HW3: Bridging the Yin and the Yang: Science and Spirituality

The thought that has been lying in my head struck me as I was reading an online article about the existence at the viewpoint of a mystic and a scientist. Does science provide the basis for the existence of every single thing in this world? If so, where does that leave spirituality?

For the most part, I am very much into spiritual things as it captured my interest and I don't have a doubt in my mind that God is the bedrock of existence. Science, as I see it, is created by God himself.
When these two things meet, nothing is probably more interesting than this!

In the documentary I've watched entitled, Quantum Activist (2009),  Dr. Amit Goswami often speaks of something called 'quantum nonlocality'. This term simply means that events and connections can happen outside of space and time as we know it.

The following experiment were explained by Goswami in the said documentary:

• Two meditators were put in separate rooms by a team of scientists. These of course weren't just regular rooms but Faraday Cages -- soundproofed and shielded from all forms of electro-magnetic radiation, which means all the forms of energy and magnetism that exist in “regular” space time as we know it are blocked

• Each meditator was instructed to go into a neutral meditative state while having their brainwaves monitored. Meditator A is shown a screen with an image on it, and she is told to look at it while intending to connect to the other meditator, while Meditator B remains neutral in state

• As Meditator A looks at the image, her brainwaves shift. As she intends to connect to Meditator B, who isn’t focusing on doing anything but a neutral meditation, Meditator B’s brainwaves start to match Meditator A’s brainwaves. Remember, all normal EM radiation is completely blocked by the Faraday Cage. Goswami’s claim is this connection that was created from one meditator to another was happening outside of space/time as we know it, which Goswami says is quantum nonlocality.

When I witnessed these events, it truly amazed me. It’s really interesting that their brain waves were able to match albeit the 'electro-magnetic radiation' blocking. I am still trying to fully understand what this quantum nonlocality exactly is. It's apparent that something beyond scientific comprehension was happening here.

In my point of view, science is useful and powerful, so is spirituality on so many deeper levels. It seems that there are enlightened ones in the past who already know about the connection of consciousness and reality, who tried to push the boundaries of mainstream science.

So what do you think of Science and Spirituality? Do you think they are compatible?
