As modern beings we often see ourselves through the lenses of media, society and ‘expectation’. But is our identity just a shallow, shadowy representation of our true selves? We have the potential to be more than we each see in ourselves or each other. ‘Imago Dei’ imagines us and others in our full possibility, across dimensions, time and space – the fullness of our being. No longer are we bound by the shackles of expectation but we are able to step into our full possibility and wonder. Oscar Wilde critically noted:
‘Most People are Other People, their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives are a mimicry, their passions are a quotation’
- Oscar Wilde, 1895.
When we are living as the Imago Dei, we are truly and unashamedly released.
