If you ever feel like you have the time try his biography by Issacson ~~~~ is one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read.<br>

<br>
Here are some insights from the one and only Albert Einstein. <br>
~ He is most known as a popular scientist who dramatically changed humanity’s engagement with the world. <br>
This illuminates some of his equally amazing insights beyond the science and beyond the physical. <br>
<br>
“I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.”<br>
“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.<br>
Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.”<br>
"Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think. <br>
Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world."<br>
“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.”<br>
“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me."<br>
"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, <br>
~ the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.”<br>
"A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. <br>
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.<br>
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."<br>
"Our separation from each other is an optical illusion."<br>
“When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. <br>
Everything is connected. ~~~~~ The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.”<br>
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”<br>
“We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.”<br>
“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. <br>
They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.”<br>
“The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.”<br>
“The ancients knew something, which we seem to have forgotten.”<br>
“The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.”<br>
“One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike. <br>
We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. <br>
It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.”<br>
“I’m not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. <br>
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.”<br>
"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."<br>
"Everything is determined, every beginning and ending, by forces over which we have no control. <br>
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,<br>
~~~~~ intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."<br>
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. ~~~~~ it will transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology.”<br>
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”<br>
“Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. <br>
Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. <br>
It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”<br>
"I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care about money, <br>
decorations, titles or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise.<br>
I claim credit for nothing.<br>
A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.” 🌟<br>
