What is conversion?

Conversion can take many different forms. The way it is accomplished depends largely upon the individual- his temperament, his emotional balance, his environment, and his previous conditioning and way of life. Conversion may follow a great crisis in a person’s life; or it could come after all former values have been swept away, when great disappointment has been experienced, when one has lost one’s sense of power through material possessions, or lot the object of one’s affections. A man and woman who has been focusing all attention on financial gains, business or social prestige, or centering all affection on some one person experiences a devastating sense of loss when denied the thing that has given life its meaning.
