A single truth:

at some point science and spirituality merge to a single truth, or perhaps simply become irrelevant in their perspective meaning and labels, with both telling a similar story through the use of different language. Of course each camp might argue otherwise, as they seem to do quite frequently, but that’s only on the surface level, clinging to sacred beliefs from both sides, and refusing to let go of long held views that hold them to their popular opinion. By this I don’t mean to imply that science refuses to expand in how it sees the world, that would indeed be ridiculous, as science has always been the leading edge of new ways of seeing life and the structure of the universe, much more so than spirituality, which remains stuck in limited views repeated so often and with conviction.

at some point, science and spirituality merge to a single truth of awe.

and that’s the single truth of mystery, of life happening in the immediacy of our presence, stories and labels no longer applied to the pureness of the moment. We’re simply alive, aware, and grateful that it’s so. We’re in awe of who and what we are, and the lens through which we previously viewed the world doesn’t seem to tell a proper story now, not any story at all really, everything just is, pure, innocent, immediate. Science and spirituality remain in the previous world of stories, there’s something new to explore, and we are somehow participants here as well as observers, mystics and shamans, scientist of our own inner journey — explorers of a single truth.
