An analogy used to explain an idea about science:
"Perhaps the relationship I am suggesting can best be expressed by the metaphor of a nucleus embedded in a cell. The ego is embedded in a larger consciousness in which we participate, and acts as the organiser of life, and as in the cell, the proper relationship between the two modalities is osmotic. Modern science, on the other hand, identifies ego-knowledge with the whole of knowing; it tries to make that osmotic membrane rigid and impermeable. As a result, this type of consciousness begins to suffocate and die."
