 %MATTERS OF THE HEART SPIRIT SOUL MIND BODY OBJECT 940904

     Both scientists and religious leaders often fall into
the trap of viewing interactions  between physical objects
as of the essence,  the heart of the matter,   the primary
focus of proper attention,  the elements of what is really
real.

     Scientists  view  interactive objects  as  devoid  of
personality,     heart,     spirit  and soul;   for   such
reflexive aspects  are irrelevant even if they are real in
some sense.

     Religious  leaders  often  view  interactive  objects
(people)   and  judge  them, condemn them,  alienate them,
excommunicate  them,  etc.  in  terms  of  their objective
behaviors---due  to their  forbidden interactions; without
much consideration  being given (by the religious leaders)
to  what   has  been taking place  in  their  own  hearts,
spirits  and  souls---for who can know?     The  religious
leaders' focus is upon objects and their  interactions  in
objectively   verifiable   ways.    Such   a   focus    is
disintegrative of persons and communities.
