“We do not realize how deeply our starting assumptions affect the way we go about looking for and interpreting the data we collect. We should recognize that nonhuman organisms need not meet every new definition of human language, tool use, mind, or consciousness in order to have versions of their own that are worthy of serious study. We have set ourselves too much apart, grasping for definitions that will distinguish man from all other life on the planet. We must rejoin the great stream of life from whence we arose and strive to see within it the seeds of all we are and all we may become.”

The need to build the myth of an ex nihilo creation of modern science gave rise to much impassioned rhetoric.”

He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.”

Go beyond, go back to the source, go to the self that is the same whatever happens.”
