A Letter From Albert Einstein To His
Daughter
A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter:
In the late 1980s, Lieserl, the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400
letters, written by Einstein, to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish
their contents until two decades after his death. This is one of them, for Lieserl
Einstein.
“When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I
will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the
misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.
I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until
society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a
formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is
even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been
identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the
most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and
receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to
others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows
humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness.
Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is
Love.
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable
that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love
because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive
at will.
To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous
equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world
can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we
arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because
it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the
universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves
with another kind of energy…
If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want
to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and
only answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful
enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the
planet.
However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of
love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will
have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and
anything, because love is the quintessence of life.
I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has
quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time
is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached
the ultimate answer!”
Your father,
Albert Einstein
There inherently exists an attempt at least within a Greek context the attempt to describe Love and categorically define it relative to relationship. There are at least 8 different types of Love as expressed within Greek Philosophy:
- Eros (sexual passion)
- Philia (deep friendship)
- Ludus (playful love)
- Agape (love for everyone)
- Pragma (longstanding love)
- Philautia (love of the self)
- Storge (family love)
- Mania (obsessive love)
The application and its expression relatively to taxonomic is a division of love that by my supposition is counterintuitive – as Love and it’s end goal – should be visualized as the power to which unifies all things. Man’s attempt at Love is one that requires division as man is often incapable of recognizing the healing and majestic power of “Pure Love.”
Greek philosophy stemming from Gnosticism ultimately presents Agnosticism – where the mind of God, even Love – is beyond comprehension.
Wise enough to not proclaim to know the mind of God, I think inherently man and woman have an innate desire for peace. Peace being correlated to Unity, Singularity, Equilibrium, “At One Ment.”
Relative a resynthesis of Love, I think we can look at one of three ways:
Unconditional Love: Argumentatively, not sound – For “unconditional” within itself is a condition.
Perfect Love: (Birth of Agnosticism) “Perfect,” being subjective – implies its fallibility because philosophy is subjective in nature, leaving “perfect” love to be defined inherently by the individual.
Pure Love: Pure love to me is the best description of all three. Pure Love, is the type of love that breaks down walls, a genuine love that can be felt. A love that is the conundrum within the current framework of Christianity, For a God who loves his children, is the same who condemns them.
Without choosing to define the applicative nature of love to a degree or framework that is inherently disingenuous, let me offer a literary framework relative to language.
There are “Antonyms,” and “Synonyms.”
Relative to discourse this describes opposites, and similarities – respectively.
Elder Bruce R. McConkie (1915–85) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles stated:
“In the beginning God gave Adam a language that was pure, perfect, and undefiled. This Adamic language, now unknown, was far superior to any tongue which is presently extant.
In attempt to understand the division of language in an attempt to reunify it, let me offer a simple solution:
Relative to Love, relative to all Light: There cannot be any opposition within the mind of God:
Simply, Love cannot create hate, and Light cannot create Darkness. Although I suppose, opposition is needed for growth, and progression – God is not the author of hate or darkness.
Within the context of the English language let me highlight a few things:
“Synonyms.” “Sin-nonyms.” Anything less or similar than Love, is a synonym or of a lesser-degree.
So I simply postulate:
Love -> Synonym -> Antonym.
