Galileo Commission Summit IX – Consciousness and Spirituality: How do they relate?

‘Spirituality’ and ‘consciousness’ are concepts that, at first sight, seem to have little or nothing to do with each other. The dictionary definition of consciousness is ‘the state of being aware of and responsive to one’s surroundings’; and is traditionally – within western culture – seen to be a bi-product of the brain, and hence material in origins and nature. Academically, it is a thriving area of research in neuroscience and psychology, but generates little attention or interest elsewhere.
