Becoming Like God, Climbing The Tree of Life There are two fundamental ways to live life , and that reflects in every choice we make, every thought we have, every action we take. One way is to say: “I am all I can be, and my job is to make the best with what I have got. If I choose to grow, I have schools to go to, I have people who know more than I do, and I can learn from them.” This is the Tree of Knowledge way. The other is: I am made of the substance of God, and that substance is capable of being like God , as it is of God. Not only the substance is capable to be like God , it wants to be like God .
