Soul revelation is a process of gradual manifestation of the inner qualities of a person, their true nature, talents, love, wisdom and the ability to live in harmony with their conscience and values.

Every person is born with a certain potential.

But only the person himself can turn this potential into real life.

What helps to open the soul?

Love

  • Love helps a person to go beyond his own egoism.
  • She teaches caring.
  • Trust.
  • Compassion.
  • Creation.
  • Through love the soul becomes open to the world.

Truth

  • The soul opens up when a person strives to live honestly.
  • First of all, be honest with yourself.
  • Self-deception gradually closes off the inner world.
  • Honesty makes him freer.

Creation

  • A person reveals himself through creativity.
  • It doesn't matter what exactly he creates.
  • Picture.
  • Book.
  • Now.
  • Music.
  • Scientific discovery.
  • Family.
  • Community.
  • By creating the world, a person simultaneously reveals his own soul.

Service

When a person begins to think not only about himself, his inner world becomes deeper.

  • Helping people.
  • Transfer of knowledge.
  • Protection of nature.
  • Raising children.

Any activity that brings benefit to others contributes to the opening of the soul.

Beauty

  • The soul develops through contact with beauty.
  • The beauty of nature.
  • Music.
  • Arts.
  • Good deeds.
  • Harmonious architecture.
  • Human relationships.
  • Beauty reminds a person of the possibility of living more harmoniously.

Mindfulness

  • Opening the soul is impossible without inner attention.
  • It is helpful to ask yourself questions regularly.
  • Who am I becoming?
  • Are my actions consistent with my values?
  • What makes me truly alive?
  • What brings good to the world because of me?
  • These questions help a person to better understand himself.

What closes the soul?

  • The soul does not disappear.
  • But its manifestation may become less noticeable.
  • This is facilitated by:
  • lie;
  • cruelty;
  • constant hatred;
  • indifference;
  • destructive addictions;
  • loss of meaning;
  • renunciation of one's own conscience;
  • life only for profit.

The further a person moves away from his deepest values, the more difficult it is for him to feel inner integrity.

Signs of an Opening Soul

A person becomes:

  • calmer;
  • kinder;
  • more honest;
  • freer;
  • more responsible;
  • wiser;
  • more capable of loving;
  • more able to forgive;
  • more capable of creating new things;
  • more able to see the value of life.

The revelation of the soul is manifested primarily in actions, not in words.

Soul and Purpose

The opening of the soul gradually helps a person understand his purpose.

Not like a pre-written life script.

But as a process of discovering one’s abilities, values, and the contribution that a person is capable of making to the world.

The purpose is not found.

It gradually unfolds along with the person.

The main principle

The soul is not revealed when a person talks a lot about spirituality.

It is revealed when his life becomes a source of goodness, beauty, love, wisdom and creation.

The more light a person brings into the lives of other people, the more brightly his own soul is revealed.

Definition

The revelation of the soul is the process of gradual manifestation of a person’s inner nature through love, conscience, creativity, service, striving for truth and a creative life.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, soul-opening is seen as one of the main paths to personal development. It manifests itself not in unusual experiences, but in the kind of person one becomes and the mark they leave on the lives of others.

Just as a tree reveals its nature through growth, flowering, and fruit, the soul reveals itself through actions. The true beauty of the soul becomes visible when, thanks to a person, the world becomes more alive, loving, and kind.

Strengthening the spirit

Strengthening the Spirit in New Psychology DREVO

In the New Psychology of DREVO, the spirit is viewed as an internal vector of a person, connecting his life with higher values, purpose and future.

  • If the body answers the question"How to live?",
  • psyche —"What do I feel?",
  • consciousness - "What to choose?",
  • then the spirit answers the question:
  • "What do I live for?"

Strengthening your spirit is the process of developing inner resilience, loyalty to your values, and the ability to maintain direction in life no matter the circumstances.

What does strong spirit mean?

A strong spirit is a person’s ability to remain faithful to truth, conscience, love and one’s purpose even during difficult periods of life.

The spirit does not manifest itself when everything is easy.

It manifests itself when a person has to choose between what is convenient and what is right.

