As I relax deeper, I sense the unbroken continuity between what I used to call “inside” and “outside.” The thoughts and feelings within me ripple out as subtle waves, meeting the texture of reality, becoming colors, sounds, and forms. Likewise, the world “out there”—the sunlight on my skin, the breeze, the symphony of living things—moves through me, becomes the flow of breath and heartbeat, becomes the raw material of imagination. There is only exchange, only relationship. Each moment is an act of creative becoming, mutual and mysterious.

I begin to sense the sheer abundance of this participation. There is nothing that is not part of this self-creating dance. Sorrow and joy, struggle and peace, all emerge from the same wellspring. Even confusion or pain are invitations to deeper understanding, ways the universe explores its own possibilities, ways that “I” explore mine. In this light, meaning is not imposed from above or discovered from below. Meaning is made in the meeting, in the merging, in the never-ending give-and-take.

There is gratitude here, and a kind of wonder. Not the wonder of a spectator, but the wonder of being a living question, a luminous uncertainty, a possibility in motion. I am not merely the observer of the universe’s creativity, nor its passive recipient. I am the universe, awake and dreaming itself, remaking itself, loving itself through every eye, every hand, every heart—including this one.

And as I open my eyes, I sense that this, too, is part of the dance: the closing and the opening, the remembering and forgetting, the pulse of creation flowing, always, as me and as everything.

You didn't even read it, as shown by your comments.

>Reads like an obituary written by the universe itself

that would be Ode to the Unfolding, in this pic:

Which is from the PDF you didn't read.

You also didn't read about metaphysical calculus, also from the PDF: >>40702553

Common Atheistic / secular morality in the present is much more naturalistic than common Atheistic metaphysics. The 60's environmentalist movement and the development of ecology (and the concept of ecosystem) was a big part of this. This movement was catalyzed by Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring which documented the environmental harm caused by DDT. The growth of this ecological awareness also brought awareness that humans are inextricable from the environment, and that the environment is an interdependent "web of life." This put pressure on politicians to talk about political affairs in terms of interdependence and implement policies that respond to such realities.

The space race and the pictures of video of the Earth as a whole also helped to consciously reinforce the idea of the world as an interdependent whole. Some Astronauts who viewed this directly reported an "Overview Effect:"

>“Something happens to you out there,” Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has said. “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it.”

>Mitchell described this emotion as “interconnected euphoria” and several other astronauts have reported similar feelings of awe.

What you see in this picture is an manifestation of the divine.
And this manifestation is a tapestry of co-creators. The water sculpts the land, the plant roots resist erosion and retain the land. A vast variety of different lives and nonliving entities converges to create a mutual thriving and incredible work of art.
Every corner of the universe blossoms with immeasurable creativity!

The universe.
Everything.
As much of it as deeply as I can love.
Which so far is quite a lot compared to some.
But infinitesimal compared to everything.

Dare you ask how an "atheist" dances with joy every day while you don't?
