In Genesis 1:27 it is written, “God created man in His own image.” God is Spirit, and therefore the image is spiritual. According to Edgar Cayce, the Divine Image is the soul of man, the Mind and Spirit those aspects of Man which are god-like, individual, and eternal.

For the image in which man was created is spiritual, as He thy Maker is spiritual.

The abilities of the psychic forces (psychic meaning, then, of the mental and the soul) . . .

364-10

. . . there . . . were those who were physically entangled in the animal kingdom with [the] appendages, with cloven hooves, with four legs, with portions of trees, with tails, with scales, with those various things that thought forms (or evil) had so indulged in as to separate the purpose of God’s creation of man as man—not as animal . . .
