Q&A: Can science and spirituality agree and prove each other?

I think science is a great way to get to prove spirituality and find out the truth about everything. Quantum Physicist Albert Eisterin once said “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.” Scientists without following their inspirations and challenging current scientific findings will not achieve any breakthrough in our technology, lifestyle etc.

However, spirituality without the back of science can lead people to believe in things what are not true and can be very dangerous, and there have been examples where some religious groups manipulate people’s grief, fear and anger to achieve their own desire for power and control.

But we also need to remember that science very much relect our current level of collective consciousness as well. For example, 400 years ago, people believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth and it was accepted as truth until later some scientists challenged the idea and found more proof that it is the Earth that revolves the Sun. Quantum physics also proves the Oberver Effect which states that the intention of the observer affects the result of the experiments, which coincides with spiritual teachings that it is our perception and intention that create our reality.

Q&A: Why do you think spirituality is not taught more in school?

I think part of the reason a lot of people shy away from spirituality and deep self reflection is because most people choose instant gratification than real growth and clarity. Especially in western society, most poeple’s lives reflect an addictive nature and feel the constant need to fill their life with something – texting, TV, internet, magazines (reading other people’s life to suppress the feeling that their own life may be boring and pointless), fast food, junk food (using food to suppress anxieties, fear, or grief), use alcohol or drugs to relax (because there is deep anxiety and restlessness within). Technology can benefit our life greatly and can be great tools to search for and receive advanced knowledge if we follow our desires to grow rather than using them to suppress and escape.

The other reason that we don’t really teach spirituality at school is because it challenges a lot of the current beliefs. For example, it is true that we can heal ourselves through diaphramatic breathing, mediation, emotional healing and herbal treatment. If people were taught this, a lot of the pharmaceutical companies will go out of business. If you pay attention to drug’s effects, you’ll realize they don’t really heal people, they only manage symptoms. That’s why most drugs have side effects because they create imbalances in the body that is not natural. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most lucrative industries in the world along with alcohol and arms industries. All of them have been abused to make money for people who seek excessive wealth, power and control. People tend to use drugs rather than natural healing because of the societal conditioning that makes people judge their own feelings and emotions and look for external means to escape the emotions, which is very detrimental because every time we deny our feelings and emotions, we deny ourselves.

Q&A: As a person ages, would it make them harder to release their suppressed emotions?

I mentioned age is a factor because most people suppressed their emotions most of their life due to societal conditioning. We internalize those judgements such as crying means we are weak, by getting angry with people, we feel powerful and can get what we want etc. That’s why for most people, as they age, they become more fearful, frustrated and cynical. These can reflect on their physical appearance as well. Our physical appearances partly reflect our emotional state. For example, radiant eyes reflect a person’s clarity and hopefulness. Gloomy eyes reflects pessimism, fear, grief or hopelessness.

After a person started their spiritual journey, their chronological age becomes less a factor because their mentality and beliefs have changed and start to perceive everything as a reflection of part of themselves. As person progresses more on the spiritual path, they actually become more childlike, humourous, fun to be around and less afraid of others’ judgements. Some people who are very advanced spiritually can actually reverse aging as they appear younger and people around them can see or sense a glowing radiance around them.

Q&A: Emotions are a voliate subject, how can one be selective and choose certain emotions to feel and release?

We don‘t use the mind to choose what emotions we want to work with. We simply allow emotions come up and usually the stronger the emotion is, the faster it will jump out.

Take me for an example, I do breathing exercise everyday to allow emotions come up and feel what emotions I have been suppressing. Most people have suppressed their emotions so much that intellectually they think they are one way, but in reality, they are another way. For instance, if a person think he/she is peaceful but get annoyed or frustrated by outside circumstances. Then this person has supressed emotions and the event serves to trigger his/her suppressed emotions. Psychologists call those subconscious emotions or beliefs. Most people project their own feelings and expectations on other people and outside circumstances. When a person close their heart that they become angry or frustrated which are fear based. In most cases, they are afriad of losing control and completely letting go.

Anger and fear are blocking/capping emotions. The real causal emotions are grief and shame that one has denied and suppressed.

Q&A: What range of periods would you agree would take an average person to acquire a high level of awareness?

How fast a person progress is a subjective thing. It depends on how eager they would like to progress, how willing they allow themselves to really face, experience and release their eomtional injuries. I have met people who have progressed relatively fast. Every year, their life are becoming better, more joyful and have more freedom. I have also met people who are struggling with face and experiencing their emotions and not taking responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and actions. After 3 to 5 years, they still create similar results. But usually the younger a person is (less emotional baggages) and the less emotional closed a person is, the faster he/she progresses. Or maybe I should say a person who is younger at heart, more emotionally open, and  braver to accept life challenges tends to progress faster.
