What is science?

And I would say that theology is also not necessarily spiritual.

The word science comes from the Latin scire (to know) and sciens (knowing).

So spiritual science is knowledge which comes through spiritual attainment. This seems as valid a use of the word as the more conventional meanings of science.

I can imagine we should be cautious. At times technical things can go way over my head. I tend to go by "feel" vs. what is "written". Science goes what is written. It takes all types to make the world go round.

The question is, how Spiritual would we be without form? No forgiveness, no empathy, no sympathy, no learning of lessons, no Spiritual development. Love could be pretty mundane because everybody would Love everybody......

And in the Spiritual sense the truth is relative to one's own agenda as one creates one's own reality. Spirituality has a propensity for taking words and understandings from other fields and changing their definitions to suit- Spirituality does the same for Spiritual words.


A lie is the truth if you believe it to be.

Hello,

Science; observes, evaluates, suggests and considers possibilities, through these comes up with how the pieces go together and inspires to explore more.

Some of what science presents is taken as true and can be experienced. Some of what was thought to be true has been shown to be not the case.

Perspective seems to be in some fields according to being here on Earth, what is understood, where we have been, and where we may be going.

Some scientist may say thier way and or perspectives are facts, while other may say they are potentials/possibilities. Some may be humble enough to say they don't know.

In comparison to what may be termed "spiritual" is there much difference? Perhaps in the approach and focus?

Just some thoughts.
