The Plurality That We Perceive Is Only An Appearance; It Is Not Real. Vedantic Philosophy... Has Sought To Clarify It By A Number Of Analogies, One Of The Most Attractive Being The Many-faceted Crystal Which, While Showing Hundreds Of Little Pictures Of What Is In Reality A Single Existent Object, Does Not Really Multiply That Object.

[a Living Organism] ... Feeds Upon Negative Entropy ... Thus The Device By Which An Organism Maintains Itself Stationary At A Fairly High Level Of Orderliness (= Fairly Low Level Of Entropy) Really Consists In Continually Sucking Orderliness From Its Environment.

I Belong To Those Theoreticians Who Know By Direct Observation What It Means To Make A Measurement. Methinks It Were Better If There Were More Of Them.

We Do Not Belong To This Material World That Science Constructs For Us. We Are Not In It; We Are Outside. We Are Only Spectators. The Reason Why We Believe That We Are In It, That We Belong To The Picture, Is That Our Bodies Are In The Picture. Our Bodies Belong To It. Not Only My Own Body, But Those Of My Friends, Also Of My Dog And Cat And Horse, And Of All The Other People And Animals. And This Is My Only Means Of Communicating With Them.
