The Subconscious Mind and the Sixth Sense

Chapter 42 The Greatest Prophet - Prediction (2)
Fromm, a famous American psychologist, said: "People's various thoughts, concepts, logics, languages, religions, everything has formed a network system. This network system Like a funnel, all the information that can pass through these nets (of those biased nets) can be observed by your experience, otherwise you can't see it."

In other words, the information we can observe is often filtered through a biased screen.

Everyone has prejudice. People with different worldviews have different love and hate emotions and attitudes of praise and criticism.People are all narrowing down and reducing prejudice for themselves, to varying degrees.As one would want and should strive to do, to guard against the harms of prejudice.

Evaluate, look at a person, an event, an environment... Although influenced by the first impression and various physical and mental conditions, people's mentality, situation, cognition and emotions in life will follow the development of things It's getting better and better.And narrowness, prejudice, and selfishness carry a heavy burden of life, with narrowness at one end and selfishness at the other end, and a heavy and painful life journey.Prejudice often leads people astray, and usually brings people pain and trouble.

People are prejudiced, as if they have entered a vicious circle.Escaping and breaking free are people's inner desires.However, due to emotional factors, prejudices in today's society, especially when love, life, career, affection and money are in conflict or mixed, prejudices intensify, contradictions frequently breed, and even extreme behaviors caused by prejudices It is not uncommon.

Most of the truth is often an illusion reflected by people wearing colored glasses.For those things related to themselves, most people tend to be "blindly optimistic", take all good things to themselves, attribute success to themselves, and show a typical "self-efficacy". The most important thing is "blind pessimism", often attributing mistakes in a big way, thinking that bad things are screwed up by oneself, showing a very serious tendency to depression.

There are some interesting psychological surveys in the US.When it comes to ethics, most business people think they are more ethical than the average businessman; 90% of business managers rate their own accomplishments more than their average colleagues; most drivers—even most who have been hospitalized in a car accident ——All think they are safer and more skilled drivers than the average driver; most people think they are less prejudiced than the average people around them; most people think they are healthier than their neighbors and live ten years longer than the age of death predicted by the insurance company; Many people consider themselves to be less prone to self-serving bias than most... What makes it even more difficult to accept is that the numbers from these surveys are far above average.Is it true?

Most people don't understand you, and you don't fully understand these people, so attitudes and stances are different, and different worlds will be printed in your eyes. In this case, you should not easily judge others. Don't care about other people's judgments.Because everyone can button the first button wrong, right?Therefore, when you are strongly aware of the arrival of prejudice, you might as well calm down, listen to the voices of others, and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the vast world.

If you want to live a real life and reduce prejudice as much as possible, please calm down, re-examine your position, and have a clear self-awareness. Only when you stand upright can you see a truly clear and beautiful world.

Hysteria: a person who refuses to examine himself

[German poet Lille said: "Although there are many people, people use more faces. The reason is that everyone has several faces."]

People often use the word "hysteria" to describe a state of madness.So, do you know what it really means?
Hysteria is hysteria, and it is often used to describe people's emotional agitation and abnormal behavior. It is the most common neurosis.Most people with hysterical personality traits will suddenly attack under the influence of mental factors or bad suggestions, and appear mental disorders or physical dysfunctions with bright emotional colors.

Are there such people around you?Emotional, expressive, emotional, affective, prone to temper tantrums, like others' sympathy and pity, mood changeable and easily hinted.Self-centered, sociable and self-expressive.Asks a lot from others and doesn't take others' interests into consideration.Superficial thinking, not used to logical thinking.This kind of person behaves very childishly, which is a childish performance that does not match their age.Maybe they are no longer young and young, but still prefer to wear outlandish clothes with strange collocations, hoping to attract the attention of others.

Their emotions are sometimes passionate and sometimes weeping, which is unpredictable.At first people will think that this is their occasional out-of-control performance, but slowly it turns out that this is their normal state.He often looks at the opposite sex with affection, and uses the body language that appears on the stage to intersect with reality.Everywhere in their lives is their stage, and they obsessively love this kind of performance, love to show off, and want to hold the audience all the time.

Perhaps a familiar shadow has emerged in your mind, or perhaps you have seen in horror the shadow within you.Don't panic, it's just a minor condition, hysteria.

Freud pointed out that hysteria is a kind of mental disease, which originates from psychological factors and produces symptoms through specific psychology, and women are more than men.Its etiology is closely related to mental factors. Mental factors such as various unpleasant moods, anger, panic, and grievances are often the inducements of the first onset, and later on, it may recur due to association or re-experience of the first episode of emotion, and it is often caused by hints or hints. caused by self-suggestion.

The book "Studies on Hysteria" co-authored by Freud and Breuer is of milestone significance, which marks the birth of psychoanalysis.Psychoanalysis started from the study of hysteria and went deep into the analysis of various neuroses, and then went deep into the psychopathology of daily life, literature, history, art, religion, society and other aspects, and then opened the frenzy of psychoanalysis.

