Subconscious

The Subconscious in New Psychology DREVO

In New Psychology DREVO, the subconscious is viewed as a deep system of automatic human control, combining the body's biological memory, acquired life experience, and adaptation mechanisms.

The subconscious works continuously.

It does not require constant participation of consciousness.

It is thanks to the subconscious that a person is able to breathe, maintain balance, quickly respond to familiar situations, use acquired skills, and perform thousands of complex actions automatically.

The subconscious is peculiar"the brain of the body", which continuously processes a huge amount of information necessary to maintain life and adapt the organism to the environment.

What does the subconscious include?

The subconscious combines several levels of accumulated experience.

Biological memory

The body stores information about its own development and ways of maintaining life.

This includes self-regulation mechanisms, innate reflexes and processes that ensure the functioning of internal organs.

Experience gained

Repetitive actions gradually become automatic.

The skills of walking, writing, speaking, driving a car and many other actions, after training, come under the control of the subconscious.

Emotional memory

The subconscious stores a person's emotional experience.

It affects reaction speed, alertness level, sense of security and habitual behavior patterns.

Hereditary features

Modern science confirms the influence of heredity and some epigenetic mechanisms on human development.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, it is assumed that the innate characteristics of the organism become part of the foundation on which automatic ways of human interaction with the world are formed.

Bodily memory

The body is capable of retaining the effects of long-term stress, habits, past illnesses, and physical experience.

These processes manifest themselves in posture, muscle tone, breathing, movement patterns, and other features of the body's functioning.

How does the subconscious work?

The subconscious constantly compares new information with already accumulated experience.

If the situation is familiar, it offers a ready-made response.

This allows a person to save mental energy and quickly make decisions in familiar conditions.

However, automatic reactions do not always correspond to new circumstances.

Therefore, it is important for a person to periodically review their habits and learn new ways of behaving.

Subconscious and conscious

  • The subconscious and the conscious are not opponents.
  • The subconscious is responsible for speed.
  • Consciousness is responsible for understanding.
  • The subconscious offers ready-made solutions.
  • Consciousness evaluates them and changes them if necessary.

Thanks to this, a person is able not only to use past experience, but also to go beyond it.

Development of the subconscious

The subconscious changes gradually.

Its development occurs through:

  • regular practice;
  • repetition of useful actions;
  • forming new habits;
  • physical exercises;
  • training;
  • emotionally significant experience;
  • lifestyle change.

Each repeated action gradually becomes part of the automatic human control system.

The main principle

The subconscious is not created to limit a person.

Its task is to preserve life, conserve the body's resources and use accumulated experience.

  • Consciousness helps a person to update this experience.
  • Will turns new decisions into actions.
  • Repetition makes new actions habits.

This is how the subconscious develops and, along with it, the person himself develops.

Definition

The subconscious is a deep system of automatic human control, combining biological mechanisms of self-regulation, acquired skills, emotional memory, and accumulated experience, ensuring the body's adaptation and effective interaction with the outside world.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, the subconscious is viewed as the foundation upon which conscious choice, personal development, and the human capacity for further creation are built.

Psyche

Psyche— is the system through which a person perceives the world, processes information, experiences emotions, remembers experiences, makes decisions, and adapts to the environment.

Figuratively speaking:

  • Body— action tool.
  • Psyche— perception and control system.
  • Soul— the inner core of personality, values ​​and meaning (within the framework of your philosophical model).
  • Spirit- the power of direction, will and following the chosen path.

Basic functions of the psyche

The psyche is responsible for:

  • perception;
  • attention;
  • memory;
  • thinking;
  • imagination;
  • emotions;
  • speech;
  • training;
  • decision making;
  • adaptation to changing conditions.

It is the psyche that allows a person to learn from experience and change their behavior.

The main task of the psyche

Its main function isensure survival and effective interaction with the environmentTherefore, the psyche constantly evaluates:

  • safe or dangerous;
  • useful or harmful;
  • familiar or unknown;
  • possible or impossible.

Many automatic reactions—anxiety, alertness, habits—can be seen as adaptive mechanisms.

Healthy psyche

Signs of psychological well-being may include:

Interaction

Within your model:

  • Bodyprovides energy and physical capabilities.
  • Psycheanalyzes the situation and suggests options for action.
  • Soulhelps to determine what corresponds to internal values.
  • Spirithelps to implement the chosen direction, even when it is difficult.

This distinction can be usefulphilosophical model of manFrom a scientific perspective, psychology and neuroscience study the psyche as a set of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes, while the concepts of "soul" and "spirit" remain the subject of philosophy, religious studies, and certain areas of the humanities. New psychology explores how values, meaning, and worldview influence observable behavior and human well-being, maintaining a distinction between verifiable scientific data and philosophical concepts.

