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

This thread keeps getting better!!! Ska, everything you just said in both of your posts above... BINGO!!! As for angel/ demon/ sightings and alien abduction experiences, Sagan explored the possibility they might be SP. Lots of similarities. I think I need to read some of this Strassman dude's work.

Juroara, you never cease to amaze me!

A thought I had today -- this idea of a mega-consciousness that each of us is a facet of... it could be the subconscious we're experiencing as a vast over-consciousness. I think of the conscious mind as a sort of interface allowing inner consciousness to interact with the physical world. As an interface, it's obviously smaller than the entire mind (the rest of it consisting of the subconscious and the unconscious). The subC has a lot more info at its disposal, and unless we're dreaming our connection to it is very tenuous and vague.

Actually i think a lot of paranormal experiences can be explained by this. The subC apparently remembers everything (?) whereas the conscious mind with its much more limited capacity is much more selective with what it stores... so suddenly getting a flash of intuition could be simply a newsflash from the subC. Telepathy, predicting the future, synchronicity (in some cases)... could all be merely info from the subC filtering into conscious awareness.