Many people don't know much about hysteria, and many people even sneer at it, thinking that it is just a "disease" that is "pretended" by too hypocritical, and then have prejudice against hysteria patients. In fact, hysteria is A mental illness.Just like a cold in life, it is a very normal and common small condition.

"I read a lot of books at the age of nine and reached my peak at the age of 20. Now I read books on humanities, such as "Friends" and "Story Club"... 300 years forward and 300 years back, a total of 600 years no one More than me." Ever since a certain woman said this seriously, she became popular immediately and became an alternative celebrity that was reported by various media. Her criteria for choosing a spouse are: "Must have a master's degree from Tsinghua University and Peking University, major in economics, and have an international perspective." , with a height of 1 meters to 76 meters..." Her true self is 1 meters tall, and is described by netizens as a girl with "dead fish eyes, bulbous nose, and toad mouth".

Taking this as an example, there is no intention of slander or contempt, but to dig out the core of a psychological phenomenon in this well-known example.Her arrogance is not a temporary joke or entertainment. In her mind, she imagines that she has supreme talent, insight, value, knowledge, identity... Driven by this idea, her subconscious will deliberately change her life It is a strong manifestation of hysteria to cater to delusions in a certain way, to become blindly confident, and to fully admit the reality of the self-imagined world.

In this era of developed networks and fierce competition, there are many mischievous people who have become popular overnight through the Internet, and their methods and means are far beyond the imagination of ordinary consciousness.Excluding other non-subjective factors such as commercial hype, most of them are the potential or manifestation of hysteria.

Initially, hysterical patients were called "liars"!It was considered a shameless liar.There is such a story, she is a woman from the country, she suddenly found that one day she could not swallow, could not eat or even drink water.For this reason, she has not eaten or drank for many days, and they invited a witch doctor, but nothing improved.Her husband took her to various hospitals for treatment, and after many tests, the cause could not be found.They turn to doctors to take them to specialists.Neurologists routinely performed basic neurological examinations on her, and everything was normal.For a moment it seemed like a little legend.Then, the parties involved and the bystanders naturally attributed the incident to supernatural forces.

The doctor then asked her to drink a glass of water. She held the water in her mouth and couldn't swallow it in her throat. Finally, all the water was spit out.Later, the doctor thought of a way, brought in a medicine bottle again from the outside, poured out half a glass of water from the bottle, and told her that there is a newest medicine here that can cure her disease, and many patients have already taken it. She recovered from this medicine, as long as she drank the medicine, her illness would be cured immediately.He also emphasized that this is the best hospital, and there is no need to go to other hospitals. If you don't take medicine, no one can save her.Then, the woman miraculously swallowed the water, and finally they got back a few packs of cheap medicine, and her condition completely improved in no time.She is very grateful for the help provided by the doctor. Many people call this doctor a miracle doctor, but what is the truth?The water the doctor gave her was nothing more than ordinary glucose water for injection, not a new magic drug.

This is a manifestation of hysteria.People will think that this woman's emotions seem artificial, but in fact, these stem from their strong anxiety and conflict about expressing emotions.She overcomes anxiety by exaggerating her emotions, convincing herself and others, which also makes others feel that they don't mean it, and when they don't feel safe, they can retract or tone down what they said, so emotional expression because of conflict And anxiety gets in the way, and eventually the subconscious convinces the body and causes the body to react to stress.What the doctor solved with this glass of water is actually a mental illness.

Hysteria, mental illness, these evil-sounding words can make people panic.

With the continuous acceleration of the pace of life and the continuous increase of survival pressure, modern people seem to be more and more susceptible to various mental diseases.Therefore, it is not only necessary to protect physical health, but also to ensure spiritual pleasure.

Due to the many somatic manifestations of hysteria, people are often unaware of its occurrence, which leads to the deterioration of the condition.Therefore, when some "strange diseases" with no etiology can be found, we should face them squarely and pay attention, but there is no need to worry too much, because it is not a difficult and miscellaneous disease.

According to research and analysis by psychological researchers, obsessive personality is the result of excessive use of the left brain, while hysterical personality is the excessive use of the right brain to enlarge subjective thinking.Their cognitive style is impressionistic and imaginative.Most of them judge things by feeling, intuition and impression, while ignoring the rational judgment of objective existence.They'll often say "that's how it feels to me" "that's how it looks to me" and you'd be amazed at their ESP insight.

Freud believed that most hysterical patients had oral fixation.People with hysterical traits have a strong appetite, and they have a strong need for oral gratification.They desperately crave attention, love, and intimacy.

When they feel inferior in front of people, they make themselves the center of attention.When subconsciously very scared, in order to protect themselves, they will appear brave and fearless to the outside world.You might watch a horror movie screaming, and you'll be happy to help the homeless as a way to take care of your inner fears.And this protective anti-fear behavior is an important behavioral feature of hysteria.

