Psychology, as a branch of science, has always been revered and interesting for me, and moreover, at one time I even entered the Faculty of Psychology at Moscow State University, but due to the lack of some documents, I did not have time to take the entrance exams.
Later, when I began studying Psychology at the Moscow University of Culture and Art and saw what the standard concepts of this science were based on, I was even glad that I did not enroll in Moscow State University, because the set of tools that our teachers used was, in my opinion, very limited and even boring to the point of yawning.
But is psychology itself to blame?
Psychology, which studies almost the very basis of our lives, our interactions, and our life satisfaction, is, I think, one of the most important disciplines for our way of life.
However, it can be dangerous in the hands of a person who has influence but lacks sufficient wisdom. Because with their actions and advice, such a person may not help, but destroy everything that is painstakingly collected, grown and created by others. Such a person can change the destinies of other people, turn them away from spiritual development, push them into negative actions and thereby, in fact, not save, but on the contrary destroy a person and his chances of happiness.
The psyche, our mind, is the driving force that can change not only the course of events, but also the phenomena of this world as a whole. Therefore, our actions in this direction involve great responsibility and deep knowledge, which is not limited to courses in psychology.
I don’t like standard solutions, I don’t trust all the books written, and I’m not going to listen to people just because they have certain degrees. And again, this does not mean that I will not rely on trusted authoritative sources. Everything is good in moderation, and the Golden Mean must be observed in everything. Your own research is much more important, because it is you who are the master of your world, it is you who build your life, it is you who bear full responsibility for your thoughts and actions.
It’s enough to look at psychologists themselves and understand that if they don’t show us a pattern of happiness in themselves, then something is wrong with their approach to life. That there is another door somewhere, and maybe many doors that are not open, not recognized, or simply not understood.
Even if we look at famous people, we will see that we will find few role models. So Carnegie dies alone, despite the fact that he has stirred up the whole world with his advice on how to make friends, and Nietzsche goes crazy, choosing unique ways of development for the world. It’s like being hit hard on the head when driving a car on a hard bumpy road. Maybe you need a different vehicle or you need to take a completely different road?
Humanity, if we look at it as a whole, is not perfect in its development, even despite the high technical achievements, we still suffer, suffer from depression and die of old age. Shouldn’t we assume that there is something that is still unknown to our minds, inaccessible, and it is unlikely that our scientists will fully comprehend it in the near future? After all, even if we take Chernigov’s research into account, from which we can conclude that even before our thought, something is already happening that controls it, perhaps this something is the root of our entire universe as a whole?
