But you're starting at the very end of the story where the trillions of chemical trials have led to one successive state of self organization to higher complexity to the next, start with a human embryo or infant for instance & work up. But the essence is that matter even on the molecular level tends to self organize , at least on a warm planet that's not a closed system, ie: energy from the Solar body and heat from the core, volcano, lightning , shifting land masses, meteors, etc etc.
If you wish to start at the end with language & the symbols an incredibly complex & organized system uses to communicate ideas , like you & me, then it seems impossibly hard to understand. But also you can find the simplest metaphors to describe most of our propensities & expressions, the complex is often driven by very simple understandable state of basic material needs in changing conditions of different states of life. An much has to do with our positioning in the system too, just like one part of your brain is always concerned with making constant reads resulting in simple but extremely necessary spatial awareness & balance.
And then you wouldn't be finding terms & ideas being used like "fruitful" or "abundant life" or "constancy" and many of the other themes found in the essence expressed in so many of the parables. I have always like the "teach a man to fish & he can feed himself for life" ! |
