Letter from Einstein to his daughter: Love is the most Powerful Force in the Universe

I often find inspiration in the scientist Albert Einsteins quotes.

My favorites are these:

 

On the need to shift to a higher level of consciousness:

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

 

On the creative power of attitude:

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.”

 

On the fact that science is not a fixed Truth – we keep evolving our understanding of everything:

“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”

 

Apparently he even said:

 

“One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike — and yet it is the most precious thing we have.”

Source: American Institute of Physics

 

On why diversity is essential for innovation:

“It is important for the common good to foster individuality: for only the individual can produce the new ideas which the community needs for its continuous improvement and requirements — indeed, to avoid sterility and petrifaction.”

 

 

This letter to his (step)-daughter is probably the most important manual for the 21st Century:

 

…”When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.

This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.

Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it.

Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.

Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.

For love we live and die.

Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation.

If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.

Your father Albert Einstein

 

Modern leadership training – or any other training for that matter – should aim at unleashing this untapped resource.

It is the only resource no one can take away from anyone as long as the heart beats.

It is likely the most effective resource at keeping our inner and outer immune systems healthy and strong.

And it is in it´s essence, the solution to all of our problems.

If we learn how to let Love flow freely, from and to us, we become invincible.

My dear goddess-colleague Schikoba Sommer said to me: “Sofar we have been trying to beat evil with more evil such as force and war.

The only thing we have not yet tried is Love”.

I believe she is right, and this is why my leadership trainings take place in an energy full of Love and Light that is contageous and make participants flourish and able to pass on the missing ingredient, Einstein referred to.

In our illuminary leadership lab, we are often astonished at what miracles and magic we experience when we apply “the most powerful force in the universe” from the inside-out.

It cannot be faked though, so practise is what brings forth Mastery.

And any type of crisis is a catalyst, because it opens the heart.

May Humanity succeed at creating lots of atomic Love-bombs that can spread the power of Love at the speed of Light.

 

PS: Regarding the controversy surrounding this letter: “‘The writings were not donated by Einstein himself, nor his daughter, Lieserl. The letters were donated by Margot Einstein, the scientist’s stepdaughter,’ claims Diana Kormos – Buchwald, editor – in – chief at the Einstein Papers Project.

From Corona Crisis to Opportunity with Optimism

Meet Louise Opprud Jakobsen, futurist specialised in new technology, digitalization, NeuroScience and innovation explain our endless and wonderful capabilities to adapt to changes and adjust to the future.

When we push the pause button in a machine, it stops. But for human beings, we actually start to rethink, become inspired and crave for learning. Like now, when the economy has frozen, the machine has completely stopped. But for us humans, we have to take this time as an opportunity to think and use it in a very constructive way.

Working with technology, Louise shares ways to be relevant. To her, extreme flexibility is a core strength that we all need to muster. Disruptions within technology are always there, and that’s why we need to develop the ability to adapt and adopt new ways. We have to be radically creative.

Crises are opportunities to find new strengths. Louise remembers mentors saying, never waste a crisis. So how can we not waste this crisis? What can we learn from it? How can we gear ourselves to stay relevant amid this?

As humans, we are more flexible than we realize. But we won’t until we’re forced. History and the more recent events in the past months have shown us that we are capable of digitizing and rebooting our economies and societies.

Our brains may not be wired for lots of change; most of the time, they are happy with habits and everything familiar. So taking an entire curriculum from analog to digital real quick is huge, seeming to be next to impossible. But we’ve done it in the last two months! This demonstrates our ability waiting to be tapped. And Louise encourages us to embrace this opportunity.

Who may have a difficult time adapting?  Those that haven’t got that core balance and strength, use your resources to take the pivot and refit to the current situation. Build optimism in your core. The question should be: ‘How can we make it?’; not ‘Can we make it?’. There are always new ways if we just keep looking.

As Louise worked in Neuroscience, she discovered that creativity is all about optimism. If we are happy, we are 300% more innovative and therefore, resilient. And we can shift our brains to being happy–by igniting thoughts of gratitude, hope and thankfulness. And this is the exact same mindset that we need in facing this crisis and opportunity.

Pioneering Leadership with Sustainability

Everything in the world starts with a deep understanding of the inner perspective. This is how Lars Borgmann, pioneering Leadership Developer and Consultant, specialized in “The DNA of Sustainability” explains personal leadership influenced by therapy– a tool to maximise the opportunity this crisis is presenting.

