Einstein said:
“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”.
This very much suggests to me that he cannot have been an Atheist or Agnostic. These words acknowledge a belief in a “Supreme Being” which controls the Universe – and he often referred to G-d when speaking of this vastly superior spirit – albeit he preferred Spinoza’s notion of G-d. I believe he was among the most profoundly religious men.

The presence of ‘god’ has been described throughout history, so there’s no question that in the remote past, men knew they were being governed by some higher level.

How they knew is written in books that vary fromo Jakob Boehme, William Blake, Emanuel Swedenborg, Robert Monroe, (check his three books out), John Lilly to read their attempts to describe their experiences to find evidence from reality based authors.Information is what is needed and the Internet makes it available. Time is not so invisible now was it was before computer speeds filled up a second, increasing the space between one second and the next one. There are authors whose thought about ‘god’ is convincing if you have the inclination to think for yourself and try to find the evidence in your own life. It’s there. Post 62 is a good one, there’s something hidden in most stories, there’s a mindset where an extra ’sense’ of reality operates.

“The psychic life is in ‘higher space’ and it’s point of communication with the visible world at a given moment is through the brain.” Maurice Nicoll, page 117 from Living Time and Integration of the Life.

Read what Isaac Newton wrote about Divine Providence and how he really believed that when the birth of a messiah was predicted long before it happened, that was supposed to be evidence of providence higher than man’s.

John Lilly admitted he had discovered nothing, that every thing is revelation, but that’s true of William Blake and Swedenborg who both claimed they did not author their own writings. Time is where we live, Einstein was not an agnostic in my opinion, his dream that gave him the body of an idea that he fleshed out with the aid of Minkowski and others.

ok man like i know wht your saying but you have a pretty dumb way of explaining it. God is real and he is apart of us. You know that saying “nothing is impossible” well thats so true and einstein knew that. its god people learn how to use him.

Everything Einstein wrote has something written between the lines that you can only see if you look closely enough. This text, although it has literary value, has a hidden message as well. The message is that there is no God. Our need for a God, as Einstein said quite cleverly, stems from our need to explain our own conative desires, and fear of suffering. We use the idea of God, because it is easier to slot all good things in this world into the category of Gods doing, and prescribe all the bad things to Satan. There are enemies everywhere. Ascribing these dangers to something plural rather than random singular events, is our only means of coping with them logically.

I think that what einsten called cosmic religious feeling, he was talking about the feeling that some people who practice meditation call the “illuminator empty”. The searching for something which is bigger than us is present since the principle of humanity, and its intuitive, 90% of humanity believes in god, 85% in life after death. There is no topic that humanity agrees more than this, and this cannot be just phisical evolution of matter. We have thinkings, we have conciousness, we are able to have feelings and matter, how einstein confirmate is just energy and energy is all that is, and energy is our thinking and our feelings. Materialism is an illusion, spiritualism and harmony are the language of the universe, and religions are just a failed attempt of linearize the interdimensionality.

EISTEIN HAS BEEN CALLED TO BE GENIUS UNTIL NOWADAYS, BUT I AM NOT. I COULD NOT EVEN HELP MYSELF TO WRAP BABY DIAPERS, SO SAD TO SAY. I HOPE HE COULD INVENT A DIAPER THAT COULD ADAPT TO DIFFERENT AGES, BUT, SADLY TO SAY, HE DIDN’T WHILE HE DEPART TO ANOTHER WORLD. BORE! BORE! BORE! A NEW SUBJECT TO LEARN AFTER NEW DISCOVERY OF IDEA FROM EISTEIN. I WANT NEW THING NOT IDEA. FLEXIBLE DIAPER HAS TO BE INVENTED. I NEED YOU PLEASE! BORE! BORE! BORE!

I am basically a theist. But the concepts of Metaphysics and Cosmology have never stopped intriguing me. Well I am a Hindu. Surprisingly, I found out that my religion( Hinduism) is entirely science-based. People have mistaken Hinduism to be a religion, which is not. There has never been a name for it, from the beginning!:)

Well, I know for sure that the God people have created is a myth. Einstein puts it right. The stories, parables and the re-incarnations were invented by people to ensure ethics and not chaos. ( I had read once that the concept of reincarnation is part of Chaos theory. Am not sure) But none can deny the fact that there is this infinite space surrounding the finite universe. And in a way. And I consider that space as the supreme power. And yeah, right now I am bursting with the cosmic religious feeling

Hi: Don’t you think about what the differences are in ‘Christian’ beliefs and other religious beliefs? There was a long period of prophecy that a messiah would be born, that’s what Christianity is about isn’t it? The messiah did come, and as no less intellect than Isaac Newton thought about it, that was supposed to prove there is ‘Divine Providence’. It did not. It would seem that if an event was foreseen and then it happens that would prove the existence of ‘god’, and be proof of it’s workings. It did not. There a hidden dimension behind the kinds of experiences (it was a dream) Einstein had, from which his theories evolved, it was old when Plato and Socrates lived, It may not be spiritual but it’s there and we are involved in it. I like Jung and the Seven Sermons to the Dead by Stephen Hoeller, it’s difficult reading but he traces a ‘thread’ backwards through Time. What would Einstein think about the increase of space between one second and the next one? If he’d lived through the advent and expansion of computer speeds, how would he explain the apparently endless space between one second and the next?

the word christian (ian) is a suffix denoting places not persons, there was no one named Jesus, or John or any of the other bible or book of Mormon names, they are all translated and changed. First grade education we have names that are the same sound in every language unless you are named after an object or situation rather then biometric symbols of your fingerprint as most counties do.your name may have a different word in some languages but it does not change your birth certificate. or your name. thank you John Cunningham johncunningham1956@netzero.com
