Panentheism: ... clarifying ... Man made in the Image of God As certainly as science has brought society to a new level of sterility, it has just as certainly brought us, as individuals and as a species, to a potentially higher level of self-perception. This self-perception is so dazzling that even a reversal of the big bag, the implosion of reality itself, could not reduce our individual contributions to eternity. Science is not at fault for our lack of progress in the field of self-perception. Science has accomplished its purpose magnificently. we are the ones that have fallen behind in our willingness to reevaluate who we are. Violence and conflict abound in our daily lives because we do not understand our true nature. We are all a part of God. Our souls are sparks of God. How would our world be different if the realization of our being a part of God fueled each interaction? How would we, ourselves, be different? Journey through the third millennium to the year three thousand AD and glimpse what might be if we insist on remaining as we are. examine an alternative. We have free will and the ability, the power, to alter the course of our future - all we have to do is choose to do so.
