Above All, Trust In The Slow Work

This Fundamental Discovery That All Bodies Owe Their Origin To Arrangements Of Single Initial Corpuscular Type Is The Beacon That Lights The History Of The Universe To Our Eyes. In Its Own Way, Matter Obeyed From The Beginning That Great Law Of Biology To Which We Shall Have To Recur Time And Time Again, The Law Of "complexification."

My Starting Point Is The Fundamental Initial Fact That Each One Of Us Is Perforce Linked By All The Material Organic And Psychic Strands Of His Being To All That Surrounds Him. . . . If We Look Far Enough Back In The Depths Of Time, The Disordered Anthill Of Living Beings Suddenly, For An Informed Observer, Arranges Itself In Long Files That Make Their Way By Various Paths Towards Greater Consciousness.

So Many Things Which Once Had Distressed Or Revolted Him — The Speeches And Pronouncements Of The Learned, Their Assertions And Their Prohibitions, Their Refusal To Allow The Universe To Move — All Seemed To Him Now Merely Ridiculous, Non-existent, Compared With The Majestic Reality, The Flood Of Energy, Which Now Revealed Itself To Him: Omnipresent, Unalterable In Its Truth, Relentless In Its Development, Untouchable In Its Serenity, Maternal And Unfailing In Its Protectiveness.

In The Final Analysis, The Questions Of Why Bad Things Happen To Good People Transmutes Itself Into Some Very Different Questions, No Longer Asking Why Something Happened, But Asking How We Will Respond, What We Intend To Do Now That It Happened.

When Humans Truly Discover The Power Of Love, It Will Prove More Important Than The Harnessing Of Fire.
