You have complete domain over more individual lives inside your body than any religiously derived deity could hope to.

Consciousness feels singular, yet each of us is a colony of some thirty trillion cells, each one alive, each one answering to a whole it will never perceive.

The gods people have prayed to for millennia were imagined watching over multitudes far smaller than the one we govern without thinking. Oneness is not a distant abstraction here; it is the literal fact of a single organism made of countless lives. When we look at ourselves as the world our cells inhabit, do the old ideas of scale and divinity start to look like descriptions of what we already are?
