Scientific truth - it is incomplete, the object must be returned to its place in cosmic life

10/01/2026

When scientists describe a mineral, a plant, an animal or a human being, they cannot be faulted; what they say is true. However, it is only partially true. For it to be the whole truth, they would have to place the object of their study back in the cosmic life to which it belongs. Detached from this life, the stone, the plant, the animal or the person is deprived of its essence. This is why, as long as scientists continue down this path, what they call scientific truth will always be incomplete and mangled. Do not misunderstand me; this is not about calling into question the value or the benefits of science. The real problem lies elsewhere, in the minds of researchers, in their attitude towards life, and in their inability to connect the particular objects of their study to life as a whole. Beings and things do not exist as separate entities, they exist as part of a whole and these parts are interconnected. In order to study a branch, a leaf or a fruit, we cut it off and isolate it. No, the fruit should be studied whilst still on the tree if we are to understand it as the culmination of all the energies circulating in the universe.
