Science and Spirituality
“The deepest intelligence of philosophy and science are inseparable from a religious view of the world.”
–Rudjer Boskovic (Dubrovnik-born Jesuit Physicist, Mathematician, Astronomer and Philosopher, 1711-1787)
Conscious Cooperation
“If we learn how to consciously cooperate with the creative force of planetary evolution as it is shaping up with the passage of time, mankind’s age-old dream of the kingdom of heaven on earth, i.e., an internationally unified world order controlled by the power of truth, justice and love, can inevitably come true.”
–Haridas Chaudhuri (Bengali Integral Philosopher and Founder of the California Institute of Integral Studies, 1913-1975)
“Karma: The Universal Law of Harmony” (Theosophical Publishing House)
The Integral Vision
“The integral vision, I believe, is more than happy to welcome empirical science as a part — a very important part — of the endeavor to befriend the Kosmos, to be attuned to its many moods and flavors and facets and forms. But a more integral psychology goes beyond that . . .
With science we touch the True, the “It” of Spirit. With morals we touch the Good, the “We” of Spirit.
What, then, would an integral approach have to say about the Beautiful, the “I” of Spirit itself? What is the Beauty that is in the eye of the Beholder? When we are in the eye of Spirit, the I of Spirit, what do we finally see?”
–Ken Wilber (American Philosopher, 1949-)
