Holism & Learning=Making Distinction

[Shane Lim]

I conducted one academic study about the difference between religiosity and spirituality on the quality of life among elders. I made a distinction between religiosity and spirituality, and through my "meat-grinder" process, my result showed there is a difference between religiosity and spirituality on the elders' quality of life. 

My professor who takes a stand on holism questioned my research purpose on distinguishing religiosity and spirituality because everything is interconnected. I couldn't answer it at that time but she let me conducted the research anyway. After Leo released the video of "Learning=Making distinction", I concluded that making distinctions is a way to study reality.  

Today's video release about holism brought me back to the moment where my professor using holism to question my research purpose. It got me confused for a while, but my take is that everything is interconnected, but in order to understand reality, one of the ways is to make distinctions. 

High-quality inputs are needed. 

PS: My study also showed there is a relationship between religiosity and spirituality. 

 

[Leo Gura]

Reality is the sum total of all possible distinctions.

Hopefully that professor was only using that holism objection as a skillful means.

The only trouble is that some people figure the distinctions are real.

Sorry for the low-quality input but that's all there is to it really. Don't allow yourself be impressed by words and you'll be fine.
