"One fundamental truth ringing forth from the chronicles
of humanity is the assertion that Man--"the pinnacle of
Creation"--is made in the image of God. A thoroughly
humbling realization; but, what does being made in the
image of God really mean; and, if this image of God is
a self evident truth for us, then it should also be self
evident in the structure of the Universe. Conceivably,
if we can assimilate this axiomatic image [an underlying
common structure in both Man and the Universe] we might
be able to actualize ourselves in consonance with it, and
finally begin our returning ascent back to the source of
the flow."
