Einstein’s solution to peace of mind and world peace

          When someone is referred to as “an Einstein,” we know they mean that person has smarts.  When smart people talk, I listen.  When Einstein tells us his most important insight, I am fully attentive. 

Our world faces a crisis as yet unperceived by those possessing power to make great decisions for good or evil.  The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe. … a new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels.   The New York Times; May 25, 1946

Virtually every religion, moral system, and spiritual guru emphasizes the importance of unconditional love.  The universal wisdom, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” suggests that until we learn to fulfill our own love needs, it will be difficult to love others.  It is hard to give away what we don’t own! 

Welcome to stren #54: Why make love our most important enthusiasm?  In prior strens, we have discussed the process of freeing our will power from instinct and tradition to assume responsibility for our personal well-being.  Who and what we are, and how we are to think, feel, and act are first determined by endogenous and exogenous forces over which we have no control.  For simplicity, I have called these forces instinct and tradition. 

Welcome to stren #55.  This stren provides an exploration of love.  The more you understand about love, the easier it will be to strengthen your love creation skills.  A side benefit is that you will learn how to become your own best friend.  The testimonial of others, personal experience, and observation verify the importance of love to a fulfilling life. 

Welcome to stren #56.  Today I want to consider the relationship between love and sex.  A significant source of our problems is mistaking erotic love for mature love.  Love and sex have distinct qualities.  They can be experienced together or separately.  Together, they can be glorious and mutually enhancing.  Though our language commonly associates them, like health, wealth, and happiness, they need not go together.
