Here’s How Science and Spirituality Go Hand-In-Hand

This one is for the logical people out there who have a degree of skepticism towards the spiritual world, mysticism and anything that has not yet been explicitly discovered.

I am a woman of science.

I have always had a strange affinity towards the sciences, where the more I learnt, the more I needed to know.

Understanding science became all-consuming and I felt the desperate need to know everything I could. This manifested as endless podcast-listening, searching for clues and answers in journal articles and reading textbooks for fun.

From hard sciences like chemistry and biology, where almost everything is irrefutably measurable (bar the processes we have not yet discovered), to the more elusive study of psychology and medicine, where there is limited evidence to support many theories — all of it fascinates me.

Science is language that must be learnt layer by layer in order to be able to manipulate the words and theories for further extrapolation and application of the knowledge.

You can not learn the cellular processes that underlie pathologies without first understanding the basic structure of the cell and all the types of cells that exist in humans and nature.
