Maiden Voyage - Science & Beliefs

This is the first blog posting at http://www.e-hhw.com/.  This maiden voyage is intended to provide groundwork for future postings. Hopefully someone out there will find this message in a bottle. 

Let’s begin by leaving the safe harbor of common beliefs.

Humans have two essential components—the physical and the soul.

The physical component is comprised of what we receive from our lineage (DNA) and
what we learn from our environment. This physical aspect includes the body (physical tissue) and the mind (intellect and emotions). The physical vessel is unique to each human being and constrained by time and space—a placeholder we refer to as self.

The component I’m calling soul is the enlivening energy shared by the living. Soul is common to all life, is eternal, and transcends the empirical bounds of time and space. Soul is the vigor present during our lifetimes and absent when the physical component becomes devastated by time. Soul is life. (I use transcend and transcendence to connote that which lies beyond our current understanding—and empirical to connote that which can be observed, analyzed, and verified.)

Physical is infinitely diverse. Soul is singularly boundless.

Finding ourselves now on the high seas, our navigation is based upon our current understanding of the empirical.

We humans continually voyage into the unknown. Evolution has taught us to fear the unknown. How do we know we won’t fall off the edge of the earth when we venture further than our predecessors?

Evolution also supports reliance upon empirical evidence. Our ancestors who learned to rely upon empirical evidence perpetuated the gene pool. The less astute sometimes acted on false beliefs or ignorance—the odds provided the consequences.

We now find ourselves approaching the edge—the unknown.

I believe there is transcendence of the four-dimensional world in which we find our existence (time being the fourth). Science now embraces the existence of more dimensions than the four with which humanity identifies. Science has also determined there is more mass and energy in the universe than we can explain—referring to this phenomenon as Black Mass and Black Energy. According to current science, Black Mass and Black Energy make up well over 75% of the universe—i.e., we empirically understand less than 25% of the universe’s existing mass and energy.

It seems logical to adamantly rely upon the tenets of science—while believing in transcendence of our four-dimensional existence.

Humanity appears to believe science and transcendence are mutually exclusive. The empirical evidence does not, as far as I can tell, support this belief.

I seek not to espouse my beliefs, but to have them challenged.

I solicit all feedback.
