"Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness. "Lao-tzu

uh..., you posted this same thing a couple weeks ago and threatened to dispense insight. still waiting on that high-level dispensation brough-ham.....,
as it stands right now, you have no real criticism to level at the practice of scientific explanation and verification of esoteric practices - in fact - it seems preposterous on the face of it that you would even pursue that angle.
My dear friend CNu, unfortunately your rather agile intellect is still under the intoxicating spell and seductive flattery of Hellenist philosophy and science, which gives the human mind the status of God and makes God subjective to its self-serving version of theology.
I have no criticism to level at the practice of scientific explanation. However, I laugh at the dogmatic and arrogantly ignorant assumption that anything that cannot yet be explained by science, either does not exist or is not worthy of consideration.
Science is nothing more than the religion of the ego.
Powerful, yet incomplete.
CNu asked for insight....
"Science is nothing more than the religion of the ego. Powerful, yet incomplete."
Consider it dispensed.
bofe-a-y'all know better than that, science is the religion of those unwilling to be hoodwinked and bamboozled by unfalsifiable claims.
but thas alright, science doesn't hate on cheesy new age bunk with anywheres near the consistency with which new age cheesers hate on science.
kinda like obamamandius doesn't have to hate on Billary.....,
LOL @ bofe-a-yall. Nice comeback. Too bad its so short sighted.
This may be elementary but sometimes knowledge is simplistic...
CNu, to whom or what do you attribute all of those "infalliable" scientific principles? You think they just appeared one day? Or quite possibly are they the product of something even more orderly and infalliable than your most beloved equation?
And to Jasai, do you take issue with church or church people? Just so that I understand your position going forward.
rj,
Where did you see/find/read "infallible" into anything I've ever written?
I wrote unfalsifiable - and took for granted that you wouldn't get it twisted.
There is no religion more sublime than that practiced by those engaged in the relentless interrogation of reality.
I attribute intelligence and consciousness to that level of terrestrial organization where purposefulness is first observed.. Knowing this gives me an understanding and certainty about what religion purports to accomplish.
Science and religion have never been incompatible with one another except under those circumstances where authoritarian frauds usurp the religious impulse to suppress the relentless probity of the scientifically-minded.
i take issue with willfully and knowingly thwarting peoples inherent ability to Know by asserting under the guise of religion, that without "religious intervention" they somehow can not.
as the former girlfriend of a very powerful religious family in a nearby city, i submit that for the most part it is a sham, a control mechanism. and to be clear, not the premise but the modern execution of that premise.
as the former girlfriend of a very powerful religious family in a nearby city....
we can swap stories one day!
CNu, perhaps then we dont disagree.
