Therapy and Religion

By: Leo, Prof Jack

Never before has man been so close to the fulfillment of his dearest hopes as today. Our scientific discoveries and technological advances enable us to foresee the day when the table will be set for all who are hungry - a day when the human race will form a single community and no longer live in separate entities. Thousands of years were necessary for this development of man's intellectual faculties, for his growing ability to build a social order and to use his energies purposefully. Man has created a new world with its own laws and destiny. Looking at his creation, he can say: Verily, it is good.
But what can he say when he looks at himself? Has he come closer to realizing another dream of mankind - that of the perfection of man? Of the man who loves his neighbor, does righteousness, speaks the truth, and has made real what he possibly is-the image of God?
To ask the question is to embarrass us, for the answer is so painfully clear. While we have created marvelous things, we have failed to make ourselves beings worthy of this tremendous effort. Our life is not that of brotherhood, happiness, and contentment, but a mental chaos and confusion dangerously close to a state of madness-not that hysterical kind of madness that existed in the Middle Ages, but a madness that related to schizophrenia, in which contact with inner reality is lost and thought is split off from feeling.
