Thanks for taking the time to read my response and for commenting on it as well! Exchanging ideas in a respectful way is sometimes more than you can ask from both the “science” or the “esoteric” dudes, both of which will respond to the arguments of the other in a derogatory way.

I appreciate your point of view, and I certainly understand it as it was my own not so long ago.

The only thing I will leave you with is that if you look back at the past, at no point in time did “scientists” believe that they were wrong. At no point in time did the dogmatic religious people believe they were wrong. When you live inside a system of beliefs, you think it will go on forever. But as Heraclitus said: “The only constant in life is change.”

Einstein was ridiculed when he proposed his paper on general relativity, and many who are today revered as Geniuses were deemed heretic by the standards of their day. Copernicus nearly died for his “crazy woo woo ideas” that the Earth was not in the center of the Universe.

What I firmly believe is that we will NEVER understand it all or get it right, or be “sure” of anything. There is no end to the discoveries we will make, and so settling for whatever science or neurology says today is no different, in principle, then someone in the 1500s believing that the Earth was at the center of the Universe or in the early 1900s someone believing that the entire Universe worked in a mechanic and predictable Newtonian way.

The ideas of Quantum physics and quantum mechanics are “woo woo” from the perspective of someone living in the 1900s. The idea that a particle can have an influence which extends into the “past” is something not even Jules Verne would have thought of in his sci-fi books!

My firm belief, is that EVERYTHING is true. It all matters on your perspective.

I will leave you with this metaphor:

When you set your GPS to go somewhere and you look at the full set of instructions. Which one of them is “true”? All of them? Well, no. If you try to follow any of them at random, you’ll never arrive to your destination. You follow them in a certain order which means they are contextually “true” depending on where you are on your “journey”. So the old testament’s 10 commandments and a punishing ruthless God was the “right” direction at a time where people were barely more than smartly vicious chimpanzees, killing and raping whenever they had the chance. And science was the “right” direction at a time when the world was under the dogmatic spell of religions.

And as far as God, well, think about God as being all possible directions which you execute at the same time. You turn right at the same time as you turn left, you go straight at the same time as you make a U-turn (time flows infinitely fast inside a black hole), so where do you “go”… Nowhere. You stay exactly where you are, because executing all possible directions at the same time cancels or neutralizes itself.

The “woo woo” esoteric guru charlatans are the dogmatic close-minded “trap” of spirituality. Just like cold blooded, emotionless, “there is no free will”, everything can be understood and planned with “science” guys. These are the people who treat humans like robots, trying to figure out how to “manipulate” all of us for a “best interest” which they define with a few “math” formulas. Every ideology (be it religion or science) has it’s dogmatic charlatans. If you look at the people that we take as geniuses in science, all of them were deeply interested in spiritual and existential questions. There are plenty of letters and papers that Einstein wrote which discussed religion and metaphysics. So did Stephen Hawking.

All that I hope for you, is that you break free of “dogma” and return to a state of open-mindedness, where you are free to explore “new” ideas and concepts without rejecting old ones. It’s not about finding the truth, it’s about finding our temporary, relative truth depending on where we want to go from here, as a species, as a civilization. Believing that humans are just meat and bones, and on top of that, a parasite which destroys nature and which nature should quickly get rid of steers us in ONE direction. Other beliefs would lead us elsewhere. Where do we want to go? :-)
