As many of you know, I am a spiritual traveler, yet, my background is that of a scientist. I can't claim that I always have a rational explanation of everything that is happening along my path, but I can tell you that my aim in life is to make sense of what I see. We have entered the New Age and probably many millions are on a similar spiritual journey right now. As you broaden out the base of people who travel the path, you probably also create a multitude of new avenues towards wholeness. This image below might be a good illustration of our mission. No matter how deep we dig, no matter how liberal our approach, there will always be a new aspect that needs to be discovered and de-mystified. Take Eckhart Tolle and his 'The Power of Now' and you probably agree with me that almost everything that he describes sounds pretty rational and sane. Yet, he was a bit vague on his awakening process, saying that he fell into a deep depression and was then sucked into a mysterious vortex and when he woke up he saw the world with new eyes. In my case, I seem to experience this waking up process in slow motion - the psychological 'I' is being dismantled right in front of my eyes and the process seems to take years rather than a good night's sleep. In terms of the cartoon below, I am apparently zooming right into the 'and then a miracle happens' to make this process a little less mysterious to you. But then, something will probably remain mysterious in my process and it might well be your job to enlighten us on this next step. The movie will always be the same. No matter how far we advance, there will always be a dimension of consciousness greater than you ready to get discovered by the great generation that comes after us.

Refining the Spiritual Path
Conjecture: Every spiritual insight has to have a
scientific explanation, just as every scientific fact has to have a spiritual
meaning.
