Thinking:
"that I cannot get on without food or air, I cannot get on without the balance going on between vegetation and mammals-- it is perfectly clear to me I could not. I could not get on without anything in Universe that is in Universe. It’s a very complex and beautiful piece of design there, and the fact that I wake up and go to sleep, that people are born and die, that we get our information in packages and we articulate in packages-- no continuum at all about it-- so, the fact that I’m given the capability to think is very extraordinary. And to remember. And to be able to formulate. To take advantage of earlier experience. To have a mind and be able to think of alternate ways of carrying on which other species don’t have.
“So I said, 'I think what I’m going to do is to accept the wisdom and brilliance of the design of the Universe itself which is a priori to me, in which design it is apparently clearly designed that I would have limitation… And all these people who sit, then, trying to use the thinking thing to break through limits of thinking that are not permitted-- and waste their thinking capability trying to think about ways not allowed”
