The Universe is Alive

The Universe, and everything in it is alive.

There is no logical place to draw a line between "living" and "not living."  How would you start?

It's alive if it breathes.

Well, how about plants?  Amoeba?

It's alive if it can reproduce.

Well, mules (and some other hybrids) can't reproduce, yet they breathe.

It's alive if it has awareness.

Well, according to the Einstein-Rosen-Polodsky (EPR) paradox, elementary particles (protons, electrons and suchlike) are aware of the state of other elementary particles.  Candace Pert (see books post) says that the very molecules in our bodies respond to our emotional states.

There simply is no place to draw your line in the sand and say that everything on this side is alive and everything on that side is not.

Either everything is alive, or nothing is.  I know that I am alive.  Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that everything is alive.

All life is sacred.  If everything is alive, and all life is sacred, then everything is sacred.  Or nothing is.

Everything is alive and everything is sacred.  Align yourself with that.
