My scientific mind is the only reason I wasn’t held back in school. Math and science just made sense to me, reading and writing did not. I’ve always enjoyed science’s structure because of the facts, which may change as we learn. As an adult, I love science for a different reason. Science proves the witches were right. There are so many things that we just knew but because people are people they needed the facts to prove them right. It’s why we end up not believing in our intuition. If we listen to our intuition and the bad thing doesn’t happen then there’s no proof it would have ever happened. We doubt ourselves. Science comes along and says here are the facts of why it didn’t happen and it eases that nagging doubt in our mind. We knew the world was round, science proved that. We’ve also known that herbs could heal, science is now proving that. Science is even proving that Energy work heals. I feel that we should weave the scientific and intuitive knowledge together. That’s how alchemy came to do. The “great separation” you speak of comes from the conditioning the need to disconnect us from our knowing. To create doubt and disbelief in our minds because we are easier to manipulate if we live in fear and doubt.

This resonates 😁.

It's interesting that so many of my colleagues (especially the English ones) are bemused / sceptical that a technical / scientific person like me (an engineer) can also hold many spiritual beliefs and listen to my intuition. In Glasgow we are also fond of saying "what's for you won't go by you" (but then many of us are at least 50% Irish / Scottish Highlands and Islands).
