"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."
