аааааааа We
are now living at the dawn of a new era in the
development of
minkind when standing exteremely acutely before
man are the
problems of self-cognition, of creative development
both of himself
and the world around him.
аааааа What
kind of persons shall we enter the third
millenium?
Expansion of the boundaries of human consciousness,
search for a new
style of thinking, activity and spiritual
life that would
be adequate to the new age, - these are the
problems exciting
every thinking individual.
ааааааа Mastering
the art of self-observation, self-cognition
and self-development
is, in our view, one of the possible ways
to the solution
of these problems. The present Multimedia
Psychoplayer
"Mind's Mysteries" is an tool that might help You
master this art
and find Your Personal image and activity
style , which
would provide You with maximum comfort today and
well into the
third millenium!
а
а
аааа The
"Mind's Mysteries" opens up a new class of multimedia
plays in the DOS/WINDOWS
on AT 80#86 personal computers - the
plays aimed at
theа cognition and development of one's
psychological
abilities, at enhancing one's intellectual and
physical working
capacity.
ааа The
Multimedia Psychoplayer "Mind's Mysteries" is Your key
to success in
Your everiday activity, business andа human
relationship!
ааа Serving as
scientific basis for this class of plays is
the synthesis of
advanced psychological knowledge and the latest
information
technologies.
ааа The "Mind's
Mysteries"-Psychoplayer imitates, by means of
artificial
intelligence, seances of psychological consulting
which the authors
have been conducting for a period of several
years at the
Psychosomatic Department of SKLIFOSOFSKY
SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE at Moscow,
Russia, as well
as in private practice.
ааа The plays
use elements of the original authors' methods
(techniques)
licensed by Russian Federation Patent, as well as
the original play
modifications of some psychodiagnostic
methods proved to
be effective in practice.
ааа But! We
would like to emphacize especially that the Mind's
Mysteries"
is NOT a special system for professional
psychologists and
psychotherapeutists. It is a home multimedia
PSYCHOPLAY
COLLECTION accessible to EVERY personal computer
user.
а
ааа We hope
that every owner of the Mind's Mysteries will be
able to get for
him-/herself a necessary understanding,
aid and support
from the Computer Therapeutists whom he/she
will meet in this
Play.
ааа They are
always glad to see You in the "Mind's Mysteries"!
ааа Their
pretty secretary will help You get registered and
provide a
reliable protection of Your data from an
unsanctioned
access.
ааа Your own
Computer psychotherapeutists are always ready to
receive You. They
love You and take Your problems as their own!
а
ааа At
Professor Freud's, You can make a research into the "Depths
of Your
Subconsciousness" and understand the psychological
meaning of Your
most mysterious dreams. His charming assistant
- Miss Irina -
will discuss the problems of interpersonal
relationship with
You and give You useful advice and recommen-
dation. The ever
optimistic Doctor Yevgeny will help measure
the Level of
"Psychic Energy" and enhance Your
stress-resistance.
recommendations.
а
ааа An
elaborated system of operations with the Data Base
enables You to
keep a Personal and Family Archive of
Psychodiagnostic
Data. If need be, with the aid of Your
Computer
psychotherapeutists You can build up Plots of time
dynamics of
Psychometric data. It is very interesting, indeed!
ааа Special
operations of data export and import will let You
carry out a
psychometric data exchange between those who use
аthe "Mind's
Mysteries", e.g. with the purpose of a directed
search of a
partner by interpersonal relationship, i.e. Your
would-be friend,
lover, or even marriage-mate!
ааа For a
curious and keen user, our Multimedia Psychoplayer
will reveal the
depths and mysteries of human psychics which
were previously
unaccessible to him/her. He/she will acquire not
only an
instrument of self-cognition, but also of
self-perfection,i.e.
of unravelling and actualization of all
his/her personal
abilities.
а
ааа This and
much more else is designed for You in the
MULTIMEDIA
PSYCHOPLAYER "MYSTERIES OF THE MIND".
