The universe is all there is, or was, or will be. It is both subject and
object; contemplator and contemplated; creator and created; destroyer
and destroyed; preserver and preserved; and hath within itself all
causes, modes, motions, and effects. In this there is hope. This is a
foundation and a star. The infinite embraces all there is. Without the
all, the infinite cannot be. I am something. Without me the universe
cannot exist.
