Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Most people don’t know the differences are between “psychiatrists” and “psychologists,” and

“Ology” means “the science of.”

And very few psychologists know this but “psychology” means

“The science of the soul”

or

“The study of the soul.”*

The “soul” is a term best forgotten!

How ignorant & how arrogant modern man is!
