Quote Detail

I think that thinking of our material universe, the one we perceive with our sense, as the only thing is not only foolish, it is arrogant. As well as, if I may add, in contradiction to theoretical physics. I believe _ I have always believed _ that there is meaning and purpose to life, although we may not understand that meaning and purpose. I think we catch glimpses of it here and there, and I honestly think that the universe communicates it to us, if we can listen for it _ if our perceptions are finely enough tuned. All my life, I__e had a strong sense of purpose, of being here for a reason that I might not at that moment understand, but that something, somewhere, understood. The times I__e been unhappy in my life are when I__e gone off the path, when I__e realized that I made a choice taking me away from the way I was supposed to go. I remember what it was like to go to law school and to feel, so deeply that it went to my core, as though I was in the wrong place, as though I had stepped off the path. The path itself feels narrow and rocky, sometimes. Sometimes it feels as though I__ walking along a gulley, or a high cliff with winds. But it feels like a path, as though I__ going somewhere.I don__ know how to talk about this except by saying that we have instincts, and our instincts tell us these things, and we have to trust them.
