Cognitive Dissonance

I realize the reason why I'm experiencing so much cognitive dissonance right now is because I'm studying for my social psyc test. My my..it just occurred to me that Psychology can be or in fact, is a very intellectual subject.

The reason why we feel confuse, perturb or discomfort at times, especially during decision making, is because we are experiencing cognitive dissonance. This is when whatever we do or need to do does not seem to reflect what we perceive of our own self-image. Therefore, there is an inconsistency. And it does affect our self-esteem. That's why it's so disturbing.

I just had a revelation. God said that He has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are mighty.

The message of salvation is unto one by faith and not by intellect. Things of God are just way beyond human intellect. It's impossible to figure out things of God using human intellect. We will really become psychotic if we do that. God said if we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit means going beyond human intellect. We don't rely on our own human intelligence. Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to say we become floaty brainless Christians. God gave us intellect and a mind for a reason. However, intellect is not all to what God has called us to do. If God can use the weak, prudent and not-so-wise to do great things and change the world, something extra must be present! And the only way that can happen is through the Spirit of God! God set us free not to let us live in the bondage of our own flesh again. There's such a fine line to draw. Indeed, God says where the Spirit is, there is liberty. Walk in the Spirit and be free!

Sometimes, we really need some counseling..not from men, but from God.
Indeed, psychology is the 9th level while God is the 10th level.
Psychology is merely a channel to understand why people behave the way they do. Period.
