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 ?
