For the last Severn years or so I have lived alone with very little money. During times of no food I have eaten rice with fingers and could not help but imagine that this is how the Tibetan Buddhist Monks would be sat meditating and eating rice with their fingers and following their belief rituals.
Now I live with my partner and although on the same money I am somewhat better off. I am able to eat rice with a fork and talk to my partner about my thoughts on religion which is a great relief.
However, there have been times when we have had little food in due to outstanding debts. It is then that I begin to look to faith for answers. But, when my hunger is appeased I become more logical in thinking and have become to believe that maybe religious beliefs originated from times of starvation. This makes sense when drought would mean no crop and the people would pray to the Gods or perform rain dances for the rains to come.
Therefore, psychology is determined by physiology which can be manipulated intern.
