Theophilus -
I believe that everything in existence is the manifestation of god. So I would say that we (and everything that exists) is, in a way, god's image.
In terms of creation, I don't consider that god ever created anything, because that would imply that it created in the way that we would create something. But if god is the "creator" of everything, what could he have used to create with, if god is the only thing that exists (other than "things")? Surely it would create from itself? I believe that god is everything, and simultaneously infinitely beyond everything, so instead of saying created, I'd say manifested.
What would you say god wants you to do or not do? And would you say that my explanations above are accurate in any way or would you disagree? And feel free to ask me anything.
