Every human being possesses a hidden potential to develop into a Supernatural Being. That is, therefore, the goal of Spirituality in the true sense of the word. Knowledge regarding this developmental process into a Human (thus with a capital H) forms the core of Science in the true sense of the word. That is why Sound Science and Solid Spirituality are like two sides of the same coin, which has been named here Wholly Science. The adjective Wholly refers to the Whole and thereby emphasizes the Spiritual side of ‘being’. The noun Science emphasizes the Scientific side of ‘knowing’. Wholly Science shows how ‘knowing’ and ‘being’ come together in ‘understanding’.
Wholly Science undeniably demonstrates that Spirituality and Science cannot be separated from one another. University theories (separated from Spirituality) are therefore not part of Sound Science, but instead form the skeleton of a dogmatic belief system called “scientism”, in which the emphasis lies on the tangible. Furthermore, anything that deals solely with the intangible (separated from Science) is not Solid Spirituality at all, but consists at its core of nothing but unhinged imagination, which is referred to here as “phantasism”.
Only when you yourself have determined that neither scientism nor phantasism can provide you with the answers to your essential life questions, are you ready for Wholly Science. It is therefore entirely pointless to try to convince people who are not yet ready for this of the validity of Wholly Science. Therefore, keep searching as hard as you can for the answers you seek, and only knock at the door of Pateo’s School for Methodological Human Development (based on Wholly Science) once you are certain that you cannot get your questions answered anywhere else. If you knock at this door too early, you will, for example, quickly return to New Age (or your own imaginative fabrications) as soon as Wholly Science becomes too confronting for you. However, if you are certain that New Age, as well as all other religions or variants thereof, are deceiving you, then you will be able to resist the temptations of phantasism. Furthermore, a school is necessary because no one can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, and only within a Methodological School can Humans be developed.
Furthermore, bear in mind that the development into a Human is not a linear process. It involves falling and getting back up again, much more often than you would like. However, it is not at all about how often you fall, but about how determined you dare to get up again and again. Moreover, it is sometimes inevitable that you must fall first, when you are not yet on the right track. This may even mean that after a hard fall you no longer want to continue with Wholly Science at all, and that too is part of the process, that is to say, ‘part of your process’. However, do not be too proud to knock again at Pateo’s door as soon as you are drawn to Wholly Science once more (even years later). Know that Pateo’s door always opens as soon as you knock.
