SCIENCE
What is the role of creativity in the scientific method?
Creativity is the engine of science.
Better yet, what is the role of creativity in science. It is central to paradigm changes and larger discoveries.
I believe creativity is the very heart of science. Since our access to "reality" is mediated by the many negotiations we perform with the scientific community, we keep articulating propositons, methods, objects in order to offer interesting contributions to science. Our creativity is the blood that makes us criticize everything which is already stabilized (including our methods) and find out new and better ways to research and talk about the world.
It is everything — because it demands we keep an open mind. For example, instead of being carried away by religious fervor after activating Kundalini, I kept a very open mind, decided to verify everything I saw, felt, or heard.
Kundalini takes no position on God; it merely connects you to the energy continuum. Trouble is people (very intelligent people) will see you as an advocate of religion, despite the fact that Kundalini is at once agnostic and ecumenical. To activate it you do not have to follow rituals or say prayers. No invocations, no learning of doctrine, no chanting the names of Saints.
Unfortunately, one of the constraining factors around Kundalini is that, once an experience like this (a Kundalini activation) happens, one looks around for verification and support, and the only place one finds it is in Hindu, Taoist, and/or Buddhist texts. So the subject throws in his/her lot with Eastern religions...for a while, at least. But if he/she starts to examine the issue as I have over the past 40 years since my Kundalini activation, he/she sees that what happened to him/her could happen to anyone, should they follow the method correctly. And he/she begins to see the scientific ramifications of his/her experience, begins to realize Kundalini is neurobiology.   | | |
There just wouldn't be any new ideas without creativity which would be the death of science.
Important!
A special power for innovation or new entrances in the next stage. |
