“Through the heart of His lover the Beloved can then enter and influence His creation. It is in this sense that His lovers are points of light; places where He can unfold the hidden purpose of His creation. The deepest joy of the mystic is that he can participate in this work. The Sufi sees the purpose of creation expressed in the hadîth qudsî: “I was a hidden treasure and I wanted to be known, so I created the world.” The Beloved awakens the lover so that He can use the lover’s eyes to see Himself—“I created perception in thee only that therein I might become the object of My perception.” Through the eyes of the lover the Beloved can see Himself reflected in His creation. (p. 99)”

More simply stated, animals that elicit human empathetic responses, will be examined in a religious context.
So, starting with cats, dogs and ultimately other primates, as moral experiments of imagination, we can perhaps understand differing cognitive processes that could have shaped our religious purview. It might be even stated that they should shape our opinion, especially in a reevaluation of the spiritual present and coming future. When this happens, it will help humanity create a unique pristine outlook on its religious traditions.”

“Through the Mud
(from the book Blue Bridge)
A line of robots,
We approach a wall of mud,
Some of us carrying flowers.
The others laugh
Bit when we enter that wall
It is the flowers
That will make us an ark
To carry us on through the darkness,
Sailing through
With our symbols the only light
Until we fly
Out over the fields
On the other side of midnight
And all our wires
And bits of metal fall off.-
And our souls are bright again,
So new and light
They shoot up –
Up to plant our brilliant flowers
Like stars
In the face of heaven.”

We are not trying to convert people, but we believe in our music and like to play it in front of other people, hoping that we can get them as excited as we are about our music.”
