"It is generally believed that only adult humans really possess

intelligence. They do, of course, and in a way that is

particularly obvious, but actually there is already intelligence

in new-borns, even in animals, although in a way that still

remains a mystery to science. Intelligence exists in a variety of

forms throughout the universe. The earth is intelligent, and the

sun is also intelligent, even the most intelligent being of all,yes, because it is the most alive of all beings. You will say,

' More alive than we are?' In a way, yes, more alive than we are.

Obviously, if you go around telling people the sun is the most

intelligent created being, you'll be laughed at. And yet, the

proof is there: since it is the sun that gives humans life, it

must be more alive than they are. If the sun were not there to

give out its warmth and light, there would be no life on earth

and, therefore, no intelligence or love."
