Ok betty Jean, what are Grandpierre's views on "spirituality" (Oprah notwithstanding) anyway? What is "out there" in is beliefs, or in his attempts at applying any bits of the scientific method and reason thereupon? Any lowdown here?
In Grandpierre's scientific papers that I've read so far, I haven't seen anything that could be described as a view or a theory of "spirituality," Brother A. He does speak of consciousness, however, in terms of such things as awareness, reason, logic, intelligence, sentience, freedom to select from among alternative courses of action, and the ability to self-initiate action/behavior.
Spirituality is something beyond these things, though it is something of which we can become conscious. But I don't think is a scientific question, and I don't have any reason to think that spirituality as such is a concern of Grandpierre's scientific work.
