The original title has been Spiritual Science, but the term “spiritual” has not been understood by the crowds, since the crowds have not any idea what exactly being spiritual means, and misuse the word for activities and practices that have nothing in common with “spirit” in the true meaning of the word, and (mis)use it as a sort of a guarantee label for the completely ignorant who search for a deeper meaning in their life, while not already able to see the difference between fake and real.
The next title I used was: Human Sciences, which include philosophy, history, philology, musicology, linguistics, theater studies, literary studies, media studies, religious studies and sometimes even jurisprudence.
‘The human sciences’ is an increasingly used collective term. What exactly the term encompasses is an open-ended issue, ultimately because usage pragmatically leaves open philosophical questions about the ‘nature’ of being human. The term is principally one of convenience, especially used by scholars who see a breakdown of the search for unity in the social sciences, and who see disciplinary boundaries cutting across the possibilities for knowledge. In the Anglophone world, the category only exceptionally corresponds with institutional or disciplinary structures, past or present. In the Francophone world, however, ‘sciences de l’homme’ or ‘sciences humaines’ is a conventionally recognised division of knowledge. Literature addressing the human sciences overarches at least the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, linguistics, geography, economics, political science, psychology, and history, while in some hands it also draws on such areas as literary theory, organizational and business sciences, and cultural studies. The term signals an interest in general questions about the possibilities for systematic knowledge of human existence. In practice, there is emphasis on the relations between the social sciences and the humanities. Some anglophone scholars, however, sympathetic with the view that the natural sciences ground all knowledge, use ‘the human sciences’ to denote the project to integrate the social and psychological sciences with biology. Most scholars who use the term reject this, and leave open relations between forms of knowledge in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. – Source: Science Direct, Human Sciences: History and Sociology
But also that term is not covering the science that includes also the human spirit. The essence of “spirit” is not measurable with not any device, it is much more subtle than human thinking and thoughts, brain activity. Spirit is not related with emotions. Example, a metaphor: waves are only existing on the surface of the ocean. Emotions are waves. The ocean is totally calm and silent at its deepest point. Spirit is in its essence undisturbed calmness, not attached, free, and aware in a deep full silence of all there is around. This can occur in a deep meditation.
In Multerland blog I explain that religions 1 are a possible path to spirituality, but religions are not spiritual. True spirituality includes awareness of a higher human nature, knowing by experiencing what the higher human nature is. In religions people learn to copy and paste what is written in what they name holy books, copy and paste what priests, popes, imams or rabbis preach, but true spirituality is liberated from religious dogmas and books. Spirituality knows. A religion is a belief system, helps to accept what religions preach, it is theory, theology. Religions create understanding of the difference between good and bad, of virtues, of ethics. Hell though, is not a region in the universe, it is a realistic soul condition, that is created by the owner of the soul himself or herself, by following the inner voice of the ego, doing that what is not healthy, not harmonious, and based on lust to satisfy lower needs related with an absent consciousness. Heaven is not a region in the universe either, is a realistic soul condition, that is created by the owner of the soul himself or herself, by doing that what is healthy, harmonious, serving Creation, is without ego, and is Light, Peace, Higher Awareness. Religions however preach, as we witness in the collective west, for war and even genocides 2.
Human sciences are a possible path to awareness, and awareness can eventually expand into a higher awareness, during a natural process in which not any step is forced. This needs true guidance, that can be found in books, but also in human beings who have walked that path, know the pitfalls, and have reached the highest level possible in human development, on earth.
Spirituality is not denying the physical body and its needs, emotions, or thinking, being spiritual means that all human layers: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual are integrated in one’s existence, and in harmony with each other. It is the connection between earth and cosmos. Without the connection with earth, via two feet on the ground, true spirituality is impossible.
Spiritual Sciences is named in this blog from now on: Cosmic Sciences. Earth is part of the cosmos, a paradise, but the human being considered himself the highest creature, God, and believes that the human brain is able to fathom Creation and its laws. This has created the reality of today.
That has to be stopped. Awareness is needed. Cosmic Science.
