Scientology isn't the "worship of science". It's a cult, and a dangerous one.
There are multitudes of people who have suffered tragic experiences during their involvement with Scientology. Read about them here:

Here are more "bad experiences" with the cult including an illegal plot to infiltrate the government, brainwashing techniques, mind control camps, attacks on critics, and DEATHS caused by Scientology doctrine and members:
● Operation Snow White – Under this official program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, & theft of documents in government offices. This program constituted the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Among the 11 prominent Scientologists convicted of this conspiracy was Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of Scientology’s “prophet”.

● Operation Freakout - Their campaign of sabotage & violence against Paulette Cooper, the writer who published her research & findings on several cults, including Scientology. Scientology’s official plan: to frame Paulette, ruin her career & reputation & get her either incarcerated or locked up in psychiatric confinement.

● Fair Game - the Scientology policy detailing how the organization may confront & handle critics & perceived enemies. Here is a direct quote: "Enemies may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”

● Physical & psychological punishment: Scientologists who "break the rules" while members of the "Sea Org" must subject themselves to the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), which includes regimes of harsh physical punishment, forced self-confessions, social isolation, hard labor and intensive ideological indoctrination.

● Brainwashing & mind control: Scientology exerts control over its members by means of typical cult tactics, including but not limited to controlling information about internal doctrine & criticism of the organization, severely restricting social contact outside the cult (including the practice of “disconnecting” with any family who question the credibility & trustworthiness of the cult), creating an “us against them” mentality by villainizing a specific out-group (for Scientology, it’s psychiatrists), & claiming all those outside the cult are unenlightened.

You don't.
It's not that kind of religion.
There is also no worship involved.
Suggest you read some basic Scientology books and find out what it actually is.
Reading "about" it is not the same thing as knowing what it is about.
Reading the Basic books would be your best first step to finding this out for yourself.
By the way..... in Scientology we do not say "my soul"
since our most basic principle is that YOU are your own immortal soul.
How can you nourish yourself ?
Read the Basic books.

If you need nourishment (spiritual one) you can read holy books and think over their message by yourself, without relying on "spiritual leaders" and institutions and "temples" (churches, mosques, singagogues, ...). You must live your Spiritual Freedom and try to keep in touch with God (which is inside your Heart, not "just" outside you) personally. Read about what Jiddu Krishnamurti said. It can help. Then Sri Aurobindo, then the Baha'ullah and anyone who tried to keep in touch with the Divine One without getting tricked by institutional religions (which are almost a matter of "businesses"). INNER LIGHT.

After giving them a HECK of a lot of money and allowing them to mess with your head,(youre all messed up because your mother tried to abort you with a coat hanger didnt you know?) then they reveal this cr@p:
Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.
Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.
Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).
These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.
The story doesn't end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a "thetan" in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).
After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called "implanting".
When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.
As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.
OOPS, did I spoil it for you?

You must buy all of L. Ron Hubbard's books and attend the seminars etc. Then send Kelly Preston, Tom Hanks, and John Travolta letters asking for their help in joining Scientology.

There is nothing wrong in nourishing your soul.
Do you have a reasonable bank balance, it may be this that is supressing you from feeling nourished, scientology can help you relieve this burden and in return fill your soul.

I know about Christianity, a little about Islam and Scientology----but you will find "nourishment for your soul" in direct contact with Diety---not in organized religions----Look to God/Goddess first and to your choice of religion second---Blessings!

Yeah, only Jesus can nourish your soul. He's the ONLY one. Scientology is really a cult. You just need to find a solid personal relationship with the Lord. Call out to Jesus, ask Him into your heart, ask Him to forgive you your sins, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He will never disappoint you. He is always there, and He is always faithful, just cry out to Him. God loves you so much. Check out the videos on this website. You will find the truth here, I promise. www.extremeprophetic.com I understand how you got confused by religion, but Jesus isn't religious! It's relationship. Just call out to Him, and He'll heal your heart. Ask the Holy Spirit to come, and just rest in the presence of God. He'll speak to you. Remember, it was the religious guys who didn't believe Jesus and ended up killing Him! Religion is not the answer. You'll find the answers in your own personal time with Jesus. He'll give them to you Himself.
