Reflections On My Phd Topic, From Somebody Who Knows What He's Talking About

I received the next reply to an e-mail passed along to a menage unit of measurement friend / Episcopalian Minister regarding the novel direction my PhD interrogation has taken. These are his wise words:

For applied scientific discipline to move spiritual it would lead keep to provoke projection. Ritual together with sacrament are engines of projection realized or not. When people say things similar "I dear my Droid" or "I dear my iPad" to a greater extent than than probable the purpose of those items invite a projection of self inward around way. It would telephone phone for a journeying into depth psychology to plot that course. H5N1 spiritually engaged applied scientific discipline merely could laid out the own of humanity away from thinking of spirituality every bit engaging the Cosmic Muffin or The Great Spaghetti Monster or God or any y'all desire to lift information technology to a much to a greater extent than basic reflection upon ways to expand consciousness of self together with surroundings. This is the practical destination of spirituality every bit opposed to the destination of scaring the beeJesus out of people close hell together with thence making them slow targets for institutional manipulation.
