Science And Spirituality Are Healing The Rift

What a perfect example of science and spirituality coming together. In a previous post I discussed the LHC and how science was looking for the god particle. Becky, a reader, posted a comment about the work of a scientist named Leo Kim. Next month he is releasing a book called Healing The Rift. This is a perfect example of what I was referring to when I made the point of science and spirituality joining as one.

I said that science was the new source of truth for our society. Where we didn’t believe anything until science had verified it to be true. When I look at science I see so many similarities to someone who is seeking spiritual “truths” and the way a scientist looks at a theory. A scientist will look at big questions like, Why are we here-Why do things work this way-How did the universe begin-Who or what created it, and expand their perspective to allow for any possibility, then come up with a theory and try to prove it. It’s that examining and desire to find answers that drives them. This is the same process that a person goes through to look for answers to the same kinds of questions, only from a spiritual perspective. Is it really any different?

As I mentioned in the previous post, science is looking at similar concepts to ones that new age spiritualists has been discussing for 40 years. Topics like dimensions, unseen connecting forces and multiple realities, are all possibilities that science is taking seriously and examining right now. Leo Kim is one scientist that can see the connection between science and spirituality and is working on bridging the gap between the two. Scientists already have the position of “gurus’ in our society. Pretty cool if they turn out to be the new spiritual gurus.

Here’s is an excerpt from his blog that cleary shows how he relates the two aspects of human truth seeking;

The rift can be healed, not by pointing fingers as to who has the most ridiculous beliefs, but rather by seeking commonality in the metaphors. In Healing the Rift, I explain how numerous metaphors of 21^st-century science are consistent with spiritual concepts.

Leo Kim is a respected scientist with over 50 scientific publications and patents. He has also studied with the likes of Deepak Chopra, Bernie Siegel and many others, which has helped to give him a wide perspective to look at the issue of the supposed gap between the two. I have not read his book as it is due out in October but from reading his blog articles it is obvious to me that this man is on the same wavelength as me.

This is a short video about his book and also a link to pre-order it if you desire.

Thanks Becky for showing me Dr Kim’s site. It was a perfect example of the idea I was conveying. I am hoping that his information will be read by many. We are getting very close to the answers to these big questions. The uniting of science and spirituality is happening now. I know that it will probably take verification from science for these new age truths to be incorporated into mass consciousness. They have the authority and we seem to have an unwavering faith in science.

Faith in Science - That’s an interesting concept!
