Hi jennie, in post #158618 above I stated, "Rational belief in spirituality predetermines a healthy mind". No, spirituality is not the same as superstition & being spiritual is not a mental disorder. </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> KKawohl . . . thanks for elaborating. so what did the first post have to do with the thread's question? (you don't have to explain, i'm really that confused.) i think the word "superstition" is for dogmatists to label others' beliefs as irrational. |

The only scientific basis for continuing a superstition, imo, is that persistent belief creates actuality. You can use that in a positive or negative manner. It isn't the superstition that is truth, but the mind's ability to create what is intended that becomes truth.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
