Swami Sarvapriyananda | Beyond the Known and the Unknown - The Wisdom of the Kena Upanishad

The Cult of Scientism asserts that anything that cannot, or has not been proven by science, simply does not exist. A concept like spirit, innate intelligence, life force, prana escapes their comprehension entirely.

The opposition does not use valid definitions of words like "vitalism," "subluxation," and "evidence." It is straw man ploy, or logical fallacy. Change the definition so you can make 'valid' criticism without actually addressing the real thing they oppose. Because they have no valid argument against it! It is a used car salesman closing technique. This talk helps explain what we think vitalism is, from an ancient wisdom perspective. Nothing primitive about this line of thought!
