SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY & SPIRITUALITY
In this section we can find some quotes from famous neuroscientists, philosophers, mystics and sages of all time, who continue to be an important source of universal inspiration, providing an integrative and panoramic vision of Health, Life and Death.
If a culture treats a particular illness with compassion and enlightened understanding,
then sickness can be seen as a challenge, as a healing crisis and opportunity.
Being sick is then not a condemnation or a moral judgement,
but a movement in a larger process of healing and restoration.
When sickness is viewed positively and in supportive terms,
then illness has a much better chance to heal,
with the concomitant result that
the entire person may grown and be enriched in the process.
KEN WILBER
American transpersonal phylosopher, father of the Integral Theory
“Integrative” simply means that this approach attempts to include
as many important truths from as many disciplines as possible
-from East as well as the West, from premodern and modern and postmodern,
from the hard sciences of physics to the tender sciences of spirituality.

Settling for the view that illnesses, mental or physical,
are primarily genetic allows us to avoid disturbing questions
about the nature of the society in which we live.
If “science” enables us to ignore poverty or man-made toxins
or a frenetic and stressful social culture as contributors to disease,
we can look only to simple answers: pharmacological and biological.

Science, despite its incredible progress,
it cannot and will never be able to explain everything.
Each time it will gain new areas to what today seems inexplicable.
But the frontier lines of knowledge, however far they rise,
they will always have before them an infinite world of mystery.

It seems plain and self-evident, yet it needs to be said:
the isolated knowledge obtained by a group of specialists in a narrow field
has in itself no value whatsoever,
but only in its synthesis with all the rest of knowledge
and only inasmuch as it really contributes in this synthesis
toward answering the demand, ‘Who are we?

The practice of mindfulness is, in my opinion,
a love adventure with the essence of life,
an adventure with what is, with what we could call “the truth” and that,
for me, includes beauty, the unknown and the possible,
things as they are, simultaneously present here and now
(since everything is already here)
and also everywhere
(because everything is also already there).

”Mystics understand the roots of the Tao but not its branches;
scientists understand its branches but not its roots.
Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science; but man needs both.”
”Eastern mysticism provides a beautiful harmonic framework
for the most modern theories of our physical world. (…)
We will often find statements that it is almost impossible to say
if they were made by physicists or Eastern mystics.”
”If physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially mystical,
it returns, in a way, to its beginning, 2,500 years ago…
This time, however, it is not only based on intuition,
but also on experiments of great precision and sophistication,
and on a rigorous and consistent mathematical formalism.”

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe,
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself,
his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest,
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison
by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Ours has been an extraordinarily precocious species, especially when it comes to the development and use of tools, language, art, thought, science and technology. But there are other domains such as self-knowledge, wisdom and compassion –innate, but sadly underdeveloped at the moment– in which we still have much to learn.

My consciousness entered a phase
where I felt like I was one with the universe.
For the right mind (right hemisphere),
there is no time other than the present moment:
the timeless now.
It is a time when everything and everyone is connected as one.
The left hemisphere manifests that concept of time
in which our moments are divided into past, present and future.
It is also the center of our ego, which defines our “I”.
What a wonderful gift this attack has been that has allowed me to choose and decide
who and how I want to be in the world.
Before the stroke, I thought I was a product of this brain,
with minimal power to decide what I felt or thought.
Since the hemorrhage, my eyes have been opened
to how much decision-making I really have about what goes on between my ears…
