Začátek je v blízkosti: Manželství vědy a spirituality "V den, kdy věda začne zkoumat non-fyzikální jevy, to bude větší pokrok v jednom desetiletí, než ve všech předchozích stoletích své existence. " – Nikola Tesla Amidst all the doom and gloom of Armageddon, post-apokalyptické scénáře, a mluví o "konci časů,"Objevují se sklo-je-poloplná, pozitivní a povzbuzující způsob, jak se dívat na budoucnost. “The beginning is near” is the antithesis to “the end is near.” The beginning is near is both humbling and hopeful. It’s humbling in the sense that it admits that we don’t have things figured out yet and that the greatest human wisdom is still to be achieved. And it’s hopeful in the sense that we are close to achieving that wisdom. We are approaching a singularity of sorts, a human threshold, one that will launch us into a whole other level of evolution, where we may finally figure out how to live in accord with each other and align ourselves with the earth and its laws. Jako řekl Janine Benyus, "Jsme v podstatě to velmi mladý druh, pouze 200,000 let. Jsme jeden z nově příchozích, a jdeme stejným postupem, že jiné druhy projít, který je, how do I keep myself alive while taking care of the place that’s going to keep me and my offspring alive?” How indeed? There’s a psychosocial game that we’re playing as members of an unhealthy world-destroying culture that most of us are not aware we’re playing. This game is affecting everything from the air we breathe and the water we drink, to the relationships we make and the wars we wage. It’s a game that we were all born into, a game that we’ve been forced into playing, because opting out is not acceptable by the greater culture. Some of us are aware of how destructive this game is, but most of us are not aware. Those few of us who are aware are still forced to play the game, but we are playing strategically, either to maintain the game that keeps us in power, or to undermine the game that keeps us powerless. We’re either playing to make the game healthier, by changing or even breaking the rules of the game. Or we’re playing to keep the game unhealthy so that we can continue to make money off of people and natural systems so as to leverage our power. But the vast majority of people are not aware that they are a part of this game of exploitation or even that there is a game being played. Most people are so caught-up in going through the motions of being a cog in the machine, that they could care less if the machine is destructive or not. Jako řekl Noam Chomsky, "Obecná populace ani neví, co se děje, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.” Their attitude is as long as they can get through the day, with as little heartache and grief as possible from their fellow humans, then it’s all good. But it’s not all good. The excuse of “just getting through the day” doesn’t change the fact that the psychosocial game we are playing is systematically destroying the planet and everything that lives on it, including us. “The bullshit machine says the small is the great, the absence is the presence, the vicious is the noble, and the lie is the truth” writes Umair Haque. “We believe it, and greedily, it feeds on our belief. The more we feed it, the more insatiable it becomes. Až, at last, we are exhausted. By pretending to want the lives we think we should, instead of daring to live the lives we know we could.” And there’s the rub. That’s the crux. The “bullshit machine” has us caught up in living unhealthy lifestyles that we’ve been conditioned into wanting, while neglecting the healthy lifestyles we could be living. We have been burdened with ugly, stupid lifestyles on a planet pushed to the very edge of destruction by status-quo junkies feeding us new promises of consumable happiness that gets shit out all over the planet in mass-destructive ways. Perhaps nobody else puts it into more clearer a perspective than Ernest Becker in Denial of Death: “Modern man is drinking and drugging himself out of awareness, or he spends his time shopping, which is the same thing. As awareness calls for types of heroic dedication that his culture no longer provides for him, society contrives to help him forget. In the mysterious way in which life is given to us in evolution on this planet, it pushes in the direction of its own expansion. We don’t understand it simply because we don’t know the purpose of creation; we only feel life straining in ourselves and see it thrashing others about as they devour each other. Life seeks to expand in an unknown direction for unknown reasons.” The question is: how do we figure out these unknown reasons. How do we get in balance with this “unknown direction?” How do we change the game? How do we slow down the bullshit machine? Is teaching ourselves how to recondition the precondition enough? Is teaching people how to live healthier lifestyles enough? Perhaps our saving grace can be found in the marriage between science and