Thread: An artist and philosopher who had to become a scientist

I’m Christina Sponias from Sao Paulo, Brazil, but I live in Athens, Greece because my family is Greek, and for many other reasons.

I was a literature writer during my childhood and adolescence, but I had to become a scientist when I became a young adult. I understood that I was neurotic and I looked for psychotherapy by reading many scientific books.

This was the beginning of my long journey. I continued Carl Jung’s research about the meaning of dreams and our mental health.

I love science, the same way I love philosophy, religion, and art.

I believe that we have to pay attention to everything at the same time if we want to find wisdom.

Science is really fantastic because it gives us many explanations. When I was in the beginning of my research I felt as if I was born to be a scientist. However, later I understood how important my artistic, religious, and philosophical background was during my research.

I’m glad I found this interesting forum, and I hope to have very interesting discussions here.

welcome

Makes you well rounded- you can argue from many positions.

Some of us, such as myself- will speak disparagingly of philosophy. Keep your wits about you.

But being an artistic person is a boon as well as having experience in journalism.
