Psychology / yourself.

[china]

What do we mean by psychology? Do we not mean the study of the human mind, of oneself? If we do not understand our own make up, our own psyche, our own thought-feeling, then how can we understand anything else? How can you know what you think is true if you have no knowledge of yourself? If you do not know yourself, you will not know reality.
Psychology is not an end in itself. It is but a beginning. In the study of oneself, right foundation is laid for the structure of reality. You must have the foundation but it is not an end in itself, it is not the structure. If you have not laid the right foundation, ignorance, illusion, superstition will come into being, as they exist in the world today. You must lay the right foundation with right means. You cannot have the right with wrong means.
The study of oneself is an extremely difficult task and without self-knowledge and right thinking, ultimate reality is not comprehensible. If you are not aware of and so do not understand the self-contradiction, the confusion and the different layers of consciousness, then on what are you to build? Without self-knowledge that which you build, your formulations, beliefs, hopes will have little significance.
To understand oneself requires a great deal of detachment and subtlety, perseverance and penetration; not dogmatism, not assertion, not denial, not comparison which lead to dualism and confusion. You must be your own psychologist, you must be aware of yourself, for out of yourself is all knowledge and wisdom. Nobody can be an expert about you. You have to discover for yourself and so liberate yourself; not another can help you in freeing yourself from ignorance and sorrow. You create your own sorrow and there is no saviour but yourself........believe it or not.

No man is an island. You insist in the preeminence of individuality. That is an aberation of mechanized thinking. Alone we attain lonelyness.

That is an aberation of mechanized thinking.

There is nothing mechanical about my thinking .How sad that you can't go beyond the words .

Alone we attain lonelyness.

That's what I mean .If you understand my writing ,than you know that I'm. "preaching" unity .

Psychology is the study of everyone's bull****.
Taylor

You know how it is when you go to be the subject of a psychology experiment, and nobody else shows up, and you think maybe that's part of the experiment? I'm like that all the time. Steven Wright
US comedian and actor (1955 - )

Psychology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



"Psychological science" redirects here. For the journal, see Psychological Science (journal).
Not to be confused with Phycology.
Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the phenomenological and scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Psychologists study such concepts as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, behavior, interpersonal relationships, and the individual and collective unconscious. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity including issues related to daily life—e.g. family, education, and work—and the treatment of mental health problems. Psychology attempts to understand the role these functions play in social behavior and in social dynamics, while incorporating the underlying physiological and neurological processes into its conceptions of mental functioning. Psychology includes many sub-fields of study and application concerned with such areas as human development, sports, health, industry, media, law.

psychology/yourself

I think that in most cases people continually psychoanalyse themselves too much, each of us believe what we believe, not because this is what we think, but because this is what we have been told to think ,we have a self critic of ourselves over almost every action that we do, and not to would be auteristic ,each of us thinks and feels the way we do not because we understand why but because it is easier to let someone else do the thinking for us,were just lazy i think about so many things and if we really did think about our actions then maybe by we would act and behave differently.

Your sorrowfull tears water a bleak flower with bitter fruit. Your sermon falls on the many ears of the one. We're in the realm of words China, here the law of print holds sway. It is a poor medium for natural communication. The subtleties of facial expression, intonation , the ever revealing eyes, shifting feet, the pheromones of fear and love, all that is missing here, it's a Rome of words and you must be Roman while you're here.

I disagree China.

For me my greatest revelations about myself have come from trying to solve the problems of others, or from simply observing the thought processes and patterns of behavior that others display. To say that knowledge can only start with me, and then flow outward, is false. Knowledge flows in all directions. You can never have it only one way.

By.... "observing the thought processes and patterns of behavior that others display" you are obviously comparing them to something ;the obvious thing would be yourself .We are 'what is' with unique qualities. No one else has lived through precisely the same circumstances, possesses exactly the same qualities, or thinks just the same thoughts. We love, appreciate, and hold dear vastly different things. Because of this, it is nearly impossible to justly compare oneself to others. It is easy to think that if you had her eyes, his house, her job, or his money, that you'd be truly happy. Your value as a person has little to do with what you look like or what you possess and comparing yourself to someone else denies your own wonderful gifts and talents. Everyone has worth, but the source of that worth is individual. Learning to stop comparing yourself to others begins with accepting your worth, because your own acceptance is the most important. The moment you accept yourself for 'what Is" ,you will bereceiving the greatest revelations ...your own.
