"Look through our great telescopes: Do you see Man? No, of course not. You see chemical reactions, physical laws, explosions, mergings, seemingly violent births and deaths. You, we, do not see Man because it is not Man who is looking through the telescope. It is only part of man: the isolated rational mind, with all its undeniable brilliance, is only a small part of man, of the human psyche.
But if the whole man, if a whole man with all his faculties of perception looks through that same telescope, he will see himself, what he truly is. He will see what the ancient sages and tellers of myth saw in nature, in the Earth, above the Earth, in the sky. He, we, will see passion and truth and love and yearning and the needs of God and the Earth themselves.
We do not see Man in the universe because it is not Man who is looking."
