Scientific truth - and the truth of life
Scientists cannot be faulted when it comes to describing minerals, plant life, animals or even human beings. But this truth is only partial. For it to be complete, they would have to place the object of their study back into the context of cosmic life, where it belongs. When stones, plants, animals and human beings are removed from this life, they are deprived of what is most important. This is why, as long as researchers continue down this path, what they call scientific truth will always be an incomplete, impaired truth. Do not misunderstand me; it is not a question of doubting the value and relevance of science. The real problem lies elsewhere, in the mentality of researchers, in their attitude toward life, in their inability to link their particular objects of study to the whole of life. Beings and things do not exist separately; they exist as parts of a whole, and these parts are connected. Branches, leaves or fruits are removed and cut up to be studied. No, the fruit should be studied on the tree; that way they will understand that it is the end result of all the energies circulating in the universe.
