The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious, the source of all true art and science. People who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a persistent illusion.

A human being is a part of a whole, limited in time and space experiencing his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of delusion or prison. Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of beauty in nature.

Dr. Albert Einstein:

I would like to share a phenomena experienced because of its potential to manifest great and wondrous things personally and worldwide. Neither religiously nor culturally derived the following experiences having occurred spontaneously in ever-greater frequency.

In such an experience one finds oneself normal and fully conscious, yet in a completely satisfied state of sublime integrity and wholeness in which desire and attachment fall away. Of perceiving an essence and magnanimous beauty in which ego and worldly qualifications no longer apply. Of immersion in the flow of love from and for all things. When mere breathing is exquisite as an endless wave and tender caress ... of being home ... free.

Rather than an altered state could this not be our natural state?

Though one eventually finds oneself flawed and again in the mechanics and chaos of what we perceive as the "real world" one is still aware of a far more expansive refined reality or plane permeating and gradually transforming all levels of being.

I cannot convey specifically how to evoke such transformational states, though such ascendancies seem to neither require faith nor teaching, occurring naturally as one becomes receptive to higher levels of awareness and begins to realize the depth, breadth and beauty of one's higher nature.

... Or simply by nurturing an affinity and love for all things.

*Those who have experienced such grace and majesty should be humbled and considered
privileged to be fore-bearers of great and wondrous things.
