We are God, God is Us

Divinity. Are human beings divine? The Church would argue not, but despite the evil that lies in the heart of man- by definition, divinity means to be god-like and/or to create. "And the Lord God made man (his greatest creation) in his own image".  It is our minds that make omnipotent and our souls that make us holy- thus we are divine. We are able to create: we can create beautiful sculptures and art; we can create our own realities through perception; and create life. Is that not the very essence of divinity? The act of creation is art and this art is divine. Although tattered by immorality, mankind at heart, hidden is still absolute divinity: "for the only difference between God and man, is that man has forgotten he is divine". Humans are introverted- almost ellusive to the very simplicity we fail to grasp. We look to things external of ourselves, expeditiously searching for forgotten answers to old questions- we search for power greater than ourselves- we search for a God; but we, our voice, is the one we seek- we are Gods. What is a god if not a creator? We humans are much like children, we have no faith in ourselves, so instead we place it externally. We use God as a safe haven for our insecurities- placing all our problems before him on bended knee- yet we ourselves have the power to mould our own outcomes. If we are made in his image how can we be powerless, bound to pews.  If we are the children of God, are we not then, at the very least, half-god and wholly divine. If we deny our own divinity, do we not then deny the divinity of our Father?
