Often I have found that the one thing that can save is the thing which appears most to threaten. . . one has to go down into what one most fears and in that process. . . comes a saving flicker of light and energy that, even if it does not produce the courage of a hero, at any rate enables a trembling mortal to take one step further.
When you study natural science and the miracles of creation, if you don't turn into a mystic you are not a natural scientist. Ye shalt know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. This promise constitutes the heart of my Christian beliefs and my call to natural-scientific research. We will attain to knowledge of the universe through the spirit of truth, and thereby to understanding of our being one with the deepest, most comprehensive reality, God.
