Psychology
| Psychology is the study of the mind and imagination (subconscious) and behavior, a branch of the Science Church, closely linked to the Mental Health Industry (psychiatry, pharmaceutical industry) and the history of mind control. Psychology is a term coined by James Braid, based on psyche, the Greek word for soul or butterfly with letter psi (trident symbol of Neptune) as first letter. The psychoanalytical method of Sigmund Freud became the image of a psychologist in the public consciousness. |  |
Schools of thought:
- biological model neurological brain research.
- structuralism of Wilhelm Wundt.
- behavioural psychology (BF Skinner, John B Watson, Ivan Pavlov) research on conditioning through stimulus-reaction pairings for more advanced propaganda.
- cognitive studying mental process of learning, also used in creating artificial intelligence. Gestalt theory (holism instead of fragments) developed by Max Wertheimer (The New School, student of Carl Stumpf and teacher of Kurt Lewin, Solomon Asch and Rudolf Arnheim), Kurt Koffka and Wolfgang Köhler, reliving and resolving trauma. Fritz and Laura Perls developed Gestalt therapy.
- social psychology, study of group dynamics Gustav Lebon The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (1896) start of group psychology, used in nazism and fascism. Groups create their own judgement, their own cultural super-ego excluding black sheep non conformists (nullification of self into collective self, collective willpower).

History of psychology
The Egyptians and Greeks had religious rituals of reaching ecstacy and giving initiates a peak of the spirit world. Aristotle wrote De Anima. Hippocrates described 4 humours, blood, phlegm, black and yellow bile and sanguine.
In Hinduism the concept of eternal soul and the mundane self is taught and the importance of reaching higher awareness is taught through yoga (union).
In Judaism the mystical tradition of kabbalism was developed. Personality types are based on how one balances the 4 elements (duality of darkness and light, yin and yang, the receptive, female component and active, male component, fall and rise, winter and summer, north and south, disorder and order, water and fire, expansion and contraction).
The Chinese yin yang symbol shows a balance between two opposites, the shady and sunny side, with a portion of the opposite element in each section (in the mind conscious and unconscious, in the body acid alkaloid, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, in the I Ching yin solid lines, yang broken lines, combined in trigrams).
The alchemists experimented with chemical substances to manipulate and conquer the mind and wrote on psychological transformation (symbolism of the Tarot). HC Agrippa wrote 3 books on occult philosophy (magic=self hypnosis, control of the mind) and influenced Paracelsus.