Consciousness

Consciousness— is a person’s ability to be aware of themselves, the surrounding world, and their own internal processes, as well as to direct attention and make choices.

If the psyche continuously processes information, then consciousness allows us to see this work and, to a certain extent, influence it.

In this model

  • Body— it works.
  • Psyche— perceives, feels, remembers, analyzes.
  • Consciousness- observes, realizes, chooses.
  • Soul— sets deep values ​​and a sense of authenticity.
  • Spirit- gives direction, meaning and determination to follow the chosen path.

Basic functions of consciousness

Consciousness allows a person to:

  • to be aware of one's existence;
  • notice your thoughts and emotions;
  • manage attention;
  • make informed choices;
  • predict the consequences of actions;
  • reflect on yourself and the world;
  • learn from your own experience.

Levels of consciousness

As a philosophical model, several levels can be distinguished:

  1. Consciousness of perception- "I see and hear."
  2. Self-awareness— “I understand that this is happening to me.”
  3. Reflexive consciousness- “I can observe my thoughts and feelings.”
  4. Value consciousness— “I realize what I consider right and important.”
  5. Creative consciousness- "I am able to create new ideas and transform the world."

Development of consciousness

The development of consciousness is not just the accumulation of knowledge, but the growth of ability:

  • notice automatic reactions;
  • separate facts from interpretations;
  • maintain clarity of thinking in difficult situations;
  • make decisions in line with your values;
  • understand other people.

Possible definition

Consciousness is a person's ability to be aware of themselves and the world, to direct their attention, to analyze their own mental processes, and to make informed decisions. It serves as the link between perception, values, and actions.

Will

Will in the New Psychology of DREVO

Will is a person’s ability to control himself and make conscious choices.

It allows a person to turn intentions into actions, remain true to their values, and continue moving towards their chosen goal regardless of internal and external obstacles.

  • If consciousness answers the question:
  • "What do I choose?"
  • then the will answers:
  • "Am I capable of implementing this choice?"
  • It is the will that connects thought with action.

What does the will do?

Will helps a person:

  • manage your actions;
  • manage your attention;
  • manage your habits;
  • overcome fear;
  • delaying immediate gratification for a long-term goal;
  • maintain discipline;
  • implement the decisions made;
  • be responsible for your own life.

Will makes a man his own master.

Will and freedom

Freedom does not begin when all restrictions disappear.

Freedom begins when a person is able to choose his actions, and not be completely subject to instincts, emotions, habits or external pressure.

Therefore, will is the basis of inner freedom.

The better a person can manage himself, the more opportunities open up to him.

Will and consciousness

  • Consciousness helps to see different options for action.
  • It analyzes, compares and makes decisions.
  • But the solution itself is not enough.
  • Without will, even the right decision can remain just an intention.
  • Consciousness determines direction.
  • The will begins to move.

Will and subconscious

The subconscious controls habitual automatic actions.

Willpower allows us to change these automatic programs.

Every time a person consciously chooses a new way of behavior and repeats it regularly, the will gradually forms a new habit.

Over time, the new habit becomes part of the subconscious.

Thus, will is the main instrument for personal development.

Will and spirit

In the New Psychology of DREVO, the spirit determines the direction of a person’s life.

  • Willpower helps to move in this direction.
  • The Spirit answers the question:
  • "For what?"
  • Will answers:
  • "What needs to be done now?"
  • Therefore, a strong spirit without will remains an intention.

And a strong will without values ​​can be used for both creation and destruction.

A mature personality combines will with responsibility, moral values ​​and respect for life.

How is willpower strengthened?

  • Will develops in the same way as a muscle develops.
  • It is strengthened through regular practice.
  • The main methods of its development are:
  • keeping promises made to yourself;
  • discipline;
  • gradual increase in complexity of tasks;
  • the ability to bring things to completion;
  • development of self-control;
  • attention management;
  • overcoming the habit of putting off important things;
  • conscious refusal to take actions that contradict one's own values.

Every conscious action strengthens the ability to manage oneself.

Signs of a developed will

A person with a developed will:

  • makes decisions independently;
  • keeps promises;
  • able to manage one's emotions and behavior;
  • does not give up at the first difficulties;
  • knows how to wait for results;
  • maintains direction of movement;
  • is responsible for the consequences of his actions.

The main principle

The will does not exist to suppress man.

Its task is to harmonize desires, emotions, reason and values, directing them towards a conscious goal.

The better a person can manage himself, the freer his life becomes.

Definition

Willpower is a person's ability to consciously control themselves, make informed choices, and consistently implement them in actions, remaining true to their values ​​and accepting responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

In DREVO's New Psychology, will is viewed as the link between consciousness and action. It is through will that knowledge becomes action, action becomes habit, habit becomes character, and character becomes the foundation of a creative life.
