Spirituality Does Not Need Pseudoscience
The Ground of Being does not require science for it’s proof. It does not require quantum physics. Once it is tasted, it can never fully leave you, and no amount of evidence could convince you contrary to it’s existence. Once we see that we are the depth of Eternal Consciousness, then every thought, sensation, experience, and even the sense of “I” become mere clouds passing through the vast sky of Being. We still may become lost in the clouds, but we know in our hearts that the sky is there.
Once this has been awakened, God’s handiwork is seen everywhere, including in science. There, at the quantum level, at the edge of the Universe, or at the beginning of time, it seems we see the first dance of formlessness into form, where the Great Mystery flirts with our rational mind, turning over our assumptions of reality and opening us up like a Zen koan.
But it would be a mistake to look for proof in this. There is no mathematical or scientific proof for God, and trying to place one where it does not exist leads to pseudoscience. This is the mistake of many of the New Age thinkers of today. They see the miracle of the One sprinkled throughout the many, and they wish to share this with others. Many are sincere in their efforts, but nonetheless they actually widen the gap between spirituality and science by pushing away those with little patience for shoddy logic.
But if instead of looking for proof we look for poetry, then the dance of creation can delight us with each quark, black hole, and quantum superposition, awakening us to our True Nature. The universe, too, is just a cloud passing through the sky of Being, and awe and wonder are the steps towards that Great Stillness within.
From and for God
