The Return to Wonder


II

You must cultivate the discerning, disciplined scrutiny of the scientific mind

To discover the original nature that abides within all dreams great to small.

 

 

V

Discerning this is very much a scientific exploration.

You will find the results duplicate the many experiments

Throughout humanity's evolution in consciousness.

 

 

VIII

Many a scientist has through microscope and telescope discovered

What seers across time and space intuited long before history's origin.

 

 

XIV

The nuances of science are ever in the eye of the beholder.

 

* * * *

If something is true, it can be verified by many eyes.

Subjective assertions are not the harbor of science.

 

 

XV

Science, as so many discern it, is the ultimate expression of dualistic notion.

 

* * * *

If you understand science and its methodology,

You know it has been proven beyond all doubt that all is one,

And that you are an equal part of that oneness,

Witness to its eternal mystery.

 

 

XVI

Quantum is the scientific name for God.

 

 

XIX

Scientists are currently saying all that is manifest

Came from an atomic point smaller than an electron.

Where exactly do you as an individual personality

Fit when the universe someday closes shop?

 

XXII

That rational science does not fully accept and embrace

The mystery as its origin proves its incomplete nature.

These thoughts are riddles, paradoxes, reflections,

Designed to chip at your rational mind until it cracks.

 

 

XXV

Science has loosed humanity

From the binds of false superstitions,

But its tether binds the mind in a noose of its own.

 

 

XXVI

Science has done extremely well at discerning parts, but who glues together the whole?

 

 

XXVII

That we require scientific data regarding our negligent impact

Is proof enough that any wisdom and common sense and sanity,

Have been cast aside along with concern for all life's survival.

 

 

XXX

That singular moment scientists label the big bang

Is the same creation you experience with any insight.

You are the dreamtime of awareness in manifest form.

 

 

XXXIX

Scientists deny their intuition

By declaring subject and object

Exist independent of the observer.

 

 

XLIII

A true scientist does not pretend

Separation between subject and object

Is even the most remote possibility.

 

 

XLIV

The men of science who deny its intuitive origin

Only delude themselves and the ignorant

Who subscribe without discernment.

 

* * * *

Scientists and those they so easily sway must realize that science is not absolute.

LI

Civilization has risen and must ultimately decline.

Humanity must inevitably return to its roots,

Despite the dreams of science fiction.

 

 

LVII

Scientists need to break apart the universe

For the sake of knowledge and understanding,

But reality sanctions no division, for none truly exist.

 

 

LVIII

You do not need scientific proof or expertise to point out the obvious.

 

 

LXV

Sometimes the scientist in you wants to end it all

Just to discover if there really is anything

Beyond this physical plane.

Does anyone really know anything?

Or are so many merely spouting comfortable lies

Which do no one any real good and only increase the confusion?

 

 

LXVII

Put yourself in that cage, that aquarium, that back yard.

Put yourself in the hands of a scientific experiment,

The ripping end of a chainsaw, a shrinking net,

A hunter’s gun sight, or a spray of poison.

Empathy brews a world of bedfellows.

 

* * * *

We are fixated on believing knowledge is the key to everything lucid and sensible.

That science will solve all the problems created by denial of intuitive common sense.

 

 

LXVIII 

Just because some scientist or researcher or engineer,

Has not figured out a way to measure something,

Does not mean it is not true or does not exist.

If you are here-now, anything is possible.

It is a fairly large theater out there,

And no one can be at all sure

About anything, anywhere, anytime.

 

 

LXXI

If these thoughts represent something true,

Any mystic-scientist will realize the same unicity.

 

 

LXXIII

Science is the study of limitation.

 

* * * *

Science infuses great detail in its studies,

But can never truly fathom the mind

Which intuits its every invention.

 

* * * *

The delusion of science is that you can know everything.

 

 

LXXV

At the core of all scientific theory is a huge bag of empty words.

 

 

LXXVII

Science alone is not competent enough to lead humanity out of its many creations.

 

 

LXXVIII

How much our fellow earthlings have suffered for all our ‘scientific’ research.

How would we fare if the creatures of this garden orb were to judge us

For the incalculable tortures our war upon nature has inflicted?

 

 

LXXIX

Science fiction is fiction no longer fiction.

 

 

LXXXII

Only the most savvy scientists ever figure out

They are always going to lag behind

In the quest for knowledge.

