From the psychology of survival to the psychology of creation

Throughout most of its history, man has been learning to survive.

The struggle for food, safety, and protection of family and clan shaped many of our psychological mechanisms. Fear, anxiety, aggression, vigilance, and the desire to control the surrounding world helped us maintain life in the face of constant danger.

Modern psychology pays close attention to these mechanisms. It studies trauma, stress, anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, and other conditions that reduce quality of life. This approach is of great value because it helps people restore inner balance and overcome suffering.

However, recovery is not yet development.

A person who has freed himself from fear does not necessarily become a creator.

A person who has overcome depression does not necessarily find the meaning of life.

A person who has learned to cope with stress does not necessarily begin to create something valuable for the world.

Therefore, New Psychology DREVO suggests taking the next step.

Its task is not only to help a person survive, but also to help him learn to live a full life.

The psychology of creation begins where the struggle for simple survival ends.

• She asks new questions.
• Not only:
• "How to get rid of suffering?"
• but also:
• "How to reveal your abilities?"
• "How to learn to love?"
• "How to create?"
• "How can I leave the world better than I found it?"

In the psychology of survival, protection becomes the most important thing.

• In the psychology of creation, development becomes the main thing.
• Survival psychology teaches us to avoid danger.
• The psychology of creation teaches us to create opportunities.
• Survival psychology seeks to preserve life.
• The psychology of creation seeks to reveal its potential.

This doesn't mean abandoning the understanding of trauma, pain, or illness. On the contrary, helping someone overcome suffering remains a necessary step. But it is seen as the beginning of the journey, not its final destination.

The new psychology of DREVO considers man as a creative being.

The highest manifestation of maturity is not the ability to defend oneself, but the ability to create.

• Create knowledge.
• Create culture.
• Create families.
• Create communities.
• Create technologies.
• To create beauty.

Create conditions in which other people and future generations can develop.

True development begins when a person stops living only by the question of his own survival and begins to recognize himself as a participant in the development of life.

The main goal of the New Psychology DREVO is to help people move from survival to creation, from reaction to conscious choice, from fear to responsibility, from consumption to creativity, from the struggle for life to participation in its development.

The psychology of the future is not only the science of how to reduce suffering.

This is the science of how to develop a person so that he becomes a source of development for himself, society, nature and future generations.

MANIFESTO OF THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY

Science of the Whole Man

Humanity is entering an era when old ideas about man are no longer sufficient.

Modern psychology has made great strides in studying behavior, emotions, memory, thinking, and brain function. However, humans are far more complex than a set of neural processes or behavioral patterns.

New psychology proposes to view a person as a holistic living system in which the body, psyche, consciousness, values, relationships, environment, and internal search for meaning are interconnected.

We recognize the achievements of modern science and consider them the foundation for further development. At the same time, we are open to exploring questions that have not yet received definitive answers: the nature of consciousness, subjective experience, creativity, intuition, the meaning of life, and other profound aspects of human existence.

Basic principles

We argue that a person is an integral system that includes several interconnected levels.

Body— the foundation of life, possessing its own biological wisdom and the ability to self-regulate.

Subconscious— a deep system of automatic processes, experiential memory, hereditary programs and bodily adaptation.

Psyche— a system of perception, thinking, emotions, memory, learning and interaction with the surrounding world.

Consciousness- the ability to observe, perceive, discern and freely choose the direction of action.

Superconsciousness— a space of creativity, inspiration, deep insights, and the search for new possibilities. Its nature requires further scientific research.

Soul— a philosophical concept denoting the inner core of a person, their values, sense of authenticity, and experience of meaning.

Spirit— a philosophical concept denoting a person’s striving for ideals, the ability to remain faithful to one’s principles and overcome difficulties for the sake of the chosen path.

Values

We believe that human development is impossible without an internal moral foundation.

• Love.
• Freedom.
• Responsibility.
• Dignity.
• Honesty.
• Justice.
• Creativity.
• Cooperation.
• Respect for life.
• Creation.

These values ​​do not pit people against each other, but create the basis for the joint development of the individual, society and civilization.

Community

• A person develops through relationships.
• Family.
• Friendship.
• Genus.
• Culture.
• Education.
• Scientific cooperation.
• Society.

