Religion/Philosophy: My religious views tend to be remarkably similar to those practiced in Sub-Saharan Africa among cultures such as the Ga, the Masai, and the Kikuyu. The basis for most of these cultures is a concept of unity of life and time. A paper written by Thomas Adeoye Lambo, entitled "Psychotherapy in Africa," explains much about these cultures and their religious beliefs. One quote from that article sums up my beliefs rather well: "Reality is found in the soul, in a religious acquiescence to life, not in its mastery. Reality rests on the relations between one human being and another, and between all people and spirits."
