This is how you translate Einstein's quote above?
That says a lot about you, Mother.  Einstein was
very much the "heretic", you know.  He rebelled
against formal education almost throughout his
entire young school years and even into college.
He wasn't saying, "Burn the heretics!"  No.  He
was just seeing in Michael Faraday much that he
saw in himself.  And this caused him to ponder
over just how much a formal education can saddle
a person with so much mental baggage that any
creative/inventive thought cannot rise into any
level of awareness/consciousness.

Anybody can overcome this if they try.  It only
takes being willing to trust oneself.  If you can
bring yourself to trust yourself, then you too can
raise your consciousness level to greater and
greater heights, equaling and exceeding the
achievements of bygone days and of dead
geniuses and poet-warriors.

So the only question is...

Are you fearless enough to trust yourself?

happy days and...
   starry starry nights!
