Talk:Fabric of Consciousness

Einstein hints at his understanding of the power and grandeur of The Fabric/Consciousness/Spirit. Note, his effacement of humanity arises from the fact that he uses as his model for "normal" humanity an unhealthy and disconnected victim of Toxic Socialization

Einstein: "I am not a mystic. Trying to find out the laws of nature has nothing to do with mysticism, though in the face of creation I feel very humble. It is as if a spirit is manifest infinitely superior to man's spirit. Through my pursuit in science I have known [[Cosmic Religious Feelings. But I don't care to be called a mystic." (Einstein, Hermanns, 1978: np).

Islam

Kabir

Behold but One in all things; it is the second that leads you astray.

Taoism

Chuang Tzu

Do not ask whether the Principle is in this or in that; it is in all beings. It is on this account that we apply to it the epithets of supreme, universal, total.… It has ordained that all things should be limited, but is Itself unlimited, infinite. As to what pertains to manifestation, the Principle causes the succession of its phases, but is not this succession. It is the author of causes and effects, but is not the causes and effects. It is the author of condensations and dissipations (birth and death, changes of state), but is not itself condensations and dissipations. All proceeds from It and is under its influence. It is in all things, but is not identical with beings, for it is neither differentiated nor limited." Quoted form PP

Zen Budhism

The Lankavatara Sutra

"Pure in its own nature and free from the category of finite and infinite, Universal Mind is the undefiled Buddha-womb, which is wrongly apprehended by sentient beings." [PP]
