| The Mental Kaleidoscope A kaleidoscope creates beautiful patterns from chaotic bits and pieces, which are scattered everywhere. When the kaleidoscope is turned, disorder becomes order, chaos becomes beauty and symmetry. The Drama of Life is constantly turning and we are part of its cyclic movement; sometimes this cyclic movement of life is supportive, comprehensible (understandable) and enjoyable and, at other times, it is tense, fearful, stressful and incomprehensible (not understandable). There is confusion and fear because we do not understand what is happening, why it is happening and how it will get better. Things not only appear chaotic but also hopeless. If the intellect is able to go beyond the questions of 'Why?', 'What?' and 'How?' and just be still, without judgements, or pressure, for some period of time, then things do work out. To do this requires faith. The power of faith means that we know that somehow and somewhere right solutions and answers will come in their own time. (To be continued tomorrow…) |

LOOKS A GOOD PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVICE.i WOULD FIND IT TOUGH TO TELL A PERSON NOT RECOVERING FROM HIS ILLNESS TO SWITCH OFF HIS INTELLECT AND RELY ON FAITH. I WOULD SAY USE YOUR INTELLECT TO GET BEST TREATMENT ALONG WITH FAITH TO GET BEST RESULTS.

ReplyDeleteI HAVE SOME WHAT DIFFERENT NOTION. THE ABOVE CAN BE DEFINITION OF FAITH , NOT POWER OF FAITH.
POWER OF FAITH IS EXHIBITED WHEN ACCORDING TO ALL EXPERIENCES AND LOGICAL REASONING ‘X’ SHOULD HAPPEN BUT SOME ONE PREDICTS JUST THE OPPOSITE AND SUCCEEDS REPEATEDLY. THUS CONSIDER 100 TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE BEYOND A WEEK. BUT AFTER TAKING HOLY WATER AND NO OTHER TREATMENT ALL (OR MOST)SURVIVE FOR MONTH WHILE ANTHER SIMILAR GROUP TAKING JUST THE STANDARD TREATMENT SHOW NO SUCH RESULT- THIS SHOWS POWER OF FAITH. IN PRACTICE SUCH A FAITH TREATMENT IS NOT ADVISABLE. ONE SHOULD USE PWER OF FAITH IN CONJUNCTION WITH STANDARD TREATMENT TO IMPROVE CHANCES OF CURE. WITHOUT FAITH IN GOD, MEDICINE BUT WITH MEDICATION ONE CAN GET CURED (AS IN CASE ANIMALS, CHILDREN) BUT WITH JUST FAITH AND NO MEDICATION CHANCES ARE SLIM. ADHERENT OF FAITH WILL SAY ‘THERE WAS NO FULL FAITH AND SO THE FAILURE’.BUT THE POOR CHAP WILL KNOW ABOUT HIS LACK OF FAITH JUST BEFORE DEATH. AND THOSE WHO CLAIM TO HAVE FULL FAITH IN FAITH WILL THEMSELVES TAKE MEDICATION WHEN SERIOUSLY ILL!
