Einstein and Problem Solving: Spiritual Thinking

Albert Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

I’ve taken the liberty to paraphrase Einstein’s comment, filtered through Colette’s teaching: “No problem can be solved from the same level of thinking that created it.” For me, what is required is a new way of thinking originating on a different level of consciousness. This other way is called spiritual thinking. Read more »

The Skeptics Stumbling Block: The Truth of Subjective Reality

     The difficulty with the skeptical  world is that it is exclusionary, driven by a materialist philosophy based on this foundational principle:  Only tangible physicality, perceptible to sensory awareness- driven by logic- in the quantitative reality that is measurable, calculable, and quantifiable is real.
