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.
