„Basically, we must now say, there is only spirit. Matter is, so to speak, the slag of the spiritual. In our limited human perception, we regard this slag—as we can grasp it with our hands—as far more important than the spiritually alive. But in fact, it must be recognized: Ultimately, there is nothing that exists, nothing that exists by itself. There is only change, transformation, processes. Against this background, we can say: At every moment, the world is newly created. Paradigm of the living!“
Hans-Peter DürrHans-Peter Dürr describes reality as spirit and change, where matter is merely the slag of the spiritual.
Hans-Peter Dürr was a German physicist and essayist.
This thought reflects the spiritual nature of reality and constant change.

Hans-Peter Dürr was a German physicist and essayist. He served several times on the directorate of the Max Planck Institute for Physics and worked closely with Werner Heisenberg for many years. Later, he increasingly focused on questions of epistemology and social policy.

And so, after my investigations into the atom, I declare this: There is no such thing as matter in itself.
All matter comes into being and persists only through a force—a force that sets the particles of the atom into vibration and binds them together as the minutest solar system of the cosmos. Yet, since neither an intelligent nor an eternal force exists within the vast expanse of the universe—for humanity has failed to devise the long-sought perpetuum mobile—we must posit behind this force a conscious, intelligent spirit. This spirit is the primal source of all matter. It is not the visible, transient matter that constitutes the real, the true, the actual—for without the spirit, matter would not exist at all—but rather the invisible, immortal spirit that is the ultimate truth! Yet, since spirit alone cannot exist either, and every spirit belongs to a being, we are compelled to assume the existence of spiritual beings. And since these beings cannot arise from themselves but must be created, I do not shy away from naming this mysterious creator as all civilized peoples of the earth have called Him in earlier millennia: God! Thus, the physicist, tasked with the study of matter, steps from the realm of the material into the realm of the spirit. And with that, our work concludes, and we must entrust our inquiry to the hands of philosophy."

It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental character. But no one can deny that mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience, and all else is remote inference."

Their ‘form’ is ‘emptiness’ referring to itself in a kind of cognitive short-circuit... [They] are names we give to certain configurations of subjective experience, not independent entities out there."

Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter… we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter."

With the pathetic grin of hubris stamped on our foolish faces, we carefully unwrap the package and then proceed to throw away its contents whileb proudly storing the empty box on the altar of our ontology. What a huge stash of empty boxes have we accumulated! Idols of stupidity they are; public reminders of a state of affairs that would be hilarious if it weren't tragic."

Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork"Some people think God created the universe. Some people think nothing created the universe, which is the funniest guess and the nothing people make fun of the God people. They say, God doesn't exist. I'm like, okay, maybe. But you know what? Definitely doesn't exist. Nothing. That's the defining characteristic of nothing is that it doesn't exist. So what are we talking about? Either you think it's God, something you can't see, touch, taste, photograph, and science can't prove, or you think it's nothing, something you can't see. Touch, taste, photograph, and science can't prove. But I think we can all agree if nothing, if you are nothing, sometimes spontaneously erupts into everything. That's a pretty goddamn magical fucking nothing you guys and ask.
Ask the nothing people, what happens when you die? They'll tell you nothing. You go into nothing. I'm like, you mean you merge back with your creator? That's heaven, bitch."
