Thread: What does spirituality provide that science doesn't?

Juroara, you always surprise me and I find myself agreeing with everything you say.

The common belief is that all scientists are materialists or that science has proven that materialism is true. No, it hasn't. Newtonian science has thought that all things have material causes. Science only investigates material phenomenon. It uses material tools to observe material phenomenon. It only accepts objective results. And so it should. That is what lead science to be so great. And science is great! But now science has already learnt that matter is energy and that energy can't die. Science is learning about how consciousness affects energy and matter. Science is learning about how observation collapses a wave, etc. We no longer live in the Newtonian world. Well, it takes a long while for the masses to catch up. Heck, lots of people still don't even believe in evolution.

However, many scientists are spiritual, but very rarely religious. The assumption that consciousness comes from the brain is challenged because their are many many living creatures that don't have brains but display consciousness. Including plants.

Science has a lot to offer that spirituality doesn't, (technology)
and spirituality has a lot to offer that science doesn't.

Spirituality offers a technology of evolution of consciousness to free us from delusion and suffering by liberation of consciousness from the ego and from the self. Science may be able to offer that someday maybe, but it won't be any easier than it already is. More than likely science will just be able to verify it. Eventually spirituality may have nothing to offer that science could.

I think, if you are a seeker of truth, you should look everywhere. You should accept science and you should look within at your own consciousness. Erase the edges of your consciousness.