spirituality. It’s a double-edged sword, najisto. One side of the sword is science, the attempt to figure out the secrets of the universe. The other side of the sword is spirituality, the attempt to bring meaning to the universe. If the lighting of the first fire was science and the lighting of the second fire was spirituality, then the lighting of the third fire is the marriage of both science and spirituality, a sacred union. Sacred activism is a branch of this concept. If we are to have any hope of righting the ship, of changing the game, opravdu, of being game changers ourselves instead of merely players of an unhealthy game, then we must learn, or relearn, how to use this sword. Like Werner Heisenberg said, “The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.” Indeed, let’s sharpen the double-edged sword. Let’s allow science to teach us healthy from unhealthy so that spirituality can teach us moral from immoral. And then let’s discover that God has always been hiding inside us. We just had to empty our “cup.” On the one hand we have the universal mythological intuition that the order we perceive in the universe exists by divine fiat (duchovno). And on the other hand we have the contemporary cosmological speculation that reality is arbitrary and a manifestation of an infinitely greater potentiality (science). Why can these two perceptions not be one and the same thing, or even two sides to the same coin? Science has come a long way in explaining the fascinating reality in which we live, ale, as Adam Zeman wrote, there’s still only “night at the end of the tunnel.” It’s the job of spirituality to make sense out of this “night.” It’s the job of spirituality to discover a moral question for our culture to thrive off of and continuously attempt to answer, even while we go through the scientific motions of figuring it out. It’s the job of spirituality to bring about sacred spaces for science to take place in, just as it’s the job of science to attempt to explain the nature of space. Like Wendell Berry said, “There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places.” Spirituality can help us to embrace the sacred, while science can help us to heal desecrated places. So don’t lose heart. The beginning is near. And even if it’s not, at least we have the marriage of science and spirituality to guide us a little closer. So strap on your post-apocalyptic sunglasses. Let the bullshit machine clog itself with its own bullshit and slowly die out. The bright side is we can use it as manure to plant seeds of healthy change. The sky is the limit. Climb up that precarious ladder, out of the destruction and decay of the outdated system. Peak over the walls built by unsustainable men, and discover that the universe has always been at your fingertips. The beginning is near. Let’s begin. Zdroj obr:

Početak je u blizini: Brak znanosti i duhovnosti "Dan znanost počne proučavati ne-fizičke pojave, to će napraviti veći napredak u jednom desetljeću nego u svim prethodnim stoljećima svog postojanja. " – Nikola Tesla Uz sve sudbina i tama od Armagedon, post-apokaliptične scenarije, i razgovarati o "posljednjim vremenima,"Tu se pojavljuje staklo-je-pola puna, pozitivan i ohrabrujući način gledanja na budućnost. "Početak je blizu" je antiteza "kraj je blizu." Početak je u neposrednoj blizini je i ponižavajuće i nade. To je ponižavajuće u smislu da priznaje da nemamo stvari shvatili još i da je najveća ljudska mudrost je još uvijek želi postići. I to je nade u smislu da smo blizu postizanja tog mudrost. Mi se približava singularnost sorti, ljudski prag, onaj koji će nas pokrenuti u cijeloj drugoj razini evolucije, gdje smo se konačno shvatiti kako živjeti u skladu jedni s drugima i sami poravnati sa zemljom i njenim zakonima. Kao Janine Benyus rekao, "Mi smo u osnovi to je vrlo mlada vrsta, samo 200,000 stara godina. Mi smo jedna od pridošlica, i idemo kroz isti proces koji druge vrste proći, što je, Kako stalno si živ, a brigu o mjestu koje će me i moje potomstvo živ zadržati?"Kako doista? Postoji psihosocijalni igra koja igramo kao pripadnici nezdrave svjetski uništava kulture koje je većina od nas nisu svjesni igramo. Ova igra je zahvatio sve iz zraka koji udišemo i vodu koju pijemo, u odnosima koje donosimo i ratova smo plaći. To je igra koja smo svi rođeni u, igra koja smo prisiljeni na igranje, jer se opredjeljuju se nije prihvatljiva od strane većeg kulture. Neki od nas su svjesni koliko je destruktivan ova igra je, ali većina od nas nisu svjesni. Oni su neke od nas koji smo svjesni i dalje su prisiljeni igrati, ali mi igramo strateški, bilo bi održali igru koja nas drži u vlasti, ili potkopati igru koja nas drži nemoćni. Mi ni igrati kako bi igra zdravije, promjenom ili čak razbijanje pravila igre. Ili igramo da igra nezdravo, tako da možemo nastaviti kako bi novac od ljudi i prirodnih sustava, kako bi se iskoristiti naše snage. No, velika većina ljudi nisu svjesni da su oni