"Do you believe that there is ONE (1) central End/Source to all creation?" On what basis could you and I form a belief about "creation" or the absence of same? You don't even know where I lost my watch in Mazatlan. How in the Hell are you going to preach to me about creation? And what is an end/source? There is no end till it is over. And if it was ever over then it is still over. And what are talking about with regard to affection and feeling for people close to you? How does liking others and detesting others relate to evidence that anyone has a "spirit" (or more accurately, that a "spirit" has a body)? Spirit was just a word invented to describe the breath in the dark ages when superstitious people recognized that the breath was essential to life. They also believed in "demons" and such, as is recorded in the bible and in other primitive writings. Diseases like leprosy were punishment for sin and evil (:-)), and were "cured" by strange incantations and rituals to cast out the demons and purify the "spirit"...<ggg> And if nothing else worked, at least the priest did not go hungry. So on what basis do you talk about creation or spirits? A dream? A book? And if about half (I forget the exact number) of fertilized eggs are spontaneously aborted..how does that fit into your imaginings of soul creation and so forth? If everything is ONE then you are ONE. Swim to the sea, grasshopper and relax. Why waste time calculating 50,000 primes when they are all ONE. Have a glass of wine, visit a cat-house--be creative.
