“It is not birth, marriage, or death, but gastrulation
which is the most important time in your life.”
Louis Wolpert

Ibn Tufail
“وأما الذين زعموا أنه تولد من الأرض فإنهم قالوا إن بطناً من أرض تلك الجزيرة
تخمرت فيه طينه على مر السنين والأعوام حتى امتزج فيها الحار بالبارد والرطب باليابس
امتزاج تكافؤ وتعادل في القوى.
وكانت هذه الطينة المتخمرة كبيرة جداً وكان بعضها يفضل بعضاً في اعتدال المزاج
والتهيؤ وكان الوسط منها أعدل ما فيها وأتمه مشابهة بمزاج الإنسان، فتمخضت تلك
الطينة وحدث فيها شبه نفاخات الغليان لشدة لزوجتها، وحدث في الوسط منها لزوجة
ونفاخة صغيرة جداً منقسمة بقسمين بينها حجاب رقيق ممتلئة بجسم لطيف هوائي
في غاية من الاعتدال اللائق به فتعلق به عند ذلك الروح الذي هو من أمر الله تعالى
وتشبث به تشبثاً يعسر انفصاله عنه عند الحس وعند العقل إذ قد تبين أن هذا الروح
دائم الفيضان من عند الله عز وجل وأنه بمنزلة نور الشمس الذي هو دائم الفيضان
على العالم، فمن الأجسام ما لا يستضيء به وهو الهواء الشفاف جداً ومنها ما يستضيء
به بعض الاستضاءة وهي الأجسام الكثيفة غير الصقيلة وهذه تختلف في قبول الضياء
وتختلف بحسب ذلك ألوانها ومنها ما يستضيء به غاية الاستضاءة وهي الأجسام الصقيلة
كالمرآة ونحوها، فإذا كانت هذه المرآة مقعرة على شكل مخصوص حدث فيها النار لإفراط
الضياء.
الذي هو الروح الذي هو من أمر الله تعالى فياض أبداً على جميع الموجودات فمنها ما
لا يظهر أثره فيه أعدم الاستعداد وهي الجمادات التي لا حياة لها وهذه بمنزلة الهواء في
المثال المتقدم ومنها ما يظهر أثره فيه وهي أنواع النبات بحسب استعداداتها وهذه بمنزلة
الأجسام الكثيفة في المثال المتقدم ومنها ما يظهر أثره فيه ظهوراً كثيراً وهي الأجسام
الصقيلة في المثال ومن هذه الأجسام الصقيلة ما يزيد على شدة قبوله لضياء الشمس أنه
يحكي صورة الشمس ومثالها”
ابن طفيل
