"The power of the understanding (Knowing power) differs in degree in the various kingdoms of creation. The mineral, vegetable, and animal realms are each incapable of understanding any creation beyond their own... The animal cannot realize the intelligence of the human being, he only knows that which is perceived by his animal senses, he cannot imagine anything in the abstract... All superior kingdoms are incomprehensible to the inferior." Paris Talks Page 24 (41:5)
