Four billion years ago the planet Earth was molten rock; now it sings opera!

The proper condition of the human is not bovine placidity... the highest degree of tension that can be creatively borne.

The earth was once molten rock and now sings operas.

That is our larger destiny: to allow the Earth to organize in a new way, in a manner impossible all the billions of years prior to humanity

There is nothing more mysterious than destiny - of a person, of our species, of our planet, or of the universe itself.

Each person discovers a field of allurements, the totality of which bears the unique stamp of that person’s personality. Destiny unfolds in the pursuit of individual fascinations and interests... By pursuing your allurements, you help bind the universe together. The unity of the world rests on the pursuit of passion.

Embrace your death. . . . Cherish your awareness of death as a gift from the universe.
