Except it's not always right! Nei...<b>Science</b>.... Except it's not always right! Neither does it have all the answers!<br />Science, too is corrupt and riddled with politics, scam, scandals, etc. Spirituality is often used synonymous with blind faith! Same can be said about Science. For simple things yes, Science is great, but what about atoms, electrons, quantum physics, string theory, black holes, you and me as a common man HAVE to take someone's word for it. Peer-review is almost a joke, there was an expose recently that said the results from close to 50% of peer-reviewed papers could not be replicated by anyone else!<br />The person describing science/experiments is also a human, afflicted with same human vices as any other. While all makes sense, we have no way of practically verifying everything science says. Point being: One cannot blindly follow any faith (un)spiritual leader more than one can follow science!<br />Something non-quantum'y take health-science for example, esp. in US of A. What it claimed about nutrition 50 yrs ago and what they are saying today (fat-sugar-carbs), not that they didn't know the truth then, they didn't want to let the truth out.<br /><br />In the end, it's a judgement call one has to make with an objective mind. Having had the good fortune of met some great Gurus myself (not as part of any organization!) treading the path of spirituality with self-help books is no where close to the one taken with the Guru!<br /><br />Sadly, too many bad-CEO's have abused people in the guise of spirituality for their own ill-gains.<br /><br />But true, in the end, self-help books or not, CEO or not, be a good human being, that's all it boils down to! :)<br />My policy is very simple and 100% effective... when in doubt about motives, always follow the money trail! It is yet to fail me!The Shaolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608355545765137366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827645.post-24641988413962674252015-09-09T15:50:11.863-07:002015-09-09T15:50:11.863-07:00Your blogs have been very interesting, been follow...Your blogs have been very interesting, been following them for quite some time.
