“A person experiences life as something separated from the rest -a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves from this self-imposed prison, and through compassion, to find the reality of Oneness.” – Albert Einstein
Our Obsession With Meaning
I want to start by asking YOU a question. What if, you and I were connected, one? How would we treat each other then?
What is it with the human fascination about what others are doing? Is it because we yearn to be a part of everything in this human world? Have you ever met someone and felt like you have known them forever? Have you ever been alone and yet felt so much apart of everything and everyone? Have you ever walked in a pristine forest and felt the calming, tranquil nature of everything around you and an overpowering sense of love? If you have, then you have experienced what many may call oneness.
The great German mathematician Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Cantor pushed mathematics to new frontiers in the late eighteenth century as he tried to solve the mathematical equation of infinity. His peers ridiculed him in his quest to explain infinity, using mathematical equations. The more Cantor looked at the model, the more he realised that there were different levels of infinity within infinity itself. In fact, during the many years Cantor devoted to finding the answer to this elusive question the more it drove him to insanity. The complexity and immensity of infinity and the nature of the universe eluded him. He did see glimpses of what lay on the other side during his studies which he described as ‘magnificent.’ The moral to this story is that Cantor, a religious man, wanted to prove something that is in itself vast and endless.
nice.
thanks.
