We Are Collaborators In Creation.

You Have Told Me, O God, To Believe In Hell. But You Have Forbidden Me To Think...of Any Man As Damned

My Starting Point Is The Fundamental Initial Fact That Each One Of Us Is Perforce Linked By All The Material Organic And Psychic Strands Of His Being To All That Surrounds Him. . . . If We Look Far Enough Back In The Depths Of Time, The Disordered Anthill Of Living Beings Suddenly, For An Informed Observer, Arranges Itself In Long Files That Make Their Way By Various Paths Towards Greater Consciousness.

We Have Only To Believe. And The More Threatening And Irreducible Reality Appears, The More Firmly And Desperately We Must Believe. Then, Little By Little, We Shall See The Universal Horror Unbend, And Then Smile Upon Us, And Then Take Us In Its More Than Human Arms.

The Machine Not Only Does It Relieve Us Mechanically Of A Crushing Weight Of Physical And Mental Labor; But By The Miraculous Enhancing Of Our Senses, Through Its Powers Of Enlargement, Penetration And Exact Measurement, It Constantly Increases The Scope And Clarity Of Our Perceptions. It Fulfills The Dream Of All Living Creatures By Satisfying Our Instinctive Craving For The Maximum Of Consciousness With A Minimum Of Effort! Having Embarked Upon So Profitable A Path, How Can Mankind Fail To Pursue It?

That There Is An Evolution Of One Sort Or Another Is Now Common Ground Among Scientists. Whether Or Not That Evolution Is Directed Is Another Question.
