Science and Spirituality

Although breakthroughs in science can bring clarity and greater understanding to many things, science is not absolute or infallible. Science can only explore through the lens of mind and senses. What is beyond the reach of mind and senses science can never truly know, only hypothesize. This is where science ends and direct 'mystical / spiritual' experience begins. This is where the ego (mind / body / sensory identification) must be dropped in order to be able to open up to a more complete and wholistic seeing and knowing. This direct and total knowing of the Heart can only arise when one is resting deeply in and as the essential and infinite Being, having fully let go of all the conceptual limitations of the mind. Science and spirituality are complimentary and not at odds with one another, so long as we are able to appreciate the unique values, insights, and perspective that each presents, recognizing it is all a part of the greater whole.  When the mind believes itself to be all-knowing, this is a state of forgetfulness of the reality of the Heart.  And when the mind eventually tires of going 'out' through the senses in search of fulfillment and understanding, it turns within, eventually returning to it's source and support.

The Light of Love



When there is a deep and sustained relaxation
 into Witnessing Consciousness and Supreme Silence, 
one begins to see with the eyes of wisdom and clarity, 
seeing the Truth of Oneness.

In this Supreme Silence arises the Light of Love.

Sense of Doership...



Instead of focusing on what you are, or are not "doing", focus on Silence Itself... That which is not doing anything at all, yet through It, all things are done.

Humility











The deepest level of humility,
is when no separate someone remains to be humble.

Karma

Karma is simply the law of causation. Just like an apple tossed in the air must return to the ground, a thought deeply focused upon has it's eventual reaction. A thought given attention and interest becomes a feeling, a feeling becomes a desire, desire leads to action, and action has it's eventual re-action. It all starts with a thought and the degree to which it is focused upon and identified with. Karma Yoga is the practice of freeing one's Self from the bonds of karma. It is the practice of selfless service / allowing thought and action to happen naturally, without any sense of doership. Thought and action may still happen, though the inner Silence witnessing all thought and action becomes the primary focus. When all sense of doership ceases and one is fully established in the silent recognition that they are Unchanging and Ever-Peaceful, even in the midst of thought and action, then one can be said to be free from the bonds of karma.
