The Law of Service
The Law of Service in the New Psychology of DREVO
In the New Psychology DREVO, service is seen as the highest form of personal maturity.
- Development begins with taking care of yourself.
- Continues through family development.
- It is revealed in cooperation with society.
And it reaches fullness when a person begins to use his abilities to serve life.
Service does not mean self-sacrifice or self-denial.
It means the conscious use of one's knowledge, talent, experience and work for the common good.
What is the Law of Service?
The law of service is a fundamental principle according to which a person reaches the highest level of development when he uses his abilities and opportunities for creation, helping other people, developing society, preserving nature and the well-being of future generations.
Service does not mean giving up personal happiness.
This is its extension.
What does it mean to serve?
- To serve is to create value.
- It is not necessary to perform great feats.
- Service is demonstrated in daily life.
- The doctor serves by maintaining people's health.
- A teacher serves by imparting knowledge.
- An engineer serves by creating useful technologies.
- A farmer serves by growing food.
- Parents serve by raising their children.
- Every person is capable of serving through his own work.
Service begins with oneself
You can't help others for long while completely destroying yourself.
Therefore, the first service is the development of one’s own personality.
- Healthy body.→
- Stable psyche.
- Clear consciousness.→
- Strong will.→
- An open soul.→
- Strengthened spirit.
- The stronger a person is, the more good he can bring to the world.
Service and the Ten Levels of Man
- Each level of personality participates in service.
- Bodygives strength to help.
- Subconsciousforms habits of care and responsibility.
- Psychedevelops empathy and the ability to support others.
- Consciousnessallows you to find useful solutions.
- Will helps to translate good intentions into action.
- Soulgives birth to love, compassion and sincerity.
- Spiritreminds us that life has a meaning beyond personal gain.
- Valuesdetermine the moral direction of actions.
- Social connectionsallow us to combine efforts for a common cause.
- Naturebecomes an object of care, and not just a source of resources.
What is not service?
Service does not mean:
- denial of one's own needs;
- life of constant self-sacrifice;
- the desire to earn love at any cost;
- blind obedience;
- renunciation of personal freedom.
True service is always voluntary.
It preserves the dignity of both the one who helps and the one who receives help.
What hinders service?
The development of the ministry is hindered by:
- egoism;
- indifference;
- the desire to live only for one's own comfort;
- the belief that one person cannot change anything;
- lack of a sense of responsibility for the world.
Every person is capable of changing at least a small part of the life around them.
Practice of the Law of Service
- Every evening it is useful to ask yourself:
- Who did I help today?
- What benefit did my work bring?
- What has become better thanks to my actions?
- Did I use my abilities for good?
- How can I make the world a little better tomorrow?
- These questions gradually make service a natural part of life.
The main principle
True success is not measured solely by what a person has achieved.
It is measured by how much life, goodness, knowledge, health, beauty and opportunity has come into being through its existence.
Definition
The Law of Service is a fundamental law of the New Psychology DREVO, according to which the highest form of personal development is manifested in the voluntary use of one's abilities, knowledge, and resources for creation, helping people, developing society, preserving nature, and caring for future generations.
Service is a natural extension of awareness, responsibility, cooperation, and creativity. It allows a person to transcend personal interests and become an active participant in the unfolding of life.
Like a tree that doesn't choose who to give shade or fruit to, a mature person naturally shares what has grown within them. This is precisely the highest form of human strength—the ability to transform one's own life into a source of life for others.
Causes of psychological problems
The basic principle
In the New Psychology DREVO, a psychological problem is not considered as a separate illness of the personality, but asviolation of harmony between human levels.
A person is a single system.
When one or more of its levels lose coherence, internal conflicts, emotional tension, behavioral disturbances and deterioration in quality of life arise.
A psychological problem is not a person’s enemy.
This is a signal that a certain part of the system needs attention, restoration or development.
The main causes of psychological problems
1. Disconnection from the body
- Lack of sleep.
- Chronic fatigue.
- Malnutrition.
- Lack of movement.
- Chronic pain.
- Hormonal and other diseases.
When the body is exhausted, the psyche and consciousness also lose stability.
2. Disruption of the subconscious
- Automatic reactions formed by traumatic experiences.
- Destructive habits.
- Chronic fear.
- Unprocessed emotional experiences.
The subconscious continues to protect a person even when previous methods of protection no longer help.
3. Mental conflict
A person wants opposite things at the same time.
For example:
- freedom and complete security;
- closeness and complete independence;
- change and maintaining the familiar.
Unresolved internal contradictions create long-term tension.
4. Loss of awareness
When a person stops noticing his own thoughts, feelings and actions, he begins to live automatically.
Automatism gradually deprives a person of freedom of choice.
5. Weakening of the will
The person knows what needs to be done, but is unable to implement his decision.
A feeling of powerlessness gradually arises.
6. Loss of meaning
When a person ceases to understand why he lives and develops, even familiar things can lose their inner value.
This may be accompanied by feelings of emptiness, apathy and loss of motivation.
7. Conflict of values
Suffering occurs when a person is forced to live contrary to his own beliefs or constantly acts against his conscience.
