Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Consider this... A human being is a part of the whole, called by us " Universe " ; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and his feelings, as something separate from the rest -- a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison. --- Albert Einstein (yeah, the physics dude!) and... The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical. It is the sower of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger 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 most primitive forms; this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense only I belong to the ranks of devoutly religious men. ----Albert (again) ... it seems he had his mystical moments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
