“Our main source of psychic energy in the future will depend on our ability to understand this symbol of evolution in an acceptable context of interpretation. Only in the context of an emergent universe will the human project come to an integral understanding of itself.

We need to experience the sequence of evolutionary transformations as moments of grace, and also as celebration moments in our new experience of the sacred.”
