I think Deepak Chopra offers some interesting observations in this article:
Until the official picture changes, astrology is bogus, astronomy is legitimate. Ghosts are bogus, apparitions of the Virgin Mary are — well, that’s the rub. Religious people are allowed to cling to a different model of reality, tolerated by the official gatekeepers but not believed in.
So how is it that a contemporary enlightenment can unfold within the hearts and minds of those of us who adhere to a mythic God with all of the trappings associated with this worldview?
