Compare:

John 15:5
New International Version
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

With;

Dao de Jing, ch. 34 

The great Tao flows everywhere,
both to the left and to the right,
It loves and nourishes all things,
but does not lord it over them.

And when merits are accomplished,
it lays no claim to them.

My thoughts :
The operation of the Spirit is the cause of material happenings. The symbolic precedes the material. Material things are rational things - all things are divided from things. Being and nonbeing are only differentiated by the rational mind. The rational mind holds things in place by way of linguistic objects. The map is not the territory ; the real world is wiggly. 

Condensed into something actionable : expand. Human expansion is expansion of the rational, thus the expansion of logos, thus we are conduits of spirit. Pour it into everything. Build. Multiply. Go to the stars. Grow that vine everywhere.

The thing stopping growth is nihilism. Don't give it any ground.

No idea if this is relevant. I forgot what you said and amethyst doesn't let me look.
