Einstein said...

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘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. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind."


-Albert Einstein(1950)


As we continue to expand human consciousness we expand human possibilities. As the century ahead unfolds science and spiritual practice not only are meeting to intersect but to evolve together. Like the double helix of DNA the intertwining of science and the spiritual will lead to an explosive growth of possibilities. In computer science charting growth patterns, doubling of potential, speed of computation on a silicon chip is known as Moore's law. What will be the new law that governs the growth, the expansion of the human mind?
