Thanks! To clarify, I posted it in the EA forum due to EA’s interest in science policy and infrastructure. I felt it might serve to suggest it might be worth prioritizing higher or looking into further.
I don’t believe ancient spirituality (depending on how it’s defined) is scientific due to wording in the area, but I do believe most concepts in the area seem to be true or have truth to them. There seems to be misinterpretation of what various terms and motifs reference, though.
A good example is a Reddit post titled: TIL Not long after Julius Caesar was assassinated, a comet shone for seven successive days. This signified Julius Caesar’s ascension to Godhood, and propaganda for Caesar’s nephew. The comet was described as: “To make that soul a star that burns forever, Above the Forum and the gates of Rome.” It seems an awful lot like images that appear when “Ida, Pingala, Sushumna” is image searched with seven referencing something with chakras, the comet referencing spirit, the soul referencing the psyche, gates referencing nadis, Godhood referencing Buddhahood or something with enlightenment, and death referencing ego death.
As for alternative medicine, to my surprise, when I looked into it, much or most of it is scientific. It’s just poorly branded, and there appears to be conflict of interest. Some good examples are functional medicine, holistic medicine, and naturopathic medicine. The fields use engineering principles such as whole systems thinking and root cause analysis and tend to use natural products more but are not opposed to using synthetic products if they work best.
Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Dr. Frank Lipman, the Institute for Functional Medicine, and Dr. Will Cole seem like good sources on the subject. It’s worth noting Wikipedia’s medical pages seem to have strong bias.
