Modern day science has its origins from ancient wisdom. Scientists during the scientific revolution – 11th to 18th centuries — mainly around 17th century) took what could be reproduced with the scientific method and left what they couldn’t understand / reproduce out. This, in effect, left the world beleeving (believing) that ancient wisdom is bunk (which it is not).
I am a student of ancient wisdom and proof that it does work and is very useful to our society and living the best lives possible.
