A little Wisdom from Einstein

Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy.  This is physics!
Albert Einstein

Einstein's Field

Whether you are a physicist (which I will never be even though I love science.  I get tripped up by the math and all those bloody formulas lol :)) or a philosopher (which I cannot help but be :)) this truth is undisputable.  Everything is energy.  We, as physical beings, are made up of trillions and trillions of cells that are dependent on the ability to use energy and create energy to keep these bodies alive.  The cells can be broken down into atoms and in those atoms we have subatomic particles. Between those subatomic particles is space. 

That space is where the energy exists.  That space cannot be measured because space is immeasurable...so that energy that exists in us, giving us life as human beings, expands and extends into infinity.  It is unlimited, with no obvious beginning and no obvious ending. There is no end to this energy.  The cells may die leading to the death of the organism but this energy which is infinite cannot die, can it?   It goes on...it flows on and through as energy does ...from one thing on this earthly plane to the next.   From earth it flows to and through space which is also infinite and never ending.  Just think what that means...we have flowing within us, a Source of energy that cannot be limited.  

What is this energy?

Is it soul?  Purely a phenomenon of  science? Could it be God?

Portuguese philosopher Baruch Spinoza purported that God and the Universe were one and the same thing way back in the 16th century.  It is obvious that his philosophies met with quite a bit of resistance back then, being that organized religion ruled everything from education to politics.  Such an idea would throw the foundations of control from the church into chaos. That religious foundation was based on fear of sin and repercussion, literal translation and adherence to the scriptures.  People believed what they were told to believe.   New ideas and possibilities were outwardly rejected before they had a chance to spread.   The church was everything.  Personal belief  or questioning the status quo was taboo.
Einstein's Spinoza

Einstein had  once, early on in his scientific advancements, partially aligned himself with Pantheist belief that God is this energy but he still had his reservations. Most of his reluctance to say he followed any form of religion or  that he was an atheist came from his very honest proclamation that he just didn't know, that he, as a human being, was not equipped to understand the universe or God with his limited mind.  I love this quote, this answer to a question that was written in a book by George Viereck entitled Glimpses of the Great :

Your question is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's Pantheism. I admire even more his contributions to modern thought. Spinoza is the greatest of modern philosophers, because he is the first philosopher who deals with the soul and the body as one, not as two separate things.[(Viereck, 1930)
 
Questioning the Possibilities

I am definitely not here to support Spinoza’s philosophy or even Einstein’s.  I am just doing what philosopher’s do.  I am questioning the possibility of it all. You see, I don’t know! Truth is, I may never know. I just cannot believe for the sake of believing.  Like Einstein…I often feel that God and the Universe are too big for us to understand with our minds.  Maybe we are to understand it more with our heart’s and our souls.  That I can do.  J Einstein, too, went on to believe more than this later on in his career.  He is often quoted as saying that the more he studied science, the more he understood God

I choose to believe…that this beautiful energy within us is Divine Love, unlimited Love and potential that flows through all of us.  If this is so, how can we not be all that we want to be? 

How can our lives not be full of anything but Love and abundance? 

Often our reality is not what we want. In this case, I think the problem is a physics related one.  We are not meeting the vibrational energy of what Love is.  We are operating below our potential vibrationally.  We are often blocking the flow of energy with our ego resistance. 

God wants that loving energy to pour through us and we say "no".  There is no fear in this energy…we create it with our limited minds.  There is no limitation in this energy flow…we block it with our limited minds.  There is no end to how high we can go…we just slam the brakes on with our limited minds. 

Resisting our Expansion

The problem is not with the energy flow.  It is not with the universe.  It is not with Life or God.  The problem is with our own mental resistance to “more”.  We resist our expansion. The resistance is our subconscious refusal of what is coming to us.  If we could work on our own vibrations, our own energy which is often determined by our emotions…we cannot help but to get the reality we want.   

It begins with believing that we deserve it, of knowing that none of us are denied it, of understanding that our potential operates under a purely natural, physical law.  To bring our vibration up to this energy level…we need to want.  We need to ask.  We need to move forward.  We constantly need to move forward in the wanting for expansion to occur so we can keep the momentum going.

It is all good. All is well in my world.

Life is like riding a bicycle.  to keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Albert Einstein
