> > What the Western mind has done is to separate things. We separate form from function, function from impact, impact from purpose, purpose from meaning. To each of these we give a different school of thought. We separate our knowledge and experience of a thing to the point were it becomes lost in the minutia. -And yet when I use my western mind I can see an accuracy and value in monistic concepts.-If someone cannot see a truth in science, it does not mean it is not there. Ditto for a spiritual or perhaps intuitive insight.-It&apos;s when these things point in different directions, then we have a problem. I don&apos;t know if evolution is true, but for me it is by far the best description of the phenomena we observe. Ditto for quantum mechanics, even if I am skeptical of the QM description. But I understand what you are saying we compartmentalize science to try and understand; but science does eventually put things back together again.-Our western religions are very dualistic, separating god from the universe, even in David&apos;s panentheism god is separate. Mind and body are separate, good and evil are separate.
