“Rational thinking which is free from assumptions ends therefore in mysticism. To relate oneself in the spirit of reverence for life to the multiform manifestations of the will-to-live which together constitute the world is ethical mysticism. All profound world-view is mysticism, the essence of which is just this: that out of my unsophisticated and naïve existence in the world there comes, as a result of thought about self and the world, spiritual self-devotion to the mysterious infinite Will which is continuously manifested in the universe.” ThinkingWorldEndsSelfTogetherSpiritualSpiritUniverseResultsViewsExistenceEssenceInfiniteProfoundOneselfDevotionRationalMysteriousRelateManifestationAssumptionMysticismEthicalReverenceRational ThinkingWorld ViewReverence For LifeWill To Live Author:Albert Schweitzer
