I read many years ago about a bright young student who proudly said to Einstein that he was one of the three people who understood quantum mechanics. The best I can work out this student was refering to Heisenberg and Einstein.

Einstein dryly said 'and who are the other two?'

We cannot have the answers without asking the correct questions. We have a remarkable ability to understand the Universe in a way that fits in with our mathematics. I still think that is because we are a part of it. Hence the term 'self referential'. Contemplating your own navel comes to mind.

Science moves foward slowly except for the major paradigm shifts.

We are still stuck within the quantum computer and unless we can 'see' outside it of it we are forever blind.

I wonder if a search for the spiritual side of our human nature is one way or scarier still the only way!

I think all shamans through history were taking on an altered state and 'seeing' beyond the logic.

Schizophrenia in some of us unfortunately is the price we pay for having a very well developed analytical brain. Or does it give us a window to the unreality of reality!