The German poet Rielke said: "Although there are many people, people use more faces. The reason is that everyone has several faces."

Hysterics sometimes suddenly lose all memory of their past events, cannot recognize their original identity, and carry out daily social activities with another new identity, similar to split personality, manifested as two or more obviously different Each personality has its own memory, hobbies and behaviors, which are completely independent, appear alternately, and are not connected with each other.At a certain moment, only one of the personalities is displayed, and at this time, the existence of the other personality is unaware.

I believe that many people will have such an experience. After a certain friend around him has experienced some important events, he will feel that this person has suddenly changed. Although he still looks the same, his personality, aura, His temper and disposition changed, as if he had been injected with another soul.

It is often encountered that such a person can suddenly transform into another completely different identity after being mentally stimulated, and all emotions, thoughts, words and deeds behave in the way of the successor personality.At this time, the individual completely forgets the past identity, as if he has changed to another person psychologically.The transformation from one personality to another usually occurs suddenly, and when the successor personality begins to "take power," the original subject personality is unaware and forgets what has happened.

Then, when you find that your mental state is at a sub-health level, for example, when you obviously feel strong and unstable emotions, easy to act emotionally, and naive emotions, don't be anxious, let alone worry about what strange disease you have, and stay away from all unreliable things. Thinking, because hysteria is not a terrible strange disease, it is just a mental cold, you only need to consciously adjust your mental state in your life and work to prevent problems before they happen.You can also consciously change yourself, such as improving self-cultivation, strengthening the study of scientific and cultural knowledge, and adjusting emotions.

Use healthy methods to relax your mind and slowly find your peaceful state of mind. In this way, your troubles will disappear without a trace.In the era of hustle and bustle of competition, it is time to learn to relax, stop and be quiet.When you are frustrated and disappointed in life, draw a shallow rest for yourself.Relax and make your own "spiritual cure".

You know, the earth is round, no one will always stand on that unlucky point, the sky will come eventually, and tomorrow will always come.

A quiet solution to thousands of worries, a quiet solution to worries, everything will pass!
Labeling Effect: Labeled Vinegar

Does soy sauce go sour?

[We must learn to put a positive label on every day, and learn to free ourselves when the pressure is high, so as to become the happy self we want to truly be. 】

Will soy sauce labeled vinegar go sour?

how can that be!

Of course you think this is nonsense, but in fact, such things happen from time to time in our lives.There is a very profound psychological knowledge hidden behind it, which is what we call the label effect.

The label effect was created by Pygmalion. He was the king of Cyprus in ancient Greek mythology. He adored a statue of a girl he carved so much that his ardent expectation made the statue come alive and married her as his wife.Therefore, the meaning of "label effect" is very simple: what kind of label you put on yourself, you will become what kind of person.In fact, popular understanding is the role of psychological suggestion.

Psychological suggestion can make people cure the disease by using flour as medicine, and it can also make people drink the potion as poison and die.Autosuggestion works whether we admit it or not.It is generally believed that tears are caused by sadness, but in fact tears can also make people sad. This is indeed an argument that surprised us.Believe it or not, label utility actually works wonders.

When a person is labeled with a word name, he will perform self-image management to make his behavior consistent with the content of the label.This phenomenon is caused by labeling, so it is called "labeling effect".

Psychologist Kraut did the following experiments in 1973.He asked people to make donations to charitable causes and then labeled them "charitable" or "not charitable" depending on whether they gave.Other subjects did not use labeling.When they were later asked to donate again, the label had the effect of causing them to behave in the same way as they did the first time, that is, those who donated money for the first time and were labeled as "charitable" were more likely than those who did not. People donated more, and those who didn't give money for the first time were labeled as "uncharitable" less than those who didn't.It is just a label, but it introduces greatly different behavioral results to people's behavior. It is not difficult to see the powerful effect of label utility.

"Label" has a certain guiding effect. Whether it is "good" or "bad", people often put one or more labels on themselves through their own cognition and other people's evaluation of themselves, gentle, positive and optimistic The result of such "labeling" to define the rational, rational, and emotional is to make it develop in the direction indicated by the "label". We must not ignore this effect.

By the same token, if the label is not positive and positive, then the person who is labeled may act in the opposite direction of the content of the label.Maybe some people have difficulty accepting the magical effect of the "label effect" for a while, insisting that life and destiny are completely in their own control, but whether they admit it or not, the label effect does have a huge impact on our lives.

There was such a story:
A reporter conducts an interview in a construction zone.When he walked into the construction area, he saw a young man laying bricks.He went up to him and asked him, "Sir, what are you doing?"

"Nonsense, you said you saw it and asked?! Aren't I building a wall? Working under the sun, it's really annoying!" As he spoke, he spat on the ground.

The reporter stopped bothering him and went to another place.He came across another young man who was laying bricks.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm building a house, and it's a great building!"
