Whether this is true or false, an identical ‘essence’ is evident in a group of the same kind where every entity still remains different and individual, taking its final form only when fused with the conditions in which it exists. It is from this process of physical materialization that uniqueness and individuality are born.
If it were possible to design this ‘essence’, which would then form the basis for the creation of an unlimited number of possible end results, would that than READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY »
