Spiritual Survey #001

PhD in Psychology

There will be a few of these surveys that I am extremely thankful that you have decided to help me by being a part of the study. The study, “Spirituality as an integral part of the Human Psychology” aims to prove that in-lieu of the five senses that we all remember from health class, there is another one. The sixth one, which my studies will prove that is connected to the spiritual world around us. Whether you believe in a god, gods, or spirits, is irrelevant here, I would like to prove that every life form has a spirit with which it can communicate. I deeply appreciate you taking the time to complete the surveys, as they are data points at which I can structure the “real-world” brain monitoring tests later during the study.

All information necessary for this study is completely anonymous, and I do not collect any information “behind the scenes”, as I am only interested in proving my theory. You can either choose to be a part of the study, or not. If you have any questions about the studies, please don’t hesitate to email me at studies@akoutlaw.com. You’re welcome to review the DRAFT OUTLINE of the thesis here [THESIS]
