Religion and Integration of Personality
Keywords:
Integration of Personality, ReligionAbstract
The human person is a fascinating and complex phenomenon. So true is this that it would appear that a total comprehension of its complexity will forever elude us. Moreover it is in a condition of constant change. As we progress in life, and learn more about the phenomenon that is the human, that knowledge itself has its effect and brings about further change. The process is unending, as more study brings about more change and more change calls forth more study. Seemingly we are ever running ahead of ourselves in our quest for knowledge and ever running behind ourselves in our quest for under- standing of that knowledge.
