There are many psychological theories. Psychological theories can
be divided into the theories on the methods of counselling and those on
psychotherapy. But, so far, there has been no psychological theory that could
prove the system and standard of psychological operation. To establish a
psychological theory, there should be no logical contradictions in analyzing
and understanding human psychology and it should also be systematic. The theory
should comply with the reality, and most psychological operations should be
explained with a limited number of variables. It should also be proved with
scientific evidence and religious interpretations. That way, a psychological
theory must be simple, yet it should be able to be applied to interpret and
prove all activities of human psychology.
The importance of a psychological theory is that it provides the
rule and standard with which one can analyze and interpret the human
relationship and it also enables us to diagnose psychological disorders and
develop the treatments. A psychological theory especially can influence various
fields of study such as philosophy, politics, economics, sociology, art,
culture and counselling, and the understanding of human psychology can be
acquired through this psychological standard.
A human being comprises body and mind. Comparing a human being to a
computer, body is the hardware and mind is the software. In case of a computer,
the hardware and the software function independently, and they don’t affect each other
technically. On the other hand, when humans think, speak and act as social
beings, their body and mind interact and affect each other mutually. It may be nonsensical to compare a human being to a
computer, and this comparison is only for understanding the concept of human
mind and psychology.
Humans' ‘hardware’ can include external and
internal organs, cells, and DNA, and ‘software’ can be
human mind, which operate the functions of human psychology. Without the
software, a computer itself is nothing but a mere piece of metal, and the software cannot function without the hardware. Hence, a
computer can only function with both hardware and software. In the same way,
human body and mind co-exist as one unit and they never work independently.
Medical science and science mostly study the human body while philosophy,
psychoanalysis and psychology must study the interactions of human body and
mind.
For a computer, if the hardware is broken, the computer cannot work
even if the software is working. If the
hardware is working when the software is malfunctioning, then the computer also
becomes useless. Likewise, even if human mind is well-functioning, when there
is a disease in the body, human mind becomes less effective in operation, and
with psychological malfunctioning, a healthy body will be affected by
psychological disorders. Since human body and mind are in one unit, when there
is a problem in the body, there is always subsequent psychological issues, and
psychological issues affect the physical state with some possible bodily
sickness. Henceforth, a psychological theory should be studied with the
understanding that human body and mind co-exist and co-operate, and any problem
in one area always affect the other.
Medical science and natural science prove their theories according
to their own clear standard of the human body. Religion evolves with its faith
based on its own scripture. But philosophy and psychology have been relatively
slow in the progress due to the lack of a firm and proven standard of human
psychology. There have been many obstacles in discovering the nature of the
human being due to this difficulty of the integration of the three major fields
of modern studies and the creation of theories and counter-theories. Once the
standard of psychology is erected, the treatment for psychological disorders
can be developed. Analyzing the correlation between body and mind will
immensely help progress the treatment of physical diseases and analyzing the
relations between psychology and religion will fortify the faith of religion.
By simply proving that the mind is the crux of human psychology, connections
can be made amongst various fields of studies. For the above reasons,
establishing the hypothesis of the Theory of Mimind is absolutely pivotal.
The Theory of Mimind interprets the working of the consciousness
and unconsciousness in one’s mind, and the principles of how the psychology of perception,
memory and expression can be operated by mind, and thereby can analyze most psychological phenomena. Thus, it can be said that human
psychology can be operated by human mind. By setting up seven hypotheses of the
Theory of Mimind, it was possible to analyze the operations of the psychology
of perception, memory and expression, and to develop a psychological theory.
With these seven hypotheses, we also applied the theory to our
clinical cases to verify their logicality, systemicity, and consistency for the
purpose of analyzing and understanding human psychological phenomena based on
the Theory of Mimind.
Here are the seven hypotheses of the Theory of Mimind; firstly, it is the hypothesis regarding the frame of human mind.
Human mind comprises the consciousness and unconsciousness. Secondly, human
mind and psychology are different. Human mind comprises the consciousness and
unconsciousness and human psychology works through perception, memory and
expression connecting to the human body. Thirdly, it is about the difference
between a male and a female on their different operations of the mind.
Fourthly, it is the difference of memory between a male and a female, meaning a
male hardly recalls his emotion whereas a female does so. Fifthly, the
hypothesis on the pursuit of different happiness, a male pursues the future happiness and a female, the present happiness. Sixthly, it is
self-actualization. A male runs for the value of life whereas a female seeks
the meaning of life. The last hypothesis is about the difference between stress
and wounds. A male tries to get rid of stress and a female tries to heal
wounds.
