You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.

Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.

Instead of standing on the shore and proving to ourselves that the ocean cannot carry us, let us venture on its waters just to see.

We have reached a crossroads in human evolution where the only road which leads forward is towards a common passion. . . To continue to place our hopes in a social order achieved by external violence would simply amount to our giving up all hope of carrying the Spirit of the Earth to its limits.

That there is an evolution of one sort or another is now common ground among scientists. Whether or not that evolution is directed is another question.

A universal love is not only psychologically possible; it is the only complete and final way in which we are able to love.

Your creatures can come into being only, like shoot from stem, as part of an endlessly renewed process of evolution.
