The coming integration of spirituality and science
Edmond H. Wollmann
SCIENCE AND
SPIRITUALITY
A critical level of confusion permeates the world today Our faith in
the spiritual components of life-in the vital reality of consciousness,
of values, and of God-is eroding under the relentless attack of
scientific materialism. On the one hand, we welcome the benefits
derived from a science that assumes the materialist worldview. On
the other hand, this prevailing worldview fails to satisfy our
intuitions about the meaningfulness of life.
During the past four hundred years, we have gradually adopted
the belief that science can be built only on the notion that every
thing is made of matter-of so-called atoms in the void. We have
come to accept materialism dogmatically, despite its failure to ac-
count for the most familiar experiences of our daily lives. In short,
we have an inconsistent worldview. Our predicament has fueled the
demand for a new paradigm-a unifying worldview that will integrate mind
and spirit into science. No new paradigm, however, has
surfaced.
Amit Goswami "Self Aware Universe"
That philosophy is the integral one. All truths blending in harmony, not
one truth forced paranoically.
"The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's
mind about nothing - to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts,
not a select party." John Keats
"That is a prime question, I would say, of this hour
in the bringing up of children. That is the problem,
indeed, that was sitting beside me that day at the lunch
counter. In that case, both teacher and parent were on
the side of an already outdated illusion; and generally
-or so it looks to me-most guardians of society have
a tendency in that direction, asserting their authority
not for, but against the search for disturbing truths.
The Impact of Science on Myth
(1961) Joseph Campbell "Myths To Live By"
"THERE IS A FROZEN SEA WITHIN US. Philosophy is an axe.
Everything you believe is questionable. How deeply have you questioned
it? The uncritical acceptance of beliefs handed down to you by parents,
teachers, politicians, and religious leaders is dangerous. Many of these
beliefs are simply false. Some of them are lies, designed to control
you. Even when what has been handed down is true, it is not your truth.
To merely accept anything without questioning it is to be somebody
else's puppet, a second-hand person.
Beliefs can be handed down. Knowledge can perhaps be handed down. Wisdom
can never be handed down. The goal of philosophy is wisdom. Trying to
hand down philosophy is unphilosophical.
Wisdom requires questioning what is questionable. Since everything is
question-able, wisdom requires questioning everything. That is what
philosophy is: the art of questioning everything." "The Experience of
Philosophy", 2nd edition, Kolak & Martin, 1993
There is a positive and negative way to approach anything. There need be
no confusion over what constitutes an intelligent approach.
Positive is inclusive and negative is segregative.
The Essential structure of all philosophies
Positive manifestations+ -Negative manifestations
Positive action Negative re-action
allowance judgements/separation
preference/integration playing not to lose
winning/playing to win playing to lose
playing not to win losing
Where your attitude fits on this chart determines the quality of your
life.

open. If it doesn't STAY open, the collision with reality may be
traumatic indeed.

This explains your lack of a grip on reality very well.
