~The Mystic Wisdom of Einstein~ "I like to experience the Universe as one harmonious whole. Every cell has life. Matter, too, has life; it is energy solidified......" "The basic laws of the Universe are simple, but because our senses are limited, we can’t grasp them. There is a pattern in creation." "If we look at this tree outside whose roots search beneath the pavement for water, or a flower which sends its sweet smell to the pollinating bees, or even our own selves and the inner forces that drive us to act, we can see that we all dance to a mysterious tune, and the piper who plays this melody from an inscrutable distancewhatever name we give himCreative Force, or Godescapes all book knowledge.." "[A cosmic religion] has no dogma other than teaching man that the Universe is rational and that his highest destiny is to ponder it and co-create with its laws.." "The soul given to each of us is moved by the same living spirit that moves the Universe." ~Albert Einstein Source of Quotes: Einstein and the Poet: In Search of the Cosmic Man (1983). From a series of meetings William Hermanns had with Einstein in 1930, 1943, 1948, and 1954. How Einstein Saw the World https://creativesystemsthinking.wordpress.com//how-einste/

"The water is sacred. The air is sacred. Our DNA is made of the same DNA as the tree. The tree breathes what we exhale. When the tree exhales we need what the t...ree exhales, so we have a common destiny with the tree We are all from the Earth. And when the Earth & atmosphere is corrupted, then it will create its own reaction. Our mother is reacting" Floyd "Red Crow" Westerman We Are All One (Native American Prophecy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWtVTu6S51M#t=11 Image: Ego vs. Eco: Generated by J. Gonzalez Cruz & L. J. Lucero. It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality. Martin Luther King, Jr. All Life is Interrelated - Martin Luther King, Jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zD0qHUAiwo&t=7s I think the difficulty is this fragmentation. All thought is broken up into bits. Like this nation, this country, this industry, this profession and so on And they can’t meet. Wholeness is a kind of attitude or approach to the whole of life. If we can have a coherent approach to reality then reality will respond coherently to us. ~David Bohm, physicist Wholeness & Fragmentation - David Bohm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfHzfonAgX4&t=7s 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 feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his 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. ~Albert Einstein Related: How Wisdom Grows: Educating Hearts & Minds https://creativesystemsthinking.wordpress.com//how-wisdom/
