Every teaching which rejects the knowledge and skills gained by science, in order to put forward its own point of view--however "spiritual" this may be--condemns itself in theory and cripples itself in practice. It may do some good and help some people because of the modicum of truth inherent in it, but it would be able to do more good and help more people by accepting the results of science and adding them to its own. This is just as true of scientific medicine itself as it is of a medical-mystical cult.
