This methodology can be used to study spirituality. Spirituality is not based on blind belief; it can be verified through the scientific method. Spirituality is the personal testing of the hypothesis that there is a higher power within us, and that power can be experienced.
A scientist of spirituality will provide you the methodology that has worked for him and ask you to test it for yourself. It is only through testing the hypothesis within the laboratory of our own human form that we can see the proof for our self.
The methodology is the process of inversion – meditation. Right now, most of our attention is going outward, drawn by our five senses, into the world of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. If we withdraw our senses to a point within us, known as the seat of our soul, located between and behind the two eyebrows, our attention will focus there.
When all our attention is concentrated at this still point, we will be able to see the inner light and hear the inner sound. Through further concentration on the inner light and sound, the conscious part of ourselves will experience light and sound that is far more ethereal than what we see and hear in this physical world.
Just as we explore outer sciences to understand the world around us, we can also spend time daily in the inner science so that we can solve the greatest mysteries of our life: who we are and why we are here.
