Its good for your heart (part two)

religion, whatever it is, is a man's total reaction upon life..... that was a line from William James book the variety of religious experience, 1902, william james is known psycholgist, a pioneer in introducing the psycholgy into the laboratory in USA...

He talks about the psychological changes in the believer and sais that: the psyche relaxes and regain balance even in the time of anxiety and distress, and the psyche experience a joy, and a feeling of trust in self, in life, or whatever....

He also talks about how religious experience is like a form of self suggestion...

One of the beautiful things he sais is that religion gives us warm connection to life, while scince gives us cold connection to life...
