Happy Summer Holidays!

Psychic Readings by Kathleen

What is a spiritual crisis?  We tend to associate it with a loss of faith.  For an inexplicable reason we stop believing there is a divine will which is separate from our own.  It hasn’t helped that our much lauded “Scientific Age” has put strict parameters upon that which will be accepted as truth. According to the masters of science, for something to be true, it must adhere to specific criteria associated with rationalism, methodology, and visible proof.  Certainly science can claim many conversions to its side of the debate but it has obviously failed to lure everyone.

A hundred and fifty years ago, when science was forced to face the possibility of defeat in the face of irrational faith, it brought in its youngest and sloppiest sister, psychology.  Psychology (the word means the study of the soul) with its rather loose boundaries was invited to prove its mettle by debunking spirituality once and for all.  To this day psychology remains split on this fault line between those who adhere to notions of soul and spirit as an integral part of being human and those who think it’s all a matter of delusion and insanity.   We have a record of Dr. Freud (father of psychoanalysis) admonishing his colleague, Dr. Jung (father of analysis) not to fix his research upon soul and spirit or he will be irresponsibly throwing all credibility in the study of the psyche out in the cold.  Sadly at the end of his life however, Freud is also noted as saying that if he’d had his life to live over he would have studied the esoteric sciences!  It really was all about garnering favour with the scientific community.

At the Perimeter Institute, a world class science research project initiated by one of the owners of RIM (producer of the blackberry) the most brilliant science minds of our age have been have been conjuring formulas to prove the reality and truth of quantum physics.  Physics, certainly one of the purest titans of science in its fascination with quantum physics is curiously reaching across the old divide between faith and science.

I don’t mean to suggest that I don’t love science.  My highest grades in school were in physics and math but it was in the arena of creative expression, story-telling, and sociology that my soul soared and my spirit sang.  I’ve always believed that we must be mindful not to fall into the trap of one being more right, valuable, or true than the other.  We must push ourselves to demand a balance of faith and science in order to avoid the pitfalls of spiritual crisis.  Love and wisdom set the highest standards by which we can solve our personal and collective problems.  We cannot expect that prayer will solve our pollution problems any more than we can expect logic to fix our infantile desire. Utilizing both powers and demanding a balance between the two will hold our faith steady and make our logic creative.  If one wing is stronger than the other we find ourselves flying around in circles.

Quote:

“Say what you will of science, it affords means for material life and usefulness; but when death comes, the great living terror of the world, before which even sages pale, and before which science has no answer to give, then professor and sage ask themselves the question, “Do the dead live?” is there any proof that beyond this change there is another life, and that sentient immortal souls will meet us and commune with us there? And if there is an answer to this question brought to the world, is it not indeed worth all the deductions of science to know it? A scientist would like a letter from his daughter or son in Italy or America.  But if gone farther, and hidden out of sight beyond the veil, does he have no longing to know whither they are gone, and if in that unseen but near world they still live and love? Oh, death no longer a mystery.  It is a sweet and silent messenger of change, the putting off of the outer and the recreation of the inner soul! No longer a terror, but evident to the senses, made tangible to the human ear and sight and understanding, there comes the proof that another, an outside intelligence, known by name and calling those they loved, can come and speak to us.  Is not this of more value to us than all science? And if it is not worth anything to the scientist, and if he has not time to listen to it, let him not scoff at those who think it worth their while to know of the other life.”
