In university, without really knowing why, I chose to major in psychology/philosophy.

Later, I was glad that I did. In the 1950's, as a pastoral minister, in a rural community with little or no psychiatric care available, I was called on, more than once, to counsel with people who needed "talk therapy". This is when I began to take the courses I took in the "psychology of religion" seriously.

It was even later that I put two and two together and discovered that the "word" delivered with compassion was powerful indeed.

IMO, much of life is determined by what we believe to be true, or false, and the choices we make based on this. Einstein was fond of saying: Imagination is more important than knowledge. 

WITH A NOD OF RESPECT TO RENE DESCARTES--
Who famously said, "I think, therefore, I am..."
==================================

I am, therefore, I have to power to imagine;

The power to imagine anything I choose.

I can choose that I'll be sad,

Or be very, very glad and in the pink;

Or deep down in the blues.

What life will be is up to me;

It's up to me to choose to win, or lose.

So I will be what I choose to see

As I learn how to live right NOW.
