Commentating a Quote #4

"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." 
"To raise new questions, new possibilities, and to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science."
"There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there."
"The deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."

-Albert Einstein


    Background
Albert Einstein was a German born theoretical physicist, philosopher and author.  He won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.  Abhorring violence under any pretense, Einstein was to leave Germany so that he could dodge the draft.  He would revolutionize the field of theoretical physics and lead one of the most famous lives of science.  He is considered to be the greatest thinker of the modern era.

    The Idea

    The measure of a man is his level of consciousness, and if it is high enough, it takes on the persona of being divine.  The level of any man is ever expanding as long as a man does not allow his curiosity to pass away.  There are milestones where psyches shift in their perspective either entirely or only partially.  Often times a person would undergo a shift and become utterly puzzled on his achievement because even in that advancement, he would be unable to comprehend the true nature of consciousness.  It is the pursuit of man to work towards the achievement of the level of understanding that it can comprehend the entire world in which we live and find a solution to every problem that exists. 
     There isn't a problem that is unsolvable, but there are problems that cannot be solved because the people attempting to solve the problem aren't able to achieve the level of understanding required to solve the problem.  Achieving peace is one of these problems that requires complete understanding of itself to be solved.  If one is to be able to solve any problem or prevent any, then he becomes divine because he has achieved the ultimate level of understanding.  He can bend anything to his will, and there stands no challenges in his way, but this human can never exist.  One can never understand all of existence because it is forever fluctuating.  The level of understanding required is asymptotic to human understanding.  All we can ever do is get closer and closer to that achievement.  This pursuit is by far the most divine.
