Einstein had a virtually mystical understanding of the nature of space & time, which he expressed in The New York Times, March 29, 1972:
" A human being is a part of a whole, called by us Universe. A part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest; a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires, and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security. "
A triple "prison" for the mystic, space, time, & personality define & specify the normal state of consciousness. Mystic ecstasy offers a glimpse of spiritual freedom, & escape from the prison of selfhood.
