Life is more than the passing on of genes, it is the potential of an individual blossoming toward the infinite, into the ideal, around God. We are, each of us slaves to the forces of nature; but we are, too, every moment, at that delicate moment, within an infinite regression, a moment when our consciousness turns the balance. We hold on or we let go. We are an act of will operating at nano-scale. We are elemental. We are ever becoming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I allow the objects I desire to comprehend, to act tranquilly upon me; I then observe the impression I have received from them \u2014 Goethe (1749-1832) Goethe shows us the way which science has missed.
