For under $1,000, a personal 3-D printer is now available. It allows designs to be built on a computer and printed-out in three dimensions relatively inexpensively and by near beginners.A set of chessmen of great inventors, a model infantry squad of blood thirsty politicians or line of guru altar pieces are just a few clicks away ;)
It's only been the last generation that had good personal 2-D laser printing, prior to that it was largely a world of clunky typewriters, nasty photocopies or printing shops rubbing their hands over the money they were about to make.
The 3-D printer is deeply symbolic, not only for the creativity that it unleashes -- freedom from decades of training in traditional sculpting/modeling and also for the open-source, collaborative nature of that modeling and the company itself.
Creation to realization in all fields is becoming much more of a short step, without the tedious years of apprenticeship, suggesting implicitly the spiritual nature of this world with God willing the various worlds into existence and the abilities of great masters, those who have cultivated Siddhis and an everyday possibility of Treta Yuga.
