Infinity and ageless identity

JENIFER C. WECHSLER

Numbers don't really identify you or me. Height, weight, age, heart rate, have nothing to do with our true identity as man, the child of infinite good, God. None of these can ever accurately describe the limitless purity, grace, intelligence, and joy that are the true components of man's spiritual individuality.

What, then, is our standard for identity? The first chapter of Genesis tells us that man has been created in the image and likeness of the one perfect, limitless creator, God, and endowed with dominion over all that is created.

Man in this first and only true record of creation is seen as spiritual, incorporeal, ageless. As we expand our understanding of Spirit, God, and His creation as the only reality, we wake to realize that man—our true nature—as the reflection of infinite good, is imbued only with spiritual qualities, not finite restrictions.
