Hello,
My name is Greg, and I am new here to the FMC movement. It is an honor to be able to share questions and receive feedback from similar souls on a path of spiritual investigation and growth.
It has come to mind recently, of an interest to understand spiritual science from an observable perspective. That is, to see by example, who a spiritual scientist is when compared to simply reading about the subject matter. For example, it is one thing to talk about a picture of a flame or fire, then it is to see such a phenomenon in real time.
My question for the discussion is this: who would you consider a contemporary spiritual scientist and what qualities and practices would they exhibit in order to be considered in harmony with spiritual science?
One person I have recently begun reading, is Thomas Mayer - "Answering the Call of the Elementals: Practices for Connecting with Nature Spirits".
One could consider him a spiritual scientist under the premise of his work in developing relationships or dialogue with elementals through spiritual exercises that expand upon his knowledge of them, and whereby brings their voice into the conversation by further adding to their nature and also, what they have to share. In this regard, his work helps to expand upon a spiritual worldview and bring one into repeatability of dialogue.
But of course, spiritual science is diverse, which is why I thought having an outline of qualifications to consider when it comes to practicing spiritual science could be helpful in separating the sheep from the goats - or in this case, understanding what the "field" of spiritual science looks like today for the purpose of helping one grow in the right direction and not get lost in belief or intellectualism.
Thank you, Greg
