Beginning

You can’t love a certain business, engage in it with interest for a long time and not come up with something of your own, something at least partially new. This is not only pleasant, not only meets the human need for self-expression, when you are not just a carrier of other people’s knowledge, but also create your own, it is also inevitable. Because every fan of their business has some own developments, discoveries, their own thoughts and ideas on how to do their business better. I also got them.

When you study psychology for quite a long time and work on its various methods, you have the opportunity to compare all the effects produced by these different methods on people, you will inevitably identify the strongest, most effective moments of influence on people, which can then be packed into something of your own. Which I did, deciding to create my own psychological methodology, which I called higher psychology. Otherwise, it is somehow not serious if you always remain a carrier of only something foreign and do not bring at least a small part of your own to what you are doing. Anyone who is dedicated to their work, whatever it is, will understand me.

Higher psychology was born out of what I was most impressed with about what can affect people, their inner worlds, their minds and souls. And why was I particularly impressed by what is easily the basis of higher psychology? This is the power of religion, the power of faith, the power of suggestion, the power of ideologies, the power of thinking, logic, the power of reasoning, the power of creative approach to life, the power of illusions.

Science is also a strong thing, just as an idea, but only later, as a methodology. It is now considered the best tool for understanding the world. People believe in scientists, believe in scientific authoritative sources of information, for them science has become a new religion. They haven’t checked anything themselves, and they can’t. They even sometimes, despiteт alternative research, do not think, do not analyze, but simply accept on faith everything that science says through various sources. For many people, this or that scientific source is an authority, but not the scientific method of cognition itself. Therefore, for most people, everything scientific is also based on faith. And this is a strong belief. It determines the worldview of a huge number of people, as well as religion.

There is also logic, reasoning, and common sense. You can call all this a philosophy that relies on human thinking. This is also a very powerful thing. And unlike religion or belief in science, a person’s thinking is the most reliable guarantee of proving any truth. For him first of all. Even your own experience is not as reliable as what you can come up with through thinking. Because one’s own experience is only a part of life, and thinking in theory can cover anything and everything. Therefore, he has more trust.

And psychology, particularly cognitive psychology, tells us that the role of thoughts in the state of people is crucialей. Our psychological state depends entirely on our thoughts. Moreover, thoughts can create anything, make any fantasy a reality. Therefore, philosophy is the mother of all sciences, because at first everything is based on philosophical postulates, ideas, assumptions, theories, hypotheses. In general, you can talk usefully about everything and in any way. You can apply an esoteric approach, mystical, scientific, creative, and whatever you want. After all, the most important thing is what? The most important thing is to build such an inner world, to connect such thoughts при которых with each other, in which a person will feel good, willт have the desire to live and strive for a lot, regardless of anything in his life. No matter what happens, a person’s thoughts should help him enjoy life and fight if it is necessary for this life to continue and continue to please him. This is the goal I pursued when I created higher psychology, which will give us all such a methodology, thanks to which we will be able to deal with everything and solve any problems.

All the most powerful things that I discovered in psychology, with the help of which you can influence people and yourself, I decided to collect in one technique, formulating the approach in such a way that scientific things have a place in it, and religious, mystical, philosophical. And it turned out what it turned out. The book will show you that.

This technique is suitable for both ordinary people who want to adopt a worldview that can help them survive any time and cope with any tasks, and specialists for whom it is important to direct the thoughts of their clients in the right direction. On the basis of higher psychology, you can also come up with something of your own, which, perhaps, will help you even better start managing your own, other people’s thoughts. I believe that any specialist who, let’s just say, is always looking for the best options for doing their work, will inevitably try different approaches, different techniques to solve some confusing problem of their clients, which cannot be solved with the known methods. And higher psychology will definitely not be superfluous. For some, it will allow you to completely abandon everything else, from less practical methods, taking only it into service. Besides, there should always be a place for experimentation in psychology.

Everything we use in psychology should help us manage our thoughts. I have long understood that people do not need a scientific approach, a fair and objective view of things, and not only in psychology. And in our life, this is not often necessary at all, to know what and how it really works, what happens and why, what is the truth, where is the truth, how to do something correctly. People need only their own desires and spiritual comfort. Everything else they see only through the prism of their own, including often insane desires.

