Bob Grossman just introduced me to ...Hi, Michael, <br /><br />Bob Grossman just introduced me to your blog and directed me to this post, which is quite consistent with a book I'd like to write myself someday: "The Denial of Consciousness."<br /><br />As I wrote in a recent email to Bob, "Science continues to have this ridiculous Victorian view of itself that ceased to be even apparently justified with Einstein. In fact, rightly understood, Science itself really has no view of itself, since it is just a useful method for gathering a specific class of highly reliable knowledge. But that method has wrongly been taken for a world view--namely, a world view that is characterized by doubt of anything that could be remotely consoling to the human heart. <br /><br />It is right and good that the Scientific Method has vanquished merely belief-based religion, but it also has been used to reject subtle, experiential knowledge that is available through, for example, meditation and intuition. In other words, the Victorian interpretation of Science tends to throw out the baby with the bath water. However, as your friend M. Gruber points out, Science the Method actually eclipsed Science the World View long ago; it's just that this news hasn't yet reached the Victorian crowd, which unfortunately continues to be Voice of Science for the huddled masses.<br /><br />Best,<br />John "Rain" McManusRainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827799207217635742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657662925997069756.post-18069849232065072632013-01-12T09:44:41.015-08:002013-01-12T09:44:41.015-08:00Hi Mr. Gruber, I love your books esp your Jimmy Pa...Hi Mr. Gruber, I love your books esp your Jimmy Paz books. Have you read 'The Holographic Universe' by Michael Talbot? There is also the parallel universe theory which a physicist told me was not a theory but now a fact! This would explain psychic predictions and other phenomenon. Another thought: Are we men dreaming of being a butterfly or butterflies dreaming of being men?stargazer8https://www.blogger.com/profile/10250618476875785946noreply@blogger.com
