Science need to include consciousness and thus, good qualities and values

 

Natural science limits itself to observing and finding out about physical reality through the physical senses. It forms a limited picture of reality that seems to reinforce materialism and superficiality. Our consciousness, both thoughts and emotions, are part of the human being and must be included in scientific thinking.

The way scientific research is conducted today, science is leading people on wrong paths. Yes, some of it may be exciting, and some of what science has found is important, but now we need to ask ourselves: Does today's research, serve a development and a society where good values ​​are at focus?

I think, what scientific thinking needs today is recognition of the importance of consciousness. Unfortunately, at the time when Galileo and Descartes laid the foundation for the research rules that are still used today, they were not able to see what we see when studying this now. I do not blame them. For them it was natural to begin to find out about reality, based on philosophy, mathematics and their physical senses. With that, they distanced themselves from religious thinking that lacked logical reasoning. Until then, all research had been done to honor God.

But does that mean, that there is no consciousness behind creation? If you use logic, you will soon realize that there is intelligence behind what we experience in life, in existence. An intelligence that is not in accordance with the theories of evolution that came in the wake of Darwin. And which is not in accordance with religions either!

Unfortunately, scientists in the natural sciences have been so busy following old rulesof being objective in their research that they forget the tool they themselves use as humans - their thoughts! This has led science into a dead end. Instead, we must ask new types of questions in relation to the very fundamental things that science has actually found. We must ask philosophical questions about the particles that everything consists of. For what is a thought? What is a feeling?

We need research that includes consciousness, to be able to find paths to agreement, justice, and peace.
