Understanding Psychology

#9 - Jungian Psychology: The Greatest Sin Is To Be Unconscious

Emotions disrupt our path to fulfilment. The Christian tradition ingeniously identified certain emotions that objectively disrupt our ability to attain virtue and therefore regarded them as sin. If we exist within our vices unconsciously, we are committing the greatest sin of all: unconsciousness. When our ability to attain virtue is blocked, our path towards fulfilment also declines. 1. Lust spoils devotion We can only have devotion when our intentions are pure, true commitment requires true intention. But lust is the opposite, lust is non-committal and therefore impure. Devotion cannot be actualised through lust. 2. Anger spoils knowledge Anger clouds our understanding of life, for knowledge requires a calm and open mind to expand and thrive. Anger instead leads us down a path of anti-knowledge, towards rash absolutism that denies the reality of perspective, incrementalism and empathy. 3. Greed spoils sacrifice The insatiable desire to find fulfilment in that which is temporary through stubbornness bankrupts our ability to find fulfilment in that which is everlasting through sacrifice. When we have our eyes on sacrifice our fulfilment can be found by giving ourselves up selflessly for a noble cause, greed only leads to selfishness which then leads to misery when no greater purpose for our lives is found.

#8 - Law of Attraction DEBUNKED: You Cannot Attract What You Want

You cannot attract what you want. You can only attract WHAT YOU ARE. The law of attraction is a metaphysical pseudoscience that claims that one can attract anything they desire by thinking positively. However, there is no empirical scientific evidence supporting the law of attraction, and it is widely considered to be based on erroneous, unfounded assumptions. Many people get caught up in the idea of the law of attraction but most of the time it is wishful thinking maintained through the negation of suffering. Positive affirmations of grandiosity are not going to change your life, they are only going to inflate your own sense of self-importance which is going to hurt you in the long run. This is because positive affirmations don't lead to real-world behaviour change. The law of attraction claims that you can attract things simply by the power of thought but doesn’t emphasis the most powerful act you can commit: behaviour change. Instead, positive affirmations only create a blanket of comfort which negates the most important message you need to know: If change in your life is desired, the toleration of suffering that comes from stepping into the uncomfortable unknown through behaviour change must also be accepted. This is because change requires you to do things you don't usually do, those things are usually not comfortable at first. You cannot attract what you want by remaining to be the same person you have always been and expect different results. That would be the definition of insanity. New age thought negates the necessity of suffering so that its message gains popularity through the power of false hope wrapped in positive, pseudo-spiritual platitudes of self-righteous pride. This usually leads you back wanting more of their “magic formula” because they only tell you what you want to hear, not what you actually need to hear.

#7 - MBTI-Labelling: Why Personality Tests Are Unreliable In Psychology

The core of the individual is a mystery of life, which dies when it is "grasped" (MBTI-labelling) You are NOT a "character type". We instead have a system-Self that regulates, transforms and evolves depending on life experience that are based around 4 core archetypes of the psyche. This is because the ego can be broken down and reformed. This system-Self is maintained by (in)expression of universal archetypes, such as: The King, Warrior, Magician & Lover within masculinity in men. It is these archetypes that can fall in and out of their shadow components during different periods of life which change and evolve the structure of your personality and ego-identity. This is why you will never remain a singular personality type throughout your entire life. Because typology cannot discover objective truths as it claims it can. We are subjective beings living through objective archetypal experiences. In 2 years ahead of time (depending on your individuation progress and maturity) you will have a different personality that is not the same as before, this is also why your personality type test results will change over time. If it doesn't change it either means one of two things: 1. You are very self-aware and have a strong sense of Self that remains consistent throughout the years, through the journey of self-discovery you have come to understand who you are very well. Or... 2. That you are not living out your life as you should to experience the growth needed to evolve and overcome the results of your personality types inferior functions, not confronting your inferior functions holds you back from complete self-awareness to be able to develop a well rooted ego-identity. Identifying and working on your inferior functions in relation to your present personality test result is the key to developing a well rounded ego-identity through self-development.

#6 - How To Have Infinite Motivation (Psychology Hack)

