The Interactions Between Instinct and Intellect and its Impact on
Human Behavior
Length: 326 Pages
Spirituality fragments humans into theists and atheists. Believers
take every mystical claim of their faiths as facts, while atheists
dismiss them as superstitions. From this emerges an irreconcilable
contradiction and endlessly debates. The improper understanding of
the human mind inevitably leads huge number of people to
misunderstand many aspects of human affairs hat also includes
religion. Thus, both sides render their mutual points of contention
that have little relevance to the true intent and meaning of
religion and render the debates superficial and inconclusive. To
understand religion we need to identify what in the mind compels
spirituality that finds reflection in so many different religions.
We need to discover why despite the vast differences in the
appearances of all religions at the core they all advocate the same
things and prohibit certain other things? What invisible forces in
the course of millennia have rendered them so similar, yet so
different? What practical human needs precipitated their creation
and what forces have sustained them?
Instead, however, both sides find the roots of religion in heavens
and thus, the practical aspects of religion get permanently hidden
in the thick of religious mysticism. And therefore, the most
obvious, but the superficial aspect of religion get studied and
asserted by one side and refuted by the other. Thus, I argue that
an objective understanding of faith can only be acquired through
understanding the psychology of religion and the mental forces that
compel it, as Sigmund Freud tried to find without much success. And
that can be best understood in the context of the contradictions
between humans' progressing intellect and stagnant instincts, as it
is depicted in this book clearly.
Important new questions and answers emerge from this perspective
for the first time that issues serious challenges to believers and
nonbelievers alike. For instance, if somehow Jesus, Mohammad and
Moses were never born, would their 3,000,000,000 followers go
without faith forever? They did not appear in India and China and
elsewhere and the indigenous people invented godless religions of
their own. Then, what was the relevance of these great leaders and
even God to larger picture of religion? On the opposite side many
refute religion for not being scientific and desire their demise,
yet they cherish art that is just as unscientific? The same people
also claim that faith, being archaic, are useless for modern time
and desire their eradication, but they never demand the same for
state, which is just as old. This study also explores if faith and
evolution are irreconcilable contradictions and then, proves that
not only they are not in contradiction, but faith (not creation) is
the essence of evolution, and we see this old phenomenon of faith
in a new way and solve its mystery.
