- Science, the paranormal and spirituality
form a spectrum of sorts, ranging from the physical world and the logic
that science uses to describe and probe it, to consciousness and intuition
where the roots of the paranormal and spirituality can be found. The
paranormal mediates between our scientific and spiritual worldviews,
just as consciousness seems to bridge the enormous chasm between our
internal mental image of self and the external material world. Therefore,
a scientific study of paranormal phenomena seems the best way to understand
spirituality at a higher level of physical reality than just our normal
intuitive feelings for the world in which we live, our purpose in the
world and how we interact with it. Within this context, the scientific
study of the paranormal can be broken down into several historical periods.
Each period coincides with specific developments and advances in scientific
worldviews that are sometimes separated by paradigms shifts, both large
and small. This fact is important because a new change in scientific
worldview has recently begun to emerge and it coincides with new advances
in the scientific study of consciousness which will greatly enhance
and alter our worldview of the paranormal and spirituality.
