Science and spirit

I find it very fascinating that the more highly developed our science gets the more it models the science of indigenous cultures and traditional ecological knowledge. The emergence of quantum theories have caused western traditional science to take a step back and look at the whole picture and not just the mathematical and empirical evidence that was the driving force in modern science. Agriculture, medicine and pharmacology have used indigenous science as stepping stones, but now they are trying to walk on their own. They are finding that life, the physical and spiritual have more of an effect than they previously deluded themselves into thinking. Co-creative science and quantum theory make observing and natural relationships actual variables where before they lumped them into a fudge factor that made everything work.

As an Engineer and a spiritual being, I enjoy watching the play unfold that has described the thoughts and ideas formulated in minds since the beginning of rational thought. Our contemplations have been repeated over and over again with many different perspectives. This latest surge is only difference in approach, not of something all that new. We are developing our own cultural science of this time, much like many other cultures have done in the past. We reason and rationalize the world around us. A virtual world and the modern travel conveniences included in our communities and connections have helped to identify that we are just more complex, and our view points have had many influences and not just those of local families and the land. Together we are using the tools that we have developed in modern science to further our understanding which in the past was not always the case. We used to borrow and steal from other cultures and force them into our point of view. Thankfully there have been some efforts to allow different cultures to develop on their own, but many are so influenced that they have made many changes, and so wisdom that had been learned through traditions and testing over many generations is gone and must be rediscovered in a different context and on our own. We must again become the observer and learn through our awareness.

There are many discoveries ahead; we just need to allow ourselves to accept the things that are beyond our grasp in our current understanding. Enjoy the experience of life and take it all in, not just what you get from your senses, but every connection that is who you are.