ааа In the
third millenium, Man must assimilate the special
techniques of
self-cognition and self-regulation, which would
help Him overcome
the nervous and emotional overloads and provide
Him with maximum
comfort in life. And it cannot be otherwise,
with the XXI
century being on the threshold. The kind of persons
we enter it, the
kind of age it will be. "Yhe Mysteries of the
Mind" is
Your key to mastering the living style of the new era.
ааа We
sincerely hope that in the third millenium our children
will be living in
a humane society. We wish you happiness and
success in life!

process of using this PSYCHOPLAYER there arise
questions or
advice on Your part having relation to psychology,

а
ааа We look
forward gratefully to Your remarks and suggestions,
which we are
going to consider while preparing the next version
of the
PSYCHOPLAYER.
а
а
а
а
ааа Hallo! We
are sincerely glad to meet You.
ааа I am
Barbara, Your computer secretary. I will help You to
understand,
quickly and easily how to use The Psychoplayer
"Mind's
Mysteries".
ааа To be able
to successfully interact with the system You
must first get
registered.
ааа //
llustration - Registration Screen with Secretary//
/ / + Text from
HELP on the purpose of Keys onа Screen/
ааа After
Registration You are assigned a Data Base sector
which You may use
independently of other users of the
system (for
instance, Your family members or friends).
ааа In order
to provide for the secrecy of the data, introduce
and memorize well
Your individual password!
а
аа Your
computer system offers You the services of three
Computer
Psychcotherapeutists.
аа The main of
them is Professor Freud. With his assistance
You can
understand the most enigmatic mysteries of Your
subconsciousness.
It was exactly Professor Freud who helped me
to get rid of an
unpleasant dream that has for a long time
prevented me from
sleeping well.
ааа But, to
tell You the secret, our Professor is very busy
with his
scientific research. You will soon see it for Yourself.
He is constantly
reading scientific books. They say he is
developing some
amazing programs for the next version of the
"Mind's
Mysteries" - the programs that would heal one's heart
like a miraculous
balm!
ааа But, let
people say what they like. Time will show what it
is all about.
Meanwhile, the Professor, in view if his being busy,
a, often
recommends his patients, after his seance, to turn to his
assistants - Miss
Irina and Doctor Yevgeny - and together with them,
look into his
intricate Conclusions.
ааа To be
sure, the Professor is an Authority. But, I should
tell you, his
Assistants are also the best among computer
psychotherapeutists.
Each of them is a specialist in his/her
field.
ааа Miss Irina
is charming and mysterious! So says Doctor
Yevgeny, and many
come to agree with him. Miss Irina will help
You understand
deeper Yourself and other people. Everyone
knows how
difficult this sometimes is. When I find myself in
a difficulty, I
come to Doctor Irina and she can always find
the necessary
words, after which one begins to see life in a
new light - from
its better side. Once she helped me to find a
person who became
my ideal. She can really work wonders, but
for a miracle to
happen, one has to think much and work on him-/
herself. As far
as I am concerned,things here still leave much
to be desired.
ааа But as to
Doctor Yevgeny ... There seem to exist no
problems for him!
Everything is clear, easy and obvious. In a
аmatter of some
minutes he can tell You what is going on in
Your nervous
system: what its activity and stress level is,
what the rate of
Your reaction and Your psychoemotional tonus
is, etc., etc. I
like his seances very much. His
recommendations
help me, and he has a wonderful music to one's
heart's content.
His anecdotes are making me a little bit bored,
though. But many
people still like them. Doctor Yevgeny calls this
Laughter-Therapy,
and he personally promised me to change its
repertoire from
time to time.
ааа I venture
to hope You will excuse my being a little
too outspoken,
but it seems to me You were intrigued.
ааа Interacting
with our computer program is on the whole an
interesting and
pleaant occupation. Soon You Yourself will become
convinced in it.
For the time being, however, try to memorize
the following
simple rules.
ааа Each
computer psychotherapeutist uses one or several of
the so-called
Multimedia Psychoplaying Techniques. Each
technique
includes two modes: Psychometry and Consultation.
