For myself, I have tried to develop a personal spirituality that
allows for living more in communion with this world, this Universe.
It's all we really have. It's a truly fascinating place, a Living System
as our scientists are now beginning to admit. It's a self-organizing
system, containing further systems infinitum within itself. There's
creativity and experimentation and adventure all over the place!
Some philosophers and theologians are beginning to realize
that our Universe includes a suggestive *subjectivity,* hence
mind and consciousness. We humans in this world would seem
the proof. Think upon this, through millennia of evolution *we*
represent all the living organisms (once and now) on this planet.
Through groping, punctuated jumping, whatever, there's been a
steady trajectory. We can trace back our ancestry up from the
earlier forms of humans, from land mammals, from the amphibian,
from marine creatures, indeed right from the amoeba. But it is *we*
who represent the Earth's arrival into self-consciousness! As
Teilhard de Chardin once expressed: "the cell has become
someone!"
We have become Consciousness Points in this wondrous creation.
