How would you summarize the points that Damasio wishes to make with respect to God, spirituality and Psychology?
'The God is not a provident God conceived in the images of humans. God is the origin of all there is before our senses, and it is all there is, an uncaused and eternal substance with infinite attributes'.
According to Damasio, he believes that God is simply in nature.He (God) is not a being as we humans tend to think. God doesn't control the outcomes of our emotions, life and situation in the world.In his opinion, every action has a consequence and in order to recieve gratification, we must get rid of the negative thoughts and work hard toward the desired results.
For example, a patient dying of cancer doesn't need to pray to God because the hope of God's healing is false.
Or someone that committed a sinful deed going to church to pray for forgiveness.
