Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

In the context of Holistic Quantum Relativity's Socratic Dialogue it is useful to note Albert Einstein's Quotes on Spirituality. Einstein contributed more than any other scientist to the modern vision of physical reality. His special and general theories of relativity are still regarded as the most satisfactory model of the large-scale universe that we have.

Albert Einstein Quotes on Spirituality

. I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.

. Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

. My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

. The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.

. Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe -- a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.

. The scientists' religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.

. There is no logical way to the discovery of elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious; It is the source of all true art and science.

. We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

. Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.

. When the solution is simple, God is answering.

. God does not play dice with the universe.

. God is subtle but he is not malicious.

. 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 feelings as something separated from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.

. Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

. The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.

. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

. Only a life lived for others is a life worth while.

. The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books---a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.

. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

. What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.

. The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenetrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men.

. The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.

. True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.

. Intelligence makes clear to us the interrelationship of means and ends. But mere thinking cannot give us a sense of the ultimate and fundamental ends. To make clear these fundamental ends and valuations and to set them fast in the emotional life of the individual, seems to me precisely the most important function which religion has to form in the social life of man.

More Albert Einstein Quotes on Spirituality

"I do not think that it is necessarily the case that science and religion are natural opposites. In fact, I think that there is a very close connection between the two. Further, I think that science without religion is lame and, conversely, that religion without science is blind. Both are important and should work hand-in-hand."

"That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God..."

Rajesh Sharma

Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

Often it has come to my mind that it is the reverse:

Science without religion is blind, religion without science is lame."

Harb

I don't think science and religion need to be united.
They already are.

Everything is already everthing .

They are just two of the infinite numbers of ingredients that make up everything.

We need both equally.

Fear and arrogance caused peolple to see conflict between science and spirituality.
They seem to have worked together just fine until we became so smart and decided they were at odds with each other.

We will come full circle eventually and get smart enough to let go of this fear and arrogance and reap the benifits of both.

peace comes from peace

Derek...I loved it. You've said it all, my dear. ;)

If we look at ourselves, our bodies as part of the whole universe... if we 'think' of ourselves and contemplate on who we are beyond that body...

The physical body is the obejct and subject of our very contemplation...it just is. We could not contemplate without it!

It is what it is. I too don't see the point of this endless search for connection to what is obvious. We already know that answer.

Dear DK,

Regarding the Re Man Shabad from an earlier post. If you go to http://www.boundlotus.com/ and click "manual and CD" and then find the clip you can listen to the Re Man Shabad. There is also an artist, Balaji Tambe, who has a version that isn't available in the US... but perhaps Germany and/or India (?). That version is supposed to be perfect. But I think all of Snatam Kaur's work is heavenly.

Love, Kristin

Dear DK, here is one more proof in support of my theory, according to which spiritual realm(or consciousness or soul or spirit)gets entangled into four basic forces in the virtual world - where prticles move beyond the speed of light and which is described by by quantum theory - and then get disentangled from them in the actual world:

It is a quote from the book "New Physics and Mind" by one, Robert Paster:

Quote
Entanglement is a feature of quantum physics according to which particles relate superluminally, faster than the speed of light. Albert Einstein never fully accepted this implication of quantum physics’ uncertainty principle, and he referred to entanglement as “spooky action at a distance.”

Einstein and two colleagues put forth what they thought was a paradox so absurd that they intended that the uncertainty principle—and its logical conclusion of entanglement—would be laughed out of the world of science. But entanglement has turned out to be fact, even though it “entangles”—instantaneously, and therefore faster than the speed of light—characteristics of far-distant particles.

Today, experimental physicists demonstrate the phenomenon of entanglement and consider how to take advantage of the phenomenon, for example for quantum computers. And theoretical physicists consider the implications of entanglement for the unification of general relativity with quantum physics, for the structure of space and time, and for theories of consciousness.
Unquote

Isn't it quite close to my theory as also to our project?

Harb

Dear Harb, why don't you write a think-piece about entanglement for HQR in some detail and then we can post it?

Dear Kristin, thanks.

Dear Derek, well said. However, the schism does exist at the level where science is at today and where spirituality is also at. HQR seeks to bridge this gap.

Dear Drebelo, Marek and Rajesh, thanks.

With love

Okay Matai, you make me smile when you call me Drebelo. I don't know why you do it but it's the second time, and it's funny.

Are you trying to expose me at any cost? Ok, here is my name and I will prove to you that I have nothing to hide.

Cheers, my dear! :)

How can Albert Einstein Qoute on Spirituality when he has been dead for over fifty years?


Albert Einstein was indeed a great thinker and one who was highly acknowledged for his academic ability. I qoute a saying from one of the greatest pioneers of science Sir Isacc Newton "If I have seen further than others then it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants"


So in that sense those who have gone before us we learn much from.

Albert Einstein was primarly a thinking man... which means he used to question constantly the enviroment in which he was born into.

From a real understandings point of view all this means is that he was like a duck that follows a trail of bread thrown to it and the trail never ends. Towards the latter part of his life I conclude that Albert Einstein was on the verge of true enlightenment, simply because he began to talk from a point of view that stated that all searching is pointless even scientific search. That the Universe is Infinitely pointless. When I say pointless I dont mean there is no point in living or that the Universe has stopped. I mean that our mind based questioning of our own reality is pointless. If we could embrace the awareness of a pointless Universe and an Unlimited and unknowable and none existant agenda then Science would change entirely. Scientific search would become less clouded and more real. We would eventually be able to know the fabric of our own being and the fabric of the Universal Intelligence.