We tend to look at sustainability as an outside or external matter but inner or internal sustainability actually demonstrates how interconnected we are to each other and to our world. And seeing this super interconnectedness is very critical. Lars explains this lens with this example: people in different places getting infected with the virus VS our earth getting sick and infected. But nothing in the mainstream conversation focuses on the immune system and the strategy of building the inside to effect the outside. DNA is not just something we inherit, but also something we shape and reshape.

So for Lars, instead of getting occupied with panic media, we must take the time to reflect on our sustainability and resilience as a self-leadership tool.

Working with different organizations, Lars saw some recurring issues: we built up a society where people feel under stress from complexity, from the minutes and seconds and from the underlying fear and difficulty coping with and adapting to massive changes. And our Earth is screaming at us: we need less, we don’t need more. We are on the same boat.

Throughout his extensive experience in pioneering leadership, Lars observed that everyone loves development as long as we don’t have to change. Because we are afraid to move into the unknown. So how to be part of the solution? By confronting fear.

Take in and let go and trust that the more we let go, the more comes for us to take in. Embrace the new consciousness and create from there.

Staying Agile and Steady amid the Corona Crisis

Change and disruption was the name of the game in this era, but corona virus crisis?

Set a positive outlook towards the changes happening around us with Tune Hein, author, keynote speaker and  consultant specialised in disruption and change.

To him, this crisis might be a huge disruption but actually makes room for a lot of innovations. A lot of exciting things are coming up–if we only capture these changes and developments to deploy them and bring to our normal life after the crisis. It’s a great time to stop and think and reflect!

In his experience consulting for various business, private and public organizations, he shares that organizations have actually been finding a lot of surprises. And as leaders, we must be mindful of these and take these developments as the new normal.

In his book Disruption, he explains how the digital business model has been a must-have for everyone. Going digital does not necessarily decrease or lose relationships, it can actually increase real-time relationships and our sense of community. And these prove to be true very recently.

If we wonder, why organizations become better at executing in times of crisis? He explains it’s because goals, processes are made more simple. We unload complexity, bureaucracy, among others, and see things are a lot better in SIMPLICITY. So leaders must ask, how do we maintain this even after the crisis?

Tune, who have extensively worked on bridging leadership gaps, sees that a lot of people are now supporting each other; a break from the competitor mindset– something that makes us feel a lot better despite the crisis. People are showing more compassion, something that might have been lacking in leadership relationships for so long.

For leaders, take this time to reflect and find clever solutions and the right road map forward.

What is the leadership that we’ll need post crisis? It’s the combination of being agile and steady at the same time. Shift the traditional driver for business from fear to purpose. Stop the autopilot. Think and capture developments for your organizations.

The Mechanical Engineer that intuitively became a forerunner for the 21st Century Leadership Paradigm

Meet Jørgen Bonde Eriksen, an engineer, who shows a living example of the new business paradigm:
he stopped working in the old ego-directed way because it gave him headaches.
He dropped all plans and strategies and started to listen to the consciousness of the company every day, allowing it to tell him what to do.
He regarded his main job to be present and connected to the Oneness consciousness and come from the heart.
What he experienced was that his company became a trendsetting success, now owning 90% of the market – with effortlessness.
“You can struggle by pushing your own will, or you can ride effortlessly on the waves of consciousness. If you tap into the wholeness in the world, everything is smooth but you have to move your attention away from the head and into your true self. We have learned a lot of things which prevent us from that so there are a lot of items to remove from the system.”

Do you know crisis?

Crisis hurts the soul and breaks hearts.

Crises send us into the unknown – without knowing whether we will ever come back whole.

Crises can hit our most sore areas and stop, weaken or paralyze us.

Crisis can be destructive.

In short, crisis often is a terrible experience, and therefore something we fear.

Unfortunately, however, crisis is not always something we choose consciously.

Often we are “thrown into” a crisis or “end up” in a crisis.

And what do we do then?

We are, of course, doing the best we have learned.

But even this best is not always enough to keep us floating.

In my own experience, you need help when you are in a crisis.

Massive help even.

You need to quickly gather other perspectives and competences than before.

“One can not solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it,” Einstein said.

If you want to get well through a crisis then you need to upgrade your awareness.

Aswell as your toolbox, mindset, habits, self-perception, life-sight and practice.

I know what I am talking about because I have experienced a crisis, when I lost my 7-year-old son after six months with highly aggressive incurable cancer.

It is 6 years ago and I learned more from this crisis than from any education, relationship, job or leadership position I have had.

Now I am ready to share what got me through, and how to go up instead of down from a crisis.

That’s why I’ve created a new course for you who know about crisis and would like to turn it into a quantum leap.

Contact me if you are interested in hearing more.

If you have experienced crisis, I would love to hear your questions or best tips in the comments below.

Best regards, Kirsten
