To STUDY - Technical - New Dacian's Medicine

The New Medicine 2020 - Introduction (11)

Translation draft

The time has come to conclude this "general introduction" in which I sought to present as much as possible about what is to come, at least in terms of basic ideas... About structure, particular approach, etc., you will see at the right time...

I will start this post with two "speaks of spirit" of two great Romanians: Things are not difficult to do. What is harder is to enter the state of doing them (Constantin Brâncuşi).

This "first word" is perhaps more important than anything before we go down the path of new medicine, whether it is Dacian or not. "Let's get into the state of doing"... Why do I consider (and the authors that I have gone through, synthesized, assimilated, etc.) that this is the most important thing?!?

Firstly because human perception (demonstrated by psychoanalysts, psychologists, parapsychologists, specialists in personal development, spiritualists, etc.) is altered by an unimaginable number of factors "deformers" (even if we put quotation marks does not mean that the expression should not be taken as such). And here's what it's all about!

Recent research (published in 2014) of a psychological nature (International Journal of Psychology) reveals that each of us perceives the environment differently, even if it is individuals from the same family, blood or "alliance", from the same space (house/apartment, neighborhood, city, country, etc.), something definable with the expression "individual or group of perception".

I will not present you here too many details (e.g. the recognition of pro-environment behaviours, environmental objectives such as money saving, "investments" in improving health, etc. but these would complicate our considerations far too much), everything will be limited to the "strict necessary" (for example, influences are grouped into 18 "big"/ "significant" personal and social factors).

Therefore, the personal factors are (in a "spartan" presentation, because I will address everything at length in future posts):

1. Childhood experiences – These experiences affect particularly strongly both if they have "happened" in the family setting but, above all, when they have occurred outside it and have attracted broad considerations at the level of the individual or group of which it belongs;

2. Knowledge and education – It is obvious that it is the level of knowledge that determines almost all the considerations of a person, education being one of the main ways of knowledge, either by its "orientation" or by the lack of "assimilation"/ "acceptance" of education which no longer has an effect on knowledge;

3. Personality and self-interpretation – With reference to personality types ("The 4 great personalities") but also the current psychological "inclusion" represented by openness to experience (degree of intellectual curiosity, creativity, preference to novelty and variety), conscientiousness (referring to the tendency towards self-discipline, actions responsible for achieving an objective, achievements, through planned commitments at the expense of spontaneous reactions, through good organization and majority actions independent of the surrounding factors/collaborators), extroversion (which is a dominant of the way the landmark person relates in comparison to other people; for example, "selfish" has a way of perception totally different from others, differentiating from others (different value scales, different concerns, etc.), without concerns about the environment/ persons/ relationships/ shares, constantly competing , without the real capacity to exchange most environmental elements, etc.; "addict" focuses on relationships with others feeling permanently connected from all points of view, cooperative, etc. but depends in all its perceptions on "the surrounding predominances", etc.), agreeable character (referring to the tendency to be empathetic and collaborative at the disadvantage of suspicion and antagonism with those around) and emotional stability (in the sense of that constantly manifested state in which the tendency to experience negative/unpleasant emotions such as anger, anxiety, depression or various vulnerabilities is diminished or cancelled);

4. The meaning of control – Represented by the intention/ ability of the individual to want/ sustain control over events in his own life or others, the balance between "bending" towards himself or to outsiders determining (in certain weights) the ability of that person to access knowledge, interpretation, etc., causing openness to knowledge or access to dogmatism, limitation, depending on his own decisions or the consequences of environmental action;

5. Values – Perhaps the most important "filter" of knowledge, including from a personal point of view (I made this emphasis because it has a huge weight at the group level), based on the tendency of the person to be open to knowledge and change versus conservatism and "convenience" (not to mention spiritual tendencies or the like that could give rise to a kind of determinism of three major categories of "support base" for the "development" of values, the categories mentioned being represented by egocentric, exocentric (not to be confused with introvert and extrovert) and altruistic – a kind of clearly "popular" delimitation of materialistic versus undecided versus spiritual);

