“What is the meaning of the image of God?” (Quora)

Dr. Michael LaitmanMichael Laitman, On Quora: What is the meaning of the image of God?

Our attitudes to certain people and things lead to various images and behaviors.

We depict the image of the Creator in His attitude toward the created beings. We can do so in relation to the inanimate, vegetative and animate levels of nature, but we mostly do so in relation to people, the human level. When we aim to apply the Creator’s attitude toward the created beings in our human connections, we gradually assemble the image of the Creator.

The Creator is the general force of nature, immaterial, still, and above the loftiest of our imaginations. The wisdom of Kabbalah studies how this force operates toward us, and what it desires from us.

Based on “Spiritual States” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Michael Sanilevich on May 21, 2022. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.
