The Deserted Science: On the Collapse of Interior Truth

Sunday, April 6, 2025

Science did not fail because it was false.
Science failed because it forgot where it came from.

Originally born from a radical desire to understand the world,
science emerged as a method of inquiry,
a gesture of humility before the unknown,
a will to observe without superstition,
to touch truth beyond doctrine.

But over time,
science was severed from the body.
Severed from intuition.
Severed from lived experience.
It became a machine of external verification,
a closed loop of measurement and replication
that no longer required inner clarity.

The problem is not that science is too strict —
the problem is that it is now too detached.
Detached from ethics.
Detached from love.
Detached from the felt truth that resides in every sentient being.

In this detachment, a silent betrayal took place:
humans were trained to doubt themselves,
to silence their inner resonance,
to look outward for validation,
and in doing so,
they abandoned the very organ of perception that makes truth possible.

The desertion is not merely institutional.
It is existential.
We have replaced the question of what is true
with the question of what can be proved. And in that shift,
we have lost the capacity to recognize
truths that cannot be capitalized, measured, or reproduced.

Climate denial, historical erasure, emotional suppression —
these are not random anomalies.
They are the direct result of a world that no longer trusts what it feels.

True science must be reclaimed
not by returning to pre-rational mysticism,
but by reconnecting with the body, with ethics, with inner lucidity.
Science must descend again —
not into darkness,
but into the depths of being where reality is not just seen,
but felt.

This is not anti-science.
This is post-desertion science —
a science that remembers how to feel.
A science that does not fear love.
A science that recognizes:
truth begins where we stop outsourcing our responsibility to know.
