You Are the Universe
Nov 1400:07:03Tap to summarizeFor centuries, science and spirituality have been seen as opposites; one logical, the other mystical. But I believe they are two sides of the same coin, both pointing to the same truth: we are not just made of matter, we are the matter that consciousness expresses itself through.In this podcast), I explore how biology, physics, cosmology, and energy all weave together to create what we call the human experience.From the electrical current that powers every thought, to the quantum mechanics that explain manifestation, I break down why spirituality and science don’t contradict, they complete each other.If you’ve ever wondered how to make sense of both logic and intuition, or how to bridge the analytical and the mystical within yourself, this one’s for you.
