Now, this is quite astonishing if you think about it. What can an apple tell to humans, that anyway would be of any significance? Well... It can't literally tell us anything, but what can we get from it, besides eating it to no longer feel hungry, or to eat it just for the sake of feeling the delicious taste of the apple, but we can certainly learn something extraordinarily valuable for the whole human civilization. What is it? Well...
Alan Watts states that our Earth is peopling in exactly the same way an apple tree apples. Now, I like that statement, and tend to think this way too. But what would we get if we go a bit deeper into this? What we get is a message that every apple wants to tell us, as humans. At least it is great wisdom understood from an apple.
If every person is like an apple, and Earth is like any apple tree...
What's inside an apple? A thing that can make grow apple trees, that can grow apples, that can grow other apple trees (and if goes on forever). Therefore what's inside a person? THEREFORE it's such a thing that, in this theory, makes us capable of doing such incredible things, as creating our own planets, on which humans can grow, that can also create their own planets, with their own people (and it also goes on forever). Now that, if you ask me, is an incredible thing to be understood just from an apple.
The thing inside apples is seeds. Apple trees grow from those. Apples can't exist without apple trees. Apple trees can't exist without seeds. Seeds can't exist without apples. It's all interconnected. So, seeds in apples are significant to the very existence of apples. It's the basis of an apple.
Wow... Okay... So what is that thing within US? What's the basis of US? It's probably also something that we can't exist without, and that proves that everything is interconnected, and nothing can't exist without anything else around/in/on it. Well, the matter of fact is that if any person was to ever wish to find out who he really is, he would have to look most deeply inside him. He would have to find such a thing, that makes him really HIM 100% always. A thing at which he can look and instantly tell that it is really GENUINE him. The matter of fact is... If any person ever was to do that, and then another person, say, also did the same thing... They would find, that the thing, that makes the first person really him is EXACTLY the same thing that makes the second person really him TOO. That "theory" makes me want to scream in the streets. The real, basic, deepest thing that gives one the strongest, most fundamental sense of the word "I" is what makes us all the same thing, that makes us all ONE. So, what every apple can teach people is this incredible thing. You see... If we compare this to an apple...
WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE WE ARE EVEN LITERALLY CAPABLE OF MAKING THE SAME KINDS OF PLANETS ON WHICH WE ACTUALLY GROW UPON. Here's the whole thing:
If we, humans, understand that we are all in reality ONE with the universe, and work together completely... We are capable of anything, even to literally create our own planets. Wow.
