We live in a Religious world. A world depending on ritual and things taken on faith or hearsay. Regardless of Monotheism or Paganism there is always a hierarchy of entities or a "we-they" approach to everything. Things and events are pre-determined in some universal script or plot.
We live in a Scientific world where things are determined with great precision. A world where everything is related to everything else. A world where technology has given us the privilege of practically instantaneous communication. And a curiousity to poke our nose into anything that we have a mind to. But are we truly "our brother's keeper"?
That comes in the synthesis of Science and Religion. That comes with Spirituality. Spirituality is Religion without the need for blind faith and public ritual. Spirituality is Science without the need for predictability or a cause for every effect. Is it necessary to bring everything into the laboratory to accept it's existence? Perhaps as the world grows more spiritually and we become more conscious of the connectedness of all things then the synthesis will become complete and we can benefit from all three parts of the trichotomy.
What is this connectedness that is a result of our acceptance of Spirituality? This I shall describe in next week's post as I tell you the story of little people helping little people.
