We are now in a time when that split is beginning to be seen (by some) to be over. That doesn't mean the scientific perspective has won and explains everything. I believe that is the point behind our work on the Other World. It does mean that the "religious" ability to have a truly significant role in our human journey it will need to move out of the two story universe and into a new understanding. There is a need for a "Grand Design" that allows the two domains of life (objective, subjective - explicit, implicit) to be integrated. This means not everything will have a scientific answer (explanation) nor will we have to say, "Well, you're just going to have to accept this on faith". We will arrive at a point where there is a mutual recognition of each domain and how they interact, inform and compliment each other. As to the "Grand Design", it is the contention of some that the creative process, that which underlies all, is inherently intelligent and that intelligence can be understood.</div><div><br></div><div>Please continue to comment, it is of value.</div><div><br></div><div>G&P,</div><div><br></div><div>Jack<br><div><div>On May 20, 2012, at 12:03 PM, <a href="mailto:LAURELCG@aol.com">LAURELCG@aol.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">
