This makes me think of an alternate view of "made in the image of God" that I came across this year and cite often. In Jodie Helm's channeling, https://jodieshelm.medium.com/where-should-we-place-our-faith-9931fd28a1d0 ,includes this passage: "You were created so that you could also create. This is what it means to be created in the image of God. This is a gift and a responsibility. You are not only charged to create for yourself, but also to create for the good of humanity, and you are given all the gifts you need to accomplish this."
PS: Rebecca emailed me your article. We often recommend pieces to each other
