In the process of iconasm, God creates you just like He created man, when you receive the Seal. God creates your soul, spirit, and heart within you when you are sealed.
On the first day when God created the earth He gave the universe some form. This is like the form He first gives you in iconasm. You are like the earth God created when you are sealed.
He created light and darkness and the Heavens. On the second day He created the seas and dry land on earth and caused the earth to bud forth with flowers. This is like how He creates a garden in you.
On the third day God created the sun, the moon, and the stars. And on the fourth day He created living creatures in the waters of the seas and rivers on earth. These creatures were created out of you.
They were created out of the Holy Spirit within you, who is those Waters of the earth you have become. Then out of your own Spirit He created the birds of the air, since that air is your Spirit.
You are host to all the life within you when you are sealed and made that little earth. You are made a complete garden. Your purpose is to bear fruit but the ecosystem is complete only with the creatures of the sea and air.
These creatures were created out of you in a process similar to iconasm. But they are not true iconasm. The difference is that in true Iconasm not only are you created through God but you are created in His Image also.
The creatures of your garden were not created completely in your image. On the fifth day God created the land creatures right before He created the man. These are made out of your soul, right where you are sealed.
And finally God created man, just like He will create you, or re-create you. He will create you with iconasm when you are sealed, stamping His Image upon your soul, spirit, and heart.
God the Father creates your soul with His own Image. Jesus Christ the Son of God creates your heart and your Spirit with His own Image. And the Holy Spirit creates your belly or emotions with His own Image.
You will think like God by the Father and act like God by the Son, and you will feel like God by the Holy Spirit. All this is accomplished when God in His three Persons impresses you with His Image.
This does not mean you have become God. But you have become His friend. And as His friend you do share some of His characteristics. You can not create the universe, so you are not God Himself.
But you have become a little garden complete with Life God has created there. When you bear fruit it pleases God and you also are glorified. But with all the Life within you there is the chance to become more.
You can become a shepherd and a fisherman and even a Lord of the skies also. You are given dominion over the Life of your garden just like man has dominion over the other creatures of the earth.
When you are sealed, God will create or re-create you completely. This will give you a new soul, heart, and belly, for new thoughts, actions, and feelings in the Image of God by iconasm.

Secrets to Living the Life You've Always Wanted
It seems rather odd to refer to any of what follows as secrets. For one thing, the word “secret” implies that something is hidden and the wisdom below is anything but secret. In some form or fashion, you could find these in virtually any spiritual tradition. Second, “secret” implies that the spiritual wisdom that would lead one to the life he/she really wants is really only accessible by a few. And, the unfortunate tendency is not to regard your self as one of the select few. But, of course, you are.
