Michael Nikoletseas > Michael's Quotes

“There is I believe the imperative necessity that understanding myself is a prerequisite for even asking questions about consciousness and God. Understanding myself and understanding God is one question. Any discussion on the existence of something including my existence or the existence of God that bypasses the ancient question of what being self is, is nebulous. (Deus Absconditus - The Hidden God)”
― Michael M Nikoletseas

“Knowledge of the mechanisms of the brain as an instrument
all the way down the reductionistic range is useful not only
in implementing applications, but also most importantly in
the evolution of new, more parsimonious concepts. It is
evident that success of a particular search depends entirely
on our understanding of our tools, mechanical and cognitive.
God will remain hidden as long as we eschew this
requirement.
(Deus Absconditus - The Hidden God)”
― Michael M. Nikoletseas, Deus Absconditus - The Hidden God

“understanding God rationally would entail distancing from experiencing God, the magnitude of this estrangement positively correlating with the degree of progress in science at a given time."
(Deus Absconditus - The Hidden God)”
