Day 142: Like produces like

276:1-277:32

You can probably tell one of the phrases I underlined based on the title. Also:

Nothing we can say or believe regarding matter is immortal, for matter is temporal and is therefore a mortal phenomenon, a human concept, sometimes beautiful, always erroneous. 

So here is what today's reading stirred up in my head, based on year-to-date reading:

There is only one God. Man was created spiritually by this one God. God and his spiritual reflection, man, can only produce like -- spiritual reflections of God. 

An epiphany to me.
