“Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.”
— Sir Arthur Eddington(1882-1944)
On considering “Oratorio for Living Things”, I am sitting on the porch, thinking. We view the world through the lens of a very small slice of time, space and wavelengths. We have built our view of our world in that set of dimensions our entire life. What if that set of dimensions is incomplete? What if the ‘spiritual’ dimension is real; but completely misunderstood? What if there are dimensions in which we exist but are completely unaware?
My view, education is the process by which we move the boundaries of the unknown; not a training ground for a high paying career.
“Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.” ― Socrates
