Science cannot know about these things.

Slag,

That was a very fine essay you wrote there.

I would offer a couple of counterpoints, though.

Science is a way of knowing. It has not troubled to reach very much into any area of non-materiality, because mostly of inertia and habit. But a well trained scientific mind, once it comes to terms with the differences in the universes, will have no trouble sorting out the whats and the whos in the world of thought qua thought and spirit.

Second, the unrest and emptiness you describe does not necessarily lead to "God-shopping", by any means at all. Many, many people resort to contemplation, meditation, and find their own spiritual sides, and fulfillment and peace, by what you might call "Self-shopping" -- in other words, clearing the clutter of false version of who they are until they arrive at a truer center from which to view and be in the worlds.

The argument of the universal center which is God, to many, could equally well be applied to the higher reaches of that Self. Thou art God, if you can grok it.
