“Science, when properly handled, can be the expression of the fulfillment of the spirit”

In this intellectually stimulating and easily understandable talk, Rich Blum addresses Meher Baba’s explanations about science and technology. Noting the teachings from every Avataric Advent vary according to the time and culture (while the underlying truth is the same), Rich points out that during Baba’s advent science and technology have advanced to “extreme degrees.” From Darwin to Freud to Einstein, Rich examines each theoretician’s work through the lens of Meher Baba’s teaching, seamlessly tying together science and spirituality. He then goes on to contemplate how Baba may have reacted to more recent scientific advances such as AI.
