Meaning of Life

I came across this quote of Einstein’s while reading the book Catching the Light, The Entwined History of Light and the Mind, by Arthur Zajonc. (Prof. Zajonc is a Prof. of Physics at Amherst College and studies quantum optics.)
All the fifty years of conscious brooding has brought me no closer to the answer to the question, What are light quanta? Of course every rascal thinks he knows the answer, but he is deluding himself.

I also found this very nice web page that explains with graphics in simple terms the wave-particle duality of light.

It is something interesting to ponder. Please comment if you please.

Do we have the strength to leave and change? Perhaps the voices encouraging us to venture out on our own belong to the cruel Sirens? So we close our eyes, and hold to what we know.

My inspiration for understanding the meaning of life comes from Itzhak Bentov’s book “A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness”. On the last page the Self discovers itself underneath a blanket. continue reading…

Sometimes, what I write may seem complex but I will try to make it very simple, because that is the way I am. But if it seems complex, I suggest that you give it time, and I believe it will become very simple. continue reading…
