Spirituality and Science Partnership
Saturday, July 21, 4:00-5:30pm
How does science complement and enrich our understanding of spirituality? Scientists use telescopes to gaze at the stars in the heavens, while mystics sit in silence and gaze at the inner stars while meditating. The mystics say we are both seeking the same truths using different methods. Al Pomerantz will look at the parallels between science and the Sant Mat perspective using the human body as the scientific laboratory.
