I loved this story, you have a unique turn of words, and I agree with your conclusion, it isn't much different from one I developed at a pretty young age, reading sci-fi, inspired by a grandfather who had a library of such books, after his and my grandmother's experience of seeing what they believed were UFOs in 1938.

I think everything you expect is not unreasonable, but in addition far more will likely happen, as you surmise.

Just one tiniy quibble on your thoughts of what the difference is between science and spirituality; I don't believe there is a hard division between the two.

When the individual first makes the physical realisation, at that point it is between only the individual and nature, but strictly interpreting your description defines that moment as spirituality.

At what point does it become no longer spirituality, but science?

A case in point is James Clerk Maxwell, who's mathematical analysis of the electromagnetic system confounded mathematicians for twenty years, until they learned to speak something similar to the mathematical language he seems to have devised during his study.

Another more practical case in point I wonder about, is Nikola Tesla. He seems to have understood in his head what it took me five years, equipped with an already long history of using modern formal systems Engineering tools to formulate; the connection between energy and money, with all of its implications. If we get the energy for free, then money must also become for free.

I see a whole new specialism of Systems Engineering emerging from there, I call it "Kardashev Engineering", for want of a better term.

Tesla was defunded, preventing him delivering what he believed would be the technical solution, using the technologies available to him at that time.

Yet no-one since seems to have been able to experimentally confirm or disprove the technical feasibility of what he was proposing, leading most folk, including apparently the uncle of a certain president named Trump, to the conclusion it was all just wishful thinking on Tesla's part.

But still we don't actually know if he would not have achieved his goal of creating the system he had in his mind, changing the world to something much better for all of us, from that point onwards.

If he had done that, our understanding of physics might be considerably different from what it is now.

What was he practicing, was it spirituality, or science?
