St. Catherine of Siena and Einstein
Bernie Siegel, M.D., Heaven’s good friend, sent me an article years ago about the 14th century mystic, Catherine of Siena, who posed questions to God and then wrote passages that were God’s replies. Back in those days, there were critics too who were suspicious of her.
The critics asked her: “How do you know this is from God?”
Catherine said she could recognize it was from God because it produced gladness, hunger for virtue, humility and charity.
Critics asked: “How do you know those are reliable signs?”
She answered: “Because God told me so.”
“How do you know it was God?” they asked.
“The experience produced gladness, humility, charity…”

And now this brings me to Einstein. It is interesting to note that Einstein came to his theories through his right brain intuition, not logical thinking. He had great faith in what came to him. He knew it was Truth even when the world did not agree.
When asked how he had such faith in his insights, he said:
“Because of their simplicity and beauty.”
And where did Einstein’s insights come from?
Are not beauty and simplicity God’s touch?
And what was the unified field that Einstein so sought to understand if not God? Einstein knew that the mysterious was the greatest of all.
He said that man was here, didn’t ask to be here, didn’t know how he got here, didn’t know what he was here for, and yet…
Out of this not knowing, there came an Einstein.
And a St. Catherine of Siena.
And you.
