Another Myth about the principles of the Ancient Eastern, and even more so about Buddhist meditations, practices of working with Koans, and in general about the practices of training in Zen, as well as about other spiritual practices practiced in Yoga, Qigong and others - Achieve during one or another exercise a complete absence of thoughts, emotions, especially from bright emotions, and in general - free yourself from Internal dialogue - that is, either completely destroy it, or take it as at least under complete control of everything irrational and any of its manifestations in the psyche of the practitioner. And this is declared by many ordinary people, as well as by some others, as supposedly the highest achievement for a practitioner, and what’s the saddest thing, and by many even well-promoted and thus supposedly “authoritative” psychologists, trainers, coaches and other “bearers of absolute truth” "What can I say about this, as a student, and as many rightly think about him, the most famous and authoritative hypnologist in Russia, a trainer in Ericksonian hypnosis, a doctor of psychological sciences, as well as a qigong instructor, and besides, of course and perfectly familiar with all known areas of Eastern spiritual practices. - Mikhail Romanovich Ginzburg? His figure is, of course, huge and great, especially for the world of domestic psychologists, and alas, he left us in this world relatively early, but he left behind a very significant mark, both the memory of him, and his trainings, and his rich wealth that he passed on to his students and multifaceted knowledge, experience, humor, etc. So, what can I say on the above topic? This is, of course, a deep misconception. Neither Buddhist practices nor psychotherapy have ever strived for full awareness of everything unless there is an urgent need for it. And it is not always possible to realize this in principle, in totality. But what seems inexpressible or too complex and inaccurate at the level of consciousness can be felt, including emotionally, that is, unconsciously.© Because the Unconscious, in comparison with consciousness, is like the Ocean in comparison with one drop water. Therefore, it is not only impossible for a person to realize everything, 100% of what happens in his own unconscious. And this can become increasingly clear when the practitioner has a more practical understanding of the structure of his human psyche and the relationship between the arrays of what he has realized about himself, in comparison with what remains unconscious, but nevertheless works perfectly without any awareness. Therefore, in the same way Attempts to present emotions as something completely comprehensible by nature, and even more so the ability to edit them arbitrarily or turn them off, can also look pathetic. They only flatter the possibilities in this regard for a person. Humanity, even now, is still far from being at the stage of its development to even understand how this could be done at the level of neuron functioning. Except for lobotomy, of course. But for the latter method, the consequences for the mental health of the individual have been very well studied and are known to us. Similar operations, by the way, were also proposed with similar, very good intentions, in order to directly “edit” the psyche, with a banal intervention of a scalpel in the brain. But alas, something went wrong with the lobotomy... Amazing and life-giving non-emptiness to everyone, while observing the elevation of your thoughts, in your good, healing trance. And of course, you can always improve your condition. Delicious and without a lobotomy.
