It is not greater than them, as they all are part of the same system and can only be understood through it (to have a spiritual experience, I do it in my embodied version as a human and I cannot know for sure if there is anything else and how that is). Our joy while dealing with other people is when we experience something of a shared interest together. All I care about is to develop the tools that let me cut through all the noise of our civilisation to find the subtle qualities of the world: they are always there, but we are too busy to pay attention to them; perhaps too noisy and too full of ourselves to listen to the crickets.
