ORIGINAL: Aneirin
I think for the majority of us, we have no idea of our potential, what we are as living things beyond the mechanical and chemical, the things that can be measured by the specialists in those fields. My feeling is we are more than just a biochemical machine, but thinking along the lines of science, the study of what can be measured has blinded us to the more we can be.
We hear so many people of all levels of intelligence, all cultures, and beliefs of past and present, people who talk of the immeasureable and by science not seen, but should we dismiss these things because science is the worlds current god.
At one time science included the study of the immeasurable, the spirit and science occupied the same area, surely that which many discuss, the hairy fairy mumbo jumbo should have a place, as it is that that concerns most of us, the thought of the feeling and what we as humans might really be.
I suppose a question could be asked, when a person describes the fantastical, is that description defined by thought or feeling ?
I can not say this enough... If you havent read that book you really should. You are spot on with what they think as well.
The Church was everything for a time. People were tied to it's yoke. Unquestioning. Then the upheaval came and Science and industry became the religion of the day. ~ again to the exclusion of all else. I think we are trying to move towards combining the two so that we are more balanced. It is going to be as hard of a road for us as it was when they switched from religion to science I believe.
Science is just a way to measure, quantify, and explain what was previously unexplainable. Atoms, and molecules were all magical things once upon a time. However these great scientific minds now think there are no new things.. no new magics that they can explain. They are in the same rut that religion was in at the time of it's being overtaken.
Science started out explaining the magical, and the totaly unseen in alchemy. That has been "debunked" and physics has taken it's place.
I think if these scientists realized how close to alchemy the Unified Theory is... they would run in horror from it I bet.
"I suppose a question could be asked, when a person describes the fantastical, is that description defined by thought or feeling ?"
I suppose it will depend on who you are speaking with to be honest. One persons fantastical is another persons every day working.
