And what's so odd about that is I remember reading in the old Gnosis Magazine of a belief from Jewish mystics. That is, everything, from the tiniest particle of matter to the largest and most complex, has the "spark" of the Divine in it. It has to, if it was created by Divine energy or process. To me, that means everywhere is a "holy place". It's all been touched by the Divine and equal to all other particles with that spark. Nothing can be more equal than anything else 
I seem to recall some of the out of body practitioners I've read speaking of making contact with inanimate matter. Of course, Carlos Castaneda had his "inorganic beings" in "The Art of Dreaming". There's really no reason why this can't be, so long as Spirit is real and does indeed exist in everything
