christmas in jail...spirituality?
by alanakatelyn on January 05, 2012The first thing they tell you in science is that there are no facts. There are only hypotheses and theories. Since hypothesis may be tested infinitely throughout the course of time, then theories may be constantly disproved and changing. Logic (the base of all science and its purpose, is very necessary to study and especially understand.) The past and present (an probably the future) have shown, many times, these changes in scientific theories. No matter how many experiments scientists compose, the facts remain in the “Laws of Nature.”
Most scientists insist they can disprove the Bible and its history. Some scientists claim that they CAN prove that certain things involved or mentioned in the Bible are true. Thus they claim to prove Christianity in some ways. Either way, both sets of scientists are basing their thoughts off of theories. The issue will never be understood. Therefore my understanding of spirituality is that it resides inside of each person for themselves. It is “seen” or rather felt in the form of hope, respect, love, morals, and virtues that are similar in most all minds. The difference is what a person chooses to do with their spirituality that forms the good and evil in this world.
This spiritual nature within is connected to the laws of nature. A positive nature includes things like empathy, compassion, love, respect, and honesty. A negative nature is selfish and destructive to others and themselves. Everyone is selfish by nature, however we are also created with a good nature in us. If the selfish part tends to dominate the good, then the way I see it is that part of our role, or meaning, here is to learn to live in harmony with the laws of nature. “Our actions should resonate with the way of nature…” –Amber Brummel. This concept is exactly what Buddha calls “pleasing mother nature.” Some may choose to call Mother Nature God; I believe they are all the same entity. Faith is the driving force to following the laws of nature.
We work so hard to overanalyze our surroundings, so that we may control them. The funny part is that they always end up controlling us. We just make it more difficult by creating the illusion that we can fight nature’s laws.
