A human being is part of the whole, called by us "Universe"; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but the striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world.
Paul Dirac (1902 –1984) British theoretical physicist
and a founder of quantum physics​

“God’s love is the water we drink,
the air we breathe, and the light we see.
All natural phenomena are different material forms of the love of God. . . .
God’s love surrounds us,
but we do not feel it, anymore than we feel the pressure of the atmosphere.
Ernesto Cardenal, Nicaraguan priest and poet in Abide in Love

Quantum physics shows that matter is secondary,
with spirit and consciousness as the fundamental reality.
Max Planck, theoretical physicist
and founder of quantum theory