 

* * * *

Science is the creation and study of knowledge.

 

 

LXXXIII

 

Science only sees what it can measure, which can create stuckness in the big picture.

 

* * * *

By its very nature, science must ever lag behind,

Willfully dragging the ever-increasing weight

Of its insatiable quest for knowledge.

 

* * * *

Suicide can be considered a scientific experiment.

 

 

LXXXIV

How arid and unrewarding the sciences become

When they cannot face the chaotic order of reality.

 

* * * *

Science is its own form of superstition; just another collusion of illusion.

 

* * * *

Science is just another finite paradigm, as fallible as any other.

 

 

LXXXV

Scientists are really just bean counters in white coats.

 

 

LXXXIX

Science is limited by its attachment to measurement.

 

 

XCII

Philosophy is the highest science.

 

 

XCIV

Science is just another measurable paradigm.

 

* * * *

Science is methodical in its measuring obsession.

 

 

XCVI

Anyone with a scientific inclination just naturally

Scrutinizes the many nuances and vagaries

Of whatever they happen to be doing.

 

 

XCVIII

And all the lemming scientists measuring away,

Trying to confirm whether or not a cliff lies ahead.

CI

 

Being a scientist, for many, seems to bypass the need for personal responsibility.

 

* * * *

A scientist’s greatest delusion is that any measurement is ultimately real.

 

 

CII

One wonders if scientists and mathematicians

Truly understand what the word infinity means.

 

* * * *

Science maintains the veils of make-believe.

 

 

CIII

Science says, if it cannot be measured, it does not exist.

Exactly.

 

 

CV

Science is not going to save you.

 

* * * *

The basic key to science, mathematics, technology, and the like,

Is understanding they are built upon arteries of logic.

Once you see their fundamental reasoning,

The mystery becomes apparent.

 

 

CXIII

Western industrial, technological, scientific thinking

Has infected the rest of the world to such a degree

That the result can only be disaster and mayhem.

 

 

CXVI

How many times in its brief history has the church we call science

Proven itself to be just as dogmatic and narrow-minded

As what Galileo faced in the church of his day?

Why is it so difficult for so many scientists

To understand their theories are merely

Works in progress, not security blankets.

That we are never ever really going to be sure

Of very many things in this incredible mystery theater,

And that science has ever only been tinkering with limited data.

 

 

CXX

 

Do scientists really believe all their measurements add up to anything?

 

 

CXXI

Will the scientific mind, whatever the discipline,

Ever see that not even one measurement is real?

 

* * * *

What is the state of mind of a scientist

Who has discerned the mystic awareness?

Clean laboratory, light Bunsen burner.

 

 

CXXIII 

Telescopes and microscopes see further and further,

And scientists measure in every way possible,

But still they have not found the answer.

 

* * * *

Scientists and baseball aficionados share a passion for useless data.

 

 

CXXV

Will scientists ever run out of things to measure, or see that nothing can be?

 

 

CXXXII

 

Of what use is the exactness of science when measurement is no longer important?

 

* * * *

If wisdom be true, it will be seen by all who see; that is the science of inner vision.

 

* * * *

If there are politics, it is not pure science.

 

 

CXLIV

Only scientists question the obvious.

 

 

CXLV

Valid science, legitimate science, is akin to real religion,

Where wisdom is used to define the context and direction.

* * * *

Consider inward inquiry a scientific experiment.

 

 

CXLVI

How far will science and technology go

Before nature reigns its endless manipulation

Back from the brink of foolish endeavor?

 

 

CXLVII

Objectivity is merely a game science plays with itself.

 

 

CXLIX

Has science truly made a better world?

 

 

CLI

A world run by politicians, lawyers, accountants, doctors,

Engineers, scientists, bean-counting bureaucrats, and priests,

Is not a world destined to do well for any sort of long-haul.

 

 

CLVI

 

Scour the mind as a scientist would an atom or the universe, but without all the naming.

 

* * * *

We have not yet deeply, profoundly realized

That the tap root of science is subjective intuition.

From where else can any hypothesis come?

 

 

CLVIII

Objectivity is the cornerstone of science,

Which crumbles like an Egyptian mummy

Upon the slightest serious examination.

 

 

CLXIV

How ridiculous that we wait

For scientists and statisticians and pundits

To tell us how insane it is.

 

 

CLXVI

It does not take a rocket scientist.