ааа In the
Psychometry mode measurements of certain
parameters of
Your psychoemotional state are made. This is
very easy!
ааа You are
offered an original and interesting psychological
game and
instructions of how to play it. Strictly following
the instructions,
You play and...always win! What do I win,
You may ask. Go
ahead playing and You will learn!
аа In the mode
of Consultation, You may choose one or several
Psychometric data
Records, i.e. the results of Your game
obtained earlier.
And then, together with the Computer
Psychotherapeutist,
analyze their meaning and make the
proper
conclusions. What Conclusions? Well, for instance,
about how Your
psychormotional condition has been changing
during the week
when Your distant relatives unexpectedly
arrived to stay
with You. Or...
аа No, no more
examples here. Play and You will get plenty of
examples from
life. By the way, each Psychomrtric data Record
can be commented
upon so as in future not to forget the event
it is connected
with. I always do si. It is convenient and
interesting. In
so doing You are creating an Archive of events
and Your
psychoemotional reactions to them.
the event with
which is it is connected.

а
а
ааааа The
system provides for ample opportunities for keeping
Personal and
Family (collective) Data Base Archives.
ааа By making
a selection of the Data Base Function, You get
an access to Your
Psychometric data, brought into order by the
titles of the
Psychoplay techniques and dates of creation.
ааа You can
also get access to the data open to all the
customers-users,
e.g. to expert assessments of the style of
interpersonal
relationships of personages of the classic
literature, and
also to those data which some other user of
Your sustem will
allow You to see.
ааа The data
selected in the Archive can be looked through,
eliminated,
commented upon, etc.
ааа You also
have an opportunuty, by means of the
Export/Import
operations, to carry out data exchange with
users of the
Multimedia Psychoplayer 'Mind's Mysteries"that is
installed on
other computers. This is especially important for
the work with the
Technique of"Personal Space" which is employed
by Miss Irina.
аааа To
provide for the secrecy of Your Personal Archive, it
is necessary to
remember Your individual password which You
have introduced
during the primary registration. If You have
forgotten it, the
data will be inaccessible to You.
аааа Though,
one of the customers of the system is endowed
with special
rights - it is the Superuser. He, as the license
holder, can
exclude any other user from the Data Base. Even
the Superuser,
however, cannot analyze other people's data by
means of the
Computer Therapeutists.
ааа So,
through the use of function of the Data Base Archive
You can ...

а
ааа Come to
our Psychoplayer "The Mysteries of the Mind". We ****
are always glad
to see You. When You come, I merely getааааа *эпигрф*
enlivened!ааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааа
а
а
а
а
ааа Let me
introduce myself. I am Professor Freud - Your main
computer
psychotherapeutist. Try, as deeply as You can, to
comprehend what I
'll be telling You.
а
а The
psychological Techniques offered You in the "Mysteries of
the Mind"
are not designed for making any medical diagnoses.
а
Neither are they
by any means designed for formulating clinical
conclusions about
Your or anyone else's psychological
condition1
а
а The "Mysteries
of the Mind" is but a psychological game
first aim is the
mastering of the art of self-cognition, the
understanding of
one's own problems as well those of other
people.
аа Our second
aim is, on the basis of Self-cognition, to
implement
positive changes leading to the Person's
self-perfection.
аа Our third
aim is to exert a positive influence on other
people and change
the human world for the better.
а
а
аааа By means
of this Psychoplay Technique we together shall try
to analyze the
leading tendencies and needs hidden in the
depths of Your
subconsciousness that exert an influence on
Your behavior and
condition.
аааа To do
this, You are to try and recall a dream that is of
significance to
You, i.e. a dream that got You disturbed,
or merely got You
interested, but You cannot understand its
meaning
completely.
аааа If You
cannot remember such a dream, but have a vague
feeling of alarm
or an indistinct presentiment of something,
and want to
understand its meaning, it is necessary to give
аYour
subconsciousness the following command:а "Now I'll
close my eyes and
see my vanished dream. It will emerge from
the depths of my
subconsciousness and give an answer to the
questions
disturbing me".
