My goodness, what a fascinating piece. I'm no scientist and have never really thought about what a stem cell is: this concept of pluripotency, and how it's applied more widely, is slightly mind-blowing. It did strike me as amusing in a way that the "source" wanted to see itself reflected in gazillions of mirrors - that's some Ego and maybe we should be more understanding about our own 😄 - but I appreciate the clarification that "creation" is more about an "overflowing". Maybe, at a micro level, anyone creating, whether through writing, other forms of art or engineering a machine or form of technology, knows that feeling of fullness spilling out when inspiration hits.
And what about the non-material dimension? Where our souls go after our bodies die? Where people go when they die temporarily and then are resuscitated during Near Death Experiences?
Thx

(Wonderful article!!!! I "believe in God" with no associate religion and have been communicating with atheists on Quora, following my curiosity and notice how bleak atheism is compared to almost any spiritual approach. I am mute on the subject when it comes to trying to communicate with them about this richness, that which accompanies trying to live with an understanding that behind this life of bodies and things, there is MORE and that it is worth reaching out to know more about it.)( They say...."no there isn't")

What a beautiful and classic essay.
Lovely.
