“Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end,
by forces over which we have no control.
It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star.
Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust,
we all dance to a mysterious tune,
intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.”
~ Albert Einstein

“Perfection is a state in which things are the way they are
and are not the way they are not.
As you can see, this universe is perfect.”
~ Werner Erhard, est
Despite Omni-present ignorance,
selfishness, misery and suffering,
and apparent chaotic uncertainty,
Perfection pervades our “Loco Loka” * –
the realm of space/time and causation;
the realm of manifest Mystery.
*”Loco Loka” = crazy world

This is a very interesting subject. Einstein had this “religious sense” about the elegance of natural order. A cosmic sense. He did not have any affinity with a personal God. But what he describes is very beautiful. He felt at home in this sense, as someone else might feel comforted by a personal God, I suppose. Anyway, I would have to look more into it to say much. Only that it was a dance, an intonation, a mystery – words we use in a positive sense.
