Favorite Quotes: "God is simple. Everything else is complex. Do not seek absolute values in the relative world of nature." my notes To me, this means that knowing God (or nature/the universe, however you think of it) is pretty simple and just entails acknowledging your unity with it and existing as a connected part of a greater whole. Although it sounds simple, it takes a lot of practice to master. However, things get complicated when you try to seek "absolute" answers to what cannot be answered. This seeking actually distances you from true oneness with God/nature/the universe because the true answers are within.
