Science and Religion

Mysticism to the mystic is both science and religion.

I often feel that science and religion are the yin and yang of spirituality.  Earning a degree in Genetics oriented me towards the science camp, but there have been so many unanswered questions for the abstract.  The religious camp often appeared with hypocrisy, so that didn't appear with enough truth.  Now to understand that these two camps are "compounds" building towards the purity.  How would one ever be able to explain a pure abstraction without distortion or from the perspective of "compound" vision?  We know that videos and photos never do complete justice to experiences in life , but technology is getting closer.  It feels like such a remarkable privilege to get a glimpse of this unexplainable world.

It is inside of us.  I found some of the ashram depth while waiting at the foreign affairs office.  Someone I had only met a few times offered the use of his address (no charge),  a "chance" meeting,  an "unexpected" happening, a "coincidence", are all part of the mystery.

The toolbox has a lot of new tools.  Now what?
