Science tends to ignore what can not be proven in a laboratory. Though science can detect brainwave activity, science cannot prove we even have thoughts. The entire arena of how things feel, like how a church feels verses a bar, is not detectable in a lab. Scientists tend to reject these things, saying they are just psychological. However, at least half of life is about the psyche – arguably much more than that.
The domain of consciousness is only minimally understood by science. The science and technology of that innate and natural domain, which is our birthright, cannot be studied in the traditional laboratory. It is only explored in the laboratory of individual awareness.
The science and technology of consciousness is the next major step in the understanding of life and existence.
Yes!!
Working in healthcare was a real lesson in how much of reality is ignored because it doesn’t fit into the limitations of what can be “scientifically proven.” It isn’t to say that the current scientific methods don’t have value, they do. However, there is obviously so much more going on than what can be viewed or described through that lens.
Such a cool blog! Scientists do tend to reject as nonexistent what they don’t understand. That it can “only be explored in the laboratory of individual awareness” makes total sense.
This is a beautiful blog. It really helps put things in perspective.
It’s interesting that the way the system is set up, science can only discover based on what is already known. It is quite a closed system that only allows for baby steps of discovery.
I find this Michael Mamas Blog quote very exciting because it opens realms unexplored: “The science and technology of consciousness is the next major step in the understanding of life and existence.”
Awesome! I look forward to the day when science merges with our experience of life…
