Here, also, is the possibility
that a description of the "Self" of God may also have differences that are specific to God alone as compared to the self of man (being a mirror of God's Self). But, here also is the possibility that God's Self is actually so completely revealed in the soul of man.
I guess so. Baha'u'llah said:
Upon
the reality of man, however, He hath focused the radiance of all of His names and attributes, and made it a mirror of His own Self.
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 65)
We can have all the attributes of God. Ironically, though mere minions, we humans actually have one attribute that God does not have - humility. So we can have one more attribute than God Himself. I guess we get the humility by mirroring the Manifestation, or 'Abdu'l-Baha.
Regards,
David
