“If you have been inside a human brain, as I have, and held the quivering substance in your hand, if you have gazed through a microscope at a tiny section of the unimaginable network of nerve cells, if you have watched brain wave machines record a minute sampling of the communications between cells, if you have pondered the interwoven mysteries of brain and mind and human personality, then I think you should be prepared, if not for the concept of the analogy, at least for its emotional force. A whole person lives inside the bony box, locked in, protected, sealed away for the indispensable duties of managing one hundred trillion cells in a human body. The Head of the Body is the seat of mystery and wisdom and unity. He is the source.”
