Keeping Science and Spirituality Separate

by Angela Levesque

What is truth? This is an important question, but an even more interesting question is how do we decide truth? Often, we think of truth as objective and measurable, but my truth might not be yours. And aren’t there different layers of truth as our minds expand and our understanding deepens? Truth can take on different forms. In this technological age, we have so much access to information, opinions and ideas. Yet, there seems to be little wisdom to be gained. How do we know what to believe? Is it a story that only the five senses can tell us; a story that can be replicated and reproduced through the scientific method? Or maybe it is a story that can only be told when we embrace our multi-sensory nature; a tale of intuition, artistry, mythology and psychic abilities?

Some individuals think these stories are in direct contrast to another, and that only one can exist. Then, there are many of us that are desperate to find a way for them to converge into a single truth. Let’s consider for a moment that we do both science and spirituality a disservice when we want them to mesh. Perhaps, one doesn’t need to fit neatly in the other; rather they are parallel paths, and they both tell stories of truth. Each one provides us with a different offering and a way to understand the universe, and each is equally important to us navigating our lives with purpose and conviction.

Religion and/or spirituality is primarily a faith-based worldview that encompasses a belief in one or more deities, sacred or supernatural beings and looks to experience and understand the underlying connections of humanity. It is the language and the stories of our soul. These are truths that live beyond our understanding of space and time, reason and logical thinking. It is through faith and our experience of the mystical and multi-dimensional realms that give meaning and purpose to our world. These truths are not easily quantified or explained as a string of data, but they help us to understand who we are to one another and more importantly, who we are to ourselves.
