You have set your glory above the heavens.
From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is Man that you are mindful of him, the son of Man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
- Psalm 8 (New International Version).

Splendid!
This is an awesome take on a very special book of Psalm.
It took me a while before I could actually understand what you were trying to point out here…lol.
We, as humans, were originally endowed with a lot of esoteric powers. But we allowed our greed to overshadow our senses and then we lost it all.
A friend referred this blog to me and I've been impressed with everything I read so far. In fact, I have been scrolling way back to read what you've writing since the previous years. You are an awesome writer, and a "thinker". Kudos.
Humans were created to be special but we messed up BIG time!
I will definitely recommend this book of Psalm for Bible study in our church. It didn't really occur to me that it had such a powerful message. Thanks.
In my opinion, this book of Psalm can be interpreted in a million ways.
Generally-speaking, the glory and powers with which we were created were enormous until the fall of Man.
Jesus! The points raised in this book of Psalm just occurred to me…..after all these years!
