Science is unnecessary as a lens on reality


Science is unneeded as an intermediary between oneself and reality. Life is far richer than any description that a construct of the human mind, such as science, is capable of producing.

Observation with a still mind and alert senses remains our greatest window into life, whereas seeing life through the lens of any theory- whether it be "scientific" or "religious"- only distorts and limits our vision and understanding.

People of a scientific or skeptical bent will tell you that our senses cannot be trusted and that we must trust the pronouncements of science above our own observations and experiences.

But I am telling you that there is no scientific tool or technique that can replace or compare to the meditating human being in gaining a clear and deep understanding of life!