6. Perception of the world, including from a political, social, cultural, etc. point of view – at first glance may seem a "breakdown" forced by the previous factor (values) but it is clearly delineated, in particular due to major social/political influences; so that, for example, many of the values of egocentric people may seem similar to those of the exocentrics but their representation in action is totally different, as is the case if both "characters" tend to accumulate material support, influence etc. but with totally different "orientations"; then there is a kind of phenomenon of "self-censorship" in terms of actions, such as authority, which, apparently, I repeat, at egocentrics is intended to be emanated without external conditioning, whereas at the exocentrics it is intended to be practiced on the basis of actual knowledge and adaptation (and there would be many other examples, but about it in future posts); last but not least, it is about moral values emanating from the environment, values that are used in the case of egocentrics and improved in the case of exocentrics; local culture is also a determining factor in the manifestation/acceptance of knowledge of both ego and exo; then, why not, the "liberals" who hold free markets place a major price on control of knowledge, in all respects compared to the "conservatives" who, even if they had the same "orientation" they place a major price on controlling the perception of knowledge (a shade that is more important than you would imagine);

7. Own objectives – Another "determinant" on its perception and interpretation because they often have nothing to do with reality (for a number of reasons), such as if you are determined and "determined" to play a certain role in life, which makes you eliminate any element of perception and any act of interpretation that may interfere; then there would be deformation induced by the intended/imposed purpose, whether it is its own or related to the environment, whether it is linked to reality or not; it would be worth remembering here also a kind of classification of goals (3 in total) carried out by psychologists: a. hedonistic purposes that lead the individual to look for ways that improve his feelings and increase his comfort, b. "gain" goals that sensitize the individual to loss or gain (with respect to any landmark, not only the material one) and c. normative purposes that relate to rules, ethics, fairness, etc.;

8. Perception of responsibility – It is a real but particularly controversial factor, contesting its real influence on the grounds that this reporting is either excessively personal (processes of consciousness in relation to one's own facts or in incidence with the environment, including elements imposed by religion, beliefs or the like) or excessively external, environmentally imposed, to which the individual must adapt and thus alter his perception in order to integrate into the environment (but in future posts you will see that it is a major influencefactor);

9. Cognitive "inclination" / cognitive prejudices – the human brain is full of prejudices, it is built functionally major on these prejudices that shorten the time it takes to make decisions (we will discuss at length in future posts); from a psychological point of view, the major groups of cognitive prejudices are represented by: the "actor–observer" effect, b. self-constructed prejudices and c. egocentric prejudices (such as taking credit for success and rejecting responsibility for failures, often attributing the effect to someone else, etc. – I do not go into details now) without taking into account some kind of prejudices related to elements that have no connection with the processes of knowledge being effectively real brakes that want to maintain a balance achieved without the intervention of knowledge which necessarily attracts change, acceptance or other elements related to the functioning of the vegetative nervous system (sympathetic but, it is only an introduction, broad debates following);

10. Attachment of places/persons – here must be perceived by the term "places" not only a simple geographical presence, possibly only the parental or marital home but the whole set of factors, persons, actions, etc. attracted to it, which is why it is obvious that we can necessarily discuss a whole between a place and a person, that it is the individual landmark and or many other individuals; this attachment intervenes predominantly in the distortion of perception in relation to the past (being a kind of reliving of the perceptions of the past with all that attracts this) and, obviously, which requires a change of perception as a kind of inertia to change, whether it entails real regression or even prejudice;

11. Age – here I do not think there is any need for comments; in a way "see" the eyes at 4 years old, in a way at 18, etc., in a way "believe" at 4 years, in another way at... But let's not forget that under certain "conditions" of aging man may lose interest, change his values often, change times, values, increase the capacity for "concern", etc. (we will discuss more thoroughly than you can imagine);

12. Gender – The male brain is oriented towards the objective while the female brain is oriented towards living, accumulation, etc.; then, let us not forget that women are not afraid of socializing with all the effects on knowledge attracted to it while men socialize only "out of interest"/ for a purpose, which limits the perception according to the interference encountered (the rest in other posts);

13. The activities chosen – They are, in my view, the most important distorting factor of perception, even if, at first glance, they seem to be the elements that focus attention, they focus it on a particular perception; but, it is precisely this "name" that is the actor who totally changes the scenario of knowledge by its importance, by its action, etc. (For example, think of the military or any other militarized structure! The great military confrontations have not been won by those who assume so much importance, so much power, the "full of degrees" soldiers who parade on holidays, who benefit from so many social "advantages", materials, etc. They were won by true heroes, concentrated ones, volunteers based on anomalies of political thinking and the like, "take with japca", "with the arcane" or the like. The proof is the statistics of any "great war" in which the share of civilians becoming military is 98% of all casualties whereas the military so full of them represents less than 2%. And, after all, what they need to know more than to kill people as efficiently as possible, possibly to supply the car of death as quickly and as best as possible with military "effects"?!? And, the real heroes, we, the common ones, the ones who invent and work for them to benefit from the best "resources". I have not often experienced the contempt of human garbage but military with maximum degrees like "You cheap and stupid civilians" or others much "heavy", forgetting that a civilian can "militarize" but a soldier has no chance of civilizing. Then there would be prison guards who think they are great supporters of society, great values of justice, but there are people who have come to be guardians, regardless of the faculties completed because they are obviously not capable of anything else, or because they want the immense unjustified advantages attracted by this occupation and the like. As for knowledge, as for their prejudices, it is worth discussing the extent to which their perception has been affected. Interesting, isn't it?!? Here's how the chosen activities radically change perception, knowledge).

