  • I like so much this idea and the way that you put it on video =)
    Like was say Francisco Varela (from Autopoiesis theory) if the childrens learn Empathy
    since early, the life will be good in many ways...

  • This is probably the most beautiful, intelligent and enlightning piece of visual art I have ever seen in the 62 years of my life. As an old hippie, it brought tears in my eyes. Thank you so much!

  • But decendants of Adam may have conceived with decendants of Eve "creating" this model.
    Also, creationist usually fall within a camp that takes Biblical scripture literally. They often believe that a humanoid being "created" the universe. There are some who study Kabbalah at a higher level that know that that isn't what creation is.

    Also, those that have the privilage of learning from the writings of Rabbi Yehuda Halevi Ashlag - and can study even the basic ideas of Kabbalah through this late and great individual - will notice the sameness of this information from Jeremy Rifkin. What is astonishing is that Rav Ashlag didn't have MRI data nor the discovery of DNA at the time that he wrote down his thoughts.

  • Absolutely incredible!
