“The optimization of cosmic darkness and of Earth's location within the dark universe that sacrifices neither the material needs of human beings nor their capacity to gain knowledge about the universe reflects masterful engineering at a level far beyond human capability- and even imagination.

Then, as you love and accept yourself, your inner light will shine outward to bless and heal your fellow human beings.”
