Eccles, J.C.
Because of the mystery of our being as unique self-conscious existences, we can have hope as we set our own soft sensitive and fleeting personal experience against the terror and immensity of illimitable space and time. Are we not participants in the meaning where there is else no meaning? Do we not experience and delight in fellowship, joy, harmony, truth, love and beauty where else there is only the mindless universe?
