Science and Mysticism
There are religions that claim to be the rightful owner of the mystical truth. This is the base on which they justify their claims to leadership in science. Science has been able to break this intolerable claim by creating a distance to religion and pretending that mysticism is nonsense in every case. Today science has its unchallenged ground. It can now treat questions about mysticism without compromising its independence. It is no need to say that all that what is mystical is nonsense. It is no longer necessary that scientific institutions choke a good work down, only because it implies the possibility of mysticism. Science must remove this historical taboo, in order to allow serious works also in this sector. We know the big names in art and science. They deliver a lot of colorful aspects and views about mysticism. Many of them express that they consider their inspirations as a gift from the mystique sector. Let us not forget that.
The human character
plays a dominant role in science and mysticism. There exists only few scientists who are as happy if someone other made a good performance as they are when they themselves are author of a good performance. It can be a big problem especially if new results of others are a danger for someones career or for someones work. This can lead to intrigue and confrontations that are not scientific at all. Human are so imperfect, that even those who are classified as the biggest in their field, may have only a few really bright moments in their lifetime. It can also happen that their views are so strongly constrained that some of their personal statements are problematic. Researcher who observe a part of reality and describe it carefully, help to expand knowledge. But anyone who wants to draw conclusions from the descriptions of reality that go beyond his own experience has a difficult task. He needs a lots of care and experience. In addition, he must overcome his own character, the influences of the environment and the spirit of the time. It is hard to succeed. It is is very difficult and the thinking is constantly developing. For these reasons have also carefully constructed theories a limited value.
Mystique
Anyone who has made mystical experiences, believes that mysticism is a big dimension, a dimension which may extend up to the perception of what is called the living light. Many people have had mystical experiences. But the spontaneous or accidental observations are very difficult to interpret. For the evaluation of mystical things, an extreme caution is needed. A certain degree of probability is given when the observations and their consequences are logical and reasonable and are in harmony with our in a traditional way controlled world. Where science and mysticism are not in harmony the reason must be scanned in both sectors. This is not easy, because only few people know their own limits in science and mysticism. The tendency to overestimation in one of the sectors and ignorance in the other sector are unfortunately very common.
The problem with existing doctrines
If a opinion is prevailing does not mean it is correct. An opinion should not be dominant, but it is to check again to see if and how far it may be or it is correct. This affects alike the science, social issues, mysticism, politics, economics and religion. But also when honest researchers reach their limits and become uncertain, they tend to rely on something that seems to be indisputable. And this is often the dominant school of thought. The more this happens, the more an opinion becomes an indisputable dogma. There are also people who influence the formation of doctrines already, with the aim to abuse them for their own purposes. They attack anyone who dares to criticize this and call him incompetent, crazy, heretical or enemy. They manipulate the public opinion to agree on fascism, slavery, a particular form of economy and all the rest of it. Humans that prevent the calling into question of doctrines are pests.
The effect of belief in miracles
I want to reduce the impact of some of my negative inner programs and increase my joy of life. If I continue to target things like I should not always breathe so superficial, I should not go into a bad composure and not have such a bad mood, it's exhausting. If I want to get a good result, I better repeat and internalize a sentence like this: With every breath I feel a miraculous outcome. If I internalize such a sentence, I will cope with life in a new way and learn to get used to.