People underrate the power of motivation because they cannot tell the difference between what extrinsic and intrinsic motivation is and how the latter (intrinsic motivation) is the true source to never-ending drive, persistence, inspiration and action. Intrinsic motivation stems from internal factors, where individuals find personal satisfaction, enjoyment, or fulfilment in performing a task. This form of motivation is driven by inherent interest, curiosity, or a sense of accomplishment. Extrinsic motivation instead relies on external rewards or punishments, such as praise, recognition, financial incentives, or fear of consequences, this form of motivation will NOT reap you the discipline you are looking for because it has nothing to do with your passion or purpose. But there is much more to this... To cultivate PERMANENT motivation with regards to what we are doing on a daily basis we need to optimise the 5 key intrinsic motivators, these are: 1. Curiosity: the insatiable itch to learn everything you work on. 2. Mastery: the pursuit for excellence and continuous improvement. 3. Autotelicity: the love for the activities you do at work. 4. Purpose: how the work you do fulfils a higher meaning beyond yourself. 5. Autonomy: being in control of the when, how and what of your work. If you want to optimise your motivation YOU HAVE TO optimise these 5 key principles to intrinsic motivation the best you can so that your motivation becomes unstoppable and that you never hit a dead end ever again. The best way I would recommend doing this is by identifying which principal of #intrinsicmotivation [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/intrinsicmotivation] is FLAT-LINING the most in your work or career. Once you have identified it you should then shift focus towards boosting your work or career towards that intrinsic motivator principle in relation to your personal needs. You want to always make sure that your #curiosity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/curiosity], #mastery [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mastery], #autotelicity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/autotelicity], #purpose [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/purpose] and #autonomy [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/autonomy] are maintained and aligned towards your #idealpersonality [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/idealpersonality] and desire. 1-1 COACHING: ⁠⁠⁠https://antiprocrastination.carrd.co⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDNBRUttNHpxNVRPMGgzaWRfekNtOXNFWWU5UXxBQ3Jtc0ttX3JIcV9kZkQ4eEtuVlIwaUVOWTR2UHQwVTJCeXhfZEdDRUNjM2JxT1NwYkZqX25XWkJtZmhZc0NIX3pOY1Y5Ql94UXF2RU1JSFNtR0hQd1pZamtEWFlOcmZtTGxINWk5Y2lQZzRHcHJtbFJLM0tsOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fantiprocrastination.carrd.co%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg]⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDNBRUttNHpxNVRPMGgzaWRfekNtOXNFWWU5UXxBQ3Jtc0ttX3JIcV9kZkQ4eEtuVlIwaUVOWTR2UHQwVTJCeXhfZEdDRUNjM2JxT1NwYkZqX25XWkJtZmhZc0NIX3pOY1Y5Ql94UXF2RU1JSFNtR0hQd1pZamtEWFlOcmZtTGxINWk5Y2lQZzRHcHJtbFJLM0tsOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fantiprocrastination.carrd.co%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg]FREE INDIVIDUATION COURSE: ⁠⁠⁠https://thoughtsonthinking.gumroad.com/l/unlockingindividuation/⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnNZdnlhTFdOZ2RTeW5WSzNIZ2xuT29BQS05UXxBQ3Jtc0trYWpMaXFDZm9naDZlWHRGQmpLMG9yS0lXVlF6Y1dIV3g5UVpRVWtLSHlQSzJVa255LWRDb0NTUUJnUm9uMDFsaElFa3o3RHB3cUZSRk9Cb2h3cUxXVHJKRzlEZnpGeFZfNjBLOEZNVl9DUThuWmh6SQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fthoughtsonthinking.gumroad.com%2Fl%2Funlockingindividuation%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg] INSTAGRAM: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsonthinking/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjhpT2FvTVhhN01Ud1BGRmZySzFxalF3Q0Nfd3xBQ3Jtc0tuVDlTV3dtQ2stWTkzc0licTljTGFObTNLSHUzbXR2aHljaTBnYzhpLWI2bG1zaE9JTG1PeHRKaTBfWkhRTV92SWRqQXcybFRUUHd0TUdiSXVZdFZBQ0ljYmJTR2xpR0hRZEs0ZU1Nb1E3YXowZllhZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fthoughtsonthinking%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg]

#5 - Accessing The Archetypes of The Mature Masculine

How do we access the archetypes of the mature masculine within male psychology? The 4 archetypes of the mature masculine within Jungian psychology are embodied within the king, warrior, magician and lover framework. How do we overcome the shadows of these archetypes and the passive/active expression of their forms? Understanding this is essential for any man to maintain an understanding of what it means to be a man of virtue in his transition from boyhood to manhood in his psychological, philosophical and personal development. 1-1 COACHING: ⁠⁠https://antiprocrastination.carrd.co⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDNBRUttNHpxNVRPMGgzaWRfekNtOXNFWWU5UXxBQ3Jtc0ttX3JIcV9kZkQ4eEtuVlIwaUVOWTR2UHQwVTJCeXhfZEdDRUNjM2JxT1NwYkZqX25XWkJtZmhZc0NIX3pOY1Y5Ql94UXF2RU1JSFNtR0hQd1pZamtEWFlOcmZtTGxINWk5Y2lQZzRHcHJtbFJLM0tsOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fantiprocrastination.carrd.co%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg]⁠ ⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDNBRUttNHpxNVRPMGgzaWRfekNtOXNFWWU5UXxBQ3Jtc0ttX3JIcV9kZkQ4eEtuVlIwaUVOWTR2UHQwVTJCeXhfZEdDRUNjM2JxT1NwYkZqX25XWkJtZmhZc0NIX3pOY1Y5Ql94UXF2RU1JSFNtR0hQd1pZamtEWFlOcmZtTGxINWk5Y2lQZzRHcHJtbFJLM0tsOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fantiprocrastination.carrd.co%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg]FREE INDIVIDUATION COURSE: ⁠⁠https://thoughtsonthinking.gumroad.com/l/unlockingindividuation/⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnNZdnlhTFdOZ2RTeW5WSzNIZ2xuT29BQS05UXxBQ3Jtc0trYWpMaXFDZm9naDZlWHRGQmpLMG9yS0lXVlF6Y1dIV3g5UVpRVWtLSHlQSzJVa255LWRDb0NTUUJnUm9uMDFsaElFa3o3RHB3cUZSRk9Cb2h3cUxXVHJKRzlEZnpGeFZfNjBLOEZNVl9DUThuWmh6SQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fthoughtsonthinking.gumroad.com%2Fl%2Funlockingindividuation%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg] INSTAGRAM: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsonthinking/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjhpT2FvTVhhN01Ud1BGRmZySzFxalF3Q0Nfd3xBQ3Jtc0tuVDlTV3dtQ2stWTkzc0licTljTGFObTNLSHUzbXR2aHljaTBnYzhpLWI2bG1zaE9JTG1PeHRKaTBfWkhRTV92SWRqQXcybFRUUHd0TUdiSXVZdFZBQ0ljYmJTR2xpR0hRZEs0ZU1Nb1E3YXowZllhZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fthoughtsonthinking%2F&stzid=Ugxm739uNBQcPnGtdOh4AaABAg]
