Science Is A Method, Not A Philosophy

In these excerpts from six unique Discourses, Avatar Adi Da reveals how scientific materialism has replaced the sacred orientation in life and indoctrinated humankind into limited belief systems. He discusses common views about evolution, astronomy versus astrology, ancient religions, the expanding universe, the “language” of mathematics and shape, and more. In addition, Avatar Adi Da masterfully describes how knowledge altogether is an effort to achieve power over nature, based on the fundamental illusion that there is such a thing as an independent (or truly objective) “point of view”. In this process, Avatar Adi Da calls His listeners to be free of all false authorities, and to consider the Way that perfectly transcends “point of view” itself.
