  1. Spiritually would explain the whole of science, if one reaches a heightened sense of spirituality it would explain science in one sentence

  2. Wow, this video really opened my eyes to the connection between science and spirituality! Rupert Sheldrake does an amazing job explaining how our spiritual practices can be backed by scientific evidence. I can't wait to watch the full talk and learn even more. Thank you for sharing this insightful content!

  3. Spirituality can explain science but science can’t explain spirituality. It’s easy to conclude which one is limited.

  4. Is spirituality a means to an end or an end itself? According to the lecturer, it appears to be a means to good health and happiness.

    I think doing these things are "good." I don't care whether they lower my BP or strengthen my immune system. Being virtuous is a stand-alone good. And…I'm an American atheist.

  5. Giving more than taking…

    Being kind is its own reward…

    Avoid enmity…

    Assisting those that you can…

    Empathize with suffering people…

    Be in the midst of beauty and/or create something beautiful…

    Apologizing when appropriate…

    Take time to still your mind…

    Can an atheist do these things?

    Does one have to lower egoism before one can do these things? Or does one lower egoism by doing these things?

    Is egoism THE problem?

  6. It's such a blessing to be able to move away from organized religion and its dogma into a deep spiritual discovery of self and our place in the larger "collective consciousness." No more ancient folklore beliefs, no pressure to force your mind into contradictory and often harsh and cruel dogma – only a continuing, genuine discovery about what's real and lasting in our deeper awareness and our personal connection to God.

  7. Hi. Gratitude has the intrinsic virtue of humility,; honesty has an even deeper satisfaction because it is a decision to abide by the law of truthfulness, truth being God's nature. The greatest destroyers of happiness are dishonesty and malice, the latter being like having a wrecking company set up shop in your home. Cheers, P.R.

  8. We are made up of body, spirit and soul…we were created in the image of God…and gratitude is a characteristic we may have or give…depends…
