“And so must learn to love with our mouths and voices, as well as with our eyes, flesh, heart, brains, and with everything we have, right down to our toenails. There is not anything about us that cannot love, and that is not called to love, and that is not destined to be turned, conformed, and reduced to pure love. It ...is the priceless deposit left by the burning away of selfishness.”

“Just because you cannot see aliveness in a rock does not mean the rock doesn’t have it. The rock is made of atoms. Inside each atom is a furious realm of activity with its neutrons and protons forming a nucleus around which electrons orbit at speeds that can travel around the earth in a little over 18 seconds.”

“Space is already fully expanded without boundaries. To imagine otherwise is the same kind of thinking as the concept humans used to have that the world was flat and that if we reached the edge of the world, we would fall off.”

“Scientists are looking for a substance to fill all of space, a substance that will permit light to travel as a wave, and a substance that permits gravity to operate between masses. Ether does all that and much more but is undetectable without taking into consideration Tao’s consciousness, which is the answer to all the questions.”
