In My Image

Living your life by example is an important factor in creating the perfect relationship with God. The bible really stresses this concept because in doing so, you show others and yourself what is right. Not only does this create a closer bond of love with others but can lead an individual to begin seeing the need for a positive relationship with other humans and their environment as it ultimately leads to higher peace and understanding. The need for a positive attachment is really important as it begins to create a real biological bonding that can ultimately change your environment physically.

However, what type of environment does love ultimately create physically versus any other emotion. There ultimately was no greater sacrifice than for God to give up his son to die on a cross for the sins of the world. And how important does it seem today that to be a christian and a believer, means living your life to mirror that of christ. It makes you wonder and ask many questions because when you think of humans, they are amazing. The whole world was created in 7 days and man was the last creature because he was to be created in God's image. God, who is the creator of life.

When Adam and Eve questioned his knowledge, they created a cycle that broke that bond with God. Basically they were left stranded in this world to suffer the pains of labor-for Eve and for man, to work hard to survive. Though humans obviously learned to make it. I wonder if at the most basic level, we only questioned God's existence physically but at our most basic core, the perfection of God, was deeply rooted in our biological identity. As is common knowledge, your image is that first impression you leave on your audience. It is that initial knowledge of you that will forever be imprinted on another person's sense of identity, though with time that imprinting can be lost from a person's memory.

A perfect example of man as creator is a baby because a baby exemplifies that core biological identity two people could hold in a love bond. It is that perfect memory of a parent's love that a baby forever carries within his or her being. Though not every child looks like his parents, it is always amazing when a baby mirrors the image of his or her parent and brings to question whether a child could really understand creation and God at an early age. Rather than seeing memory as a vision of passive identities stored in a locked space within time, memory is dynamic and changes over time based a on a person's exepriences, thoughts, and feelings which can shape the outcome of a person's bond with others and his environment. Ultimately it seems that the a person's memory is interest-determined and holds interest-carried traces within our awareness and relationship of our selves with others and with God.

trackback =========================== Abu Tufail reported: I visited Abu Sariha Hudhaifa b. Usaid al-Ghifari who said: I listened with these two ears of mine Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The semen stays in the womb for forty nights, then the angel, gives it a shape. Zubair said: I think that he said: One who fashions that and decides whether he would be male or female. Then he (the angel) says: Would his limbs be full or imperfect? And then the Lord makes thein full and perfect or otherwise as He desires. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood, and his death and what about his disposition? And then the Lord decides about his misfortune and fortune. {Book 033, Chapter 1, Number 6395: Sahih Muslim
