For the same reason, there is currently little meeting between the two either. The current scientifc paradigm does not include consciousness or mind as a fundamental reality, but seeks to explain everything in physical terms. But this is because it has not yet included the inner realm of mind in its scope. When science explores mind as fully as it has explored space, time and matter, it will create a new worldview one that includes spirituality. Spirituality, on the other hand, is often very unscientific in its approach to self-liberation.
People believe things simply because someone has said it or written it.
But this is hardly the best way to arrive at truth. Only believe it when you have tested it for yourself. In this respect spiritual growth can, and should, be very scientific. This is important not only to make sure that we do not deceive ourselves, but also to ensure that our spiritual progress is as rapid as possible. And rapid spiritual growth is something the world today needs very badly.
