The only way we differ from the rest of the Phenomenal Reality is in our ability to convert the rate of vibrations of energy into diverse phenomenal items. While the rest of flora and fauna continues on the perfect evolutionary path, we provide additional turns and twists to this process.
On occasion, we can regard the almost incredible beauty of wild life. Recently, I had such opportunity. Some days ago, Sir David Attenborough presented us with some miracles of nature. I believe it was "Life in Colour". Although I've seen this event a number of times, the flourishing tail of a male peacock attempting to attract his mate, astonished me once again. In millions of years of human evolution no human genius came close to creating such flabbergasting beauty. Such seeming perfection can only exist in Paradise.
And let us never forget, that the human eye can perceive only a small fragment of the gamut of colours within our reality. The visible spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation is limited for us to wavelengths from about 380 to 750 nanometers. Other are still beyond our ability to detect visually. (1)
Alas, in Paradise, we, the reputed epitomes of the creative process, must remain only spectators. While we can pollute the air by sending rockets to Mars, let alone destroy all life on Earth with nuclear warfare, not even the brightest among us can create, make, or construct a humming bird with all its tiny, yet flamboyant, beauty.
Regrettably, human genius is essentially destructive. Almost nothing that our scientists ever created served to enhance the Universe, no matter how illusory. Only artists try to metamorphose the plethora of rates of vibrations of the Original Creative Energy that surrounds us on all sides. Some of us serve to maintain the status quo, which is also a noble endeavour. Many of us serve to protect that which other (or even "nature") have created, but our contribution to the diversity of the Universe is seldom to enhance it.
And yet, the power dwells within us.
However, as yet, the Omnipresent Creative Consciousness does not indulge in metamorphosing rates of vibrations of Energy only for our benefit. Its nature is to continually add to the beauty of Paradise.
As mentioned, not for our sake.
In the depth of our oceans the flamboyant colours of Spotted Mandarin Goby, the Emperor Angelfish, the Symphysodon, the Lionfish, Nudibranch, Clown Triggerfish, Mantis Shrimp, Moorish Idol... need I go on?
There are dozens more unique wonders... Miracles? After all, we can't make any of them.
There are dozens more, each blending intricacies of colour, and richer than 99% of any paintings produced by man. And... they are alive. They float, move, swim in a kaleidoscope of flamboyant beauty. And... and reproduce, to sustain this beauty, in the depth of ocean where we, humans, were never invited to enter.
Not yet?

Unbeknownst to us, we are still in Paradise. We enjoy our transient becoming in a reality that it took countless billions of years to create. To develop. To enhance. A reality that is a self-perpetuating illusion. That we can enjoy gratuitously. For free. Nature is only greedy for beauty. Never, never for money. We can partake in this endeavor. We can attempt to enhance the Phenomenal Universe as the rest of flora and fauna continues to do.
Even if our contribution lasts for mere fragments of eternity, it does not matter. Only the Present matters. The rest is illusory. It is like enhancing your dream. Our dream. After all, we share it.
We can do it.
It is possible.
After all, we are gods, remember?
