Discovery Involves Unfolding of the Mind

Discovery Involves Unfolding of the Mind experiment, an idea illuminates the mind of the scientist. This flash of inspiration coincides with some knowledge in his unconscious. Then after study and observation, he arrives at the point of a ‘new’ reality: this is what is called discovery. For instance, a scientist was once observing a covered pot of water which was being heated. When the heat reached 100 degrees Celsius, the boiling water’s steam raised the pot’s lid. The scientist began to reflect on this and finally discovered that when the temperature of the water increases, its molecules break up and disintegrate in gaseous form, and with this molecular disintegration, steam power is produced. With this power, engines can be moved. The idea of this property of water already existed in man’s unconscious mind. This observation coincided with the idea in his mind; as a result, man discovered what is known today as steam power. In this way, it would be more appropriate to say that ‘discoveries are the results of coincidences.’ God has placed the knowledge of all things in man’s unconscious mind. Therefore, discovery is only an unfolding of the mind which can be scientific or spiritual in nature.
