Some Words from Einstein - Unbound - 05-10-2012
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man... I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence -- as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."
-Albert Einstein
Couldn't have said it better myself!

Another Einstein quote.....
"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."

Love is a better teacher than duty. . . . Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. -Einstein

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Albert Einstein
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. Albert Einstein

And the wisdom and intelligence of Einstein. Great quote Eternal

This resonated, thank you.

Albert Einstein:
"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

Mystery is good, but it sure is frustrating when I can't find the solution to a problem after digging for it.
RE: Some Words from Einstein - Daydreamin - 06-21-2012
"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."

Is this not the perfect explanation of the need for evolution?

Great post! The very fact that I can be aware that I am aware that 'I am', has tied my brain in knots all my life, since childhood.

Your second quote here, I've been chewing on for a while now. Very true!

Never lose a Holy curiosity. Stop every day to understand and appreciate a little of the Mystery that surrounds you, and, your life will be filled with awe and discovery to the very end. Albert Einstein.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

I think the distance between the universe and any of its distortion is always infinite.