These hypotheses aim to analyze human psychology and verify the
theory of psychology. In doing so, we applied them into our clinical cases of
treating psychological disorders. And we observed the accuracy of different
operations of the mind and psychology of a male and a female. The Theory of
Mimind is purely psychological in nature in the sense that it only explains the
principles of how human mind and psychology operate and there are not
necessarily any supporting medical or scientific verifications or evidence that
will help analyze how psychology affects physiology. Therefore, further medical
research to support the theory of Mimind is needed.
Hypothesis
1. The make-up of human mind
The first hypothesis of the Theory of Mimind is on the make-up of
human mind. Everyone has their mind, but we hardly know how human mind is
structured. We only have a vague idea. Thus, we hypothesized that the human
mind comprises consciousness and unconsciousness, and that the unconsciousness
comprises habits and the energy of mind.
Habits are triggered by the energy of mind and operate according to regular patterns. When habits are at work, one is
consciously aware of the recalled memory or the external information combined
with emotions. Human mind, therefore, controls the consciousness and
unconsciousness.
Hypothesis
2. Human mind and psychology are different.
Traditional theories view human mind and psychology as the same.
Since they equate the operation of human psychology with the mind, much
research has been done regarding human psychology, but not so much on human
mind. This lack of research regarding human mind requires incessant development
of new psychological theories. The Theory of Mimind hypothesizes this
difference between human mind and psychology.
Mind has the consciousness and unconsciousness, processes human
psychology, and controls it. Human psychology also comprises perception, memory
and expression. Perception works when human mind perceives the external
information. Memory functions when the external information is stored, or the
recalled information is recognized consciously within human mind. Expression is
at work when one expresses mind externally or internally. Therefore, we have
perception disorder, memory disorder and expression disorder.
Hypothesis 3. Male and female have different
mind.
The mind of male and female function differently. As the conscious
and unconscious part of mind work, the unconscious part of mind of male and
female also work differently, and therefore, the psychology of male and female
are different.
Male’s
unconsciousness tries to remove stress from his moods by his mind energy based
on habits, and that of female tries to heal her wounds from her feelings by her
mind energy. Thus, male and female have distinctive psychology of perception,
memory and expression.
Hypothesis
4. Male and
female have different memory of emotion.
Male and female remember their emotions
differently. According to hypothesis 3, the mind of man and woman operate
differently, and so do their psychologies. Based on the psychology of memory,
man and woman remember their emotion in different ways. Man removes his
negative moods and consumes the positive moods in his consciousness, and
therefore does not remember any of his emotion. Woman consumes the positive
feelings in her consciousness and remembers the negative feelings in order to
treat them.
Hypothesis
5. Male and female pursue different happiness.
Male and female pursue different happiness. For man, he feels only
moods, and he is not able to sense feelings, and therefore pursues the future
happiness, whereas for woman, she has feelings, and therefore pursues the
present happiness.
Man tries to generate positive moods continuously so that he can sense his positive
moods in the future. That is how he pursues the future happiness. Woman
transforms negative feelings into the void state of feelings, and then creates
the sense of happiness. That is how woman pursues the present happiness.
Hypothesis
6. Male and
female achieve self-actualization differently
Man and woman fulfil their self-actualization differently in their
relationships. Man, while pursuing the future happiness with passion, seeks the
value of certain objects, whereas woman, while pursing the present happiness
with love, seeks the meaning of a relationship.
When man seeks the value of certain objects rather than other
humans, he will pursue economic value, relational value, or social value. That
would be the goal for their happiness. Woman will acquire the meaning of life
while sensing the happiness with others. Thus, man’s self-actualization is to seek value, and that
of woman is to seek meaning.
Hypothesis
7. Stress and wounds are different.
Stress and wounds are different. Stress is the negative moods
generated through the stimulation of sensory organs at the present time. Wounds
are created in the process of dealing with stress and stored as negative
feelings.
With man’s moods
and mind energy, he tries to remove stress, and woman, with her feelings and
mind energy, tries to heal her wounds caused by stress.
Stress is the negative moods that work in man’s mind and psychology, and wounds are the
negative feelings that work in woman’s mind and psychology.
