I Created This Myself

We humans have a habit of saying: “I created this myself.”

Even those who openly admit that during the creative process they feel a certain higher power guiding them—even they put their own human name on the result.

Even the Periodic Table bears Mendeleev’s name, although he clearly stated that it came to him in a dream.

That’s just how we tend to oversimplify our speech 🤷‍♂️

Can you imagine Mendeleev bringing the table of chemical elements to a scientific council and saying:

Behold, people! God, in His mercy, has bestowed this table upon us! He, the Almighty, sent His Angel into my dream, who showed and explained its structure to me. (To be fair… I didn’t manage to remember all the cells… well, maybe I’ll remember and fill them in later…)
