Scientists, at least some of them, recognize the need for authentic spirituality.

"Organized religions in their present form often breed dissent and contribute to the global crises. But a religion based on a genuine mystical perspective could make a real difference in the world." (Grof in Laszlo, Grof, and Russell, 1999: 41)

At the cradle of all great religions were visionary states, the transpersonal experiences of their founders--Budha's experience of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Mohammed's miraculous journey, or Moses' vision of Jehova in the burning bush. The Bible is full of descriptions of such experiences...." (Grof in Laszlo, Grof, and Russell, 1999: 37)
