My brother graduated from a good school and is a lawyer. He thinks it will be difficult for me, but he encourages me strongly, and says he will help me manage (advisory) my work load. He says we'll take our time

My pre-law degree will be in Chemistry. I have actually chosen this degree as a spiritual discipline. It sounds crazy and is hard to explain, but I had a revelation. I was also advised to study chemistry 20 years ago.

Thank you Valentine. It means a lot to me. astrology and being a member here has really helped me to read the signs and directions, so it is something I'm excited to share with the group.

I've studied chemistry a bit on my own via free public university lectures. I'm a dork.
It's so fascinating though!

Dork and nerd are compliments in my family. I can't say I've earned the titled. We don't throw those terms around lightly. I've been very Piscean in my focus..is that an oxymoron? When I was a kid and attended our Homeschool network classes, I always got in trouble for daydreaming and staring off into space. I had no passion for technology or science. My mother sought advice for which studies we should concentrate on in university, much like South Asians look to Vedic astrology for guidance, only this wasn't through astrology... Anyway imagine my surprise when it came back I should become a mad scientist. I had just finished letting my mother know that I rejected our community's obsession with academics and phds. I was going to get married, have lots of babies, and raise them to be shepherds. Ha ha. I was serious.

But astrology has shown me the light. The advice was sound. I'm just a very, very late bloomer (Saturn/NN, Cancer placements).

It was a Sufi Shaikh and nuclear physicist who suggested I study chemistry. And it is through him that I understand math and science as pure languages that can be used to communicate spiritual ideas and phenomenon.

Alan Lightman, a physicist and the author of Einstein's Dreams wrote a novel about Einstein when he was a young patent clerk, just before he finished or concluded his work on Relativity. The book is 30 short chapters (30 consecutive nights) of Einstein's dreams in those early days. Every chapter takes place in a different dimension where the inhabitants experience time in unique ways. It was at about the middle of the book that I realized that these people in different dimensions with their experiences of time, were no different from what I had been taught about the conditions of the heart and the experience of life and time. I also remembered that I heard it said that Einstein understood his theory early on in spiritual terms, but used science language to share it with the world..

I've had the thought that at least physics has greater potential to inspire mystically (I witnessed it with the nuclear physicist), but chemistry? Yes, actually. Chemistry. Chemistry is aligned with how I interpret the spiritual world. Give me a few years. If we're all still here, Ill be able to explain better.
