Freud Has Reconsidered Jesus By Now.
Soul training on soul training. Dear soul, concerning the images that appear on your mental screen:
Beyond the most common and continuous images derived from objects naturally captured by your five senses, there are the ones initiating temptation. The modern word on the soul (so-called psychology) from the Freudian school is that these are from 'primitive instincts and energies underlying all mental activity' - id impulses. "For Freud, the unconscious is the storehouse of instinctual desires, needs, and psychic actions. While past thoughts and memories may be deleted from immediate consciousness, they direct the thoughts and feelings of the individual from the realm of the unconscious." (Wikipedia - Unconscious mind). However, the long-standing true Christian self-denying practice (from belief) concerning these thought-images is not that they are 'primitive instincts and energies underlying all mental activity', but rather the actions of demons from the spirit realm in which the human soul is also a participant.
Although all the images are not necessarily of a sexual nature, these Freudian images have the same basic logic of classification as the ill-passions. They are the familiar model of the seven deadly sins plus one: gluttony, fornication, avarice (greed, covetousness), sorrow (ungodly), anger (irritable, intemperance), sloth (passive boredom, apathy), vainglory (man-pleasing), and pride.[1].
The most important point here (my soul), is that from your earliest days the underlying assumption of those instructing you in public education, falsely believed that the thought-images present in the human mind were all generated by the human mind itself. There was no room for the spirit-world influence in the formal subjects of biology, psychology, anthropology, sociology, history, science, logic, etc., but rather a certain assumed evolutionary humanistic naturalism that prevailed all. Now this is not a ruse to avoid responsibility in saying 'the devil made me do it', but rather a discovery of the complicit activity required between demons and man for the existence of evil words and deeds.
The true self-denying intuitive word on the soul is not the same as the mind-set of the Freudian based society to say the least. It is also quite different than the psycho-analysis that is commonly accepted as curative, the so-called depth-psychologies (that are failing at an alarming rate) - a certain logistics on the soul. That and the rest of the so-called schools of psychology (traditions based on soul theories) are much different on the nature of the human soul and the way the human soul functions.
Now it also follows from that (my soul), that there is a significant difference in perspective concerning the primary motivations coming from and through the soul. Also how the various motivations affect and color each other, the relationship between the mind, will, and emotion; and the importance of the reality of the thought-images themselves. Perhaps the biggest difference is in the preconceived ideas of right and wrong that underlie each of the so-called psychologies (words on the soul). The true Christian psychology (intuitive word on the soul) is based on a right interpretation of revelation and centuries of recorded experiences from known saints of established integrity.[2].
The main thing that you need to learn and know is that the occurring thought-images on the screen of your mind can and must be faced down. You must become a master of rejecting them and denying the temporary pleasure offered by each of them rather they are real or fictitious. There is no saint and nothing in the true Christian self-denying intuitive word-on-the-soul that would tell you to accept such thought-images.
That which has seemed only natural is not the natural human situation for you, as is seen in how you were created and your nature before the fall. The thought-images are from energies (pertaining to you) operating against your original created nature at the instigation of demons. Your emotions and habits coming from your desire and temperament may seem to be natural but in reality they have only became common to man after the fall, and are not part of your essence. They, and therefore you, need a cure and purification in order to be restored to health.
Mark the difference of the underlying value-judgments, of the underlying preconceived ideas on right and wrong between the self-denying true intuitive word-on-the-soul and the popular reception of Freud and others on the so called depth-psychologies - theories on the soul.[3]. For the true word on the soul (psychology) will set you free (John 8:32), but the other so-called words on the soul will keep you in a labyrinth and system of mazes, a confusion at the mercy of those entities whose existence you tend to want to deny - namely the demons. You must ruthlessly receive the truth without a judgment concerning what is popular and acceptable to others (how you will appear based on what you have chosen to believe) - free yourself even from this demon of vain-glory that follows closely behind while you face the others.
Applied from the following text and author - timiosprodromos3.blogspot.com
Words inside of brackets { } are added for personal clarity.
[1]. "These spontaneous images in the mind of objects of sense arise out of what {so called} modern psychology {word on the soul} of the Freudian school would call id impulses {primitive instincts and energies underlying all mental activity}, although they are not necessarily sexual: such images have the same typology {logic of classification} as the passions {ill-passions}: gluttony, fornication, avarice, sorrow, anger, accidie {passive boredom}, vainglory and pride. In the Orthodox {right reason, true Christian ascetical {self-denying} tradition {practice out of belief}, of course, the inception in the mind {mind of the heart} of an image of an object of sense {of the senses} is ascribed not to an id impulse {primitive instincts and energies underlying all mental activity} but to the action of a demon."
[2]. "This ascetical {self-denying} psychology {intuitive word on the soul} also differs fundamentally from the Freudian and other {so called} depth-psychological {logistics on the soul} analysis and from the analyses of other {so called} schools of psychology {logics on the soul}, not only in the analysis of the actual workings of the human person — what his primary motivations are; how his motivations articulate the one with the other; how his mind and emotions are related; the significance of a spontaneous image in his mind — but also in the implicit and often unspoken value-judgments contained in each psychology {word on the soul}. It would be a nave student of psychology indeed who did not recognize that Freud and the other modern founders of psychological systems had in their psychologies implicit value-judgments {preconceived ideas on right and wrong}. Orthodox ascetical psychology is explicit in its value-judgments, based as they are on the Orthodox {right reason, true Christian} interpretation of Revelation."
[3]. "Above all, we have learned that the spontaneous image {on the screen of the mind} can and should be rejected: there is nothing in this Orthodox {true Christian} ascetical {self-denying} psychology {intuitive word on the soul} that would counsel a person to accept such an image, and the practice suggested by it, as being natural to the human condition {as created before the fall}: these images are seen as founded on the operations contrary to {original} nature of the desire (epithumia) and temper (thumos), the emotions, even when it appears that the images and the practices they suggest are quite normal {because they are common to man after the fall}. This marks a great divergence of this ascetical {self-denying} psychology {true word on the soul} from modern received interpretations of Freudian and other {so called} depth-psychologies {theories on the soul}."
