“For the first time in history, more people die today from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals combined. In the early twenty-first century, the average human is far more likely to die from bingeing at McDonald’s than from drought, Ebola or an al-Qaeda attack.”

“Spirituality I think is based on recognition of our higher nature, of somehow we are more than we think we are, we can experience ourselves as something much larger, much higher, and much more beautiful than we are aware of in our everyday state of consciousness. For me, spirituality is something significantly different from religion. Spirituality has something to do with my relationship with the cosmos, and it’s a very private affair, and something that depends on experience. You have to have the experience of spirituality. Somebody said spirituality is God-given, religion is man-made.”

“What we do know, and what we can assert without further hesitation, is that the universe had a beginning. The universe continues to evolve. And yes, every one of our body’s atoms is traceable to the big bang and to the thermonuclear furnaces within high-mass stars that exploded more than five billion years ago. We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.”
