Yes the angel appeared only to me. Yes I was alone at the time.
No I didn't take pictures (rude).

If you still interpret your visions through a distorted, Neo-Christian lens, or a single belief system, while you sift truths, you're simply doing it wrong.
Why talk to angels, if you can just get to the actual problem? They never have anything interesting to say, anyway, except "FEAR NOT!" or "BE VERY AFRAID AND OBEY!" and quite frankly, that gets old quickly.

Yeah, right? How do they even understand their own position, if they never experienced it in practice?
In theory, I am a master carpenter, even though I never practiced anything, but IN THEORY I proved every carpenter ever wrong and don't understand, why they keep laughing at me, while I smash the hammer into my face. So, in theory I am also a great philosopher, even though I wouldn't get Kant, if he gave me a very categoric slap and the advice to get my shit together.

Einstein was definitely a mystic. That is the only way.

Right? God is cool, he just didn't like raw randomness being part of the fundamental groundwork. "God doesn't play dice" or something, I believe.

His concept of "god" was the same as Spinoza's, not as an actual conscious agent responsible for the universe, but a poetically personalised description of the "will" (read: nature) of the universe... Hence "god (reality) doesn't play dice (incorporate randomnesss)"

The metaphysics of his and his colleagues basically killed the materialist paradigm. They all knew exactly wtf was up. Check out quotes about God or spirituality from him and more of his colleagues!

No. Marriage is a sham.

Wait there’s a difference between the two? Isn’t metaphysics just mysticism for people who identify with the word “rational”?

Basically. There’s a difference between attaining the “god’s eye view” from reading books vs meditating or taking shrooms tho.
