“My favorite book in life is 'A Wrinkle In Time,' which I read before high school. It was my first introduction into the meeting of science and spirit and the universe and big thoughts and all of those interesting New Age-y concepts.

“Science offers the boldest metaphysics of the age. It is a thoroughly human construct, driven by the faith that if we dream, press to discover, explain, and dream again, thereby plunging repeatedly into new terrain, the world will somehow come clearer and we will grasp the true strangeness of the universe. And the strangeness will all prove to be connected, and make sense.” IfsWorldHumansDreamAgeFaithUniverseOffersProvePressesConnectedDrivenMake SenseMetaphysicsConstructsStrangenessTerrain Author:E. O.

“I think we have a free will, and at the same moment we don't. We have to live with that. It doesn't make sense intellectually, but that's because our intellect is always trying to come up with a logical, rational explanation for things. To do that, it puts labels on things. But once you label something, you've got twoness. You've got the label, and you've got what you're labeling. And there is only oneness in the universe, even though we artificially believe in twoness.” ThinkingTryingBelieveMomentsUniverseCome UpIntellectRationalOnenessLabelsMake SenseExplanationThings To DoLogicalFree WillAlways TryingLabeling Author:Wayne Dyer
