Title: Scientific Method in Mystical Spirituality (Poster) by Isaac Portilla
“After years of serious dedication to experiential spirituality and research, I arrived at a striking and paradoxical conclusion: spirituality—the so-called ‘science of Enlightenment’—never reached the Enlightenment Age.”
In the context of the paragraph above (contained in my book,The Possibilities of Spiritual Experience: An Autobiographical and Philosophical Exploration), I will discuss the application of classical scientific methods (abduction, induction, deduction, coherence) complementary to experiential methods to map mystical experience and solve unanswered questions in comparative spirituality.
