God created man

     In the beginning, man,

          conceived in Mind,
               reflects Soul; 
          formed of Spirit,
               likens Principle;
          known by Life, Truth & Love,
               images God,
                    now and forever.

                                                            ~Carolyn St.Charles

     Man reflects God by virtue of his authentic DNA. 
     Man, who lives in the world, is conformed by God.

     Man experiences pain when not aware of this fact.
     Man, who holds he is agnostic or an atheist, sleeps.

     Man dreams his world and claims it as his creation.
     Man, tossing and turning, tries to govern but cannot.
    
     Man becomes battle-tired and hears his name called.
     Man, opening his eyes, clears away the blurring veil.

     Man was mystified by the unreal but now is awake.
     Man, feeling satisfied, healthy and joyous, laughs.
     
     Man knows the good, truth and beauty as God said.

"Man Seeks God: My Flirtations With the Divine."

 12/26/11 PBS Newshour - Ray Suarez interviews former NPR journalist, Eric Weiner about his book: "Man Seeks God: My Flirtations With the Divine."

"I always thought that religious people were somehow more narrow-minded or not as expansive in their world view as secularists. And I have totally changed my mind about that." ~Weiner

Religious conversation in the US seems totally polarized but in reality, there is a great tolerance for religious diversity. Weiner pointed to one survey that found about half of Americans think: "All religions are equally true and good"

He also noted that "G.K. Chesterton said the test of a good religion is whether we can make fun of it. And I think there's something to that." I agree.

Often when working in Science with individuals, I have found that at the extremity of a challenge, at its point of unbelievable absurdity is the hem of Truth that sets free - the erroneous belief is corrected and wholeness demonstrated. Some might call it a "paradigm shift" while others would call it healing.
