Statement 19 (Vol 4 No 40)

There are enriching conversations needed between an enlightened religion, a liberating spirituality and science (in its many  expressions), philosophy, art and economics, and also an expansive and inspirational interaction with music, dance, poetry and literature.


Human knowledge is increasing at such an alarming rate;

This exciting situation is so grand to contemplate;

Our genome has been mapped,

And solar power can be trapped;

Right across the world we now can instantly communicate.

 

Our brain function and behaviour are probed by neurology;

Justice can be served by using D.N.A. technology;

Humans walked upon the moon,

And ‘fail-safe’ transport may come soon;

All new untapped information can change life quite radically.

 

Conversations with new science can enrich theology;

Dialogue will be rewarding with art and philosophy;

Inspirations’energy

From music, dance and poetry

Will enhance the good religion we all seek so fervently.
