The word science comes from a Latin root meaning “to know.” In mindfulness practice we are often interested in how we learn to know things. Culture? Tradition? Habit? Things said or written? Things repeated and never questioned?
How do we know what we know, and were we aware when we knew them?
Once upon a time science and spirituality were just considered various ways of knowing things, neither “better” than the other… I still believe this. I believe we are all knowers of exactly what we know.
The question is: are we “aware-knowers?”