dio ove igre eksploatacije ili čak da je igra koja se igra. Većina ljudi tako su uhvaćeni-u ide kroz pokrete postojanja kotačić u stroju, da su me briga ako stroj destruktivno ili ne. Kao Noam Chomsky je rekao, "Opća populacija ne znam što se događa, i to ni ne zna da ne zna. "Njihov stav je sve dok se mogu dobiti kroz dan, sa što manje tuga i žalosti što je više moguće od svoje druge ljude, onda je sve dobro. No, to nije sve dobro. Izgovor "samo uzimajući preko dana" ne mijenja činjenicu da je psihosocijalna igre igramo sustavno uništava planet i sve što živi na njoj, uklju?uju?i nas. "Sranje stroj kaže da mala je super, nedostatak je prisutnost, začarani je plemenita, a laž je istina ", piše Umair Haque. "Mi vjerujemo da, i pohlepno, što hrani naše uvjerenje. Više smo ga hraniti, više nezasitan postaje. Do, konačno, mi smo iscrpljeni. Pretvarajući se da žele život mi da bismo trebali, umjesto da se usudio živjeti živote znamo što smo mogli. "I tu je protrljati. To je poanta. "Sranje stroj" nas je uhvaćen u dnevni nezdravi stil života koji smo uvjetovani u nedostatku, a zanemaruje zdrav način života možemo živjeti. Mi smo bili opterećeni ružna, glupa načina života na planeti guraju do samog ruba uništenja status quo junkies hranjenja nam nova obećanja potrošne sreće da dobiva sranje po cijelom planetu u masovnim-destruktivne načine. Možda nitko ga stavlja u još jasnije perspektive nego Ernesta Beckera u Denial of Death: "Suvremeni čovjek je pio i sam drugging iz svijesti, ili provodi vrijeme u shopping, što je ista stvar. Kad svijest zahtijeva vrsta herojskog predanosti da mu je kultura više ne daje za njega, društvo oblikuje takav da mu pomogne zaboraviti. Na tajanstven način na koji je život dao za nas u evoluciju na ovom planetu, gura u smjeru širenja vlastite. Ne razumijem samo zato što ne znamo svrhu stvaranja; možemo samo osjećati život naprezanje u sebe i vidjeti što tući druge oko kao što proždiru jedni druge. Život nastoji proširiti u nepoznatom pravcu iz nepoznatih razloga. "Pitanje je: kako ćemo shvatiti ove iz nepoznatih razloga. Kako smo dobili u ravnoteži s ovim "nepoznatom pravcu?"Kako ćemo promijeniti igru? Kako usporiti glupostima stroj? Je li se nastava kako preraditi preduvjet dovoljno? Podučava ljude kako da žive zdravije životne stilove dovoljno? Možda je naš spas milost može se naći u braku između znanosti i duhovnosti. To je dvosjekli mač, sigurno. Jedna strana mača znanost, Pokušaj shvatiti tajne svemira. Druga strana mača je duhovnost, pokušaj da se značenje svemiru. Ako rasvjeta prvog požara je znanost i rasvjeta drugog požara je duhovnost, zatim rasvjeta trećeg požara je brak oba znanosti i duhovnosti, sveto sindikata. Sveto aktivizam je grana ovog koncepta. Ako želimo imati ikakve nade uspravljanja broda, promjene u igri, doista, bude igra se mjenjače umjesto samo igrači nezdrave igre, onda moramo naučiti, ili relearn, Kako koristiti ovaj mač. Kao Werner Heisenberg rekao, "Prvi gutljaj iz čaše prirodnih znanosti će vas pretvoriti u ateista, ali na dnu čaše, Bog je za vas čeka. "Uistinu, neka je oštrijeg dvosjekli mač. Dopustimo znanost nas uči zdravom iz nezdravo da duhovnost može naučiti nas moralno od nemoralnog. A onda ćemo otkriti da je Bog uvijek se krije u nama. Upravo smo morali isprazniti našu "pehar". S jedne strane imamo univerzalnu mitološku intuiciju da red koji opažamo u svemiru postoji božanska fiat (duhovni). A s druge strane, imamo suvremeni kozmološki nagađanja da je stvarnost proizvoljna i manifestacija beskonačno veće potencijalnosti (znanost). Zašto se ove dvije percepcije ne bude jedna te ista stvar, ili čak dvije strane iste medalje? Znanost prešla je dalek put u objašnjavanju fascinantan stvarnost u kojoj živimo, ali, Adam Zeman je napisao, Tu je još uvijek samo "Noć na kraju tunela." To je posao od duhovnosti kako bi smisao ovog "noći." To je posao duhovnosti otkriti moralno pitanje za našu kulturu napredovati off i kontinuirano pokušati odgovoriti, čak i dok prolazimo kroz znanstvene kretanja je figuring out. To je posao od duhovnosti da bi o svetim prostorima za znanost kako bi se održati u, baš kao što je to posao znanosti pokušati objasniti prirodu prostora. Kao Wendell Berry rekao, "Nema unsacred mjesta; postoje samo sveta mjesta i oskvrnuli mjesta. "Duhovnost može nam pomoći da prihvatimo svet, dok nam znanost može pomoći da ozdravi oskvrnuli mjesta. Zato ne malakšemo. Početak je u blizini. A čak i ako to nije, barem imamo brak znanosti i duhovnosti da nas vodi malo bliže. Tako remen na svoj post-apokaliptičnog sunčane naočale. Neka sranje stroj se začepiti sa svojim sranjima i polako odumiru. Svijetla točka je da ga se može koristiti kao gnoj zasaditi sjeme zdrave promjene. Nebo je granica. Uspon do tog nesigurnog ljestve, iz razaranja i raspadanja zastarjelog sustava. Peak preko zidova izgradili neodržive muškaraca, i otkriti da je svemir oduvijek bila na dohvat ruke. Početak je u blizini. Počnimo. Izvor slike:
