Nature – Description from Machaelle Small Wright’s Garden Book 1
- In the larger universe and beyond, on its many levels and dimensions, there are a number of groups of consciousness that, although equal in importance, are quite different in expression and function.
Together, they make up the full expression of the larger, total life picture. No one piece, no one expression, can be missing or the larger life picture on all its levels and dimensions will cease to exist. One such consciousness has been universally termed “nature”. Because of what we are saying about the larger picture not existing without all of its parts, you may assume that nature exists as both a reality and a consciousness on all dimensions and all levels. It cannot be excluded. 
Zen of Life-Tom Jackson, Kayenta
Each group of consciousness has an area of expertise. As we said, all groups are equal in importance but express and function differently from one another. These different expressions and functions are vital to the overall balance of reality. A truly symbiotic relationship exists among the groups and is based on balance – that is, universal balance. The human soul-oriented dynamic is evolution in scope and function. Nature is a massive, intelligent consciousness group that expresses and functions within the many areas of involution, that is, moving soul-oriented consciousness into any direction or level of form.
Nature is the conscious reality that supplies order, organization and life vitality for this shift. Nature is the consciousness that is, for your working understanding, intimately linked with form. Nature is the consciousness that comprises all form on all levels and dimensions. It is form’s order, organization and life vitality. Nature is first and foremost a consciousness of equal importance with all other groups of consciousness in the largest scheme of reality. It expresses and functions uniquely in that it comprises all form on all levels and dimensions is responsible for creates all of form’s orders, organization and life vitality.
A Garden
A garden is not natural. It is man-made, You don’t go out in the world and run across a free-growing vegetable garden containing cabbage, beans, tomatoes, snap peas and watermelon. We invented gardens. We got tired of all that hunting and foraging and decided to centralize our food supply. So we collected seed from various plants growing in the world and planted the seed in one, easy-to-access location. Thus, we created something that did not previously exist.
This project is sometimes referred to as a “soil-less garden” which is no different than a garden. It utilizes all the same descriptions in the co-creative process. Rather than various plants and seeds being planted in one location, we are bringing together various ideas, materials, shapes, and colors and the co-creative process is bringing order, organization and life vitality to them under the project name of the TAO Metaversity where they did not previously exist.
This TAO Metaversity project is sacred architecture
which is the form* of sacred it will manifest in. The students are the architects, vehicles, seers, channels, students of the sacred that will bring forth the form with which this TAO Metaversity will be manifest. Their relationship to this project, which will be referred to as a “soil-less garden” throughout this text, helps to determine its balance and ease with which it will be manifested. These students of the sacred are working in service with an intelligence in a co-creative partnership. The Co-Creative architect/scientist acknowledges that there is an inherent intelligence within all of nature*, it builds a communication bridge that allows him/her to access that intelligence, and then asks nature directly to explain and provide experiential insight to him/her so that he/she may understand “from the horses’ mouth”, (sort of speak) how something works. This can be acknowledged as intuition, an inner knowing or an innerdimensional conversation. If these students understand where and with whom these conversations come from, they are experiencing the TAO Metaversity at a level of “being”.

These conversations are accessed consciously or unconsciously depending on the student. They can experience this relationship when they are aware of a co-creative partnership. They become aware of their part in the co-creative process. They can recognize this co-creative partnership as a conversation they have with the universe, God, source, nature or whatever energy they may access through their own practice(s). That they recognize this co-creative partnership is most important. I would go as far as to suggest this be implemented into the project’s curriculum. It’s important to begin each class, each time, each thought, each project by acknowledging first of all that this is a co-creative conversation. This can be done through meditation, prayer, or a number of other processes that invite that additional intelligence in the project to “show itself”.
To “show itself” implies, that in the unseen, the project is present already. This is what we are addressing in the sacred, the unseen relationship that is present when we are present in union with source, God, energy, etc.
