Douglas Caddy Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Here are some insights from the one and only Albert Einstein. He is most known as a popular scientist who dramatically changed humanity’s engagement with the world. This post illuminates some of his equally amazing insights beyond the science and beyond the physical. “I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.” “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.” "Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think. Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world." “Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” “I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me." "The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.” "A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. 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 this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." "Our separation from each other is an optical illusion." “When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.” “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” “We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.” “When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.” “The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.” “The ancients knew something, which we seem to have forgotten.” “The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.” “One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike. We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.” “I’m not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.” "The common idea that I am an atheist is based on a big mistake. Anyone who interprets my scientific theories this way, did not understand them." "Everything is determined, every beginning and ending, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper." “The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It will transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology.” “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” “Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” "I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care about money. Decorations, titles or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise. I claim credit for nothing. A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brancato Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Doug - I loved this collection of quotes, which I saw a few days ago when a friend posted them on FB. He didn’t fact check it, and neither did I. He just reposted something from a friend, and I did likewise. I’d like to believe Einstein said all these things, but did he?

Yes, I've read a couple of books on Einstein. And although he comes up with some stunning quips, I've never heard him in quite such in depth eloquence.

I believe most of the above remarks by Albert Einstein come from the 2013 book, The Cosmic View of Albert Einstein. On its cover is this blurb by Neil deGrasse Tyson: “It’s about time that somebody collected Albert Einstein’s most inspirational utterances in one volume. And what better way to adorn them to assemble the most stunning images of the cosmos.” Einstein’s remarks posted here in the forum are only a fraction of what is contained in the book.

Estimated Reading Time: 5 mins Yeah I know seems ridiculous (it is) but it's not unusual. I know a guy who paid a famous basketball player a million dollars to put a hat on during a celebration after the NBA championships. Crazy. Famous names trade on that all the time (Hunter Biden is a good example). When Hills goes to speak somewhere she has a full entourage and travel expenses, security details on top of secret service, advance teams probably etc. etc. They wouldn't give her or anyone else that money if they didn't see value in it. It's a brand, like Trump's BS, so it has a price in some circles. Payoff's of a sort I suppose, but probably not much of the quid pro quo that is tempting to imagine.
