The Bible says Man is made in the image of God. Of course this refers to Man before the Fall. After the fall of Man on earth, the Wretched Man, became satisfied as creatures of reaction with fantastic ideas to justify itself. For example It even calls itself an artist" for only egoistic reasons. What will they think of next I wonder?

Fall? U R one.

How gullible U R to even consider the buy_bull as ALL truth.

Who arts in heaven? I do. Je sus - I sussed IT out.

Quite true. I am an atom of the fall of Man.

Plato defined Man as a being in search of meaning? What satisfies your need for meaning? If you don't know it means you don't know yourself. If you don't know yourself, how can you be drawn to what gives meaning other than the temporarily superficial instead of the direction of our Source?

Trust me, I don't know myself anywhere near as well as God or even my sage. They know about my previous live(s) a little of which has been advised to me. The sage told me last week he wants to buy me a beer - apparently he lives in California, so I'll have a Killians Red - my fav US beer.
Hopefully Jesus will be there and we can play some pool (so long as He doesn't cheat by warping the physics of reality).

Watch out for those California sages. He will tell you about perfection but chants off key. He wants your money and will bring along Jesus Gonzales, a famous pool hustler to take your money as you're knockin down the Killians. It's all done in the spirit of peace and love. Your sage will teach you all you need to know to serve your sage so that you can experience the meaning of life.
