It is just far away enough from the primal fire that yes it is an emergence, an engineering has taken place. I look at gardens of flowers, someone has designed the garden and has used the beauty of flowering plants in a quantity where the garden has been created (or emerged). You could say someone's creativity is involved. Again, I look at gardens of flowers and lots of them seem to beckon to ancient times; where today's garden is not much different than that of an ancient Roman garden. The garden concept is transplantable through time and would not be out of place anywhere. Gardens state that creation is nearby and you would be right to say that the gardens are not the exact point of the creation. Gardens like the single flower are emergent and they are direct mythologies of creation. So we look at beauty, design as an attractor but maybe we lost the answer when it is right in front of us all along. The honeybee is attracted to the flower (for the comfort of food and well being of the hive). Is the honeybee not close to creation but held to design? Is not every point of space endowed with the beginning of creation. The emergence covers the points of space in a friendlier environment and veils the creation very well. The attractor for consciousness and action is design and not sensory depriving chaos.Mark A. Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17778645909479260869noreply@blogger.com
