Perhaps the efforts taken to synthesize science and spirituality is hindered by religion. It has been at odds with science throughout history, and a staunch supporter of at least the first two of the three stages of truth. But then again, they have the most to lose.
I have been speculating the possibility that we cannot see what is beyond that which hides the true nature of creation, because we have not yet reached the point where can accept the responsibility that knowledge requires. Our biggest problem is our immaturity.
We are arrogant, self centered, self righteous, exploiting other species as if it is our right to do so. We are so elitist, that we even exploit our own kind, when it serves our own purpose. So how can we possibly expect to share in knowledge that demands that we take responsibility for our actions, and become loving and nurturing beings of creation? Is that not the very essence of the Caroline Group? A group of people who had awareness as well as means, took responsibility to be guardians of knowledge and technology, not for selfish profits, but to keep safe until humanity was ready to deal with it responsibly.
I believe Mr. Twigsnapper enjoys a nice Filet or was it Prime Rib now and then and I too enjoy my red meat on Sundays. Exploiting bovine and other creatures as our food supply. Unfortunately for some of us, we can't help it. Perhaps it would be a step up to exploit the philosophy of certain American tribes and offer a prayer of thanks to the animal.
Just a thought that all those vegans out there will jump upon or carnivores will pounce upon.