CLXVII

Science is very good at measuring things it kills.

 

* * * *

Life is not a science.

 

 

CLXXXIII

These words are merely observations.

Which you alone, must test out against your own,

To verify if they have any scientific veracity,

Or are merely frivolous wordplay.

 

 

CLXXXV

Humanity will eventually be forced to realign with natural law or perish.

Perhaps that “adjustment” will help bring about its true potential.

It is the scientific experiment of the manifest paradigm.

 

 

CLICII

 

Science is only as complete as the questions it asks, and the technology it brings to bear.

 

 

CLICIX

How many scientists truly have no agenda? Is that even possible?

 

CCII

Natural selection creates

Every sort of mutation

Upon this mysterious garden.

Why, how, the scientists try to discern,

But knowledge ever disguises its own limitations,

And true ignorance is layered with endless coats of vanity.

 

 

CCIV

To call it the unborn

Implies the reader’s understanding

Of physics, chemistry, and the sciences in general,

Wherein the building blocks upon which all creation is founded,

Is the vapor of eternity playing out ceaseless formation.

Science is ultimately a mystical inquiry into reality.

 

 


 

CCVI

Anyone who seriously believes human beings

Will ever colonize another world has lost sight of the fact

That Buck Rogers, Lost in Space, Star Trek, Star Wars, Aliens, Dune,

And the many others, are only popular science fiction fantasies.

The distances across space are too vast, and the likelihood

Of finding a hospitable planet, getting to that planet,

Surviving once there, and ever being seen again,

Make a lottery win look like a piece of cake.

 

 

CCVII

Even the purest science is a mirage.

 

 

CCIX

How often science proves the obvious.

 

 

CCXII

How strange that across the world, we are all conditioned

To play out one identity, one personality or another.

An entire species deluded by a collusion

Of its own collective invention.

Madness on a scale probably unduplicated,

Despite all our science fiction, anywhere in the universe.

 

 

CCXVI

Every thought, every insight you have,

Is duplication of what science labels the big bang.

You are the creative-destruction of each and every moment.

 

 

CCXVII

How vicious we are with animals

In the arrogance of scientific research.

Would you do the same to your children?

 

 

CCXIX

Science has proven,

The more concepts we create,

The more confined by words we become.

 

CCXXIII

What atrocities we rationalize in the name of science.

 

* * * *

Having little regard for life,

Science has become an end unto itself.

Knowledge and understanding, no matter the price.

“In the name of science,” its tyrannical cry.

Truth is beyond its partial grasp.

 

 

CCXXVI

Science can only be as accurate

As the instruments used to measure,

And the mind brought to bear.

 

* * * *

Scientists pretend they are so objective, but how can they be?

Observer and observed are linked in eternal relativity,

And intellectual assumptions to the contrary

Only blind them to their collusion.

 

 

CCXXVIII

True science is always open

To new questions, to new answers.

True science seeks truth, not conclusions.

 

* * * *

Scientists have delved into the core of the atom,

And found nothing.

Your body is made up of atoms.

Put it together and there is only one conclusion.

 

 

CCXXXIII

 

Everything falls into statistical relativity, the unifying principle that science so vainly seeks.

 

 

CCXXXIV

So many scientists, philosophers, assorted scholars,

Probing a mystery that really has no need to be known.

 

* * * *

Only a true student of science will discern the immensity of relativity’s reality. 


 

CCXXXV

Science deals only with what can be measured in space and time.

It cannot fully acknowledge intuition because its foundation

Disintegrates when the unknown is acknowledged.

 

 

CCXXXVII

The danger of scientific inquiry and technological advances

Is that no ethical constraints are inherent in the process,

And already the train is going too fast to stay on track.

 

 

CCXLIV

Miracles are the invention and puffery of superstition.

Scientific observation often disproves or expands

The context of the many fabled stories of old.

 

 

CCXLV

How far will science meander

Before consciousness tumbles

Upon the blade of its own creation.

 

* * * *

Scientific procedures have enabled

A more complete examination of the mystery.

It is far less likely that natural physical laws were suspended,

Than cultural groupings throughout the world in ancient times were unable,

To discern clearly the seemingly haphazard events about them.

Instead, most conceptualize paranormal explanations,

To deal with the many inexplicable hardships,

With which they were forced to daily contend.

A completely logical means of coping with events.

