Christine Chau - Week 8

In this week's theme of Spirit Realm in Academia: A Movement for Spiritual Liberation, the readings this week break through the differences of science and spirituality in order to find a middle ground of the two, It's interesting to see how a lot of people are now turning away from this divine man named god who people claim to rule the world and to dictate the things that happen to us. In the journal article The significance of consciousness studies and quantum physics for researching spirituality, one man states that he has found the divine energy within himself and that he no longer feels as if god is doing that for him. "There is a connection between all things... Spirituality is an integrated, interconnected combination of people and things that join in relationship to each other to explore the gift of life". What's also in interesting about this journal article is that they bring up how ancient wisdom of how all life and energy were connected but is being found and integrated into modern science today. The integration of quantum physics and spirituality produced a new concept of "spiritual intelligence" which implied the human expression of values and a need for a deep meaning and purpose in life within one universe.  This spiritual intelligence I think personally for me is hard to obtain, not sure if it's my surroundings, or my inability to really be in tune with myself spiritually. It makes me wonder what is it that makes people more spiritually in tune with themselves? I know people who find it later on as they grow older. For example, I have a family member who has been able to find herself spiritually and be more in touch with herself mentally during this quarantine. She has had a lot of time to reflect on who she is and what she is able to do. She often finds herself more aware of her needs and feels a sense of awakening of who she truly is. I wonder when will I be able to find that spark within me spiritually, but maybe it will never come. As for connecting science into spirituality, I am excited to see where the journey goes with modern medicine and science with spirituality. There are more doctors being aware of holistic approaches to medicine and being cognitive of how spirituality can play a part on patients.
