Albert Einstein was probably not only the most significant scientist of the twentieth century but was also an outstanding philosopher and a true mystic…his theory of relativity changed the direction of science by moving it toward a more holistic view of life and the universe…this trend was continued by Niels Bohr who developed the concept of quantum physics…all of these developments gave new importance to interrelatedness…this can be clearly seen in Albert Einstein’s view of our need to change our consciousness of a separate self.
“The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religion.”
“A human being is part of the whole called by us universe … We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness.(left brain perception )
“This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
“The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self . We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”
I seriously love your writing together with the webpage altogether! Could be awesome to learn in which I’ll get that. Make sure to keep up to date the great work. Us all require far more such web owners exactly on the web and also a smaller amount spammers. Wonderful man!
Kindly posted. Part of your quote from Einstein was taken out of context or perhaps just juxtaposed. As I understand it, the following is a correct rendition of what Einstein said: “The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our ways of thinking. Thus we are drifting toward a catastrophe beyond comparison. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive”..Albert Einstein
