Sheldrake is correct. Empiricism has taken away our awe, our sense of wonder and reverence for the unseen. The result is that we now celebrate the crass, the titillating and the hedonistic pleasures that take away our humanity.

Odd. Two people on the planet comment on Sheldrake's "Mystical" video. Both are Canadian. Perhaps there's a uniquely Canadian morphic field.

Hey guys, CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL and see my videos because they have the link. See...when I worked for govnerment, we had to read a step-by-step technique book on developing mind abilities...seriously. It has now been posted online, which really shocked me when I stumbled across it. I think you guys should know about it. The methods are quite effective.

I think this scientist would be more than interested to see my first uploaded video "Witness a miracle.". I swear the footage is absolutely genuine. It is best seen full screen and the key moment to pay attention would be as soon as the film comes into focus. I have personal evidence which may support his theories. If it hadn't had this first had evidence I may doubt it my self, but I swear on all that is good and innocent in this world that it is true. This is only one small example of many.

All these comments reaffirm my faith that the land of the living is far more interesting than the realm of eternity. I've felt, with all my senses, the boundaries of those two distinct places dissolve, and I think that's what any mystical feeling is about. It's this flirtation with a foreground imbued with the divine. Dualities appear, disappear, and reappear. Makes me think that God loves playing all kinds of games. And you best be not writing of my qualia jus yet! I ain't too crazy!

@0debug @0debug Oh, I agree with you completely. I think it's our duty to try to understand and to learn about the world. I just think that we shouldn't reject the mystical and mysterious simply because we can't explain it.

@dknightnikifor I think that it (i.e. the question of whether a modern scientific view of the world takes away some kind of wonder) is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I think the current modern view of the world is magnificent; see e.g. Carl Sagan's Cosmos series. And also our ability to understand how the world works, that is magnificent too. Choosing to (or wishing to) not understand and learn about the world, in order to preserve some wonder, seems very backward. That's my opinion.

The books piled on the TV monitors make it official Science :)

@Hashishin13 "Your a joke, Evolution is an obvious fact if you spend half an hour looking at the evidence with an open mind", I see the word "Obvious", but if I am mistaken, I apologize. Anything is possible, I don't deny the possibility of evolution. Science is more than a bunch of mechanics, religion is more than a bunch of cross dressers claiming truths they cannot claim. Religion/mysticism offer a view that can put science in another light. Please try to actually read what I am saying.
