Spirit of Inner Sciences?

The term 'science' means a logical inquiry about the events seen in the world. It is based on rational thinking and, therefore, it is acceptable to any reasonable human being. This has led to a number of scientific subjects that have near-universal acceptability.

Dr Harish talks about his inner sciences concept....

When I decided to float the body in the name of "Center for Inner Sciences" (CIS in short) last year, I had certain issues in mind and had an urge to share some ideas with a number of people. My experience of delivering lectures and talks, conducting intensive workshops worldwide, and writing books and articles in the last ten years had led me to conclude that the intellectual cross-section of the human society everywhere is interested in knowing the inner sciences. I had noticed how people got excited when they saw that the issues hitherto in the domain of religions could be discussed scientifically. The people could see the benefits of a scientific understanding of the issues.
Therefore, in this first article of SpiritMag, I thought of writing about what, in my opinion, comprises of the inner sciences. The human curiosity instinctively wants to approach the invisible within the visible things. We want to approach the unknown from the known truths. We desire to enter into the microscopic inner domains of anything that is gross and macroscopic. This inward journey must be based on a logical scientific basis. This is what we will call "the inner sciences."
Modern sciences have significantly contributed to our understanding of the matter in its all realm. Now we know the atomic structure comprising of the minutest sub-atomic particles. We also make sensible and plausible conjectures about what may be happening in the distant heavenly bodies. However, the predominant thinking among scientists and people by and large is that science pertains to the matter alone.
This is where CIS wants to make a distinct point. In addition to the matter, there does exist something non-material that is inherently conscious. We will call such an entity as spirit. It may be a tiny infinitesimal spirit within us giving rise to our consciousness. Also, there may be an infinitely large cosmic spirit responsible for the infinite creation that is visible to us.
CIS will contribute to a better scientific understanding about both the spirits. The spirit is the innermost truth within us and in the world around us that gives rise to the infinite variety in the manifest world.
