Spirituality is the "What?" and psychology is the "How?"

Yes, both spirituality and psychology deal with the individual Self, not the collective/group of Selfs. However they try to get the Self to join the collective/group of Self's.

I do not share your faith in the findings of science, which still has much to learn.
And whatever may have been said, states of consciousness and states of mind are very different. But we will never agree on this subject.

This u have repeated in many times to imply spiritual people as schizophrenic. Closeness in brain in no way determines they are same . Many things remain close but are diametrically opposite . e.g. Oxygen (which sustains fire ) and hydrogen (inflammable itself ) coming close and form water particle which douses fire ! . So closeness in brain area to derive / imply some conclusion is incorrect and invalid in science which u seems to so proud. |

I highly doubt Greenslade is implying or making a generalization that spiritual people are schizophrenic.

Hi MikeS80,
Thanks for clarification and appreciate your response .
I will be the most happy person if he really does not mean that. I have read this quite a few times in his post about spirituality and schizophrenia originating in same part of the brain . I really could not deduce any other meaning . But as I said I am very happy to be wrong if spirituality and schizophrenia are not implied to have any inherent connection . The connection if any at best can be random / erratic. |

I agree with this. Just sayin'.
Not that Greenslade was implying that.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Thanks Miss H for clarifying it . I am very happy to be wrong in matters like this .If Greenslade feels hurt with my comments I can express my regrets for the same. I have no qualms accepting my mistake to him if he agrees to all your assessments . |

It's all about symbiotic relationships, internally the ego and the self are in a relationship while the the individual and the group are also in a symbiotic relationship. The group dynamics is determined by the interaction of collective selves. |

The good thing about science is that it's not based an just any old belief. |
