What I mean by. reconcile is science and spirituality are more times than not (at least in my experience) seen to be at odds with each other. My question is how do you make sense of this |
Quote:
I also like this definition of my question, which is also what I meant |
Quote:
Yes, so can you answer the question! :smile: |
Quote:
well maybe you could explain what you mean by your example first before I answer? I'm a bit confused as to what you mean |

I echo Shivani regarding Sacred Geometry and Quantum studies. In fact, I'm generally a very analytical / logical person by nature, and I came into spirituality (or back into it) after reviewing both of these topics in recent years. I love science (in it's true "question everything" form), but not so fond of those who scream "BECAUSE SCIENCE!" and expect the conversation to be over. No, my friend, the conversation has just begun! :D |

...Emotion is one of the forces by which people or groups revolve around each other and change. Gravity provides a stable platform for this, being the attraction of manifestations (mass) to manifestation (mass). Quote:
And finally... "Gravity" in either context is a relationship between one entity and another. The difference between science and spirituality is the context of that relationship. This is because science and spirituality are 'Realities' only in terms of perspective - that which is cognitively apprehended in terms of each specific relationship. The 'reality' springs from the minds construction of that context and cognition. Both the scientific and spiritual 'realities' are really only constructions of the mind, each 'constructed' from it's specific cognitive perspective. |

hm, thanks for the clarification! this is all so interesting. I really appreciate everyone's input. |

Since neither has provided a 'complete' rendition of reality, there are rare times they seem to be at odds. This resolves itself by more exploration and further understanding. Neither has addressed 'how' anything 'can exist'. Perhaps you mean science institutions and religious institutions are at odds?? |

The meaning was simply an attempt to reconcile science and spirituality. Gravity was just the first thing that came to mind when thinking about air in water. As air and water are two of the elements of life then perhaps further investigation can be made adding the other two, fire and earth. And as it's Sunday I like the idea of the Easter Ascension, when our Lord Jesus Christ returned from death and rose from the Earth into Heaven. The idea that the stone was rolled away from the mouth of the tomb like the moon and the sun at total eclipse has a wonderful symbolic resonance. |
I'm more inclined to see things as only science, especially as regards to the body. It's as if anything that people do not understand they call it "spirituality" as though that's an explanation. Granted people have different names for things like "soul" "consciousness" the "body" itself, celestial or physical, but once the conversion is done into energy either "potential or kinetic" as Einstein started to do then things fall into place. Existence is a form of science even if only the result of "joining the dots" or backward engineering. Consequently for me there has to be a creator as the way existence and the body work together is so complex that I do not believe that it could be due to random process.
