occasion take place within the halls of minds and scientific

Mahatmas. And the best we and those who call themselves Scientists 
can do is to intuit the truth within our study, as anyone can do and 
upon which Mahatmas have focused their lives. I think when this is 
seen then authority will be seen as a questionable term and 
especially not based in the fact that one may have a Ph. D  or is 
regularly published in recognized journals.

In fact, since the basis for the perception of scientific truths may 
be as I have said, then we are all free to know it, while 
simultaneously being responsible for our knowing it.  

I think this holds true for our perceptions of 
what is called God, ethics and even string theory."

Dallas,

     What came to mind, while reading your beautifully put post, was 
that thesophical thought, by definition, must contain all truly 
scientific awareness of Nature's exitence, and that the Gita is 
actually a mythological and philosophical expose expressing this.

     Therefore, perhaps where scientists and just folks err, is that 
they presume that Science as a cultural instituion is science as a 
disciplined focus upon Nature's existence. Yes, true science must on 
occassion take place within the halls of minds and scientific 
institutions, but the only true science is the wisdom of the 
Mahatmas. And the best we and those who call themselves Scientists 
can do is to intuit the truth within our study, as anyone can do and 
upon which Mahatmas have focused their lives. I think when this is 
seen then authority will be seen as a questionable term and 
especially not based in the fact that one may have a Ph.d or is

for the perception of scientific truths may be as I have said, then 
we are all free to know it, while simultaneously being responsable

what is called God, ethics and even string theory."

Just as an addendum to my previous comments, the following might be 
poetically describing the compassion of our karma as a method of 
waking us to the truth as scientists of our lives.

Whatever you do, don't shut off your pain; accept your pain and 
remain vulnerable. However desperate you become, accept your pain as it is, 
because it is in fact trying to hand you a priceless gift: the chance of 
discovering, through spiritual practice, what lies behind sorrow.
