In 1944 the psychiatrist and pioneer of transpersonal psychology Carl G. Jung had a heart attack, which led to an exceptionally vivid near-death experience, recalling which he said:Ā ā€œIt seemed to me as if behind the horizon of the cosmos a three dimensional world had beenĀ artificially built up, in which each person sat by himself in a little box. . . . I had been so glad toĀ shed it all, and now it had come about that Iā€”along with everyone elseā€”would again be hungĀ up in a box by a thread. ā€

Mary Shelleyā€™s Frankenstein is a pivotal text whose story haunts us today. Published in 1819, the spirit of the depths below the spirit of the times in which it was written foreshadowed how Victor Frankensteinā€™s dream to animate dead matter has become our nightmare. As a new god who would all but banish death from life, he would use the newly discovered science of electricity and create a technology to create a new race of beings who, as he says, would bless him as their father. But horrified by the creature he has made and whom he never names, he abandons him and denies responsibility for the consequences of his actions.

Do ā€˜realā€™ scientists find an allegiance to both impossible, or even difficult, to maintain?Ā  Does the fact that there are differences in approach to the world make mutual comprehension impossible or incoherent? What are the significant differences Ā between spirituality and religion?
