And until you begin to "sense" the presence of life in a grain of sand, the magma of the earth's core, the moon, a useless meteorite drifting through space, on up to the blazing furnaces of the suns in full blown galaxy clusters, you will never understand what I, spacedout, and others in this forum are talking about. |
Can I say I've sensed 'life' in a quantum mechanical
particle and call that good enough?
But yeah, it's probably better to just say that I 'exclude' all things termed spiritual and leave it that way. At the same time however, those things that are termed as 'spiritual', from your point of view, exist in my reality as well. It's for the same reason I emphasized particle above (and got rid of 'wave', as you'll see in many physics texts).
