“The apple doesn't fall far from the tree” English proverb. This saying has been used to express the view that children take the traits of their parents. Either they look like their parents, behave like their parents or do the things their parents do. 

We are made in the image of God, the Creator. He calls us to exhibit qualities similar to the ones He has. To have the same character as He does. He says in the Scriptures that we should be holy, perfect, loving, kind, just, generous, forgiving just as He is.

I was thinking about this the other day and it occurred to me how our bodies have some qualities that are similar to those of the Creator. Listen to this,  I see the following similarities: 

• The Creator or God reveals Himself to us human beings in three ways in what is described in Christianity as the Holy Trinity: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Similarly, like I explained in Episode 2, I think our bodies can be viewed in three levels: the Outer body, the inner body and the most inner(invisible) body. 
• Our subconscious mind is always at work just like God is always at work as Scripture says. In John 5:17 when Jesus was questioned about working during the Sabbath, he responded by saying his Father is always working. In Psalm 121:3-4 Scripture describes God by saying that He never slumbers or sleeps. 
• Our souls and spirits are invisible and can exist eternally just as God does. 

I should be careful to sound a warning here. We should be like God but not God. We should embody and exhibit His qualities and characteristics but not assume or take His position. We should hold firm to the saying let man be man and God be God. Being a law unto ourselves is the highest form of pride in my view. As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall, if we set ourselves as god, then we will definitely descend into a chaotic life. Harmony therefore is found in the balance of being like God but not being God.
