That cold drink you are enjoying right now is a direct result of science. Or that hot drink, whichever the case may be.
And the lights in your room. Science. The airplane that just flew overhead is also a direct function of science. There are so many things around us that have come into existence because of scientific exploration and discovery.
Some people have a beef with science. I think because certain findings go against their religious beliefs.
But me. I like science. I like it a lot. In fact, it has a great influence on how I feel about my spirituality.
(Let me segue on science. There are Laws… which are things that are proven beyond Mergatroid. Then there are Theories. And Postulations. And Hypothesis. These things are based on good excellent indications…. but not proven… 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt. Then there are those things called Studies. Heck. Anybody can run a study…. and the results change from month to month. “A recent study shows that ice-cream may increase flexibility in your right knee. And coffee is bad for you…. again.” Take those studies with a grain of salt (which is now good for you by the way.) But Scientific Law is Scientific Law.
Now, back to it.
You see, in science, there is a Law called the Conservation of Energy. It states that energy may neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore the sum of all the energies in the system is a constant. Energy in a system may take on various forms (e.g. kinetic, potential, heat, light). But the long and short of it is this. Energy Is.
I won’t argue it long and hard here. I will just simply say that I think our energy continues on, in some form or another, after our physical bodies die.
This may fit in with your religious views on people going to heaven and hell. Or… your atheist views about humans going on to be worm food. Or…. it may fit with your view on reincarnation. Or…. hauntings. Or… transcendence. Energy simply goes from one place to the next.
I don’t think any of us know for sure what happens when we go. But if we go… we may as well go in style. And the best style of all, I think…. is the kind with goodness in your heart, and kindness in your actions. Compassion in your thoughts. (Perhaps taking bad energy in a system, and turning it into a good energy.
