“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion.” ~ Albert Einstein”
― Benjamin Riggs, Finding God in the Body: A Spiritual Path for the Modern West
