Science is already very spiritual in principle. GR teaches how pure energy without shape or form on its own appears as material objects. QM teaches that all things evolve as one mysterious wave function and what we see is small local parts of it. Finally, each thing or force, no matter how big or small, is governed by the same law that the science is trying to learn. In spiritual lingo, it's the "all is in one and one is in all" concept. The above even shows the threefold nature: action (GM), perception (QM) and will (the law).
What's non spiritual, and frankly non scientific, is the religion of materialism: that all things are made of small mechanistic particles, and consciousness somehow arises from interactions of those particles. The idea of a mechanistic universe, in other words.
- vjerancrnjak 3y agoIt is quite amazing how far we’ve got. Bell’s theorem, the free will theorem, local or non local universe, real or non real, coobservers, superdeterminism. We’ve gone from modeling results of our observations to trying to figure out what exactly observation is. Neuroscience with its split brain experiment, showing how the brain deludes itself, how there is no self, no central spot. How the nonspeaking part that controls one side of the body never rebels hearing the delusions of the speaking part. So many mysteries that were fully uncovered and many more waiting to be uncovered. What a ride being conscious is.
- pdonis 3y agoYou do realize that the "spiritual in principle" science you describe is "materialism", right? The "small mechanistic particles" are the quantum wave function; they're the same thing. And according to the sciences you refer to, consciousness does arise from the same things you describe as part of GR and QM.

It may also transform into something else, like a photon, or vanish entirely by giving a bit of kinetic energy to a bigger object. The lowest common denominator isn't those localised particles, but the energy they are made of. There is really no reason why consciousness needs to be based on this particular level of abstraction that we call particles.
