Science is the study of the natural world. The spiritual is by definition, supernatural. You can't provide physical evidence for an intangible, invisible and inaudible 'aspect'. |

Do you guys think that spiritual things can be explained by science? Because it could be just a north-American cultural understanding. We don't even acknowledge the spiritual side to even exist, really. |

You should read "DMT: the Spirit Molecule." its a scientific attempt to explain the psychedelic entheogenic phenomenon associated with ayahuasca, DMT, etc. You should read about people's visual experiences with DMT, some say its like being in another dimension. |

Good poinr, but the spiritual world influences the natural world. By studying the natural world through science, we will eventually discover what the spiritual world is all about, things will add up and science will find what it was searching for all this time... God ^^ |

I was always under the impression that science was looking for consistent models of natural phenomena... |

It depends on your usage of the term "spiritual". In the US of A it seems to be strongly linked to religion and the supernatural. Here in Germany, the same word is mostly linked to the supernatural, seldomly to religion, but often even only to specific aspects of the natural. |

Prove me wrong then. |

Well, I wouldn't know about that energy... |

As far as I am concerned, there is no "Spiritual realm" any more than there is a "Bannana Realm". It is absurd, unfound, and frankly annoying as hell. |

I can no more prove you wrong than I can prove that I have rather good visualization when I close my eyes. Doesn't mean I don't. |

I'm not arguing with that. I'm not talking about realms. Just specific states of mind and specific mental experiences that are outside the norm. |

Oneironaut oyu just proved my point: Those mysteries CREATE "spirituality"; once we figure them out then what? |

Why wouldn't they be? |

The simplest answer would be because I'm not so arrogant as to assume that we have discovered every force in the universe, and am able to admit that, in all likely-hood, that are plenty that we have yet to identify. |

What the hell are you rambling about? I don't think we are communicationg right... |

Now now, no need to get nasty, Seis. Whenever you need me to clarify something for you, all you have to do is ask. |
