Human Beings & Complex Universe:
"case, having beginnings and endings. Brain wants explanations of how the Universe begins and ends. But mind is discovering these eternal principles and deals in eternity instead of temporality and the terminal; it doesn’t have to have a beginning and an end of Universe at all. It just has to find relationships existing between… whatever is the mind part of us, the metaphysical, is this relationship existing, but is not in the parts by themselves–that we are something apart from it, like the tuned part. The physical and the brain part are all that blah that is tuned in. You and I are really the non-tuned-in, the totality, the only capability that can tune in all the different ones. We are on the eternal side.
“So I see that humanity really is immortal, but I see us confused about life. We think of life as being physical. We said ‘animate and inanimate.’ The inanimate was clearly a cold hard stone and the animate was clearly warm soft flesh…the warm soft lily petal, or something like that, if it was animate.”
