CLASSIC QUOTES

“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness.

Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard

as existing, postulates consciousness.”

Max Planck - Nobel prize winning theoretical physicist who originated

quantum theory.

MAX PLANCK

ALBERT EINSTEIN

JAMES JEANS

“The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter.

Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial, mental and spiritual".

Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans.

“What we call matter, is merely energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to our senses”

“The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things

or facts.”

BASKARAN PILLAI
