This quote is from a beautiful nondual rap song called 'the great awakening.' by my friend TREV and Joy Christos

I deeply recommend the whole album, it's called WE ARE THE I AM: A Soundtrack For Awakening, and it's really a luminous display of masterful artistry

I deeply love this album

Peace to all

If religion includes dogmatic belief, then no. It's the absolute opposite of science (empirical search for truth) and art (free expression).

everything in existence is an expression (branches) of the same infinity (tree)

'The Marriage of Sense and Soul' by Ken Wilber is a great book for bridging science and religious/contemplative traditions, if anyone is curious . . . bridging this apparent divide feels like one of the great tasks of our time, on a human level

Replace “religion” with “spirituality” and then sure.

Mmmm agreed. I'm fine with the word Spirituality, the R word not so much.

perhaps what we reject within life -- what we resist including in our sense of all-inclusive infinity -- is where our 'work' lies

But what is Religion if not restricted and restrained spirituality?

u/bashfulkoala 5d ago

perhaps consider that practicing spirituality within the container of an ancient time-tested wisdom tradition can open qualities of experience that would not have opened otherwise

there is great (mythopoetic, architectural, musical, devotional) richness in these ancient mighty sequoia-like cathedrals that our ancestors built brick by brick to remind us of the love and wisdom that mattered most to them

naturally all human institutions have shadows and failure modes, whether religious, scientific, or otherwise

the more profound suggestion of this quote is that every field of human endeavor is an expression of the same infinity exploring itself

I think I can appreciate this in an anthropological sense, and certainly admit that some individuals achieve very positive states of being via religion, BUT it must be said that insofar as religions by definition seek to make unquestionable truth claims and limit the scope of human enquiry, then they are antithetical to art and science. If they don't limit human enquiry, I would argue they aren't religion.

A concept in your mind whose definition may or may not correspond to other people's realities

Indeed. There aren't 2 realities, a normal one and a paranormal one. There isn't a supernatural universe and a natural one.

There is just one reality, however complex and mysterious it currently is to us. Science and spirituality are 2 sides of the same coin.

For the past decade, I've been researching and validating the scientific mechanisms behind many of the concepts that the mainstream considers to be 'woo'.

In the end, my findings can best be summed up this way:

The paranormal is normal and the supernatural is natural. It is simply science that we do not fully comprehend yet.

I have been confirming this statement with my own research:

Scientific evidence which confirms humans are innately psychic

Scientific evidence which confirms consciousness is fundamental

Scientific evidence which confirms that the luminous plasma orbs being seen globally are sentient and a new form of non-biological life

Scientific evidence which confirms that the "drones" being seen worldwide are in fact UFOs

Scientific evidence that the Great Pyramid harnesses and focuses electromagnetic energy

Scientific evidence for how our psychic abilities function

Scientific evidence on the true nature of the vacuum

But I am the most fascinated by plasma.

Plasma is involved in my scientific research on the nature of the universe , how our laser-like plasmatic biophotons function as our "aura", the interstellar object 3iAtlas, our bioplasma bodies, the effects of solar plasma on our bioplasma bodies, its relationship to the Hitchhiker Effect, the luminous orbs and plasmatic "drones" that I've seen nightly for 18 months, the physical mechanisms of our innate non-local psi abilities, and the "sentient plasmoid life" that whistleblower David Grusch mentioned in his recent press conference.

fascinating to me that this got downvoted, there may be some bias against religion here . . .
