About This Quote

The universe is a conscious entity that seeks to understand itself. Life is a key tool in this process. The universe will always have a purpose. It is the role of life to help the universe realize the purpose it has given itself, and to understand its intent as it goes about doing so. In other words, life is the means by which the universe understands itself.
