"If you only want to, you can fly into space."
I once believed in this doctrine.
first I believed, because generally believed in fairy tales.I was afraid that from under the bed pop out and grabbed me by the leg claw.I expected to see the roots of the trees a little rope, which are dried tiny jackets gnomes.
Then I grew up and got in touch with the occult.Mysterious World "Eastern" teachings of Mahatma, magic and "old" knowledge.All this is a reality.
And then I recovered, trained as a psychologist became a realist.But what do I see?The weight of my colleagues even got the most rigorous academic education, to preach selflessness different fairy tale!
Alas, psychology, and in the minds of the "average person" is often associated with something magical.Even if it's magic mimics a science: energy-channels egregors, bioinformatics field - impressive terms.
As it turned out, the "new thinking" - not fiction Michal Sergeevich Gorbachev, it is quite an ideological American invention.The invention, which brings a lot of money all the new generations "guru."
you want to test for membership in the outlook of the "new thinking"?
Here you have symptoms:
-
you tell people that "words are material."
-
you suspect that in a past life was a very important person.
-
Your dream - to go (or go back) to India.
-
You read several books of Osho.
-
Paulo Coelho very well help you to understand the world.
-
you know exactly what "Transerfing" is spelled with a "c", and that "this thing works."

-
you are going to "evolve" to the divine level.

-
you think that all religions - is the same, and most importantly, that in the shower.
-
you enjoy the films "The Secret" and "Zeitgeist" and the book "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari".
Well, and so on.If at least 3 of your sign ... everything else, too, yours.Congratulations, you - the media of "new thinking".
What's wrong with that?
There is something.
new thinking - version of the ideology of the New Age, which is the most socio-religious phenomenon, rather than a scientific paradigm or tradition.It's not psychology, and it is contrary to psychology as a science.Nothing to worry, but a practicing psychologist in the eyes of their customers and clients - the sage of the science of the human soul.The authoritative parental figure, if you will.
And here the danger of substitution and discredit the profession: the notorious "Psychologists have proved" already has a reputation throughout the science and profession.
attitudes, beliefs, faith - all this affects the health and success.But not through the "cosmic laws"!We do not know these cosmic "laws."Neither the scientific nor in the legal sense.
And enough to write (and say) with a capital letter: Harmony, the universe, the soul, happiness and spiritual development.
spiritually starved people prowling in search of spiritual teachers.Let's stay a - psychologists.Especially since nothing really spiritual, we can not give his "flock" - or we are not psychologists and gurus.
Here is our trap - we put in a position guru, but still give money.Do not fall!
Let flies separately, cutlets separately as well.And for the power-science insulting.Do not you hurt?
