when you learn a ouija board is simply you and your friend subconsciously moving the little thing around the board. oh wait. . .that might be psychology, not science, but close enough.

I find Carl Sagan does wonders for scientific spirituality.

Generally when people think "spirituality" they think of the supernatural and such. It pleases me to see scientists who reach out to people on an emotional level; a side of spirituality many more of us can agree on.


After learning some of the metaphysical connotations that come along with trying to understand quantum physics, this sense of spirituality has grown in me. We truly are connected to each other, our surroundings, and even to reality itself. We are a naturally occurring pattern in the universe. The universe itself is a naturally occurring pattern in a greater multiverse; an infinite expanse where probability and reality intertwine.

Exactly. As far as I'm concerned, spirituality deals more with that emotional connection to the universe, and the wonder and mystery and awe of it all, than anything to do with actual spirits.

Christian Science is a sect of Christianity in which attempts to combine spirituality and science; the most significant of their beliefs is that they do not accept medical treatment, but instead use faith and prayer for all afflictions.

To you, I tip my naturally/probably occurring hat.

That's a bad idea if someone has a serious ailment. Even Christians believe that God doesn't answer every prayer.

That makes perfect sense my dear. Any other things you would like to say about your spiritual contact with yourself or beliefs?

I remember recently hearing about a young girl who was found to have a cancerous tumor on her shoulder. Perfectly treatable, and she should have made a quick and flawless recovery with chemotherapy.

Her parents relied on faith healing. After many weeks of agonizing pain, she died.

Not the best track record.
