The Mirror of the Creator

-


A creation is a reflection of the creator. This is true with humans when we build a construct or make art or write stories or poetry or philosophy. This is especially true with God. We are all reflections of Him in some way and in some form.  I truly believe humanity was created in God's image, and we all share some degree of his creative capacity.


    Our creativity within our minds and within our actions is where the image of God is reflected in us the greatest. That, and our capacity to show love and compassion. In fact, I look at the act of creating something as one of the highest examples and demonstrations of an act of love. Whether it be art, writing, or even the conceiving of children, creating something is, quite often, an act of love. 


       You more often than not love something you created. Something you put a part of yourself into. Something that becomes a substantial part of your life and part of who you are.  What you create is a reflection of you, in part or in whole. It's a sample of your mind and soul.


     I believe this is true pertaining to how God relates to humanity and how God relates to existence. To me, God is infinite in every respect of the term infinite. Infinite in his complexity, infinite in His creative capacity, and infinite in His love and His glory.


To me, I view that God created an existence that would be akin to Him "looking in a mirror." 

 

He created an existence that mirrors His own infinity. A truly infinite system created by a truly infinite creator. This is a reflection and demonstration of His power and His glory to the highest degree possible.


His creation serves as a platform for all things, especially a platform for His Love and His glory.


Another "mirror" of Himself, aside from the created existence, is His creation of other creators. These other creators, which includes humanity as well as other beings, mirror God's image even more than the infinite creation because they are conscious, willful things who have a sample of God's creative capacity. Conscious, mindful beings reflect the divinity and creativity of God far more than the infinite system that serves as their platform


A created creator reflects the image of the supreme Creator far more than anything else could. This is how I see myself and my peers as "created in God's image." To some measure or degree, all of us share in God's creativity.  We are created creators created by an absolute Creator.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

-
Image
Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
