A Vision of Unity: Outlines of a Holistic Worldview
Keywords:
Science and religion, perennial philosophy, holistic perspective, plurality and unity of religionsAbstract
Science and religion, from a commonsense point of view, are divided by what seems to be an unbridgeable gulf, the one dealing with matter and the other with the invisible world of the spirit. This assumption, however, rests on a fundamentally distorted conception of reality. For reality is not to be split into distinct entities, which can be neatly separated from each other, as the static conception of the world would have us believe. What we call ‘matter’ and ‘spirit’ are by no means discreet entities, but different facets of one whole, or, in other words, different levels of vibrations in the endless energetic fluctuations of Being.
