For hundredths of years we have had a relentless attack to a fundamental target: the spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, your self-respect and peace of mind.

 

This wicked and persistent propaganda may have been so successful that maybe you no longer believe you have a spiritual nature but I assure you you do.

 

Convince a man that he is a soulless animal, a meaningless bio-physical entity and that his own dignity and self-respect are delusions, that there is no "beyond" to aspire to, no higher potential self to achieve, and you have a slave.

 

Let a man know he is himself, a spiritual being, that he is capable of the power of choice and has the right to aspire greater wisdom and he will, undoubtedly, feel the potential of his freedom and vehemently seek for spiritual fulfillment, greater understanding and a more ethical way of life.

 

Fortunately, for thousands of years on this planet many thinking men had upheld their own spirituality and considered the ultimate wisdom to be spiritual by nature.

 

Many great thinkers in history explained that life consisted on both the material and the immaterial. The manifested and the non-manifested. The visible and the invisible. Both ARE real.

 

 

One of the tricks is make us believe that "only matter matters" and if you cannot "see" or "touch" something it doesn't exist.

When was the last time you saw or touched Earth's gravity? Or somebody else's thoughts?

Science and spirituality are not a dichotomy (pair of opposites) but complementary. Like day and night are complements of an existing reality where both form a unity. Science itself was borrowed from ancient spiritual studies in India and Egypt.

Spiritual & Scientific pursuit share a common objective: to comprehend the intrinsic order and the mechanics of creation, thus Spirituality and Science are directly and inextricably intertwined. Both form a unity to explain the totality of existence.

Medicine, psychiatry and psychology "solved" the whole problem of "human nature" simply by dumping it into the classification of material nature - body, brain, force. In doing so they avoided the problem and precluded actual search for human nature.

This approach caused mankind to deteriorate, to spend more money on drugs than on food. More and more people depend upon drugs to relieve their ailments, escape boredom and prop up their ability to face the day. Even children now take drugs and million more are given tranquilizers in the classroom.

This approach drove man's attitudes about dealing with existence to the point where he rubs a chemical agent on every part of his life.

It is in this limited view of man that we find the source of what troubles man and cast the longest shadows over his happiness and, indeed, his very ability to survive and live well.

 

The wrongdoing and failure of Psychology: Man is a 'soulless animal' theory.

I came from a German professor in 1879, Wilhelm Wundt. Wundt advanced the theory that man could be totally understood by studding material things only. A trained psychologist, he arrived at the conclusion that investigating the soul or spirit was a waste of time because a man could be studied in the same way that a frog or a rat is studied.

His teaching refuted the dualistic idea that mind and matter were different. It was simply a matter of brain cells, the theory went.

In spite of the fact that Wundt never really proved any of his ideas, the school of modern experimental psychology was born and its based of his theories ever since.

The word psychology means "study of the soul," but today psychologists proclaim that there is no soul and study only animal behavior.

The original definition of psychology died with the unproven idea that an individual's actions were simply a response to stimuli perceived by the organism and were not related to any immaterial part of a person. Ultimately, man was no more that a higher order of "soulless animal." Therefore man could be easily controlled.

Psychology began to amass data to support this view. One of Wundt's students, the Russian professor Ivan Pavlov formulated his principles of mental conditioning, best known for his demonstration that a dog will salivate when the bell rings, if appropriately trained for food.

Happiness is not simply a response to stimuli perceived by human organism. As a matter of fact it's not a response at all, but an spiritual - immaterial - ability we all have to control and change our emotional level. We are not dogs.

Positive Psychology, the new approach of modern psychologist, is a good change. But, still, psychologist maintain the basic principle that happiness can be teached, that we can be trained to be happy. No new vision of man's nature, other than Wundt's, is proposed here.

It's no wonder that all present psychological theories have as its base this materialistic view of man. If man could truly be understood in purely physiological terms, then one could control them on purely physical basis, much like moving a recalcitrant cow by prodding it with a stick.

Do you really think you are just like a cow?

