The word Psychology derives from Greek roots that define the study of the psyche, or the study of the Soul. In China, Psychology grew from the philosophical works of Lao-Tsu and Confucius, and was further developed from the doctrines of Buddhism. This body of ancient knowledge involves exploring the deep insights that can be drawn from personal introspection and holding a pure observation of the external. These mental practices are what help to grow a strong inner core and spiritual foundation by developing observer consciousness. Ancient wisdom teachings are about practicing techniques for focused thinking and acting with an emphasis on purifying the mind, in order to increase the virtue and power of the Soul. Prior to the late 1800’s, the study of our inner mental life was the study of our Soul, and the inner workings of our deepest self or essence. This is the true meaning of Soul Psychology, a system of understanding, which allows for the necessary integration between the functions of the mind and the Soul, acknowledging and supporting the human consciousness framework into harmonious co-existence. Soul Psychology is an important tool for helping us to retrain our mind from being easily taken over by external forces and other people. We learn to refocus ourselves, to shape our mind to become subservient to our true Soul purpose, which makes us stronger people. For these reasons, Soul Psychology is an important basic key for supporting humanities consciousness growth in Spiritual Ascension. Becoming truly self-aware and conscious is dependent upon our ability to listen to and gain the intelligent wisdom of our own body, mind and soul. They will help to inform us about our true nature, so that we can consistently improve our internal Coherence and strengthen our moral character.
