Mysticism and Science-Einstein

The rift between mysticism and the modern sciences derives mainly from elements of scientism in the latter: certain branches of the natural sciences, broadly disavow subjective experience as meaningless, misunderstanding the limitations of the ancient languages. Physicist David Bohm speaking of consciousness expressing itself as matter and/or energy would be completely understood by the mystic, whatever his cultural/religious heritage. The mystic's attempt to describe cause and effect between one's internal state and the miraculous, hints at a close connection between psychological stability (ego transcendence) and the mysterious realm of causality quantum physicists are now deciphering - dimensional reality shifts that synchronize with states of consciousness and unconflicted choices.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) a German theoretical physicist and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect and theoretical physics. Einstein's work lead to his theory of special relativity and the well-known constant E=mc2.

From his own words, Albert Einstein's work in theoretical physics was greatly influenced by his imagination and inspired by a deep mystical persuasion.

Einstein is right now turning himself with c minus 1 rpm in his grave.

Einstein used the word "god" as a concept to describe the wholeness of the material universe, he didn't use it as a metaphysical concept. Also, E is not a constant, c is.

@TheWillwillwill I am pretty sure that Kabbalah is pantheistic/panentheistic by its very nature. However, Einstein did mention that he did believe in Sponza's God which is nature and impersonal.

@kvintessents

Einstein called his religion a "cosmic religious feeling". He also believed that " science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind". Einstein was a mystic and studied Kabbalah. I agree that he did not believe in a personal god. He view the universe as god.