What strengthens the spirit?

Loyalty to your values

Every time a person acts in accordance with his conscience, his spirit becomes stronger.

  • Even if it requires sacrifice.
  • Even if no one notices.
  • Inner honesty strengthens the spirit.

Responsibility

A person with a strong spirit does not shift responsibility to circumstances.

  • He asks himself:
  • What depends on me?
  • What can I change?
  • What would be the right next step?
  • Responsibility makes the spirit mature.

Overcoming difficulties

  • The spirit develops through trials.
  • It is not the difficulties themselves that make a person stronger.
  • What makes him stronger is how he goes through them.
  • Every challenge overcome becomes part of the inner support.

Service

The spirit is strengthened when a person begins to live not only for himself.

  • Helping people.
  • Protection of nature.
  • Knowledge creation.
  • Raising children.
  • Development of society.
  • Service connects personal life with a broader meaning.

Long-term thinking

  • A strong spirit can look beyond today.
  • He thinks about the future.
  • About the next generations.
  • About heritage.
  • About the consequences of your actions.
  • This perspective helps you make more mature decisions.

Continuous development

The spirit weakens in a state of internal stagnation.

It is strengthened through:

  • training;
  • reflection;
  • creativity;
  • new challenges;
  • overcoming one's own limitations.

Development becomes a natural need of a strong spirit.

What weakens the spirit?

The spirit gradually loses its power if a person:

  • constantly acts against his conscience;
  • disclaims responsibility;
  • loses direction in life;
  • lives only for immediate gain;
  • stops developing;
  • allows fear to completely control his life.

This does not mean that the spirit disappears.

This means that it becomes more difficult for a person to follow his or her deepest values.

Spiritual strengthening practices

Useful regularly:

  • keep the promises you make to yourself;
  • do what is right even if it is difficult;
  • read books that develop your worldview;
  • reflect on life's purpose;
  • help other people;
  • spend time in nature;
  • create long-term projects;
  • Do at least one thing every day that you can be proud of.

The spirit is strengthened through consistent living, not through occasional emotional experiences.

Spirit and Freedom

True freedom is impossible without a strong spirit.

A person becomes free when he is able to preserve his values ​​regardless of external pressure.

Freedom without an inner core easily turns into a chaotic pursuit of random desires.

The spirit helps a person maintain direction.

The main principle

  • The spirit cannot be strengthened by words.
  • Life strengthens him.
  • Every honest choice.
  • Every fear overcome.
  • Every duty fulfilled.
  • Every creative act.
  • This is how the inner core of the personality is gradually formed.

Definition

Strengthening your spirit is the process of developing inner resilience, responsibility, loyalty to your values, and the ability to maintain direction in life regardless of external circumstances.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, spirit is viewed as an internal compass that connects a person to their highest values, purpose, and long-term goals. A strong spirit helps a person remain human even when circumstances become difficult.

A tree doesn't become strong when there's no wind. It becomes strong because it continues to grow despite the wind. Likewise, a person's spirit is strengthened not by an easy life, but by remaining true to one's path amidst trials.

Search for purpose

Finding Purpose in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology of DREVO, purpose is not seen as a pre-written fate or as the only profession a person is obliged to find.

Purpose is a direction in life in which a person’s abilities, values, and the needs of the world begin to coincide.

It is not given to a person in a ready-made form.

It is gradually revealed through experience, learning, mistakes, work and creation.

Finding your purpose is finding your place in life.

What is purpose?

Purpose is the most complete form of realization of human abilities, bringing benefit to himself, other people and the future.

  • Purpose connects three questions:
  • What can I do?
  • What is really important to me?
  • How can I be useful to the world?
  • Where these three directions intersect, purpose begins to emerge.

Purpose is not found instantly

  • Many people expect to one day receive a clear answer to the question:
  • "What is my purpose?"
  • But in life things often happen differently.
  • The purpose is revealed gradually.
  • Through work.
  • Through mistakes.
  • Through meetings with people.
  • Through new knowledge.
  • Through overcoming difficulties.
  • It's more like growing a tree than finding hidden treasure.
