Thoughts on Spirituality Inspired by Email
An email was sent to me that read:
“I personally am very interested in the ideas pertaining to quantum physics, how the physical world melds with the spiritual world, how they are actually intimately connected. It fascinates me that even in the era of The Yoga Sutras, Patanjali and other yogis had figured out the theories that quantum physicists today are still mulling over. So a question… .
Where and how exactly do the physical and the spiritual worlds connect, and how can we as spiritual seekers use this information to “progress” along our paths? Are there ways that understanding the nature of energy can help us in our daily, workaday lives?”
My response was:
“There is no connection between the spiritual and physical worlds because they are one whole. You can use this information to progress by 1st living from this understanding and thereby acknowledging that every action, thought, thing, etc, is “spiritual” and second by inquiring to figure out what part of you led you to believe there was a separation. Seeking to understand “the nature of energy” as you called it is a distraction keeping you from knowing what is important, which is knowing your whole Self. Find out who wants to know how understanding the nature of energy can help you in your every day life. “
