Metaphysics

[pljames]

To me the mind is a enigma a mystery even might be a entity that is . Whatever the mystery "you are what you think" kjv. It would seem by that statement that you can draw positive or negitive to you. Your mind has a choice that you tell it to make. But the bottom line here seems to be...believe. It would seem that positive seems to be more important than negative. All by thought.

Drawing outside of ourselfs with a positive attitude has merits. Could that be self enduced well being? pl [size=12=pt][/size]

Where excatly is the psychology in this? It seems more relevant for a philosophy forum!

Thank you philosophy forum it is. pljames

Concerning the thread Metaphysics,
 I have been advised this thread belongs in a phiolosophy forums. So it has. I could not delete it. The program would not allow me to delete me. pl

Even metaphysics has to do with psychology. "The law of attraction". It's part of the mind (is it not)? I changed it to a philosophy forum. pl

Just because someone call themself pilot and wear a pilots uniform, doesn't nessesarily make them pilots.

Yes, indeed this is metaphysics but still I don't see how you fuse it as your OP's reasoning seems vague.

we dont have a philosphy forum and topics go were they are most relevant so as psychology does involve some theorising from time to time the general psychology forum is fine for this topic.

Indeed theory applies to all science branches, but usually it demands sound and rational reasoning, which I fail to see in OP's post.

I Always was under the impression Psychology is Philosophy that try's to use the scientific method but because the mind is not a Perfect Sphere it isn't that simple to nail down.  Psychology is more under the guise of Quantum Physics, we come up with pretty models, but every few years those models are shattered and replaced with newer models. 

Like Psychologists today say ESP isn't real when in fact it is and the only reason they do not perform a Study using DMT in it's relationship to ESP is because there is 1 a cover up and 2 most psychologists are taught to run away from the existence of GOD never mind ESP.  Psychology is not a real science "YET" because like quantum physics the mind is not a simple machine clockwork but instead more a fractal chaos that creates harmony and order.  I can not define the human mind, I can only define experience which is born out of Awareness. 

This is my understanding and like anything take it or leave it, I won't jam it down your throat because I have no Proof of ANYTHING I said, but it did sound pretty, to bad Psychology is NOT doing it's Job and seeing if ESP is in fact realated to DMT....WHICH IT IS

The mind definitely is mysterious and what really intrigues me regarding it is the fact that different parts of the brain are processing the same information inputs, at the same time, but differently, due to each respective area having different motivations for processing that info and different ways of understanding that info. Yet at the same time there is also being generated somehow the mind and it seems that it also has an influence over all of these processes of the brain, to the extent that the specific ways in which you think actually changes the ways that synapses form and change.
So in summation what intrigues me is the fact that both the brain and the mind exert this kind of influence over the course of the other. And then of course the other mystery is the fact that I see this room right now, but these images aren't located in the room. So this perception is occuring... where? Does it have a location?

Slinky sally,
It has to do with the now. Time and circumstances happen to us all "Quote".  We see the now regardless of where we think we are. The now is the moment, which is fleeting. pljames

I disagree with the idea that metaphysics doesn't belong in psychology. All too often, people tend to draw metaphysical conclusions from psychological research or ideas. These ideas can profoundly influence the direction of that person's further psychological inquiry, and so I think that a developed system of metaphysics will help direct and guide the scientific enterprise that modern psychology is. Also, the nature of psychology is such that often scientists go to great efforts to create operational definitions for concepts that mean so much more than the mere observable components that are tested, but it's not science if you can't take objective measures. Philosophy and psychology are inseperable.
I think it deserves at least one thread, at least as it pertains to psychology, otherwise I think Descartes would not be pleased...

There are 'scientists' and 'laymen'.  How much 'science' should laymen  learn? As much as they care to.
What I adopt from 'science' is the assumption of the submicroscopic level. (Said assumption is 100% correct; electronic technology is my proof.)
I recognize that our "thinking process" occurs beyond observation analogous to submicroscopic level of science. We see the 'effects' of the process as specific thoughts in consciousness.
We are influenced by unconscious thoughts without recognizing the thoughts. (moods and depression as examples.)
