Humans enter this world and awaken to a simple truth: We must find our story with this great epic of being.

If you let hydrogen gas alone for 13 billion years it will become giraffes, rose bushes and humans.

By pursuing your allurements, you help bind the universe together. The unity of the world rests on the pursuit of passion.

The universe is an inexhaustible celebration of ultimate mystery!

This is the greatest discovery of the scientific enterprise: You take hydrogen gas, and you leave it alone, and it turns into rosebuds, giraffes and humans.

Each being in the universe yearns for the free energy necessary for survival and development. Each existence resists extinction. The consequent history of violence in the universe is as inevitable as the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun.

The new cosmic story emerging into human awareness overwhelms all previous conceptions of the universe for the simple reason that it draws them all into its comprehensive fullness. Who can learn what this means and remain calm?
