” In each atom of the realms
of the universe,
There exist vast oceans
of world systems.”

The Great Flower Ornament
An Ancient Buddhist Scripture.

Science shows us ways of interpreting the physical world, while spirituality helps us cope with reality.  But the extreme of either is impoverishing.  The belief that all is reducible to matter and energy leaves out a huge range of human experience.  There is a ghost in the machine.

“At the same time, holding unexamined spiritual beliefs-beliefs that are contradicted by evidence, logic and experience- can lock us into fundamentalist cages.”

H.H. Dalai Lama
