Hi Steve, What I am trying to say, and probably not very effectively, is that science has no more claim on Truth than anything else. To feel that it does, seems to me to be acceptance that somehow science has Divine powers. Such belief needs to be questioned at a metaphysical level. I believe this was an "aha" moment for Phaedrus. Science defines truth, but this is simply an agreed upon definition, it creates a method for common understanding. But it is not the only method.

We are subordinate to evidence as created by the old Masters. These Masters made the rules and we must obey. Steve: If you want to assert that something is not only scientifically true but also a spiritual truth, then it seems to me that the standards for evidence must indeed be higher since the criteria for such a claim to truth would need to include all the usual criteria for scientific truth plus additional criteria to address the rules of the Old Masters you mention.
