“If we could see the fullness of our tomorrows, how many of us would take desperate action to change the future? What if our far seeing showed us the loss of our homes, our families, our very lives, and to save it all we would need only to barter away our most precious souls. Who among us would give up what we cannot see for what we can hold in our hands? I believe many of us would peel ourselves away from our immortal selves as easily as the skin from a boiled plum if it meant we could remain on the earth for a while, our bellies full and our beds warm and safe at night.”

“The eternal order is a mathematical order, not a religious order, yet mathematics defends what religious people traditionally believe in: an afterlife, a paradise, a coming together and reunion of souls (you re-encounter everyone you ever loved). The concept of the soul is bound up with eternal and temporal considerations, with mind and matter, with science and mathematics. You cannot understand reality unless you can understand what your soul is, yet the soul is the least understood and most mysterious thing there has ever been. Only mathematics reveals its secrets, yet mathematics is the most feared and hated subject on earth, and commonly not even regarded as real, just as the soul is often dismissed as unreal. What a world!”
