If it is said that people always have to die, this is an eternal truth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I believe that no one will object.

However, many emperors and generals in history, people who learned Taoism, and ordinary people ......

have explored the method of "immortality".

From the point of view of modern science, this is really a superstition that goes against science.

But even so, there are still some scientists who try to develop drugs that "live forever".

It can be seen that people are so obsessed with immortality.

Here, it is irrelevant to discuss whether people can live forever.

What matters is the origin of this idea.

And what important role this thinking plays in psychology.

If we want to explore the causes of the belief in "immortality", it is not difficult to believe.

It only takes a little recall to know that when people are young, the concept of death is vague.

Even if the scene of someone's death was in front of him, he might not know what it meant.

So it can be concluded that the origin of the belief in immortality comes from the state of mind at a young age.

This belief exists only in the eyes of the vast majority of people at an early age.

By adulthood, it ceases to exist.

However, this is not the case.

Adults have this belief in immortality, but it has become subconscious, and it makes it impossible for him to perceive.

The reason why people are dismissive of the idea of "immortality" is that the consciousness education they approach is much stronger than that of young children; But subconscious instinctive beliefs don't go away.

Because of this, even if the tragic scene of a car accident is played a thousand times in real life, it cannot stop people from driving boldly and even indulgently.

On the battlefield, the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers are often praised.

And the timid and afraid of death are ridiculed.

But don't be too disparaging about the faint-hearted, they are not born timid.

Rather, their belief in immortality was brought to consciousness by some unexpected event, and it became clear.

Lost the fearlessness of the subconscious.

Heroic and fearless are not completely afraid of death, but their belief in immortality is relatively strong.

As Sigmund Freud once said, "Man either does not believe in death, or subconsciously thinks that he is immortal." ”

Those people with mental illness who feel pessimistic and misanthropic, miserable, and live like years are not really afraid of death; Quite the opposite, but the fear of death.

Just like a depressed person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, on the surface, he has no love, but his real cause is the fear of death.

This analysis process has been described in detail earlier.

To present it again with relatively simple logic, it is:

Because the personality of a person is made up of the personality of the parents.

So, first of all, it is necessary to divide his pessimism and compulsion in two.

Pessimism represents his mother's sorrow; The forced attack represented his father's irritability.

Because his mother had a shady affair, if this incident came to light, his mother would not be sad, and his father would be angry and aggressive.

caused him to develop obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

If the mother is pessimistic and sad, or even despairing, the father will sympathize with him and give up the attack.

So, at this time, he will be in a depressive state rather than an obsessive-compulsive state.

The conflict between these two personalities is hidden and universal.

As long as it is not stimulated, there will be no depression and compulsion.

It was only because of the "accidental reminder" of an outsider that he diverted his instinct to "go his own way"; very incidentally shifted to parental quarrels; made him aware of the emotional crisis of his parents; Most of the psychological energy is transferred to the feelings of the parents; to induce his depression and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

And this "accidental reminder" has an earlier and more primitive prototype.

It was at an early age that his mother suddenly encountered the threat of death from the outside world, and it was at that time that his instinctive resistance was suddenly diverted or suppressed by a "casual reminder"; and had to compromise with the aggressors, to give in to their acts of death and destruction; and absorbing too much of the concept of death; Formation of self-sabotage.

So, his initial instinct was brave and fearless, but he was accidentally suppressed and became compromised with death-destroying behavior.

The result of the compromise retrospectively induces pessimism and depression.

And "compromise death" can be understood as a kind of "fear of death".

For those with death obsessive-compulsive disorder, the terrifying images that often appear in their minds are only compromises and fears of death.

They are often very concerned and interested in those natural and man-made disasters, and they will rejoice in their own safety when they see others suffering.

In fact, it was also the instinctive resistance that was accidentally suppressed, and the threat of death that was originally what he wanted to resist was projected onto others.

Deflect the fear of death.

Of course, this fear of death is not innate, but is caused by the accidental suppression of instinctive resistance.

Some scholars, however, regard the fear of death as a universal phenomenon and the ultimate cause.

In that case, the experience of a person with mental illness is fundamentally different from that of ordinary people; There is no way to explain why people with mental illness get sick.

This analysis may be a bit complicated. So, let's take some everyday examples to see what the importance of "immortal faith" is.

As mentioned earlier, mental illness is often associated with death just because of some minor physical ailments, such as a cold.

Or gasping for breath after strenuous exercise can also be linked to death.

If this movement had been carried out in submission to the outside world, he would rather give his life to them than bear the difficulty of breathing.

He may even feel more secure in this life-like compromise than in breathlessness.

And here again, the question of "breathing" returns.

"Breathing" and "compromise" contain microsecond personality adhesion.

This is the initial tipping point between normalcy and pathology.

It has been elaborated on in detail before, so I will not repeat it here.

The extreme fear and sensitivity of people with mental illness to ghosts and gods is actually a compromise and fear of death.

Because ghosts and gods are always associated with death.

Therefore, the contents of the two volumes, "Psychology and Body" and "The Theory of Gods and Demons", all point to one goal - the belief in immortality.

It's not that the two are superficially unrelated.

Even the physical condition of terminally ill patients is related to the "belief in immortality".

Because the "belief in immortality" is closest to human instinct, and instinct is almost equivalent to the "immunity" of the human body.

Both are innate.

Therefore, some terminally ill patients inexplicably get better and even recover after giving up treatment; Perhaps there is a hidden connection with this "belief in immortality".

But, then again, it is easier said than done to restore a certain level of "immortal faith".

Today's knowledge and education are so advanced that it is impossible for people to "not die".

Therefore, it can only be traced back to the most distant memory, and restored to the period when he was most closely connected with his mother and had the weakest hints to the outside world.

Of course, these views are not about whether people die or not, which is irrelevant; It's just this innate belief that matters. (To be continued.) )
