Confidence is Overrated

[YinYang]

I had the funniest thought as I was laying in the bath, and thinking about design. Everywhere you look is a human being’s design, or creation. There is nowhere you can turn your gaze, and not see someone’s creation. The shower head, the shampoo bottle, the razor, the tooth brush, the kettle, the toaster, the light fittings, the cutlery, the furniture, your clothes, your watch, the layout of the apartment, the design of the building, the city planner, every car and bicycle driving in the street down below… we are living inside each other’s creations. So I was wondering if a little bit of the essence of the person who designed the shampoo bottle label for instance, is in it, and so on for everything else, and if so, how many energies are floating and swirling around.

How many people , if they’re all combined, have contributed to all the objects you touch or see everyday? It’s a funny thought, because it makes everything come alive! We are evolving together, with every generation it just gets better and better. My biology teacher in school always said everything we come up with, we saw in nature first, nothing is original. I still wonder about that... he used a parachute as an example of a dandelion that day.

"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. . . . We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Spirit. This Spirit is the matrix of all matter."
