Fusion of Science & Spiritualism
As you all know, human civilization is at a very crucial stage. From here we can look forward to a golden future or a total disaster. It all depends upon our wisdom, our goals, our focus, ideas we work upon and how we collaborate to save human being from becoming an endangered species on Earth! Looking at current trends, we are approaching towards environmental and economical disaster in very near future. Hence, there is an emergent need to fuse spiritualism with science and technology. Science and technology without knowledge of spiritualism is like giving nuclear bombs to children to play! It can only lead to extinction.
The science aims for physical comfort, well being and satisfaction of our five senses. Spiritualism aims for achieving blissful state of mind and realizing the truth to know our real Self. Science with technology has made tremendous progress in achieving its aim of physical comfor but with adverse side effects of stressful mind looking desperately for permanent peace and happiness. Those who went deep solely into spiritual development have achieved a lot in terms of spiritual knowledge and inner peace but without any significant progress on physical level.
One who pursues materialism alone
goes into great darkness,
One who pursues spirituality alone
goes into even greater darkness.
Yet one who pursues materialism
and spirituality side by side
(Like the two wings of a bird)
is happy in this world and the next.

I believe the best path is always the middle path. The universe is made up of two polarities. And balance is the fundamental and eternal universal law. Balance between the two opposite yet complementary polarities is the middle path that Enlightened beings have shown us. Only giving importance to science or spiritualism will not be beneficial to human civilization on longer run. The middle path of fusion of spiritualism with science will help humanity achieve holistic growth with improvement in their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.
As per my viewpoint following three are the most important tasks to get success in fusion of spiritualism with science.
1. Spiritual Science Education
There is emergent need of adding spiritual truths in current education system and creating higher level research oriented studies in spiritual science. For example, telling our students that the physical object is made up of 'atoms' is half-truth. They need to know about quanta right from school level, they need to know about relationship of 'energy & consciousness' so as to make sure they do not spend rest of their life with wrong beliefs about 'observable reality'. Biology subject without any mention of aura, chakra system etc. is dangerous as one does not get the whole picture of real anatomy of body. Without even a definition of 'consciousness', most graduates are not equipped with the basic spiritual knowledge for overall progress in life.
'Who am I? What is Life? What is death? Is there life after death? Who created this universe? Why? What is multidimensional universe? What is ascension? Am I a puppet in hands of destiny or do I have the freedom to create my future? - These and many more questions should be part of our education system with emphasis on 'finding one's own truth'. With basic spiritual knowledge as a catalyst, we can see rapid and sustainable progress in all walks of life which will be beneficial to all instead of current system of 'exploitation of others for benefit of one'.
Specialized courses focused on spiritual science and research will help us reach next stage in our evolution. Think about bright students working on spiritual science and research projects and bringing out new inventions, methods and truths for speedy progress on this path. Study on consciousness will help us understand basic requirements for progress on spiritual path. With specific study on astral travel and out of body experiences, proven methods can be developed to teach students easy and efficient astral travels and its uses. Astral travelers, remote viewers and psychics can unlock secrets of deep space objects, history of Earth, history of human civilization and so on, which coupled with scientific studies can be validated and human knowledge base increased manifold.
2. Practical useful tools for common people
We must prove existence of the 'other world' to people in general. The experiences in spiritual realm are of 'subjective' nature and hence majority of people do not believe in what others 'felt' or 'saw''. This has made them to ignore the spiritual aspect from life and concentrate fully on material progress.
This can be reversed once we prove the spiritual plane of existence with science and technology. For example, an Aura reading device which can clearly demonstrate the existence of bio-electric field around body; can predict diseases; can demonstrate harmful effects of anger, violence & depression on human physiology; can demonstrate level of spiritual progress of people; can show 'real' nature of people will bring a revolution in people's lives. It will take them to the path of spiritualism as that will be the most logical choice then. We have Kirlian cameras, but we need practical tools for common people which are much advanced and much cheaper so that people can use it just like mobile phones.
If common people get interested into the 'other side of world', the need for spiritual inventions, products, services will increase and will 'lure' more companies and individuals to get involved directly or indirectly in fusion of science and spiritualism more rapidly. Markets are driven by demand and so practical 'useful' tools targeted at 'improving or maintaining health' of common people can become a catalyst for fusion of science and spiritualism. Common people may not be interested in spiritualism directly, but an indirect invitation can work more effectively. Once they look at the analysis of their physical and emotional health linked to their thoughts, interest in spiritualism will automatically come up.
There is need of fusion of western logical material oriented minds with eastern philosophical spiritual oriented minds to create practical solutions/methods/processes useful for overall (spiritual as well as material) progress of entire human kingdom.
3. Scientists and Spiritual Masters on common platform
With progress in quantum physics, even the mainstream science is moving away from the Newtonian viewpoint to the world of 'energy and consciousness'. This is the right time for scientists and spiritual masters to join hands for fusion by helping each other. For example, a spiritual master with his practical experience of aura can help scientists identify what it is made up of and using latest technologies, what will be the best method of viewing and analyzing it. Similarly scientists can take help of spiritual masters to get answers or solutions for problems that they are facing in making new inventions in this realm.
An experienced master with complete knowledge of human chakra system, kundalini, aura etc. can help scientists in development of sophisticated software for analysis and diagnosis of human health by analyzing their aura and help in prediction and thereby prevention of diseases which have not yet manifested in physical body. This research has become a reality now. Similar experiments in other so called 'mysterious' realms of spiritualism can also give practical results if pursued well. As done for physical status, same technology can be used to check spiritual status of individuals. Blocks can be found and analyzed and practical effective suggestions can be given to aspirants to unblock the energies and gain momentum in their spiritual development instead of spending years trying to figure out why he/she is unable to progress on spiritual front.Currently many are making efforts by coming out with biofeedback devices, binaural sounds, guided meditations, geometric designs, pyramids etc. to aid in spiritual/mental/physical well being of humans. With experts from both fields coming together, these devices can rapidly evolve similar to the fast evolutions related to communication technology like internet and mobiles.
Expected changes on Earth in near future
With historical predictions and current visible patterns, it is no doubt that we have entered into an era of great changes ahead. Humanity is poised to take a giant step in evolution of consciousness to next level. Some see recent events as signs of ascension of Earth, some say we are entering into golden future with long lasting peace and love on Earth. One wonders with weapons of mass destruction capable of wiping out Earth several times, what force is resisting annihilation of this beautiful planet. As predicted, some believe shifting of axis of Earth has started. With effects of global warming some believe Earth will cleanse its energies to align itself into the new dream. Conventional energy sources are drying up, economies have become terribly speculative, violence and hatred is present on almost every corner of Earth today. Gap between rich and poor is increasing. All forms of governance is proving ineffective in assisting real sustainable development of its citizens, be it democracy or communism or dictatorship. Medical science is fighting unsuccessfully with more and more unheard of diseases.
This is the time when combined powers of spiritual and scientific knowledge are needed to humanity to come out successfully from the mammoth tasks ahead. Can intelligent logical minded people take us out of clear and present danger? Can spiritual minded people give practical solutions to today's problems? Or can both come on a common platform, share their ideas and come out with practical solutions for holistic progress of entire mankind?
It is the time we remind our selves, that we have the power to create our reality. Let us do the best we can to create heaven on Earth for our children and future generations to come.

I endorse your ideas. It is indeed the need of the time . Man has to rediscover the spirtuality which is the most scientific existing discipline. The so called evolution of mankind left the scientific aspect and went ahead with the materialistic aspect.
The effort now is to couple both and give new dimensions to science , which are sustainable and without side effects.
