Synthesis of Science & Spirituality
Important documentation extracts on this subject:
There is increasing awareness that our society is approaching a "turning point", a shift away from the mechanistic worldview of classical physics. The emergence of modern physics in the 20th century triggered a revolution in thinking which initiated a fundamental paradigm shift in our understanding of the nature of matter and its relation to the human mind and heralded the emergence of new forms of cultural integration. The proposed "deep science", which integrates spiritual modes of knowing with scientific empiricism, can produce a more balanced, ecological vision of the cosmos. (http://www.uvm.edu)
“Spirituality exists wherever we struggle with the issue of how our lives fit into the greater cosmic scheme of things. This is true even when our questions never give way to specific answers or give rise to specific practices such as prayer or meditation. We encounter spiritual issues every time we wonder where the universe comes from, why we are here, or what happens when we die. We also become spiritual when we become moved by values such as beauty, love, or creativity that seem to reveal a meaning or power beyond our visible world. An idea or practice is "spiritual" when it reveals our personal desire to establish a felt-relationship with the deepest meanings or powers governing life.” Robert C. Fuller… Professor of Religious Studies at Bradley University, and is the author of 'Naming the Antichrist: The History of an American Obsession' and 'Alternative Medicine in American Religious Life.'
Our take on this subject:
A synthesis is a ‘considered’ act of relating
not merely quoting articles and stating…..
Like most posts and sites on the web boast about
a real synthesis is …not easy to accomplish …no doubt
But let us try to reach a spiritual agreement…if not scientific !
to find a connection………..things would then be terrific !!!
