Over ten years I have read many hundreds of great philosophers, but of them all I have special

affection for Albert Einstein. Having now read Albert Einstein's 'Special and General
Relativity', and 'Ideas and Opinions' many times, I thought it would be nice to put up a web
page that presented his religious ideas in as simple and ordered way as possible.
Albert Einstein was a beautiful man, wise and moral, who lived in difficult times. I think all
people will enjoy the great clarity and wisdom of his ideas, and they will find them very
relevant and useful in our modern (and very disturbed) world. As he writes on humanity and
true religiousness;

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We
experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of
optical delusion of 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 the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined
by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall
require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert Einstein,
1954)

The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the
sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder
and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really
exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull
faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the
center of true religiousness.
( Albert Einstein - The Merging of Spirit and Science)

I share the pantheist religion / philosophy of Albert Einstein that All is One and
Interconnected (Nature, God), of which we humans are an inseparable part. Perhaps I am a
romantic, but it is my hope that in the future Humanity will live by the truth, with greater
harmony between different people, their religions and cultures, and to life in all its complex
beauty.

Albert Einstein's ideas on Physics and Reality are also significant. It was from reading
Einstein that I first realised that matter was not made of tiny 'particles'. And having also read
Lorentz (whose work is founded on Absolute Space) I realised that a slight modification of
Einstein's relativity solved many of the problems of modern physics. Einstein represented
Matter as continuous fields in space-time, which never explained the discrete phenomena of
quantum theory.

The solution is simple, to work from real waves in a continuously connected space.

The articles on the side of the page show how the Wave Structure of Matter - by explaining
matter's necessarily interconnected motion in space - solves numerous problems of knowledge
found in postmodern Metaphysics, Physics and Philosophy.

Importantly and profoundly, we can now understand our true 'spirituality', our connection to
'god', by realising that we are really structures of the universe (as Einstein knew), that our
discrete and separate 'body' is a naive real illusion of the senses.
(Go and look at the stars at night and really think about how you exist in the universe, that
amazing universe you can see is really what you are - that is why you can see it! It is a very
cool spiritual experience - and it is true!)

We hope you enjoy the Kindness, Beauty and Truth of Albert Einstein - a most wonderful and
wise philosopher / scientist.

Cosmos,