Therefore, they were always susceptible to illusions. Something that distorts reality to suit their interests. Right? Therefore, we live in a hypocritical world, where they love those who draw beautiful pictures in their heads, and do not grieve with the harsh truth. And given this, I understand that even with the help of reasoning, even with the help of fantasies, even with the help of a suitable interpretation of facts, scientific data, but people need to create such thoughts in their heads, from which they can build an inner world that suits them. Anything that helps you look at the world with interest, passion, and fearlessness will be accepted by people, regardless of how well it reflects objective reality. We don’t care about reality. Our own inner worlds are more important to us. Where everything should be fine.

Higher psychology was created by me for this purpose. Not to search for the truth, but to make a person think that he has found the truth that will completely suit him. And with its help, I felt happy!

1. Higher powers

Let’s start by thinking about the higher forcesахthat supposedly influence our psychology on a deeply unconscious level. What can be considered a higher power? Well, for example, complex natural laws that we obey, either independently of our will, or when this will is not there. Or even cosmic, universal laws, that is, not only related to our planet, but in general, to all existence, to everything that exists. The falsity of these laws, above all the complexity of our understanding of them, makes them supreme. That is, it is not easy for us to approach them from the point of view of our intellectual abilities; from the point of view of science, it is not easy or even impossible to study and fully understand мереthem. It’s like running into an axiom. You can’t answer the question of why something works or is arranged the way it works and is arranged, or why this something exists or happens, for example, life. You can’t, because that’s how the world works, according to these rules it exists. And we just accept it. It’s the same with the higher laws, they exist, we obey them, live by them and there is no point in asking why and why. Because it is. But we can allow different thoughts about them. And at the very least, you can simply take into account their influence on us.

So let’s say with you, not knowing exactly, but just assuming it, that here are some higher forces, well, there, the power of God, the power of the devil, the power of the universe, whatever you want to call it, which determine our life, our thoughts, our actions, behavior, can guide us in certain moments in a certain way. Could this be the case? And so, let’s say they have certain goals for people who should play a role in this big scenario of development or just the functioning of the universe, of being. No, I’m not talking about fate, but about roles. Here they are, these roles, just as a tree, water, or stone has a certain role, so people also have roles that one of them, that is, one of us, must perform. And depending on the choice we make, among other factors that affect the life of each individual, we take on one or another role. The higher powers have their own idea, their own plan, the goal that they pursue. To do this, they also need в том числе иperformers in our human face. These forces do not determine our fate, but they build us into their own scenario, defining one or another role for us, depending on various factors. And the assumption of this will allow us to explain the behavior of people, including the will of these higher forces.

Further, let’s say that the world, at a certain stage of its development, should be such that there are, for example, slaves, a slave-owning system, that is. We need to have people who don’t have a choice. Then the world must change and slavery will be abolished. Then there must be something else, something must happen from time to time. The same wars, for example. Why, for what purpose? One can only guess. In order for humanity to gain the necessary experience, for educational purposes, to reduce the number of eaters in the end. РAmbitious plans can thus be worked out by higher forces. And a person participates in all thisт, he can’t influence it to radically change it, but he is forced to participate. Everyone has a choice есть, of where to go in a given situation, what to do and what not to do, but it is limited. And it doesn’t affect the overall scenario much. If people have to have a war, they will. ЕIf people need to suffer, they will suffer. What kind of people, where and when they will suffer, these are already details. But the overall scenario will be what it should be. And these necessary scenarios, which are subject to higher forces, can explain the behavior of people. Yes, in this way we shift the responsibility for what is happening to the higher forces, the presence of which we allow. But this is a justified action, because we see the presence of such forces in a certain manifestation. The very existence of the world indicates their presence. The only question is what are the limits and possibilities of these forces. Because even if we are guided by what we call reason, we cannot be sure that at this very moment we are not fulfilling some higher will. After all, we function according to certain natural laws that we can’t change.

Thus, the behavior of a person, especially an unconscious one, acting instinctively and guided by unconscious impulses, can turn out to be something like an experiment, when higher forces realize their plan through him. He himself is just a pawn in the script, just fulfilling a higher will. It may not sound scientific. But this may still be unscientific. And then, later, when science becomes more developed, scientific evidence for such explanations of human behavior will appear. We don’t know or even study all the higher powers. But the same instincts are the result of their influence. So maybe there’s something else we don’t know yet. Meanwhile, a person acts according to the will of higher forces and implements their plan, sometimes acting illogically, inconsistently, contrary to his own words, desires, goals. Because he is only a tool in the hands of more powerful forces. And his intelligence is not enough to act against their will.

