First of all, the Universe is complex beyond the human power of imagination. It's varied and many-leveled, with seed forms literally in-form-ing subsequent levels as they unfold, and their "experiences" in turn modify the "higher" or more essential levels. This is true at all levels, so experience affects the formation of the embryo's and infant's nervous system. There's a rich interplay between nature and nurture, individual and social network, individual and culture (language, history, how one rests, what one finds tasty or disgusting, etc.), collectives and environment, and so forth.

The outer layers give energy and life to what we imagine to be "reality," but "it" is not final, "given," ultimate. We don't just adjust to reality, we individually and collectively co-create it, far more than was believed in the past---and more than what most folks believe today.

Transdimensionality

Only recently are people beginning to consider that there well might "be" dimensions beyond the 3-D of space, plus time. Mind dimensions also operate in the cosmos, and at some levels what is mind and what is matter is not clearly divided. In this picture, which is just two dimensions, there's a hint of three dimensions and a hint of the quality of more dimensions penetrating and informing those three. As in the book "Flatland," what if what we call reality in three dimensions were being penetrated with a vastly more complex being? If it were 3-D ovoid, it would appear first as a dot in a 2-D surface it was traveling through, then grow, then shrink and disappear, and we flat-landers would call it birth, infancy, growth, elderhood, and death.


So too, all sorts of things have their lives, rise and fall, emergence and disappearance. This picture tries to hint at that emergent process. This is why at least one aspect of God is the Becoming Everything. It's a creative process and responsive to how you co-create it.
