Celestial Alphabet (Spirituality) VS Terra Alphabet (Science)
“We are human being who tramps on earth, on the Terra, on this physical realm. But don’t we forget that we are also celestial being who meant to transcend to sky, to the Caelus, on the etheric realm.”
The notion that science and spirituality are mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.
“‘Spirit’ comes from the Latin word ‘to breath’. What we breathe is air, which is certainly matter, however thin. Despite usage to the contrary, there is no necessary implication in the word ‘spiritual’ that we are talking of anything other than matter, or anything outside the realm of science.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light years in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy,
beauty and subtlety of life,
our emotion in the presence of great art,
or music,
or literature,
or of acts of examplary selfless courage,
then that soaring feeling of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual.
The very act of understanding is a celebration of joining, merging, even if on a very modest scale, with the magnificence of the Cosmos.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality.
The notion that science and spirituality are mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.”
