LJ 20 - people were created to become angels

LJ 20
He who has been instructed concerning Divine order,
may moreover understand, that man was created to become an angel,
because in him is the ultimate of order,
in which ultimate,
whatever belongs to celestial and angelic wisdom
may be formed, renewed, and multiplied. . . .

God said,
Let us make man in our image,
according to our likeness;
and God created man in His image,
in the image of God created He him;
male and female created He them;
and God blessed them,
and God said unto them,
be fruitful and multiply.

(Genesis 1 26-28)

"To create in the image of God, and in the likeness of God,"
is to confer upon a person all things of Divine order from firsts to ultimates,
and thus to make him an angel as to the interiors of his mind.
