Scientific Dogma

The root problem with "main stream" science is that it is fundamentally materialistic and objective ... it assumes that the sensed reality is real and then develops theories to predict the evolution of that objective reality in time.  Shamans and Eastern Avatars ... and Christ and the Essenes ... knew that perceived reality was really conscious structured energy .... responding to mind (individually and collectively).  Here Seth points out the life-sucking implications of such scientific dogma.

“There are some people who believe that life is meaningless, that it has no purpose, and that its multitudinous parts fell together through the workings of chance alone.  Obviously, I am speaking here of scientific dogma, but such a dogma is far more religious than scientific, for it also expects to be believed without proof, on faith alone.

“Such ideas are bound to color any of their followers’ ideas about other subjects also: sexuality, economics, and certainly concepts of war and peace.

“Again, each portion of nature is propelled by the inner vitality, energy, and life force within it.  The physical body cannot flourish if the individual believes that it and its works are without meaning.  Such philosophies do not give man a stake in nature, or in the universe.”
