Eveiyah, the problem with man is that he is too connected to self (Ego) which is referred to as the "evil inclination" by the ancient prophets, who left a blueprint for us to spirituality. If you contemplate this for a moment and ask why do you exist? The only clear conclusion is that we exist because we were created with a "will to receive". Think about this for a minute. Everything you do is for your pleasure. If this does not make sense right now just observe yourself for the next minute, or two.

Now the Creator ask of nothing in return, since all things he created are for the soul's pleasure, but sensing this the "Self/Ego" keeps us from fulfilling our (The one soul which we are all a part of, similar to cells in the body) true desire, which is to cleave to the Creator and become like (his image) bestowing. The image is not for a moment physical. No wooly headed, grey beard man. We sense ourselves as we do because of our perception of our environment. 

So, be careful of that "self" its  pre-programmed desires, without free will.  It is your ego.  Until you conciously correct it the program remains as genetically written into your being.

The power that do all things is expressing itself constantly There is none else but HIM-THE CREATOR. No other image allowed. Better to ask man to find the point in their heart to reconnect to the CREATOR with a corrected self.   BeMore...
