A description of the experience
Ralph Waldo Emerson – from The Poet
The universe is the externalisation of the soul, wherever the life is that bursts into appearance around it. Our science is sensual and therefore superficial. The earth and the heavenly bodies, physics and chemistry, we sensually treat as if they were self existent, but these are the retinue of that Being we have.
