Our Psyche and Brain Images or Formation of Images in Our Mind-The Concept Formation
posted March 8, 2009 - 8:45amHave you ever checked the Psyche? Let us do it. We know that concepts are abstract from of past experiences, particularly of all that we have gone through our Self Study and Learning. These are general thoughts coming because of perception and conception process going in our mind. It creates the visuals, sounds, tastes, sensations or feelings of touch, smell and other combinations of any more than one of these. The concept formation differs from our memory.
The memory may give image of disliking look or image of someone, but is it hatred?? No, it may correlate to some kind of activity, action or reaction in the past. We happen to correlate it with the present just to prove that there are negative thoughts, emotions, attitudes, interests and so on forming the psychological effects and thus the psyche of us. Suppose, a dog bites us, we may have image of dog biting us whenever we see a dog. However, at the same time, we can have our own dog as a pet. When we see our dog the face of smiling dog appears, but if we recall or remember the incident of dog biting us, it may create the image of it many times.
Suppose, we recall it, our reactions are of two kinds, one that of great liking and the other of great disliking. Both are exactly and perfectly right, but in the right perspective. Now, suppose, someone has misbehaved us, but the person is also our friend. It depends on the circumstances that we react to the same person in two ways. So, the two ways of reactions may prove anything-liking or disliking, while the corruption of mind for having two ways of behavior, appearing as if cheating and shrewdness of mind. Now, here the role of concept is more important than the memory. The memory helps us to form the concept.
When we are in the self-defense mode, our reactions are most likely to be of angry look or biting dog. However, while at the self-level, the normal psyche level, we have the image of the smiling face of a human or a dog. How can we find the real image and thus the concept in us? The concept formation has the memory in use in the process of formation, but once the concept is formed, we remember the concept only and react without any negativity or even the reaction taken positively.
This concept is at the level of auto-suggestion, which we know as pros and cons for anything about which our retentive powers gives us memory. The memory alone has nothing to do with tracing the concept because even the parrot can narrate the words in the opposite pairs without knowing anything about right or wrong. This is our lower mind at which the id or ego works.
We fail in such trials, which are psychological in this context. The super ego, which has the most non practical, non-realistic and inactive existence, but it is what creates the grounds for the idealism, most coherent form of human activity in mind that cannot project itself in what one says. In such cases the religions claim it as beyond intellect, but in the society it is the cause of great obstacle in any kind of reformation that we need.
Thus, mostly the spirituals are taken wrong when a religious fundamentalists puts one to test for a particular situation, incident, circumstance created to check if what one think has been put into action. It is same as if checking if one does what one says and says what one does. So, the idealists and the spirituals mostly fail.
You know why, because it is judging others and putting to test for psychological improvement at the cost of philosophical failures, the lack and thus apathy in the society for any reformation that may help the idealists to work on the projects that are for the society, from the society and in the society. The idealists may seem living far away in another world, but does it make one anti-social as if disliking others?
No, it is simply seeking help, which the realists can get with power, money, force, influence and thus the proving the hatred present, though in the self-assumed ways as if betraying the neighbors.
In an idealistic way one may show great affection for the neighbors, but in the realistic way it goes to proving the social failures leading to social injustice that is described in the article as the realistic getting everything out of the thoughts, emotions, feelings and ideas of the idealists for self-interests and motives, while proving it the way to survive and succeeding in the society successfully in which the idealist is the worst kind of obstacle as if a threat to the society and the nation in the extreme cases.
Even while writing such article, it is very clear to me that bitterness increases among the realists, the professionals for whom the ideas need materialization and all other views have the hidden motives needing a criminological check, the virus that may be destructive for others, the self-assumed theory for the intellectual terrorism, which the realist does and the victimizes the idealists for it. Thus, it mostly proves us as the victims of social dictatorship from the realists rather than the idealists, who may bark only.
Philosophically, we do not have the images, and it is the funniest point for which psychology has no equipment, machine or an instrument because philosophy does not use the images for the creation of philosophical thoughts and the ideas. The thoughts and ideas have nothing to do with the action, and thus the senses. Person doing mediation or having deep concentration has no image or even the thoughts. This thoughtless condition is not psychological, but philosophical.
You see psychologically we are the psychological animals, but philosophically we are the humans. The criminology advancement has not yet reached at such a high level to trace the thoughts from the thoughtless condition of mind. The self-defense is psychology and thus our right, but the attack is philosophically the attacking is not present at all because it lacks action, particularly the idealism. Now, idealist may think very seriously about the realisms.
While, the idealist is putting any idea into real world that is within the mind, the schizoid world we may assume, the reactions are so intensive that it can blow all the theories of realism, what to talk about the psychology, psyche and behavior has nothing to do with it as it is the powerful perception in the mind and one may react to non-ideal action of anyone, including the self, that psychologically person appears to be a great threat if one puts it into action. Has any idealist ever put the idealism into realism? Mostly not, if they do, they become the dictators, whom no one can control.
It is the self-control of greatly high level that they control the strong reaction to idealism, while viewing it from the social angle, the realist view point that such people are mostly proved as the cynical, tyrannical, dictators, and so the mentally abnormal with criminal tendencies proved psychologically and their so swift and intense reactions with the most violent reaction producing the images as if of hatred, disliking, and even as if punishing the same dog that has bitten or towards a person that has once misbehaved.
The realist on the other hand, can follow the lower level of thought approaching towards psychology to include the sociological aspects and thus the influence for some kind of finding the hidden personality of the idealist, who are basically the reformists. This power emergence of realism has the blend of psychology and sociology so such people get all the results against and or in favor anyone for their self-motives that no one can ever doubt that they have any negative thought, idea or emotion in what they think, feel, behave and do.
It is the highest level of thought pollution torturing the idealists, who are mostly the honest, dedicated, loyal and well wishers of all.
Can they ever prove it before their death? No, mostly not, but should they leave it, the answer remains always-never and at no cost as the Socrates did.
Thus, we need to have the concept of both idealism and the realism and its uses and the misuses. We focus again on the concept formation. You see it; the concept is what gives us the discerning power to know whether we dislike person or action. We should remember that the development of concepts is gradual. The following mental activities take part in the formation of concepts, some of these are:
1. Perception, which means sensory exploration.
2. Analysis of particularly what has been perceived.
3. Comparison of analyzed qualities of what has been perceived.
4. Synthesis after comparison has been made.
5. Naming of the concept e.g. time, self, space, human being etc.
The above development takes place through motor manipulation, questioning, reading, reasoning and training. It is very important that we should be having clear visualization of what we conceive, i.e., visualization of concepts or whatever we learn should be there. Some times, this does not happen because of the following reasons:
1. Faulty and ambiguous information
2. Superstitious beliefs
3. Misunderstanding of words and meaning
4. Faulty reasoning, thinking and wrong approach towards problem solving
5. Fanciful and daydreaming attitude towards Self Study and Learning.
Now we are able to understand that the generalized ideas, which are based on comparison of and abstraction from a number of particular perceptual experiences, are our concepts. Thus to form clear concepts or to develop our perception and conception, we need to develop the philosophical ways as the standard of living, not the psychological ones including the power of sociology for it, then we can have the right concept of proper and a healthy society. Let us not forget the smiling face of the dog. Thanks!