This became the "new" view of man and life. And it's the base of all psychology and psychiatry today: all is material. Man and life rose spontaneously from a sea of ammonia! An they, stubbornly, refuse to change their theoretical basis.

Scientists, like Darwin, William James, Sigmund Freud and many others have studied in detail our most basic emotional processes and how they relate only to the brain, nervous system, hormones, and internal organs.

Their findings are the base of all the knowledge psychology has today about emotions in general, particularly the role of subcortical structures such as the limbic system, hypothalamus, thalamus, basal ganglia, and midbrain.

Joseph Ledoux, Ph.D., a well-known researcher and author on the physiology of emotions, expressed the scientist’s frustrations with the "elusive concept of happiness" when he wrote: “There are many answers for what are emotions/happiness. Many of them are surprisingly unclear and ill-defined.” (Not with us. See our: Exact Definition of Happiness pop up window)

This purely materialistic view of psychology provided man with numerous false solutions to his problems. Man was placed in the position of being materially rich, but spiritually and morally poor.

Broad applications of Wundt's "man is a soulless animal" theory had disastrous and widespread consequences in all areas of society.

The materialistic idea that some peoples are genetically inferior to others and need to be wiped out for the grater good of mankind is a lunacy created and perpetuated to this day by the theories of psychiatry and psychology! (Hitler and the genocidal activity in the former Yugoslavia, euphemistically termed "ethic cleansing" are two examples)

If this strikes you as outrageous, it is!

Psychiatry and Psychology consistently invented more and more mental illnesses during the last fifty years, and the pharmaceutical industry has been quick to jump on inventing the chemical "cures." The effects of this drugs are more damaging than the illness itself!

It is not just mental illness, however. all societal problems which existed before the rise of this materialistic view, have drastically worsened though the use of materialistic solutions.

This theories have caused grow in our culture people who are chronically insecure, dissatisfied and terribly inhibited with a constant feeling of powerlessness and confusion. People who don't believe they wave the ability to change their lives.

Psychiatrists and Psychologists have the stated goal of redefining the concepts of right or wrong, of sane and insane, of ethical and unethical, to suit their arrogant attitude that they are the ones best suited to shape mankind's values and future.

When are they going to accept new scientific discoveries about the nature of universe and existence?

When are they going to quit leaning just on Newtonian view describing the universe as a machine composed only of material particles moving orderly in space and time? (See: Psychology of Happiness)

Psychiatrists and psychologists simply and irresponsibly say: There is no proof we are spiritual beings. Well, you are the scientists, you need proof, then Find the proof! It took physicist more that 30 years of undeterred effort to find "proof" of Albert Einsten's affirmation of the existence of black holes in our Universe.

By the way, there is no proof either that we are just "soulless animals," it's just an assumption you guys have been working with on and on because some "authority" had said so. Where is the proof?

 

Psychology has to give us back our Heart and Soul.

When are they going to give us back the heart, soul and consciousness of our being and stop considering us just a bio-physical collection of interlocking material parts?

True science can only be a process of understanding the world and ourselves, rather than a fixed set of rules for all time, and with the ushering of new discoveries, the old must better be discarded.

Psychology must do a giant leap forward to catch up new and more advanced discoveries about the nature of the universe and recognize, as physicists now know well, that nothing in the universe exist as an actual "thing" independently of our perception of it.

That every minute of every day we are creating our world in a matrix of indivisible interrelations of consciousness and energetic fields.

That subatomic particles are not solid little objects like billiard balls, but vibrating and indeterminate packets of energy that can not be precisely quantified. And so are we all.

That electrons are in all possible orbits around the nucleus at once and influence other particles instantaneously over any distance despite there being no exchange of force or energy.

Psychologist, if they consider themselves true scientists,  must carry on their exploration of the nature of man even if it takes them to places they don't particularly want to go and remain open to new perspectives and discoveries not quite in line with their fixed box of ideas about who and what we humans are.

I hope they are willing to do it.

They need to do it because, so far, they have been unable to find the purpose of life nor The Exact Definition of Happiness (pop up window)
