Co-Creators

In our Enneagram Group last night, it was suggested that our identity, our Essence, was like a light and that our personality was like a transparent piece of colored paper. So the question was asked, if our essence was the light, what was the purpose of the transparent colored paper? One of the answers that was suggested was that the colored paper was how we were able to express our Co-Creator-ness. One of the ways we were made in the Image of God was in the creating aspect and it is in our personality that we get to co-create. We get to (co)"create" a personality that blesses or we get to (co)"create" a personality the curses. We get to determine how the light is experienced by those around us (for better or for worse . . . ).
