Leaps of Consciousness

Scientism is a philosophy.

It holds that science is the only way to determine what is true, and it also includes using science in inappropriate situations.

Unfortunately, scientism has taken over science. Science’s limited view of objectivity has become dogma, and it ignores the qualitative and experiential things it can’t measure or comprehend.

This is similar to Christianity’s view that God is male rather than a Gnostic balanced Father-Mother God. Balance is essential in all things: Father Heaven, and Mother Earth.

In the scientific method, if two people do the same experiment and get the same result, then the part of nature being tested is said to be ‘true’. In the experiment the subject, the observer, observes the object. The hypothesis or test is ‘ true ‘ if the actual results agree with the expected results.

Science prides itself on objectivity, the quantitative measurements that determine whether a theory is true or false. However, it pretends the observer, or subject, is nowhere to be seen and it ignores any impact the observer has on the experiment.

Scientism ignores life’s qualitative, subjective area: personal experiences, feelings and consciousness. Indeed, consciousness is known as the ‘hard problem’ of science.

Young’s ‘double slit’ experiment started quantum physics. It showed photons of light can be waves or particles - it depends on the observer and the photons are aware of being observed - they are conscious and are not inert and lifeless ‘matter’.

In Quantum Revelation, Paul Levy shows there is no separation, only one Mind, one Consciousness and that matter does not exist.

Oops! Bye bye scientism and materialism.