To Know God or the Universe or what ever you may choose to name it begins by first understanding the one who has the questions. Albert Einstein for me began late on in his career to realise this fact. The fact that looking outward for answers is the prelude to looking inward at the one questioning a hypnotic reality that one has subscribed to.

You will not know god in the mind unless you know yourself.

Now you can know that now if you choose or you can surrender to that fact after a life time of research. Either way the answer will be the same.

I am writing a book at the moment about a person who has two life times as the same person and these lifetimes are in two seperate worlds within the Universe. This might seem pretty strange but If you accept the fact first and foremost that all consciousness is Omnipresent in all places then it is not difficult to understand that a soul or a capsule we know as a person can move from one form of exsitence in a body to another form of existence in another body.


I have proof that this can be so...... and it is very simple to realise it.

Many of you will have taken a trip right?.... many of you will have gone on an aeroplane to another part of the world.....

Now..... let me ask you...do you really belive that you went anywhere?... think about it... the body is in another country yes... but the one who is internaly you... the inside person that is a witness to your life.... have they moved anywhere?

What I am saying is... you may think you have gone from place to place or even learned something new or developed something new... but infact your real internal self is in the same position..in the same focal point and awareness that it was always at.. it has never been or gone anywhere. Infact it is always the same.

Sure new Ideas might come along..some different thoughts about Life dadada.... but the real you is always in that same context no matter where you think or decide you are in this world around you.

A perfect example is when old people some times say "I feel the same person as I do when I was twenty or eighteen except my body is less willing to agree" I have heard old people say that loads of times. And it is true they have never really aged because their real self is not something that changes or is in any way connected to the scenarios sorrounding life in this world.

So like I said Albert Einstein.... is not qouting on spirituality here.... he may have done but that was then and this is now.Live and think in the moment when we are connected to the divine think tank not constantly in the ideas of the past which is gone and been done.

Whoa! Brain melt down or what!!!!?

you are Lucky I have to live with this stuff!

Being an artist, I have been connected to the creative procces all my life.

When I create a painting, I start with an empty white canvas.
From just white space I start creating a world that never existed before. One that evokes emotion, stories, and an endless array of things in people.
I don't have to say a word and people start telling me what my paintings mean, and it's different with every person.

We are all apart of a collective creative procces.

The cool thing is we all see it differently.

We will all express it differently.

Every moment is a new white canves, and a finished work.

yo yo yo........

Dear DK, re:#8, thank you, idea already came to my mind yesterday after seeing Richard's post. May be soon.

Good Morning DK and Everyone,


DK, it is a pleasure to read these quotes, thanks so much for posting them..

have a wonder-full day, all ruth

Dear DK and all,

I have been reading chapters from the book on the conversations of Krishnamurti and David Boehm.

Been reading Einstein's quotes on spirituality and found a website where i could fill in specific words, received a number and then could look at the definition(s) belonging to a particular word. The site has the Heading: "English Quabalah, The key of it All"

http://thelemicgoldendawn.org/documents/english.htm

What struck me was the correspondence between the four forces, the unifying force, the ground Krishnamurti is speaking about and for instance the intuitive mind and rationality Einstein mentions.

Hereunder a few quotes on the different words:

Intuitive mind: Invisible House, Palace of the Stars.

Rational: Free Will.

Intellect: Be Strong.

Ratio: Rishi.

Reasonability: Transcendent Understanding.

Gravitational Force: deal hardly with them, with Fire and Sword

Electromagnetic Force: Minutum Mundum, Quadrature of Circle.

Strong Force: Magnum Opus, Hermaphrodite, Prometheus, Conjuration.

Weak Force: No-Thing, Gnostic, Priest, Initiate, Blessing, and more.

Unifying Force: Vault of Heaven, Rosenkreuz, Solar Initiate and more

Force of Love: Sanctuary, Secret Door, Great Arcanum, Invocation, Rare Scents.

Ground: Cherubim, Nirvana, Silent.

Common Ground: Vault of Heaven, Rosenkreuz, Solar Initiate and more.

Now what struck me here is that Common Ground means the same as Unifying Force.

So far the Holistic Quantum Relativity of it all :)

Love, Mieke

Love, Mieke

For all clarity, i have been reading chapters from the book "The ending of Time", with conversations of K and B about this:

http://jiddu-krishnamurti.net/en/the_ending_of_time/the_ending_of_time.html


The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. - Albert Einsten

I was struck by something I once read about man going wrong about five or six thousand years ago, when he began to be able to plunder and take slaves. After that, his main purpose of existence was just to exploit and plunder. - Dr. David Bohm


------


Trained from childhood to block the flow
The black mental screen
Capturing the light
Of Spirit vibrations

Watching God news
On the channel One!
Reports circulating

Mind One pole
Switched off
A new Dual-pole attraction

After long studies
I am ready to decode
Life mysteries.

Reading life manifestations
Black on white
Witnessing the misery

Even conscious of the gold and its value
I have a strange intuition
To switch One on.

Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

Holistic Relativity:

Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind. Without Consciousness they both are dead.

I think Avtar is the Einstein of the 21st century!

...the letter killeth, but the spirit gives it life.........

I thought that site was a forum for relativity, but after I see all the gag order consequences - i find that its natural cynicism is undeserving of further comment.
