Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Genesis is the statement of God creating man in His image. It begs many questions of how that even makes sense. Is God a human being just like us? What does it mean that He created man in His image if it does not imply that we are a copy of Him? Furthermore, if that is the case then how could God be anything more than just a superhuman that made copies of Himself? And if God has no form, but we do, that is,  if everything in the world has boundaries and is limited by some property (height, width, length, time) but God is absolutely unlimited, as is written, “For He has no place, no boundary, no name” (Ari, The Tree of Life, Part One, Gate One), then what could we possibly have in common? How can limited and unlimited be similar? It seems unlikely that we can reconcile the idea that we are created in His image if we are under the axiom that God by definition is unimaginable. An analogy would answer this dilemma. DNA is the genetic information contained within the cells that comprise living organisms; it is the manual through which cells create other cells and proteins in order to continue life. Nearly every single cell in a human body (and any other organism) contains within it the same respective genetic information. That is, a bone cell and a skin cell contain within them identical genetic code. However, skin cells utilizes a different aspect of DNA in order to create other cells and proteins for skin and the same applies to bone cells. On a whole body level a human is the result of the transcription and subsequent translation of genetic information in the form of DNA into physical matter. It therefore can be said that we are made in the image of DNA, since DNA is the manual for a cell to differentiate and proliferate. DNA and protein, that is, the information that cells contain within them–the manual that they use to create things–and the DNA are completely different in form, but exactly the same in essence. God can  be thought as the source from which everything emanates, the program of reality itself, which is rendered from a formless unknown, unlimited spiritual information, into a vast, but limited reality in which we are contained.
