About
The human ape, grounded and evolving from a single cell blob in a sea of primordial mud, pushes up towards the light, climbing the ladder of an elongated spine, reaching for the stars, beholds the glory and terror of its own existence, begins to comprehend its connection to everything, slowly realizing itself as nothing less than the entirety of existence, the eternal "I AM" looking through its own eyes, mumbling its own name, as its understanding expands into the entire cosmos. OM MANI PADME HUM
