Temptations of a Non-Believer

Excerpt from Primo Levi's 'The Drowned and The Saved', a collection of essays depicting his time at the Concentration (extermination) camps :- 'I too entered the Lager as a nonbeliever, and as a nonbeliever I was liberated and have lived to this day. Actually, the experience of the Lager with its frightful iniquity confirmed me in my non-belief. It has prevented me, and still prevents me, from conceiving of any form of providence or transcendant justice… I must nevertheless admit that I…See More

Michel commented on Gaurav Somwanshi's blog post On Science and Spirituality
"No we agree on the basics. But I just don't see any need for "spirituality", I think the idea is too misleading. That's not how the mind works. We need another word to describe what is after all nothing but an emotional state."

On Science and Spirituality

"....life is all about balance. To know the complete truth we must know both sides of the coin. In today's world, where Science has a claim on every objective truth, it has become more important to look at Spirituality too, because it's the other way of seeing things, and another way of reaching more profound truths, because Science has its limits. Science and Spirituality travel on separate paths but eventually meet at one place. It's all about balance.So, let's all pay attention to our great…See More
