The Living Universe Quotes

“the universe as buzzing with invisible energy and aliveness, patiently growing a garden of cosmic scale. It suggests that we humans, as conscious life forms in this immensity, are very precious. We serve an important purpose for a universe growing conscious forms of life: Through us, the universe sees, knows, feels, and learns. We are learning how to live ever more consciously in a living universe. What matters most is not matter but what is invisible—the aliveness within ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.”
― Duane Elgin, The Living Universe: Where Are We? Who Are We? Where Are We Going?

“In a living universe our physical existence is permeated and sustained by an aliveness that is inseparable from the larger universe. Seeing ourselves as part of the unbroken fabric of creation awakens our sense of connection with, and compassion for, the totality of life. We recognise our bodies as precious, biodegradable vehicles for acquiring ever-deepening experiences of aliveness.”
― Duane Elgin, The Living Universe: Where Are We? Who Are We? Where Are We Going?
