MICHAEL BERG SAYS WE MUST DO WHAT GOD DOES
From an interview with Michael Berg of the Kabbalah Centre with Beliefnet's Rebecca Phillips:
Rebecca Phillips: I have to admit when I first saw the title of your book, "Becoming Like God," I was taken aback. My immediate reaction was: That's not possible. The whole idea seems blasphemous.
Michael Berg: It is a concept that has been around for thousands of years, but people aren’t necessarily aware of it. To underscore the point, I often ask people the meaning of the biblical passage that says that man was created in God’s image. There aren't many ways to explain it, except in that simplest form. It means that every one of us is built with the essence of God. Our soul is the essence of God, and that means that every single one of us has the potential to become like God and to heal, to bless, to do almost everything that God can do.
