Today, millions of people have been watching the total eclipse of the Sun by the moon. Most realize that the light from the sun is what sustains us and our tiny planet. This is a chance to consider what would happen without that light from the sun. And, if you believe like we do, that the universe, the galaxies and all the suns are a reflection and embodiment of God’s Light, this is a time to pause.
What would we do without that Light? It would be dark, very dark. But whether in darkness or sunlight, we can Be The Light.
On this solar eclipse day, we'd like to share a preview of a new online course, "GodLight: Illuminate your Mind, Illuminate your Life", which we're working on with Dr. Bart Barthelemy, with whom we're exploring the possibilities offered by the intersections of light, science and spirituality.
Science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. Spirituality is the belief that there is something greater than ourselves, something more to being human than sensory experience and that the greater whole of which we are a part is cosmic or divine in nature.
Each episode will look for the intersections and overlap between science and spirituality in a particular area. There is no attempt to conform science to spirituality or vice versa. The focus is to simply examine the intersections to see if they suggest possibilities for a better understanding of each area.
If so, these possibilities could lead to opportunities for any of us to be more understanding, more respectful, more collaborative, and more loving. As you listen to each episode, ponder the marvels and mysteries of both science and spirituality, and let your mind and your imagination be open to possibilities...
