Survival Sequence: Love:
“I would like just to ask you to think a little about how much you take for granted about your own physical being. People talk about technology as something formidable, whereas Universe is nothing but technology. If you stand in front of the mirror and stick your tongue way out, and take a good look at it. . . If a salesman cam along and said ‘I’d like to sell you one of those,’ and stuck his own tongue out, I don’t think you’d buy it. In order to be able to regenerate man has also to have a liver, and a kidney, and a stomach, and a heart. If you went to a supermarket and saw kidneys, and stomachs, and hearts hanging up, I don’t think you’d buy yourself. It is an extraordinary matter-- in order to be able to bring about this complex technology of becoming reproductive and procreative. It would be very difficult to think of a liver hanging up there falling in love with another liver. So nature developed this fantastically beautiful packaging and put all these things out of sight. And it developed such coordination that the whole thing is operating subconsciously with your brain having a quadrillion times a quadrillion atoms in superb coordination by which you and I can communicate at this extraordinary moment.”
