"Before the discovery of quarks, we hadn't imagined anything smaller than protons and neutrons. Are quarks the end of the line, the smallest imaginable objects in nature? Can the universe be divided into infinitely smaller units in the same way the universe is ever-expanding? Alan Lightman explores these questions in his characteristic accessible and lyrical prose, considering the igniting element behind consciousness, the origin of life, the anatomy...

In these pages Raphael gives just a simple introduction to the Teaching of Plato, sending the seeker back to direct meditation on the texts.

The key unlocking the mind.
Some seek a freedom from restraint yet need only to stop restraining themselves.
Some seek to become that of greater good yet confuse that which is good from bad and bad from good.
Some seek that of change about themselves yet not a moment is spent to change that within the self.
Some seek God by searching yet are forever kept away by their very searching.
All keys are relative to their lock as all locks are relative...