And so, guided by this version of the influence of higher forces on our behavior, we can call higher psychology this will, this influence, such a manifestation of the laws of being unknown to us in the behavior of people. And guided by higher psychology, it is possible and necessary to look for the highest meaning in the actions of each person and all of humanity, in order to explain to yourself why they, even if they are specificй человек,, act in one way or another in certain situations. It’s like seeing God’s will in everything. We need to think about the fact that behind the actions of people there is a manifestation of a higher will, and we need to accept this. And embed it in your worldview.

Therefore, when we see that people act strangely, not at all logically, even wildly, harming themselves, including or even primarily, this can be explained, in addition to the influence of unconscious motives on them, by such a manifestation of the will of higher forces. Some global scenario is being implemented, and people are acting as actors in it, including unwitting ones. A person falls under the influence of some higher forces, for example, destructive ones, which means that he becomes an instrument of destruction. Or an object of destruction, as in the case of people who are morally broken and have fallen into a degenerate lifestyle. And through them, the will of the higher powers manifests itself in such a way that it shows everyone else what can happen to a person if he lives in a certain way. Or, on the contrary, something good is realized through a person. This is how there are rich people who have spent their entire lives making money at the expense of others, including to the detriment of others, robbing others, deceiving, using, and then decided to donate their money to something good. Why? What for? I wanted them here. You can study the logic of their motives as much as you want, including identifying unconscious motives, and allowing some mature sense of guilt as the cause. And you can say that the higher forces realized some of their own, well, if not a desire, then a vision of how the life scenario should develop in a particular case, through such an act of this person. That’s what higher psychology is all about.

I thought about higher psychology, or rather, such a psychology, which I called higher, formulated it as follows, after a long observation of strange behavior of people. Strange, that is, illogical, stupid, ill-conceived, contradictory, unnecessarily risky, in general, something that is difficult to explain from the point of view of common sense. For example, some people act foolishly when, despite all the suffering, the lessons that life teaches them, they still continue to make the same mistakes and come to the same results. They walk on the same rake. And you think that’s why this world is designed to be like this? Of course, all this can be explained by various psychological traumas, weak intelligence, unconscious motives, reflexes. But why not allow the idea that there are some higher forces, in the form of, say, the same unknown, but quite scientifically comprehensible laws, which, as if manifesting consciousness and looking at humanй material from the full height of their intellectual greatness, perhaps even perfection, begin to use a person in this way how is it possible to do this in order to work out a certain scenario, for example, to show something to other, more promising human individuals? God’s will, so to speak. Meanwhile, a person does not understand all the motives that guide them.

Higher intelligence, it exists, if you think about it that way. After all, if our intelligence exists, as we understand it, and we are part of the world, why can’t there be an intelligence that makes this whole world possible? After all, there are so many laws in it, so many complex processes and phenomena that are not easy to understand, as you can’t call it all intelligence or a product of intelligence. And indeed, this higher intelligence – this greater power – can influence people in specific ways, under certain circumstances, and for particular purposes. Especially, as I mentioned, in cases where a person lacks sufficient awareness to act based on their own reason and will.

Therefore, the unknown will, which begins to control a person at the moment or from the moment when he himself ceases to control himself and his life with the help of his will, generated by his mind, is such a force that it is difficult to measure and evaluate, but it can and should be allowed. Here, in particular, luck, some visible karmic laws, the so-called God’s help, when a person who is completely reckless, as if someone is leading him, helping him avoid various troubles, can be considered a proven proof of the presence of such a will. I’ve seen this happen when I’ve seen some drunks avoid the negative consequences of their drinking, even though they might have been hurt a thousand times in a thousand different ways. But no, something allowed them to somehow miraculously not ruin themselves. It was as if some force was keeping them out of danger, guiding them where they needed to go, not to the grave or prison. Why, this is a question for higher psychology. For the sake of their families, children, or maybe for some other purpose, for the sake of some purpose of these people, it’s hard to say. But it was clear that according to some laws they avoid tragic consequences from their behavior, which means that according to some complex laws of this world, this should have happened.

