Values and meaning

Values and Meaning in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology DREVO, values and meaning are seen as the internal compass of the individual.

They help a person not only make decisions, but also understand why he lives, develops and acts.

If the body is responsible for life,
the psyche is for perception,
consciousness is for choice,
will - for action,
soul - for authenticity,
and spirit for direction,

then values and meaning determine,Why does a person choose this particular path?.

What are values?

Values are the most significant principles and guidelines that a person follows in his life.

They help to distinguish:

important from unimportant;
good from evil;
creation from destruction;
temporary benefit from a long-term good.

It is values that determine the quality of decisions made.

Basic human values

In the New Psychology DREVO, the core values include:

life;
Love;
freedom;
dignity;
responsibility;
honesty;
justice;
respect;
cooperation;
knowledge;
creativity;
health;
family;
world;
nature;
creation.

This list reflects the values that underlie DREVO's philosophy. Individuals and cultures may prioritize them differently.

What is meaning?

Meaning is a person’s understanding of why he lives, develops and acts.

Meaning unites individual events of life into a single story.

It helps a person see the direction even when the path becomes difficult.

Without a sense of meaning, even great achievements may not bring satisfaction.

With a meaningful purpose, even difficult challenges can be perceived as part of growth.

How is meaning formed?

The meaning is not always found instantly.

It is gradually born through:

life experience;
training;
Love;
work;
creativity;
raising children;
helping other people;
participation in the development of society;
service to the chosen cause.

For many people, meaning is also connected to worldview, philosophical or religious beliefs.

Meaning develops along with a person.

Values and Choice

Every decision reflects a person's value system.

When actions are consistent with internal values, a person feels whole.

When a person regularly acts contrary to his own beliefs, internal conflict arises.

Therefore, psychological health cannot be completely separated from the consistency between values and lifestyle.

Values and Society

Personal values influence not only the person himself.

They become part of the culture of the family, community and society.

When people choose honesty, responsibility, and cooperation, trust is strengthened.

When lies, violence and indifference prevail, social bonds weaken.

Therefore, the development of the individual simultaneously becomes a contribution to the development of society.

Values and Purpose

Purpose cannot be realized without values.
It is values that help determine how a person will use his abilities.
The same force can create or destroy.
It is the values that determine the direction of its application.

The main principle

A person develops not only thanks to knowledge.
It develops thanks to the values it allows to guide its life.
Knowledge answers the question:
"What is possible?"
Values answer:
"What is right?"
The meaning answers:
"For what?"

When these three elements are combined, a person becomes capable of conscious and creative development.

Definition

Values are internal principles that define a person's attitude toward life, people, and themselves. Meaning is an understanding of why a person lives and uses their abilities.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, values and meaning are viewed as an internal compass of the individual, which unites knowledge, freedom of choice, will, and actions into a single direction of development.

It's not circumstances that determine a person's quality of life. It's largely determined by the values they choose and the meaning they attach to their actions.

Social connections

Social Connections in New Psychology DREVO

In the New Psychology DREVO, social connections are considered a natural environment for personality development.

Man is born among people, develops among people, and reveals most of his abilities through interaction with others.

If the body provides life,
the psyche helps to understand the world,
consciousness allows you to choose,
will helps to act,
the soul retains its authenticity,
the spirit sets the direction,
and values determine meaning,

then social connections create a space in which all this manifests itself in real life.

Man is a social being

A person does not develop in complete isolation.
Language emerges through communication.
Thinking develops through dialogue.
Culture is transmitted between people.
Knowledge is born in collaboration.

Love, friendship, trust, responsibility and mutual assistance also arise in relationships.

Personality is revealed through interaction with other people.

Basic levels of social connections

Social connections develop gradually.

Family

The first environment of life.

It is here that a person receives his first experience of love, security, communication and trust.

Genus

A source of historical memory, family traditions and continuity of generations.

Family helps a person understand their origins and feel the connection between the past, present and future.

Community

A voluntary association of people who share common values, interests, or goals.

The community becomes a space for cooperation and joint development.

Society

A broader system of relationships between people.

Society creates education, culture, economics, law, science and other institutions that allow people to realize their abilities.

Humanity

The highest level of social connections.

Despite the differences in cultures, languages and states, all people belong to a single human community.

Today's global challenges—climate change, pandemics, technological advances, space exploration—require cooperation across all of humanity.

Basic needs for social connections

Every person needs:

love;
acceptance;
respect;
trust;
accessories;
mutual support;
opportunities to be useful;
joint creativity.

These needs are an important part of psychological well-being.