And social factors are represented by (with the same "summary" approach):

1. Religion – By far it is a factor of major importance in the totality of its manifestations, both at the material and spiritual level, precisely because it is certainly based on dogmas, which eliminate knowledge, not necessarily distort it; or, at the very least, with reference to the current forms of faith (we will discuss it again);

2. Urban-rural differences – This is not necessarily a kind of difference in the "quantity" of knowledge that obviously interferes with perception, but is simply a kind of difference in prejudice that interferes with personal prejudices and thus leads to a change with maximum, incalculable effect on perception; then, the lifestyle is different between urban and rural, social, cultural values, etc. differs, and so on, leading to a kind of clear differentiation between the knowledge of an individual in rural areas from one in urban areas;

3. Laws/norms – Even if they are a constrictive factor (rarely have been a factor of encouragement, of support, even in the current "democratic" conditions, blah, blah) these are the ones that concentrate the "opportunities" of knowledge and thus come to a kind of influence factor on perception; then, it would be important to note that norms, norms, laws, create social groups, encouraging distortion of perception, even by simply delimiting the "social class" type ("introduced" below), which should also discuss the reorientation of interests, the adaptive needs attracted to it, etc. (and there will be much to discuss here);

4. Social class – Many elements related to social classes are questionable in terms of influences on perception but there can be no doubt that it would not exist at least in terms of access to perception, the middle and over classes having a significantly higher access to the lower ones, in all respects, regardless of the "ambitions" that arise; Moreover, it is obvious that a class membership, a caste, totally changes the "attention" of its members and often the forced "class" dogmatizations attract massive distortions in the processing of information from the environment; then, why not, it is about the possibility of access to information, the lack of material resources, for example, clearly defining a kind of threshold of access level and, therefore, of the possibility of processing information and, therefore, a clear distortion in the reality of the elements admitted to knowledge; there are obviously influences and negative from the point of view of the "high" social classes, whose "elitism" seriously corrupts the perception (I will not give examples and, anyway, I will debate at length all these issues);

5. Proximity of places with cultural problems, ethnic, environmental, etc. – Proximity to such areas becomes a kind of closeness to "deformation zones" of perception stronger than you would imagine (that's why I realized this delimitation – for example, think about ethnic areas that keep intertwined, constantly vary and produce different perceptions on the same perception landmark regardless of the distorting factor) And, believe me, the specialized works describe many, many elements "deformation". Finally, I would only recall the division between the basal motivations of humans, the so-called balance between "being" and "having", which is the main "problem" on the basis of which human beings delineate their behavior, accept and process perception, and so on.m. But, not to lengthen the end of this introductory presentation much, let's quickly see what it is with "to be" and "to have"!

According to the Romanian Dex, "to be" means, as a predictive verb, to exist, to have a being, or to live, to live, to lead it (about things, situations, actions, etc.), or to be in a certain place, to be in a particular person, or to have its origin, to draw from, or to endure, to endure, to hold, or, to be fulfilled, to happen, to happen, to have and many, many other connotations.

"To have" means to possess something, to master something or someone, to own something or someone, to know, to dispose of, to dominate, or to receive, to receive, to obtain, to gain and many, many other connotations.

Further comment is needed?!? Here's what road we're going to (or at least I'm committed to everything that follows)! Together we will go through all kinds of elements of knowledge so that, having access to it, regardless of the "processes" that will follow, we can discern in what matters, that is, anything related to our real, palpable life, that it is of the body, of the mind, of both or that we will also take into account the spirit.

Thank you for your patience in going through such an introduction (I can't believe the extent of the "touched" either).
And as I'm announcing, I'm going to start with a pretty big piece of material about... Water...

Let's enjoy the good days!!
