A problem cannot be solved with the same consciousness that created it. -- Albert Einstein
I read that last night and was jolted by that word "consciousness." I had always heard that quote as "A problem cannot be solved with the same mind that created it." The word "mind" as opposed to the word "consciousness" changed the meaning entirely for me.
As I pondered it, I realized that is precisely what it means to know there are two ways of experiencing life on a daily basis...with a material mindset or through spiritual consciousness. Doesn't material mindset say it all? The mind is set by our reasoning mind's interpretation...period, end of discussion.
Spiritual consciousness allows us to live in acceptance of that which is before us now. We understand that all things are possible through God...the good can lift us up higher, the bad can be made beautiful...not by our thinking to make it so, but by our realizing it is already so.
No wonder Einstein is known to be a genius. I suspect his material mind was set in spiritual consciousness. And if that be so for him, I'll have what he was having...please and thank you.
Thank you.