But more often than not, an incomplete set of assumptions,

That disallow, often with great passion, more supportable conclusions.

 

 

CCXLIX

All science can ever really do

Is observe that which is observable,

And measure that which is measurable.

The rest of the story ever remains unknown.

 

 

CCLI

It is unending irony and paradox how rationality can be so easily suspended

In the glaringly unambiguous illumination of scientifically corroborated actualities.

The twists and turns of which delusion is capable of manifesting are well beyond number.



CCLII

True science is not a political subject.

 

 

CCLIII

You, scientist.

 

 

 CCLV

The inherent flaw of science, despite its perpetual pursuit of objectivity,

Is that it is, as are all things mind-made in this manifest theater,

Founded on the subjective limits of sensory perception.

 

 

CCLVIII

True science is an unblinking, unwavering, unallied eye.

 

* * * *

What true scientist is not also a philosopher?

 

 

CCLIX

The exactness of science has proven that we are all of the same essence,

Yet the arrogant resistance of the many who cannot, will not discern it,

Takes us, and the countless other life forms of this garden world,

Full-throttle, unbuckled, on a calamitous ride toward who knows what,

Like lemmings madly, blindly rushing toward the cliffs and the rocks below.

 

* * * *

Curious how so many in the medical profession claim to follow the scientific model,

But seamlessly manage all the while to avoid practicing the programmed assertion.

 

 

CCLX

Take all those science classes current education offers

– Biology, chemistry, physics, and all their coherently rational brethren –

View them collectively, and see how clearly they point to the same quantum indivisibility.

 

* * * *

Far easier to be caught up in wave after wave

Of suffocating self pity, oppressive guilt or violent rage

Than it is to examine the source of all passion

As a scientist would a grain of sand.

 

* * * *

Science is only as potent as eye and technology allow.

 

 

CCLXI

Like any given religion or superstition, science is a belief system,

Though it is a tad more precise in its observations and conclusions.

 

* * * *

Superstitious trepidation blames the inexplicable

On devils, ghosts, and other supernatural explanations,

But objective scientific observation and impersonal reasoning

Will inevitably discern more plausible, more rational interpretations.

 

 

CCLXIII

The atoms scientists keep splitting

Into smaller and smaller bits of nothingness,

Is it not clearly obvious that they, too, are really you?

Has not science proven many times beyond a reasonable doubt,

That which, in its early history, it so rationally doubted?

There is, indeed, a god, and it includes you.

 

 

CCLXVIII

The blueprint of the seed,

Coupled with the gusty winds of time,

Have blown you like a leaf to this moment in dreamtime.

And on and on you drift, this way and that.

Fate is not rocket science.

 

* * * *

The more attached you are, the more you will suffer; it is not rocket science.

 

 

CCLXIX

Science is only as clear as the mind wielding the technology.

 

 

CCLXX

What has science become but the cataloging of unending minutia.

 

 

CCLXXI

Science, with all its vigilantly astute observations and measurements,

Must eventually reach an impenetrable wall of profound inexplicability.

 

 

CCLXXIII

The astute observation and measurement of true science

Is surely more accurate than any superstition or tradition.

 

 

CCLXXV

True science has no agenda but truth.

 

 

CCLXXVI

Scientists, psychologists, anthropologists,

Philosophers, mystics, and the like,

Are the paparazzi of the mind.

 

 

CCLXXXI

Ignorance does not easily tolerate the spotlight of scientific inquiry.

 

* * * *

These many thoughts might seem pure lunacy if way more than a handful,

Had not, in many times, many spaces, written of the same thing.

It is, indeed, a scientific inquiry of the highest order.

 

 

CCLXXXIII

Objectivity is a myth to which science subscribes, but can never grasp.

 

 

CCLXXXVIII

The true scientist does not tolerate lies, nor blink at truth.

 

 

CCXC

True science is about truth, not the influence of funding.

 

 

CCXCI

Science can measure everything it pleases,

But it can only flail and miscarry, huff and puff,

When it comes to the Great Nada, source of all things.

 

* * * * 

This has all really been

Nothing more than a very large,

Nothing-set-in-stone experiment, of sorts.

You, Self, the first and last scientist.

 

* * * *

CCXCIV

 

The quest for truth is as scientific an inquiry as you could ever hope to imagine.

 

* * * *

CCXCVI

 

It is not rocket science to be reasonably compassionate to all things great and small.
