> Man is only a PART of the greater whole - or by your definition God - therefore it's only logical that a PART of God exists inside each of us.

This is exactly how I feel also.

And I add the following that the challenege is to find that part of God that has been placed in us - and to find this we have our intellect to rely on. The problem is how one find God (i.e. the absolute truth) in himself/herself and others for which we do not know what it truly is! Only a few can come close to understaning the absolute turth, and the rest will either give up looking for it, or keep on their attempt to get close to finding it eventhough they never find it - but still trying.

It is analogous to the following: How can a born blind man truly understand what the color red "is", regardless of how much description and explanations are given to him? The best he can do is to use his own imagination to see and feel what the color red is. And in doing so the end result for most would be black for which that is all they have seen ever since they were born! Only a few - a very few - come close to understanding what the color red is all about.
