Still on this same train of thought - the apparent widening gap between the so called advance of "technology" and the lack of advance of "spirituality".

For a long time - if not forever - science has set itself apart from spiritual matters or anything that presumed "faith" as an underlying starting point. It wanted to explain life and all that we know to exist and "bind" it to rigid laws of mathematics. I believe this CAN be done eventually but only when we really know WHAT we are trying to measure!! lol

Can a blind man envision the concept of distance - or a deaf man the sound of a bird???

Religion ALSO imposes its rigid laws opposing ANY need or exploration of the desire to know any of the whys or wherefores of our very existence other than to explain it away as "this is what was "TOLD" to us by God.

I think science in its effort to be totally alienated from anything non-tangible has actually done itself a disservice.

Science, in trying to explain the physical world we live in and Spirituality, in trying to explain the non-measurable forces we all feel - have in effect become polarities - each going off on a tangent without realising that both are inherently one and the same thing.

We may appear to be more technologically advanced than ever before but i doubt very much whether that has any direct influence on our ability to be better human beings.

I love hearing things like Roger Penrose trying to explain the existence of the soul via quantum physics or Nassim Haramein's explanation of the universe to actually SHOW a reason for gravity!!! Great stuff. There is hope for us yet.

Eventually science and faith will realise they are both searching the same existential question and both are right.

In the meantime there will ALWAYS be spiritually aware, loving beautiful souls on this planet regardless of the society they were born in and there will also be very technologically advanced societies with no more or less wonderful people living within them.
