It is a mistake to think that Einstein - this great universal scientist, humanist, visionary and mystic - has discovered the Theory of Relativity through patient research and many years of analysis.
Of course, he has done many, but this work alone cannot be considered as the essential cause of his discoveries, but only the secondary conditions of his endeavour.
Whoever does not know the difference between the ego-thinker individual and the cosmos-thought one, cannot understand Einstein or his work.
From the earliest civilizations to the present-day, intensely conscious individuals have appeared on planet Earth, in which this consciousness prevails remarkably over the personal consciousness. And the idea we have is of inspired men, mystics, magicians, prophets, etc. The ego-thinking man, restricted to his tiny circle of senses and mind, does not comprehend that reason can magnify this circle notably, encompassing larger areas of consciousness, which can be called cosmo-consciousness.
Among Hebrews and non-Hebrews of ancient Africa, men of cosmo-conscious, appeared, such as the great Toth, which the Greeks called Hermes (the God of Wisdom), three times magnum (Trismegistus); in Africa came the mighty legislator and conductor of Israel, Moses; also came the luminous constellation of the great Neo-Platonists of Alexandria, Philo, Plotinus, and Origen; there lived some great pharaohs, above all the initiator of monism, Amenhotep IV, who changed his name to that of Akhenaton I; later the geniuses of Augustine and Tertullian.
In other continents of ancient culture, appeared men of cosmo-consciousness, Hindus and others, such as Buddha, Krishna, Rama-Krishna, Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Lao-Tse, Ramana Maharshi, Yogananda, Zarathustra, Paul of Tarsus, and Jesus himself; all of them, at different intensities, surpassed the trivial self-consciousness of the common man and were also invaded by the significant cosmos-consciousness.
Baruch of Espinoza gives to this cosmic power the name of “Soul of the Universe”; others leave it in perpetual anonymity (Buddha); some call it “Father” (Jesus); for others still, it is simply “Tao”, Reality (Lao Tse); others finally call it “Law” (Einstein).
Whenever these cosmo-conscious men sense the invasion of this infinite source in their finite channels, they empty their human vehicles and allow the invasion of the cosmic forces to dwell within them.
Sometimes these superior powers completely dominate human consciousness, just as a strong wind enfolds the boat sail and drags it with speed; sometimes the human boatman, under the impulse of cosmic inspiration continues to dominate and direct its ship, propelled by these cosmic forces but retaining the direction of its forces.
Those who know an ego-conscious and self-motivated Einstein in his discoveries are unaware of the cosmo-conscious man, he was... this great mystic scientist.
His Hebrew ancestry offered him a vast cosmo-conscious substrate, although unconscious. His life, in many cases, places him in the ascendancy of magicians, mystics, and yogis, although we cannot attribute to the great mathematician any supernatural connotations which these words seem to imply.
Einstein spent long periods of voluntary seclusion and silence in a process when the mind becomes uni-polarized, a process by which he extracted from the Universe its secrets. Another of his peculiar habits: to take a break in his studies and seek music for more inspiration. He was also an accomplished violinist and played the piano.
The scientist who works only with its intellect, knows nothing of this cosmo-thoughtful attitude, relying only on its ego-thinking acts; is lost in the chaos of human circumstances, without attaining the substance of God; knows the body and ignores the soul of the Universe.
When a man has a rational intuition, he has the impression of being overrun by an external force, when in reality he experiences an eruption from within his own cosmic centre, once unconscious, and now conscious. When this force becomes cosmo-conscious, he receives what is called intuition.
The merely intellectual man has what we may call ego-perception, while the rational (spiritual) man has intuition, the vision from within, which seems to be an outer invasion.

Monism consists of the principle of unity with diversity, perfect harmony, equidistant from the unitary monotony and from the chaos which diversifies.
Our physical-mental-emotional and tyrannical ego is, by its very nature, centrifugal, extroverted, always towards the peripheries of the objective world. The human mind at this stage, simply tied to the tendencies of the ego, finds itself multi-polarized: distracted, dispersive, undisciplined, and unable to concentrate. As it advances and surpasses the chaotic face of the dispersive ego, it enters the mystical zone of the Self. In its pilgrimage towards its self-knowledge, ego tendencies begin to discipline itself for a mental convergence. Instead of having 20 or 10 thoughts in rapid succession, the mind reduces them to 5 or 2, and finally to one thought; the mind is then uni-polarized. Little by little, this successive thought culminates in simultaneous consciousness: “My father and I are one!” The uni-polarity of thought is now replaced by the uni-polarity of consciousness. Mental analysis dies, and spiritual intuition is born. At this stage of spiritual consciousness, man overcomes the lower zones of storms and turbulence of the ego and enters the stratosphere of the great stillness and silence of the Self. In other words, a vertical line of thought is formed, which marks the boundary between two worlds: between the turbulent world of the ego, subject to time, space, and causality - and the tranquil world of the Self, which dwells in the eternal, in the infinite.
According to Eckhart Tolle, a famous spiritualist, writer and lecturer: “Wisdom comes from the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening, activates the subtle perceptions of Reality or the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions”. Or in the language of Sacred Scripture: “Be still - and you will know that I am God.”
