Psychology and Spirituality: The Universal Laws

Laws or Principles of Science are universal in Nature(Faulconer & Williams, 1985; Slife, 1993; 1995b; 1996b; Slife 7& Williams, 1995). Materialism postulates that the real is the visible and tangible things of the world which exist independently ofthe observer. This assumption is derived primarily from Empiricism wherein materialistic entities are perceivable through the senses. That is, real, material things are thought to make impressions on our minds through the channels of the senses (Slife, 1995a). According to materialism, psychological science is possible only because the behaviors of people make sensory impressions on psychological scientists. Science dealt with mass as mass,and ignored all spiritual matters. Scientific discoveries are manipulations of materials already that exist in the universe. As Vivekananda said, Law of gravitation existed before human discovery and will exist even if all humamty forgot it. Modern Scientists are very true to their material realm and so the Laws of Matter are revealed to them. All the modern inventions and technologies are the discovery which involves arranging systematically the material world and benefit out of it, they are not creations. There is other part of universal truth that is Spiritual Laws though been revealed since ancient periods but not everyone could realize it. More than 20 percent of atheist scientists are spiritual, according to recent research from Rice University (Ecklund & Long, 2011). The present paper deals with the spiritual part of religions with its emphasis to ensure spiritual growth. The fundamental message of all religions however derives from the central core of essential spiritual truths. These spiritual laws are impersonal and universal; they were discovered not created by the scientist in the religion of mystics. They had shown others the way to realize those spiritual laws through various true practices and applying it to daily life which is highly capable for spiritual experimenters to seek the Truth. The theoretical analysis ofthe present paper is to point out few important Universal Spiritual laws mostly from the Eastern religious scriptures and tried to find out the stmilarvtews from Western and other prominent sacred texts.
