Are physics and mysticism twins or rivals?
Neither can prove or disprove the Spirit
Can subject and object become one in knowing?
The mystic sees beyond words and images
The scientist sees because of mathematical symbols of reality
Both are different ways of understanding reality
Both speak in patterns like poets of the universe
One is material and the other is focused on the spiritual
Both distinct but connected together in time and space
One on the temporal and the other on the eternal
But together they already are and not yet are becoming
Physics deal with the world of shadow and symbols
Mysticism deals with the world of the eternal and beyond physics
One deals with shadows and the other light
Can one see beyond the shadows into the light
Can the other see beyond the light into the shadows
Can it be that shadow and light are cosmically linked
The outstanding achievement of physics and science
is not the theory of relativity welding together space and time
Nor is it quantum mechanics negating the laws of causation
Nor is it the dissection of the atom or the splitting of the DNA
What it is discovered is there is more to the universe than shadows and matter
There is more to the universe than its reductions, limitations, and a thin worldview
There is a mystical wideness to the universe that is more than the sum of its parts
There are images beyond our human symbols and a love so personal that our
minds are captivated and our hearts captured by a love beyond oneself
The mystic miscalculates the two are the same
The scientist misunderstands that the two shall never meet
Neither will meet on their own but all are becoming one in Christ
