“There is a spiritual capacity in carbon as there is a carbon component functioning in our highest spiritual experience. If some scientists consider that all this is merely a material process, then what they call matter, I call mind, soul, spirit, or consciousness.

Most often, perhaps, they use the expression that some of the natural forms they encounter seem to be "telling them something."”
