COMMENT
The structure and movement of the universe is analogous to the structure and physiology of human beings. As such, human beings are comprised not of the corporeal and the spiritual, but by existence and manifestation. If the universe can be conceived of as a shape, then so can human beings. Furthermore, human beings are equal to all living things, and to minerals, which exist on earth. Plants, animals, and human beings--and even things made by human beings--are all on the same level. If we take a close, detailed look at their mutual relationship of resemblance, the world becomes comprehensible. That ideal is what lies at the root of this piece.

It is this very ideal that makes it possible for things in nature, and also artificial objects, to become human. Through this unencumbered world view that encompasses multiple worlds which intermingle with one another, human beings can once again be united with the universe.
