Excerpts from Recent Lectures and Guidance

What advancements have been made regarding the exploration of the spiritual realm? The principles of exploration of the spiritual realm are completely different, and in a sense, in polar contrast to those pertaining to the exploration of science.

Scientific exploration is founded and accumulated on the of objective fact. The very existence of science comes from its foundation of fact. I believe that this is a premise that everyone commonly accepts.

Then what is at the foundation of exploration of the spiritual world? In contrast to the exploration of the outer world, which is contingent upon objective fact, the exploration of the inner-self is contingent upon experience more than anything else. Through this, we can see that the differences of approach toward the exploration of the outer world based on fact, and that of the inner world based on experience are diametrically opposed.

In addition to these completely different set of attributes that lie at the premise of both explorations, scientific fact utilize devices to conduct measurements and quantification, enabling the sharing of knowledge gained with others.

In contrast, consider experience. How would you share experience? For instance, you can talk to others to share your experience. You can also adopt similar actions or act together with another person to share experience; and we can do this by resonating with one another or being mutually empathetic.
