“If the universe were a painting,
for example, the painter would not have first painted darkness, then an
explosion, then a cell, then the joining together of groups of cells into a
simple organism, then that organism’s multiplication into others like it, or
traced a pattern from an amoeba or a paramecium on upward – but he or she would
have instead begun with a panel of light, an underpainting, in which all of the
world’s organisms were included, though not in detail. Then in a creativity that came from the
painting itself the colors would grow rich, the species attain their
delineations, the winds blow and the seas move with the tides.”
(The
Nature of the Psyche,
Session 797)
