Spiritual Philosophy is the unprejudiced, innocent and curious study which leads one to the observation and exploration of Life.
Any scientist whose instruments are defective will not understand his or her experiments. We in our own experiment of life too often rely, without question, on instruments which have been intentionally designed by their makers to distort. It is as if our microscope stands were tilted, our telescope lenses intentionally misaligned or our weight scales were designed to provide erratic readings.
What are these instruments? They are the religious beliefs, governmental principles, and economic models that we accept as being true, verified and calibrated, but which really function as misaligned lenses, tilted bases and erratic readings.
Spiritual Philosophy intends to question for the purpose of finding better questions and to avoid all answers. It seeks the coordination of science and art, logic and intuition. It is content to define Life simply as "a Sacred Mystery" to be explored as a continually unfolding enrichment. It presumes that Life is present throughout the universe, that all Life is joined and connected, and that Life is an eternal relationship with the universe. Nothing that is presented in this experiment is intended as an endorsement or answer to anything, but only as an input to the great Philosophic Enquiry and Democratic Dialog which is interested in the understanding of Life. This is done not to seek any answers, but to take part in the great party we are priviledged to attend.
