Psychological interpretation

Genesis 1:26-28 read psychologically: man himself is the earth to be subdued. The creeping things and animals are his passions and emotions, the fish of the deep his invisible states, the fowls of the air his ideas. Not knowing this he goes out to conquer the world and sees himself a grasshopper among giants; knowing it he is supreme within the circle of his own consciousness, tames (subdues) himself, and has dominion over every idea he chooses to accept.
