Center of all centers, core of cores,
almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet--
all this universe, to the furthest stars
all beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit.

Now you feel how nothing clings to you;
your vast shell reaches into endless space,
and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow.
Illuminated in your infinite peace,

a billion stars go spinning through the night,
blazing high above your head.
But in you is the presence that
will be, when all the stars are dead.

Rilke Maria Rainer

Yo,

Looks like we are the universe. There can be nothing more. What else could human beings want?

Enlightenment will illuminate the consciousness of scientists as they become more aware
of the reality of an intelligent universe.
