(3,991 posts)Or honestly, any of a number of other fields in scientific inquiry. ALL the magic is there, ALL the mystery is there, within science. Scientists don't know the truth, but they are faithfully following the paths reason lead them to the current conclusions, and they are more aligned with the truth than arrogant deceivers who claim to know it all. I have become one of them, and frankly, its so satisfying: Anything is possible with science, the future is in our hands. When you connect with it, the excitement is electric, others around you can feel it, and want to learn more reason and ethically beautiful zen paths themselves.
Magic and holiness don't need names, they arise spontaneously from honestly approaching the universe we live in. Releasing religion from your life means releasing fear, and trust me, you will not be let down. Every little bird must take the brave action jump from the nest before it can fly. What kind of creator would let you down in pursuing reason and ethics in this manner?
JUMP!
