326. It can now be seen from this that regarded from the perspective of their uses, all constituents of the created universe resemble in an image the human being, and this attests to the fact that God is human. For the phenomena we enumerated above do not spring up around a person or angel from the angel, but from the Lord through the angel. They arise, in fact, from an influx of the Lord's Divine love and wisdom into the angel, who is their recipient vessel, and are produced before his eyes as a creation of the universe. Therefore they know in their world that God is human, and that the universe, regarded in terms of its uses, is an image of Him.