Examples when people respond to good with evil, rudeness, swinishness, meanness, betrayal, when they do not appreciate those who love them, who feed them, literally or figuratively, but instead love those who spit on them, who mock them, and other eccentricities, when people, in fact they make it worse for themselves, they show that at least such people are driven by some strange motives, unconscious, not thought out. And what are these motives? Pure biology or something even more complicated? After all, by some lawsи it becomes permissible for a personлto act not logicallyо and not reasonablyо, causing harm even to himself. It means that some higher forces, higher laws, higher intelligence are behind this in the end. Although, what does it mean, some, these are the laws of the universe, the laws of human nature. And here instincts and subconsciousness alone, in the form in which we are familiar with these things, cannot explain all these motives of people who cause surprise.

Consequently, our psychology here is not quite ordinary, but rather higher. When not only приnatural factors and logical processes known to science explain human behavior, but also sociology, which, however, is also ultimately based on biology and logic, and when not just unconscious motives manifest themselves, behind which are the most complex thought processes caused человеком by the life experience and knowledge that a person has received, but also what-then the more complex laws of life, which can only be called a manifestation of higher forces, which can be incomprehensible to our minds at all. It is as if at some point some very complex behavioral programs in people are activated, which switch them to perform a certain role in life, to perform certain tasks.

We can say that here the mysticism turns out. But if you think about what mysticism is, if not the unknown laws of this world. So, mysticism can be called something that has not yet been studied by science, but that exists, because there are forces in this world that we do not know anything about. For example, the forces that make life possible.

And so, explaining the behavior of people by the influence of higher forces on it, I use such a concept as higher psychology in order to stimulate my reasoning on the topic of higher laws of life and help people take a broader look at the laws of this world, so that they can accept the most different layouts that are only possible in this world. A sort of therapeutic philosophy is obtained. Higher forces are же the highest, complex laws of the universe. And even just thinking about them can make it much easier for us to relate to many things in life that are otherwise difficult or even impossible to accept. For example, something very traumatic, like, say, the death of children. After all, if such a thing happens in a person’s life, he can go crazy. е случится в жизни человека, он с ума может сойти. How can I accept this? Being an absolutely mentally healthy person, this is impossible. This is such grief, such pain, what acceptance, there would be at least something to find, so as not to go mad, at least some thought. And if you think about why this is acceptable in this world, why higher forces allow such tragedies to happen, why they made it possible, then you can find saving thoughts that will allow you to look at this world differently.

What we perceive as a tragedy may not truly be one – even by our own understanding of tragedy. The issue is that we don’t know the full sequence of events; we label something as tragic the moment it causes us pain. We only see the part of the world where we suffer, while the unseen part – the part that still exists – remains beyond our ability to assess. Without it, we cannot truly understand what has happened or whether the event is indeed a tragedy.

This invisible dimension of life, this hidden part of existence, holds the answers. It could clarify why higher forces orchestrate events as they do. But since we lack the ability to perceive it, and since faith alone – in any religion – is insufficient for many (some refuse to believe at all), it becomes necessary to seek discoveries that make even the most terrible things easier to comprehend.

We need these discoveries to help us reinterpret events that, due to our inherent limitations – imposed by higher forces – we instinctively perceive as negative. Until we fully understand life, ignorance will continue to breed suffering, while knowledge – whether physical or psychological – has always been the key to overcoming it.

We think about the meaning, we think about the complexity of the world, about its purpose, about the plans of higher forces for this world and for each of us, when we talk about higher psychology. We look as globally as possible at the motives of our behavior, our desires, abilities, and feelings, so as to allow for a variety of versions of why something happens the way it does. You can look at it from the point of view of religion, you can look at it from the point of view of science. The main thing is to think as broadly and systematically as possible, explaining everything that happens in this world and especially the behavior, actions of people, their fate by the influence of higher forces, the higher mind that is behind everything that makes this world possible.

Lately, I’ve been using the word “system” to describe – first and foremost for my own understanding – the influence of higher forces on our lives and destinies. I find this term more fitting. Words like “God” have been muddled by conflicting interpretations, while other terms denoting a higher power or intelligence are used less frequently and can also evoke mixed reactions. But “system” – neutral and precise – perfectly encapsulates the idea of these governing forces.

But not only such complex higher laws of the universe and the highest plan can be attributed to higher psychology. There is also something else that I call “higher psychology”. But more on that later. In the meantime, let’s talk about the manifestation of higher forces, and therefore higher psychology in our lives, having considered some patterns and suggested, from the point of view of higher psychology, what they can mean.
