Einstein famously said, “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” (“Science and religion,” 1954).

Hence you will find in this website a number of articles and essays with philosophical insight. 

We often hear that feelings matter more than understanding. How much of the Divine can you grasp? We're told, "Don't let your intellect interfere with your feelings". Likewise, mental influences are blamed for being "in the way" of true intuition.

According to Einstein, however, emotion and rational thinking best work as a pair. Here is how he puts it:

"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men."
