Automation of Metabolic and Regenerative Processes:
“To such an extent does man believe in man’s importance that he doesn’t realize that he is himself almost completely automated, that he is subconsciously coordinated and motivated and also part of an immensely evolving totally new era gestation process to be realized in magnitude beyond man’s conception. Nobody knows how his breakfast is being processed into gland-stored energies. He cuts his hand and it heals. He does not know how. His hair grows, or doesn’t grow, and he knows not how or why. We go from seven pounds to 170 so relatively slowly we don’t think of this as evolutionary. But between World Wars I and II American men unexpectedly increased their height by three inches. Up to and including my father’s life, the average distance covered by man in his lifetime was 50,000 miles. In my lifetime, thus far, I have covered three million miles, a 100-fold increase. Astronauts knock off that distance in three days flight. I don’t think we tend to accredit at all the fact that we might go on to have some other form of living in the Universe.”
