I was just in a redwood forest a couple of days ago. Wednesday, I was there, today is Friday. I was in Muir Woods. Looking with a friend of mine, we were looking at the trees, and you have to strain your neck to see upwards; they're so tall! Then we were looking at a seed of one of the redwood trees that is there, and it is minuscule. How does it all start? It starts from a seed. How much information is in that seed, enough to grow a huge tree? And all you have to add is light and water and a little air, some earth, and you've got a tree. This is given as a metaphor for the whole universe. The universe comes in seed form, then expands into all the forms that we see now. All that's needed is a little attention from the glance of the original source, and then everything else opens from a seed. So, in this way, there are many of the world's phenomena that are mentioned in the ancient wisdom literature, not the least of which is the Bhagavad Gītā, which talks about how to see everything in the world as part of the source, and therefore you're never separated from the source, because you can always meditate on that source.
