“If you’re looking for inspiration, beauty, magic, love or wonder ... just look at the world around you - it’s brimming with stories waiting to be told, moments that take your breath away, and connections that remind us of what it means to be alive.”

“There are no doubt brain-states associated with every experience, transcendent or mundane; why, then, should the trivial truth that mystical or contemplative insight is correlated with a distinctive set of neural activities be taken as evidence that such insight is merely a psychological state, without a real object? By that logic, the reality that there’s a brain-state associated with hearing a performance of Bach means that I can’t believe in the objective reality of that music. Whatever the case may be, I know this: to imagine that a “science of mind”—a science of irreducible first-person experience—is possible in terms purely of the third-person facts of neurophysiology, without reference to what mental interiority discloses to itself about itself, is worse than folly. The only “science of mind” that might actually reveal the intrinsic nature of the mental would be something like the contemplative disciplines proper to the great mystical traditions of the world’s religions. There can be no real science of mind that’s not, to put it bluntly, a spiritual science.”

“In contrast to a journalistic appropriation, however, scientists will endeavour to reveal the principles and building blocks of their own construction and make them comprehensible. They will also endeavour to take into account all available details to such an extent that they do not contradict their image, in the words of the philosopher Karl Popper, to test the ‘truth similarity’ of a theory [K. Popper, Objective Knowledge. An Evolutionary Approach]. If they succeed in doing this, some will grant the result the quality of a “re-construction” of past reality and thus raise it to an “objective” level. In the vast majority of cases, however, this is not the only possible view, not even the most probable in the mathematical sense, because historical facts are rarely calculable, but a plausible one, i.e. a treatment of the problem that is appropriate to it and makes a recognisable contribution to its understanding [E. von Glasersfeld, An Introduction to Radical Constructivism]. One of the most important tasks of a degree programme is to learn to allow this plurality of perspectives without confusing it with arbitrariness.”

“Scientists who oppose evolution ask: What further evidence is needed to prove that evolution and the spontaneous origin of life is just a story? Since the 1950s, universities from around the world have performed thousands of experiments and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to produce life from non-life. Despite large degrees of scientific intervention and use of sophisticated laboratory equipment, the work thus far has produced nonfunctional fragments of DNA, proteinoids (but not proteins), and a poisonous mixture of amino acids. Not one living organism has been formed in the laboratory using a mixture of chemicals. If the top scientists from around the world cannot demonstrate that life formed spontaneously, then the theory of evolution is, for all practical purposes, dead.”

“Who are you, if not the morning before the first dawn? If not the river that flows without needing a name? Your hands hold no borders. Your heart chants no flags. You belong to the sky and the soil, to the sorrow of stones and the laughter of trees.”
