Well done. I too am fascinated by Einstein. I do find his stance on Zionism particularly interesting. I remember learning about the post world war years. It seemed like our textbooks very much pushed us towards the acceptance of the "rightness" of creating a Jewish state. Particularly after the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis. But with perspective, I does seem to have become an excuse to seek retribution on ancient enemies. There are never easy answers, and sometimes our quest to find them yields more harm than good.
Thank you Aaron! I am half Jewish but I never resonated with zionism. It was interesting to me to learn that it was considered a colonial project from the get go and had a lot of push behind it from elites that had agendas beyond the welfare of the Jewish people that preceded WW2. Germany is still pursuing its nazi agendas as far as I can tell - and they are more complex than just being about the Jewish people. But here is an uplifting one to remind us where to focus!
Thank you, Alicia, for this enriching piece of history about Albert Einstein. The thing is all religions are fascism in the name of God: they detain the only truth they impose on people with a set of rules to follow blindly. If people do, God loves them, if they don’t God will punish them. Religion is just another name for politics with mysticism attached, it is used to conquer, enslave and kill opponents and this is true for every religion.
This is why I love spirituality: God is everywhere but imposes no rules. It is just that incredible energy of love, not that punishing Santa Claus father figure. Albert Einstein believed in God in that way, he knew that music changed his vibrational state but he didn’t know why and how. Sometimes only knowing what brings us joy is enough, it is a giant step towards our inner self, towards what we are here to do and experience.
Humanity still has a long way to go on its path to realize that but a lot of us are awakening right now to light the way. I believe you and I are part of them. Lots of love.
