Symmorphy VI: Mankind

I was thinking about my long-term interest in undertanding the human, what we are and how we work. I had attempted to do a study on human psychology from the Bible during my college years at Blueberry. God forbade me even to study it. I know now that I would have got it all wrong since I was starting from false premises. 

But as I thought about a new book attempting to define 'the human,' I realized that the best approach would be as another Symmorphy text. But - if I write a sixth Symmorphy text, I must also write a seventh. It seems obvious to me that the seventh Symmorphy text must be Completion. 

And so I am writing these two new Symmorphy texts, just like the first five in approach and layout, because I want to know God alive inside of me and what He is up to, what He means by such a bold thing as to fill me full and to flow out from me as life.

Here is an outline of this text as I envision it now, with thoughts inserted as to things I must include. This outline is tentative and will likely change as I write.

Review
                                   
Final Exam: Write an extended definition of yourself as you are human. Keep it personal and in your own words, but include and reference everything you actually are. Feel free to alter your organization of thoughts differently from the textbook layout.
