Translated from Italian by Gordon Symons; original title: Per Conoscere l&#8217;animo Umano; (Archivio Assagioli &#8211; Florence)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In our time, the desire to reach a deeper knowledge of the human soul feels more alive and demanding.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Men are seeking the way and the goal within themselves, but being uncertain still and restless, they ask for a guide. This should be psychology, but unfortunately, this science has so far not been adequate for this task, as it completely ignores the unconscious. Not even modern psychology, by remaining too materialistic, has met the requirements that are required for this high purpose \u2013 and even in its broadest developments it is only just beginning to glimpse the heights of the unconscious.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The typical school of behaviorism, created in America by Watson, considers our psyche to be a machine, and we wonder how this psychology was invented and accepted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Other schools are also very superficial. For example, it suffices to observe the book &#8221; <\/span><\/span><em><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Meaning of Psychology<\/span><\/span><\/em><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> &#8221; by the Englishman, Ogden &#8211; the editor of the newspaper <\/span><\/span><em><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Psyche<\/span><\/span><\/em><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> &#8211; to have proof of this assertion. In his book he deals with Behaviorism, animal psychology, the abnormal, facial symmetry, versatility and genius, individual psychology and races, the need for conscious domination. But it is interesting to observe the importance given to each of these subjects, to see how superficially some of them &#8211; and the most vital of them &#8211; are treated. Furthermore, the following topics are not even mentioned: religious psychology, meditation and enlightenment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This which occurs in general psychology is also reflected in individual psychology.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Until quite recently, a subdivision of human beings called the theory of temperaments was accepted, which was based on the existence in our body of the so-called Galenic fluids: 1) blood 2) phlegm 3) bile 4) pituita, which gave rise to the distinction of four corresponding different temperaments: 1) blood 2) phlegmatic 3) bilious 4) melancholic, according to the prevalence in each individual of one of the aforementioned fluids. Needless to say, this theory is insufficient; yet the systems of Dorsch, Wound, Heine, Kant, etc. are all roughly based on this theory.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Other more modern systems are also very insufficient.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The endocrinologist Pende distinguishes three types: the morphological, the affective and the strong-willed. As important and interesting as his theory is, even though the author is essentially a medical man, the anatomical and physiological, rather than the spiritual side prevails in his system.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Investigations of individual psychology have also been made, which, as it studies the various functions of individual subjects, has been called differential psychology. The results obtained are very useful, however, it is too analytical and fragmented and it does not reveal the secret of the human psyche, because the studies have been done mostly on children.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A new system is based on the study of individual personalities, illustrated in psychograms. This represents significant progress, but is still too descriptive and external, and it also lacks synthesis.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Another way is that of the psychoanalytic method followed by Freud, Jung, Adler, etc., in which there is much more depth, and by means of which we have come to the discovery of the dynamics of emotional life. And it is in this that we find the positive contribution.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In Jung&#8217;s system we find a wide analysis of introverted and extroverted types. Adler&#8217;s psychology has given very acceptable results, relying in his individual studies on the theory [&#8230;] of the latent powers present in each of us, thus combating the tendency that many individuals have, of feeling inferior to others, a sense of inferiority that has a great and very harmful influence on the life of the individuals who are pervaded by it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These contributions are important and deserve to be taken into consideration, but they are still insufficient, since even in this system the spiritual center is ignored.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Man is not a very intelligent beast, he is essentially a spiritual center. And whoever does not admit this spiritual &#8220;I&#8221;, cannot understand the true nature of psychic facts. This mysterious consciousness, this spiritual center does not yet rule our lives, but sometimes manages to make its voice heard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A spiritual psychology is therefore needed. The materials for such a psychology exist, it is necessary to unite them and to make them into a constructive synthesis. To contribute to the formation of spiritual psychology, it will be very useful to follow an individual psychology course, based on these spiritual assumptions, which will be of great help in forming a spiritual consciousness, and help us understand our fellow men.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A very general subdivision of the psychological types is that of the impulsive and the inhibited. The impulses do not act effectively on their inhibiting power. The inhibited are instead self-critical, self-doubting, they never decide to act out of a lack of self-confidence, and as the Poet says: they swallow up their business through thinking.&#8221;. In them is needed an education in impulsiveness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We need to study ourselves to know which of these two categories we belong to. So far, it is perhaps not difficult to succeed, but there are much more subtle distinctions that are not easy to perceive. Individual psychology aims to eliminate two big mistakes, and to let us know the two big tasks that each of us must accomplish in life:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\r\n<li><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To fulfill our vocation.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To develop our deficient parts and correct our defects, to succeed in forming the beautiful statue of the soul, in its harmonious perfection.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is not uncommon for us not to recognize what our vocation is, and this occurs especially in passive types; no less difficult is it to recognize our shortcomings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But with a sincere and deep desire, we will be able to carry out our task, aided by the choice of a good method.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Such a spiritual psychology will be of great use in the educational field. We must keep as a firm theme of every educational method the clear concept that in every child there is a spiritual center, and that we must do nothing else but support it in its development. Experience has shown us that any violence-based educational method does not lead to any effective results.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Our educational task consists only in curbing excesses and promoting harmonizing reactions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The usefulness of spiritual psychology in psychotherapy is also evident, especially knowing how to adopt the methods best suited to the various psychological types.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Psychological exercises are truly and profoundly useful. First of all, they serve to give us an ever greater dominion over our mind, and also increase our practical efficiency in any field of activity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But their greatest usefulness lies in their spiritual value. In fact, they favor our disidentification from the facts of ordinary life. Generally our &#8220;I&#8221; experiences our thoughts, our imaginations and reveries; the situation must be radically reversed: our &#8220;I&#8221; must prevail and finally become the master and not remain the slave.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To achieve this, it is a question of clearing the way, of sweeping away all obstacles, of creating inner silence, so that the voice of the Spirit can be heard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Then we will feel in ourselves the existence of something dominant and divinely great. Everyone will be able to try it, to experience it, to live it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To achieve such a result, gradual practice is needed: it takes patience and perseverance, and starting with elementary exercises. The first exercise is to visualize an image: try to evoke it as vividly as possible, and hold it without it being overwhelmed or replaced by others. For example, a black square on a white background, or a blue circle on a white background, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Editor: The original article stops here)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assagioli argues for the importance of spiritual psychology, which affirms the inner spiritual center.
