Dr. Jay writes: "the secrets to this our Universe here, lies NOT within man's perilous doubts, but within his faith and beyond his fears." In his poem, "The Dream lies Deep within our Soul.." he says: "Without a mountain, without a stream, there's less to conquer, less to glean. Never surrender an impossible dream.! I've said it before, I'll say it again: Is the end, or beginning just around the bend? Without suffering and liberty we become, but only as slaves. Don't walk in fear, walk uprightly. Don't bury or surrender the dream! Run the race (of life) gloriously, while praising Him. For I've known and have been told: To have faith and to live bold!" The SPH research shows that "the relationship between spiritual and psychological health is best discovered in the intrinsic desire and need within all of us for IntraDivine meaning, which comes through intimacy with God, with oneself, and with significant others." Numerous models are shared by the author to reveal the relationship between lifestyle and one's spiritual and psychological health: The Z Force Trust Matrix, the ZV4C Model for Covenant Relationships are two that should be practiced by teachers, parents, coaches and health care doctors.