Psychological health cannot be considered separately from the quality of human relationships.

Nature

Man is a part of nature.

Its well-being cannot be separated from the state of water, air, soil, forests, animals and the entire ecosystem of the Earth.

Caring for nature is also caring for people.

Technologies

Technologies should expand human capabilities, not replace humans.

Artificial intelligence should contribute to the development of personality, education, science, and medicine, while preserving human freedom of choice, dignity, and responsibility.

Scientific approach

New psychology does not reject science.

It expands the field of research.

Anything that can be verified should be investigated by scientific methods.

Anything that does not yet have sufficient evidence must remain the subject of open, honest and critical study, and not of unconditional belief or denial.

The main goal

• The main goal of the new psychology is not only to reduce suffering.
• The main goal is to unlock human potential.
• Help a person become healthier.
• More free.
• More conscious.
• More responsible.
• More creative.
• More capable of love.

More capable of creating a world in which future generations can live with dignity.

Our vision

We see a person not as a problem that needs to be fixed.

We see man as a continuously evolving system, capable of knowing, creating, loving, cooperating and transforming the world.

The new psychology is not a rejection of the past.

This is the next stage of understanding man.

A stage in which science, philosophy, culture and human experience do not oppose each other, but together help to more deeply understand the nature of the individual and its place in the world.

By knowing a person, we know the world.

By changing ourselves, we change the future.

The principle of psychological ecology

The inner world of a person is like a living ecosystem

New psychology views a person as a complex living ecosystem in which the body, psyche, consciousness, subconscious, superconscious, soul, spirit, values, social connections and the environment form a single interconnected system.

Just as environmental pollution disrupts the functioning of ecosystems, informational, emotional and social pollution disrupts a person’s internal balance.

Psychological ecology is the science and practice of maintaining a healthy internal human environment.

Basic Law

Everything that a person lets into himself gradually becomes part of his inner world.

This applies not only to food and air, but also to:

• information;→
• words;
• emotions;→
• music;
• images;
• human communication;
• digital environment;
• habits;
• culture;→
• knowledge;→
• daily thoughts.

Every external signal becomes a kind of food for the psyche.

Therefore, a person must take care not only of the cleanliness of his body, but also of the cleanliness of his internal environment.

Psychological pollution

Sources of psychological pollution can be:

• constant fear;
• hatred;
• aggression;
• lie;
• manipulation;
• information noise;
• chronic stress;
• destructive addictions;
• humiliation of dignity;
• toxic relationship.

Long-term exposure to such factors can reduce psychological stability, impair quality of life, and hinder personal development.

Psychological nutrition

Just as the body needs healthy food, the psyche needs quality psychological nutrition.

These include:

• Love;→
• respect;→
• knowledge;→
• creativity;
• beauty;→
• music;
• nature;→
• friendship;
• honest dialogue;
• sense of meaning;
• training;
• physical activity;
• rest;
• silence.

Psychological nutrition creates conditions for internal growth.

Internal immunity

The task of the new psychology is not to isolate a person from the world, but to develop his internal stability.

Psychological immunity includes the ability to:

• critically evaluate information;
• recognize manipulation;
• maintain emotional balance;
• recover from difficulties;
• preserve your own values;
• build healthy relationships.

The stronger the internal immunity, the less destructive the impact of an unfavorable environment.

Ecological principle of development

A person develops most harmoniously when his inner world is in harmony with the surrounding world.

Caring for nature, the health of society and one’s own internal state are different manifestations of the same process – the preservation and development of life.

Therefore, the new psychology considers ecology not only as an attitude towards nature, but also as a principle of thinking, communication, education, upbringing and culture.

The main principle

• Everything is interconnected.
• Thoughts influence emotions.
• Emotions affect the body.
• The body influences the mind.
• Consciousness influences actions.
• Actions change society.
• Society changes the environment.
• The environment influences people again.

Understanding this interconnection, a person ceases to perceive himself as a separate being and begins to recognize himself as part of a single system of life.

Psychological ecology is the art of maintaining the purity of one's inner world while simultaneously creating a healthier world around oneself.
