Science and Spirituality: An Introduction

In the last half century, scientific thought in the form of advanced theoretical sciences (like nonlinear dynamics and subatomic physics) has converged on what mystics and sages have experienced and taught for millennia: An invisible reality, oneness and interconnectivity exist beyond our sensory experience.  As written in the Bhagavad-Gita, “If you understand your own mind completely, you are not just a human being, you yourself are God.”

Advanced theoretical sciences all have their limitations; however, they each provide clues to the spiritual domain.  In the 70s, modern classics like Fritja Capra’s Tao of Physics and Gary Zukav’s The Dancing Wu Li Masters illustrated the extraordinary discoveries of Quantum Mechanics (or New Physics) and their parallels with timeless mystical teachings.  Over the last several decades, major leaps in understanding have occurred as the nature of consciousness itself has been recontextualized.

This section is not intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of any science; rather, it highlights several theories and relates their findings to an understanding of consciousness in a spiritual context. These various sciences are discussed in Dr. David R. Hawkins’ Power vs. Force.