Relationship quality

It is not the number of acquaintances that determines the quality of social connections.

Of primary importance are:

trust;
honesty;
respect;
openness;
responsibility;
ability to dialogue;
willingness to help each other.

These are the qualities that create strong relationships.

Social connections and personal development

Every person simultaneously receives and gives.
Gains knowledge.
Receives support.
Gains experience.
But at the same time it conveys:

own knowledge;
care;
ideas;
experience;
help;
inspiration.

Thus, development becomes a mutual process.

Social connections and creation

Most of humanity's great achievements have been made possible through cooperation.

Scientific discoveries.
Works of art.
Cities.
University.
Technologies.
Environmental projects.
All of them are the result of the combined efforts of many people.

Therefore, social connections become the basis of a creative civilization.

The main principle

A person develops not in spite of other people.

It develops along with them.

The stronger the trust, cooperation and mutual respect, the more opportunities are revealed to each person.

True personal development is impossible without the development of human relationships.

Definition

Social ties are a system of relationships between a person and his family, clan, community, society and humanity, through which personality is formed, knowledge is transmitted, culture is created and joint development is carried out.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, social connections are considered one of the most important foundations of psychological health, since it is through relationships that people discover their abilities, learn to cooperate, and transform personal development into a contribution to the lives of others.

One person can achieve much. But it is through social connections that individuals become families, families become communities, communities become societies, and societies create civilization.

Interaction with nature

Interacting with Nature in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology of DREVO, nature is viewed not as an external environment existing separately from man, but as the natural basis of his life and development.

Man is a part of nature.

His body consists of the same chemical elements as the surrounding world.

It depends on air, water, food, sunlight, soil, plants and many living organisms.

Therefore, psychological health cannot be completely separated from the state of the natural environment.

Man as a part of a living system

Man is not above nature.

He is one of its elements.

Just as a tree cannot be separated from soil, water and sunlight, humans cannot exist without natural ecosystems.

Every breath we take, every sip of water we take, and every meal we eat reminds us of our connection to the world around us.

Nature and development of man

Throughout human history, the natural environment has shaped human development.

Change of day and night.
Seasons of the year.
Climate.
Flora and fauna.
Landscape.

These factors have influenced and continue to influence people's lifestyle, health and psychological state.

Modern research shows that regular contact with nature is associated with reduced stress levels, improved mood, and increased subjective well-being in many people, although the extent of these effects may vary.

Nature as a source of restoration

Nature creates conditions for human recovery.
Silence.
Fresh air.
Natural lighting.
Movement.
A variety of natural sounds.
Contemplation of living forms.

For many people, such conditions help reduce mental stress, restore attention and emotional balance.

Therefore, interaction with nature is seen as an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Nature and Consciousness

Nature reminds people of the laws of life's development.
The tree is in no hurry to grow.
The river does not fight with every stone.
The forest exists thanks to the interaction of many organisms.

Observing nature helps a person develop patience, attention, the ability to see connections and think long-term.

These conclusions are a philosophical understanding of natural processes within the framework of the DREVO model.

Human responsibility

Man is capable of changing the environment.
Every decision he makes affects nature.
Use of resources.
Production.
Construction.
Agriculture.
Technologies.

All these actions can both preserve natural systems and disrupt their stability.

Therefore, a person’s responsibility extends not only to his own life, but also to the environment he leaves for future generations.

Environmental awareness

Ecological awareness begins with understanding interconnectedness.

People care about nature not only because it is useful.

He does this because he recognizes himself as part of a single system of life.

Caring for water, soil, forests, animals and climate becomes an extension of caring for people themselves.

Nature and Creation

The highest form of human interaction with nature is not consumption, but creation.

This can manifest itself through:

forest restoration;
biodiversity conservation;
sustainable agriculture;
development of environmental technologies;
rational use of natural resources;
creating cities that blend harmoniously with the natural environment.

Man becomes not only a user of nature, but also its responsible custodian.

The main principle

Nature is not an external object.
She is a part of a person.
And man is a part of nature.

By destroying nature, man gradually weakens the conditions of his own life.

By preserving and restoring it, he simultaneously strengthens the health of present and future generations.

Definition

Interaction with nature is a continuous process of mutual influence between humans and the natural environment, in which humans receive conditions for life and development, and through their decisions and actions change the world around them.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, interaction with nature is considered one of the fundamental levels of personal development. Human harmony is impossible without harmony with nature, as life's development always occurs through connection, cooperation, and responsibility.

Just as a tree cannot live without a forest, water, soil and sun, a person cannot fully develop without living nature, of which he is a part.
