Religion and Faith, definition and importance to life

Elements and definitions of religion, according to Maurice Morris Jastrow (Polish-born American Orientalist born in Warsaw in 1861-1921. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1881, studied Semitic languages ​​and history of religions in Paris and Leipzig) .

According to Jastrow three elements: 1) recognition of one or more powers that are independent of us, 2) a sense of dependence on men with respect to this power or powers, and 3) the possibility of treatment and communication with these powers. says, "if these three elements come together in a proposition we can define natural religion as the belief in one or more higher powers, for which we experience a feeling of dependence.

This belief and in turn produce feeling in us an organization, a series of specific acts and a rule of life that tends to establish and maintain favorable relations with the powers above. "

Essential elements of religion: a) body of doctrine, a series of traditional beliefs about the origin and destination of the world, particularly the human race, b) set of rules of conduct imposed on human action on behalf of higher power it depends on who, c) system of rituals and practices permitted or imposed.

Dr. Carl Jung that during the last thirty years have consulted in all countries. Patients over 35 years, there was no one whose problem was not that of finding a religious outlook on life. "I can say that all they felt sick because they had lost what the living religions of every age have given their faithful and none of them really healed without conquering the religious perspective. "

William James said: "Faith is a Force that gives life to men and the total lack of it means a crash."

All human beings when we go beyond the problems and we are at the limits of our strength we turn to God. It would be good practice be done without going to extremes limit, which in most cases makes people fall into despair, which is a bad adviser and makes us quickly lose track.

This can be avoided with the Faith in God Faith in Nature, in a higher power. Faith is accompanied by Hope, by which in these difficult times allows us to maintain mental balance, to accept things as they are and despair which overrides any positive thinking.

Many people do not believe in that force Superio, but if you stop to look for a second nature, the universe (which is a perfect piece of engineering). All this wonder not lead us to think that there is nothing Superio, but all otherwise. The things themselves are not, that the Father says Oscar G. Quevedo and gives us the example of a cigarette, there is nothing simpler to assemble and yet is not alone.

The most simple needs someone to be carried out. Prayer helps us to overcome the fears and concerns.