The deeper this conflict, the greater the internal tension.
8. Disruption of social connections
- Loneliness.
- Distrust.
- Destructive relationships.
- Lack of support.
- Insulation.
- A person develops through relationships.
Therefore, the destruction of social connections weakens psychological resilience.
9. Unfavorable environment
- Constant noise.
- Information overload.
- Aggressive social environment.
- Lack of contact with nature.
- Environmental issues.
- The environment gradually becomes part of a person’s inner world.
10. Violation of psychological ecology
Every day a person takes in a huge amount of information.
If a large part of it consists of fear, aggression, lies, humiliation, manipulation and constant stress, internal balance is gradually disturbed.
The psyche needs not only protection from physical threats, but also a healthy information environment.
Compensation principle
When one level of a person weakens, other levels often try to compensate for its work.
- For example:
- the body can signal with pain;
- emotions - anxiety;
- behavior - addiction;
- relationships - conflicts.
Therefore, symptoms should be viewed not only as a problem, but also as a possible indication of a deeper imbalance.
The main principle
In the New Psychology DREVO, the psychologist’s task is not only to reduce symptoms.
The main task is to understand,at what level is harmony violated?, what factors support this condition and how can human integrity be restored.
Mental health does not return when a single symptom disappears.
It returns when the body, psyche, consciousness, will, values, relationships and environment begin to work as a single system again.
Any psychological problem is not a death sentence for the individual, but an invitation to restore internal balance and further development.
Why does a person suffer?
Suffering in the New Psychology of DREVO
In the New Psychology of DREVO, suffering is not seen as a punishment or a meaningless accident.
Suffering is a signal.
It informs a person that harmony has been disturbed at one or more levels of his life.
Just as physical pain warns of damage to the body, psychological suffering indicates the need to pay attention to an internal or external problem.
Suffering becomes the language in which life communicates to a person the need for change.
The main causes of suffering
Violation of integrity
- A human being consists of interconnected levels.
- Body.→
- Subconscious.→
- Psyche.→
- Consciousness.→
- Will.→
- Soul.→
- Spirit.→
- Values.→
- Social connections.→
- Environment.→
- When a deep contradiction arises between them, internal tension appears.
- The greater the gap, the greater the suffering.
Conflict between reality and expectations
A person often suffers not only because of what is happening, but also because of the discrepancy between what is and how he would like the world to be.
Not every disappointment can be resolved, but a person is able to learn to understand the situation in a new way, change their actions and look for ways to adapt.
Conflict of values
When a person regularly acts contrary to his own conscience and deepest convictions, an internal conflict arises.
This contradiction gradually weakens the sense of integrity and may be accompanied by anxiety, guilt, or loss of meaning.
Unmet needs
The body and psyche need:
- security;
- love;→
- respect;→
- freedom;→
- accessories;
- development;→
- meaning.→
Long-term failure to satisfy important needs can become a source of suffering.
Loss of meaning
A person is capable of enduring great difficulties if he understands what he lives for.
When the sense of meaning disappears, even an outwardly prosperous life can feel empty.
Destruction of relationships
Man develops among people.
Loneliness, betrayal, violence, loss of loved ones and long-term conflicts can cause deep psychological pain.
Therefore, the quality of relationships is one of the most important components of psychological health.
Illness and physical pain
- Suffering may have physiological causes.
- Injuries.
- Chronic diseases.
- Disorders of the nervous or hormonal system.
- Psychological and biological causes often interact with each other.
Therefore, caring for your health is part of caring for your mental health.
Development through overcoming
Not every suffering is the result of a mistake.
Sometimes difficulties accompany learning, growing up, mastering a new skill, or overcoming life's challenges.
Such experiences can become a source of growth if a person receives support, maintains meaning, and gradually finds ways to cope with them.
Is it possible to completely get rid of suffering?
Suffering is a part of human life.
It is impossible to live life without ever encountering loss, mistakes, illness, or uncertainty.
However, a person is capable of changing their attitude towards difficulties, learning to cope with them and reducing the suffering that arises from destructive habits, conflicts or lack of meaning.
Psychology does not strive to eliminate all difficulties, but to develop the ability to live fully despite them.
Transforming suffering into development
- In the New Psychology of DREVO, suffering becomes a point of choice.
- A person can:
- break down;
- run away;
- blame;
or understand the reason for what is happening, change yourself and start a new stage of development.
It is this choice that determines the future path of the individual.
The main principle
- Suffering in itself does not make a person stronger.
- A person develops by how he responds to suffering.
- Awareness.→
- Acceptance of responsibility.
- Search for solutions.
- Support from other people.
- Creative actions.
- They are the ones who turn pain into a source of growth.
Definition
Suffering is a psychophysiological and personal experience that occurs when a person's integrity is violated, important needs are not met, internal conflicts occur, illnesses occur, losses occur, or difficult life circumstances are encountered.
In the New Psychology of DREVO, suffering is viewed not as a goal in life or as a punishment, but as a signal that encourages a person to restore harmony, rethink their path, and continue to develop.
Suffering shows that something requires attention. But it is the person's conscious response that determines whether it becomes the beginning of destruction or the beginning of growth.
