"Humans tonight will watch the Milky Way galaxy not only with eyes, but also with radio telescopes, satellites, and computer-guided telescopes, with minds trained by the intricate theories of the composition, structure, and dynamic evolution of matter." p45
"For after such long centuries of inquiry, we find the universe developed over fifteen billion years, and that the eye that searches the Milky Way galaxy is itself an eye shaped by the Milky Way. The mind that searches for contact with the Milky Way is the very mind of the Milky Way in search of its inner depths." p45
"The Universe Story" by Brian Swimme & Thomas Berry
The cosmos may be glimpsed as a living sentient being, probably beyond comprehension in its totality by a human mind. Intelligence of the highest order is present wherever we look, feel, smell, touch, hear or sense. We could look at our own solar system as a chance happenstance or we can see it as an engineering feat of the greatest magnitude imaginable. Similarly a flower or a bird in flight.
Every searcher is searching for contact with the primal source. Every meditator with every breath is attempting to contact that source. Every actor hopes that the source will flow through them when they are on stage or in front of the camera. The artist too is attempting to contact the source so that some fragment of the evolving universe may manifest itself through him or her.
