"Image"

The statement "God created man in his own image and likeness" needs reinterpretation. "Image" can be understood as "thought," and "likeness" as "of a like quality."

God did create spirit in His Own Thought and of a quality like to His Own.

There is nothing else. Perception, on the other hand, is impossible without a belief in "more" and "less."

At every level it involves selectivity.

Perception is a continual process of accepting and rejecting, organizing and reorganizing, shifting and changing.

 Evaluation is an essential part of perception, because judgments are necessary in order to select.
