history
What is the difference between mysticism and science? Myth are stories which we cannot explain; stories about things or beings we have never seen, or touched, and which we do not have any proof of, besides the divine inspiration people said to had when they wrote those stories. Science can be observed, touched, in other words, proven. It can be proven by experiments, equations, observations, etc. You don’t need to believe in some person’s story to believe in science, if you don’t believe it, it can be proven to you. It is very difficult for me to believe that myth is better at arriving the truth because then I would be saying that everything was created by the Gods, and that everything that happens is because the Gods, or God, wants to. Early mythological stories are not very convincing; “the history or development of mysticism, it is as difficult to record as a history of the experiences of the human soul. The most that can be done is to follow its literature, mindful that God, the Author of mystical states, acts upon souls when and as He wills” (AUG. POULAIN, The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XIV). I’m not saying I don’t believe in myth at all, but scientific inquiry does explain the truth better. Before e
We already have all this information in our heads. We already have the truth in our heads, and it is all proved already. It is like when you don’t know the way to go somewhere, but somehow you get there, somehow you find the right way. Sometimes you need to get to a street, you don’t know exactly where it is, then you make a turn, and the street is right there. It is because we already have all this information, we already know where that street it. The door in our heads that tell us that is closes, we just need to find the right key to open it. Someday, we will find the right keys to open those doors, and the truths that we still don’t have will come, and science will be able to prove them. They won’t be myths anymore. For them, those Europeans soldiers were Gods, or divine beings, because they were showing them things they never dreamed about and could not find any explanation for it. This was not a long time ago. This might explain why the Greeks called some people Gods. Like I said, someday, with better knowledge and more advanced, we will be able to explain that, and those “Gods” will have a scientific explanation. AUG. POULAIN.
