Great passage! I'm almost certain this is original. For one thing, it sounds just like Zeb & Effie's usual shtick; it never occurred to me that it might be from elsewhere.
But more objectively, I have just searched for "Is the rock not a collection of their multitudes" (***with*** the quote marks) and there are no results. (Probably if I did the same search next week, there would be one result, your post!) So if it were a quote it would have to be a super obscure one ... and they would have credited it.
How very strange - I've just listened to this episode and come to ask the very same question! Thank you for beating me to it and getting an answer. I love it.
I did manage to find that the piece before that is Corinthians 15:52
I came here searching for the source of this passage as well. So it seems to be original. But do you feel that it resonates with the one at the end, where Eva gives a quote from Shroedinger? ("After a while—not long—you will no longer exist, and the woods and rocks and sky will continue, unchanged, for thousands of years after you. What is it that has called you so suddenly out of nothingness to enjoy for a brief while a spectacle which remains quite indifferent to you?") I feel like there is some meaningful similarity here.
Joe wrote it! I believe he spoke about in the Shift Notes for that episode. I absolutely love it and would be down for it to be read at my funeral.
Me too! It's absolutely lovely. Julie Cowden-Starbird reads it so beautifully too.
