This morning I came across a quote in an excellent essay by Daniel Christian Wahl, frequently attributed to the renowned modern theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. Wahl did not misquote him, but it seems to be often misquoted when cited in full.

Many analogies can be used to help describe our nature, reality, the mind, and consciousness. Here are a few using waves.
The human mind itself may create the illusion of separation from God or Ultimate Reality, and all other dualities. But how? And why?
