Mysticism vs Science

"Physicists do not need mysticism, and Mystics do not need Physics, but humanity needs both." – Fritjof Capra

I think it is important at this point to discuss in an initial manner the role that both science and mysticism play in the quest for semantic application.

As I see it we must make use of both science and mysticism in the pursuit of understanding the underlying reality of meaning.

Science attempts to give meaning and create rules that will allow us to determine and understand the 'absolute' reality.

Mysticism attempts to provide meaning and understanding of the 'absolute' reality but with a more human context. It deals with the deeper meaning to life in the human condition - 'Why are we here' and 'What does it all mean'.

The future development of the concept of quantum semantics is deeply rooted in both lexicons and will require input from both the field of physical science and meta-physical science.

It should be noted that as science pushes the boundaries of determining reality it gets closer and closer to providing the same answers as those pursued by mysticism.

On a historical note it should be pointed out that throughout human history science and mysticism/religion have been deeply intertwined. Many of the greatest scientific thinkers have also delved deeply into the pursuit of religious and mystical thought. It has only been in the last several hundred years that the two have diverged, however it is in the field of quantum mechanics that we see a return to the blending of the two.

As this discussion progresses we will be examining both the science and the mystical element of reality as by merging the two we come closer to gaining an understanding of the 'true' reality - one that is not encumbered by the flawed human interpretation of reality, however one that encompasses the human interpretation as well...
