“For the layman, as well as for the majority of the physicists in their less sober, or metaphysical, moments, 'space' is 'emotionally' newtonian and an 'absolute void', which, of course, being 'absolute nothingness', cannot have objective existence, by definition. For Einstein, 'space-time' is, semantically, 'fulness', not 'emptiness', and, in his language, he does not need any term like 'ether', as his 'plenum', structurally, covers the ground, without his committing himself to a definite two-valued mechanistic ether. The confusion of orders of abstractions, from which we all suffer, is semantic, and is due to disregard of the structure and role of language. If we accept a non-el language of space-time, structurally we deal with fulness, and we should not use the term 'space', as its old semantic implications are 'emptiness', and so are very confusing. The 'sensation' of Einstein's declaration amounts to the fact that the sub-microscopic fulness ('space') is more important than a few kinks or concentrations of that fulness ('matter'), - a fact which science has established, and which is quite obvious.”

“..but if it does occur, then anyone can comprehend that above us and below us, outside of ourselves and deep within ourselves, there is a universe, the one and only, which is not identical with the sky looming above us overhead, because that universe is not made of stars and planets and suns and galaxies, because that universe is not a picture, it cannot be seen, it doesn't even have a name, for it is so much more precious than anything that could have a name, and that is why it is such a joy to me that I can practice Seiobo; Seiobo is the emissary who arrives and says I am not the desire for peace, I am peace itself; Seiobo arrives and says do not be afraid, for the universe of peace is not the rainbow of yearning; the universe, the real universe— already exists.”

“الفلسفة مكتوبة في الكتاب الأكبر، كتاب الكون، والذي يواجهنا مفتوحا بشكل دائم لأعيننا، ولكن هذا الكتاب لا يمكن فهمه قبل أن نتعلم لغته أولا ثم نقرأه بعد ذلك، والكون مكتوب بلغة الرياضيات، وصفاتها كالدوائر، المثلثات، الأشكال الهندسية الأخرى التي بدونها يستحيل على البشر فهم كلمة واحدة من هذا الكتاب، من دون تلك اللغة سوف نتخبط في متاهة مظلمة!”

“Happiness emits positive energy into the universe and Sadness emits negative. Energy is contagious. Whether we realise it or not we are impacted by happiness or sadness of others or "the energies of the Universe". Hence let us traverse away from pulling people down and making them unhappy, to instead showing them their blessings. Let us all pray for our collective happiness.”
