Hello Marta,

I am very sympathetic to your goal of getting scientists and spiritualists together. It’s not fair though to ask those on the spiritual side to be the ones who try to become more “understandable.” I don’t understand “dark energy” since it’s makes up most of the universe, and yet we can’t “see” it, but can only infer its presence. It makes my wave function collapse. And what the heck is that anyway?!?

I’m just being facetious. There is a real difficulty in describing spiritual experiences, that scientists have been running up against for a century now when they try to explain what they are talking about. I’d love if you took a look at my piece here on Medium on the subject. I chose to quote scientists about their difficulties in describing what the are talking about, in order to illustrate why spiritualists traditionally speak in such a strange manner (mysticism). It might add something to what you’ve written here.
