“The Cosmos contains many trillions of stars and many billions of galaxies. The Milky Way alone contains many billions of stars that probably govern many billions of planets. Each one of our brains contains many billions of neurons, and we live on a planet that contains many billions of people. There is something interesting in all of this isn’t there? WE are children of a Grand System, the Cosmos, don’t you see?
