The Image and Likeness

We are made in the image and likeness of the divine.  That does not mean that the divine is a human being with human features, and human stupidities, thank God.  It means that underneath appearances, thoughts, life situations, there is a presence within our very own being that is indeed the very image and likeness of the divine.  It's not that we have to reconfigure ourselves to fit that image and likeness model, simply we must realize that our very nature is already the image and likeness of God itself.
We do not find our God-likeness on the level of thought, emotion, or physical bodies...we find that likeness in our most essential beingness.  We are not hidden by some veil, or obstruction, or internal dilemma.  We are merely hidden by our taking ourselves to be what we are not. 
If we take ourselves to be the body, the thoughts in the head, the emotions, our persona,  then we miss our true likeness.  Our likeness is deeper than those superficial phenomena.  It is in truth what all those things arise in.  We could call it simply 'I'. 
To realize that your likeness is truly the likeness of God nature, is to utter the phrase I Am That I Am.  No other image or likeness of ourselves will ever feel complete, but we can realize our completeness by seeing what our true appearance is.
