In case you haven’t thought about it, lately or ever, what we mean by the term “psychology” is a mystery! It’s a handle we humans use without thinking much about what it actually is, in and of itself.
We may know we all are affected by psychology, but what it is and how it operates in us is another thing entirely. We form psychologies, throughout our lives. It’s going on all the time. And for each one of us, the psychologies we create are then under our surveillance and care. To add, while they are not our fault, they are our responsibility. In order to survive in life, we automatically form psychologies. Some are helpful (supporting us in life) and others harmful (blocking our path in some way). The question is, which is which, and how do we look at all of this with new eyes?
It starts with natural curiosity to do with who and what we are, beginning with the fact that we live in a body, on a planet! This means that everything we perceive comes through a sensing apparatus that is built into the earth-suit we are born with or into. And all the psychologies we form as we move through life are created by virtue of what we come in contact with and the way it is processed via the systems of us.
Pretty wild to consider what we would actually see if we had a different kind of body with different sensing equipment, yes? And what then would be the nature of our psychologies?
