The Ideal Man We Have Forgotten but Shall Become
"Be a man," they say. Being a man (or womb-man) means different things to different people, and your ideal may not be mine or my wife's. We are all wrong, anyway.
In the course of becoming humans, we FORGOT what the ideal man is. My understanding is that the creation in Genesis is the plan for what will be accomplished at the end. The end is the GOAL we shall achieve, and in that we have forgotten it, it is Paradise Lost.
We said, "Let us make man in our image," and we made the perfect man . . .in plan. We all are going to become him, but first we need to remember what we had in mind! Here is a hint: we were God, and we said, "Let us make man in our image," and our image is the Law. We just haven't become men according to the Law yet.
Not "a man of the Law," a guy who follows a bunch of superstitious religious injunctions; but a man of the "Law," of the nature of the ineffable spirit being we really are. The Ideal man is the manifestation of the Law, the nature of God, for he is the image of God who IS the Law.
When I say "Law," I mean it like Raymond Holliwell means it in Working with the Law: Powerful Principles for Abundant Living. The Law is the positive nature of God for which the ignorant have the "shalt nots." The Perfect Man will be an individual who Gods (a verb) because he has the character of God, the awareness that he IS God, and the maturity to God. We all have some maturing to do.
Such a man will imagine and actualize his life-force for good on all levels of his existence. I think this is what Ezekiel was seeing in chapter one of that book. The four LIVING creatures are men, and the four "faces" each has are the various fields or levels of our existence. Perhaps it is that we live to each other and we live to God and we live to the earth and we live to our selves. These are fields of life our life-force is engaged in.
These men imagine (the Hebrew word for 'potter' means imagination), and their living, Godding relationships with all of existence work as potters at their "wheels within the wheel" of the earth's existence. Ezekiel is just seeing it all at once in his meditative state. I can just hear him saying like Gomer Pyle, "Sha-zam! So this what life really is."
How those men are, we are destined to become. We shall be myriads of individuals in full cooperation bound in love as the Most High--Its true imagic, manifest form.
A little Post-Script, if you would: Regarding Working with the Law, I do not believe in the Law of Attraction at all. It is just the singular most stupid thing I have ever heard of. I do not have a problem with vibration or its role in causation, but magnetic attraction? Pleease. We cause by imagining, faith and action, not by shaking.
