Meditation Gets Scientific

Every thinking mind realises the need for truth and knowledge. From the most ancient times men have sough: to change their perceptions of the world and themselves, deliberately altering their thoughts in an effort to expand their sense of awareness and wisdom. In the past, we have been taught, almost wholly, by exhortations and traditions with their attendent myths, legends and superstitions. We can now be taught by facts proved by science. Science cannot negate eternal truth nor can religion negate a fact. And hence it is wrong to believe that scientific discoveries can negate the truths of theology and/or of philosophy. It is equally wrong to say that the so-called revealed truths can ever negate the findings of science. Many of the truths known to philosophy and science can now pave the way for more truths and knowledge which may be woven into wis. dom and used for the benefit of mankind. It is necessary, however, that the ancient methodology of disseminating knowledge and their interpretations of the eternal wisdom be expanded, modified and restated in terms that encompass newly discovered aspects.
Science has now proved (as we shall see presently) that life's processes for man lie almost wholly within himself and are amenable to control. We eithter progress or retrogress depending on whether we control and subdue or be subdued by our primal drives, animal impulses and carnal desires.
