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.

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

Community

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.
