Many studies have shown that imagining God is effective in internalizing the emotional control of anxiety. The present study was conducted with the aim of further investigating the effect of this variable.

In this semi-experimental study, 60 patients were selected from the patients who were candidates for heart surgery, admitted to the surgical departments (30 in the experimental group, 30 in the control group). Beck's anxiety questionnaires, God image inventory and researcher-made attributive questionnaire form C (reconstruction of Wiener scale) were used. People in the intervention group, in addition to drug treatment, with cognitive-behavioral method with emphasis on Islamic thoughts, two group discussion sessions; They received problem solving training based on spiritual skills, but the control group only received drug treatment. The data obtained from the pre-test, after the end of the training session and follow-up one month after open heart surgery, were analyzed through SPSS software.

Data analysis showed that the perception of God has a positive correlation with the locus of control (r = 0.723 **), but the locus of control has a negative correlation with the emotion score (r = -0.597). Also, the results showed that the average anxiety scores in the experimental group in the post-test and follow-up phase were significantly different from before the intervention compared to the control group (P=0.0001). Also, the analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the average scores of the control position and the average of the subscales of perception of God (influence, divine providence, acceptance, presence, challenge, benevolence) in the two experimental and control groups in the follow-up phase (P=0.0001).

Designing and implementing group logotherapy can be an effective approach to reduce anxiety before heart surgery and increase the place of internal control and subscales of perception of God.

Given that the variable of the image of God is related to many psychological components and is a complex variable, the present study set to investigate the effect of meaning therapy on the quality of development of the image of God with respect to individualistic variables among patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

A sample of 60 patients was randomly selected; the study was performed using a three-part demographic questionnaire, Lawrence’s God Image Scale (Lawrence Scale Reconstruction) and the Granqvist family religious status questionnaire (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group). The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman, t-test, Mann Whitney, analysis of variance and Kruskal Wallis. In the present study, all ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests.

The results showed no significant relationship between the variables of age, gender, marital status, and level of education with the total score related to the image of God (P<0.05) in the intervention and control groups. The findings also showed that the perception of God had a significant relationship with the religiosity level of the family (P= 0.0001).

Although the image of God is a complex variable related to many psychological components and has a significant relationship with the religiosity status of the family, but it has no significant relationship with age, gender, marital status and level of education. The results showed that other components are effective in the quality of development of the image of God, which requires more extensive and in-depth studies.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the evolution of the concept of God in Hinduism, considering the impact of different circumstances. The selection of these texts was because; In them, the course of human thought is clearly visible because it is the result of the intellectual efforts of many people over a long period of time and under various conditions. In the first category of these texts, namely the four Vedas, the most important of which is the Rig Veda, many gods are mentioned, which mostly represent natural phenomena. The evolution that occurred at the end of the Rig Veda; Belief in single and abstract gods such as Prajapati and Vishwakarman, which were previously used as attributes for gods. Although this process of abstracting the gods did not continue in the Brahmins, it had a significant impact on the prominence of the concept of sacrifice and its transformation in the Arnikas and the Upanishads. In fact, the internalization of the victim is the result of preferring meditation, concentration, austerity, and self-restraint, and previous long and boring rites and rituals. In these texts, the way to reach the truth and its real worship is not actions, but the right way, removing impurities and It is the elimination of wrong thoughts and illusions. Such thoughts reach their peak in the Upanishads, especially the Rig Veda. In the Upanishads, the absolute truth is Brahman, which includes its unattainable and indescribable duality (Nirguna) and the other Saguna. or the tangible aspect of who you are in its totality.

Manifestism is a stonyism of thought that focuses on the appearances of the book and Sunnah, not using reason and thought in understanding the revelations, and not going beyond the basic meaning of the verses. Especially the fact that these issues are mostly in similar verses, which stagnation on the words and their initial meaning leads to believe in the personification and simile about God. One of the great challenges of the era of the 8th Imam (peace be upon him) from which many of the deviant thoughts of the society came from, were the thoughts and beliefs of appearanceism, which with the anti-rationalism and extreme textualism they had undertaken, without using reason. And wisdom, they had superficial and superficial understandings of verses and traditions, which sometimes led to the belief that God is physical and human. Imam Ali Ibn Musa al-Reza (peace be upon him) has explained this incorrect opinion with a clear and clear statement and in various ways. In this research, we first stated four verses of the verses that are the origin of the belief of likeness and embodiment, and then we expressed the thinking of Imam Reza (peace be upon him) in correcting and fighting against this thinking. The findings of the research indicate that the narrations of this Imam Hammam in the meanings of the verses in the way of intellectual and narrative interpretation and interpretation is the best solution that can guide the Islamic society from irrationality and intellectual stagnation towards rationalism.