аааа So, You
have already understood that the object of
research in the"
Subliminal Color-Projections" Tecnnic is Your
dreams as well as
some of Your not quite realized inner needs ,
tensions and
tendencies of Your Person, promptingа You to
perform certain
acts in life.
аааа My
experience has shown that Dreams are a divine way toа ****
the subconscious.
It is not by accident that in ancient Egypt ****
they would say:
"God has created dreams in order to show the **эпигрф**
sleeper, whose
eyes are in the dark, his way..."
аааа According
to my theory, in the process of sleeping, all
the systems of
the brain turn into the state of
self-regulation,
i.e. autonomous and harmonious functioning in
which the
excessive psychoemotional tensions get transformed,
along weird
assotiative chains, into the form of dreams-images.
аааа Hence, a
dream is a symbolic message in the form of images
encoded by the
brain and sent to the owner, - it is a message
about what he/she
is, and an evaluation of the problem situation
аhe/she is him-/herself
in.
аааа During
our seances we shall try to uncover, in a most
general way, the
psychological motives of Your dream, i.e. the
needs,
contradictions and tendencies in the development of Your
Person encoded in
it. But I would like to specially emphacize
that only You
Yourself, with the aid of my Conclusions, will
be able to
decipher Your dreams in full measure and make a
conclusion about
Your behavior in a concrete situation.
а
аааа The
Tecnic of Subliminal Color-Projections resembles a
game. It is very
simple and convenient.а To start a
seance, choose
mode PSYCHOMETRY or mode INTRODUCTION on
the computer
display.
а
аааа Then
make a comfortable seat. It is desirable that the
room be silent
and darkened and that nobody could bother You
for some ten or
fifteen minutes.
а
аааа Put Your
one hand by the computer keyboard so that it would
be easy for You
to press the 'Carriage' key or click the left
button of the
'mouse'-manipulator, and answer my question,
please:
а
аааа Did You
recall a dream of interest to You or at least
some fragment of
it?
а
а //
Illustration:а TWO ALTERNATIVE BUTTONS ON THE DISPLAY:
ааааааааааааааааааааааа
"YES"ааааа "NO"а //.
а
аааа Then
close Your eyes and listen to my voice only. You
will be hearing
only my voice! And then from the absolute dark
there will start
emerging diffused lines, contours, objects,
images. It is a
message from Your Subconscious. It will be
growing ever more
and more distinct...
а
ааа At this
moment, without opening Your eyes, be answering
my questions
aloud and mentally. Do what I am telling
You. You will be
acting in Your dreams as if in real life.
Remember - this
You will manage!
а
ааа I shall
repeat and You,shall memorize. So, I'll be
аconsequtively
putting questions to which You are, without opening
your eyes, to
give an answer. When You are ready for the next
question, You may
press the left button of the 'mouse' or of the
Carriage on the
keyboard. You may do without it, though,
for I myself know
when I should act and what question I should
ask.
а
ааа At the
stage of going out of the dream, the most important
thing is to fix
the feelings and sensations with which You are
coming back to
reality after the following words of mine:
ааа "...
one.., two.., three!а Open Your eyes".
а
ааа At this
stage of the Psychoplay, a testing field will
appear before You
on whichа COLOR MAPS will be laid out.
ааа Give an
attentive glance to these maps and they will
unravel the
mystery of Your subconsciousness. One of these maps
will seem
especially attractive to You because of its color.
Show it to me
with the aid of the 'mouse'-manipulator.
ааа The card
to which You are pointing will turn its other
side to You.
ааа Look at
the rest of the colors. Which one will appear most
attractive to You
now? Show me this card...
аа Keep on
doing it until all the eight cards are turned upside
down.
ааа Then I
will make analysis of our seance. To get
acquainted with
my conclusion, please, press the corresponding
key and try to
think, as deeply as You can, over the message
that came to You
from the depths of Your subconscious.
ааа Perhaps,
not only the meaning of this particular dream,
but also the
meaning of Your desires and acts will be seen by
You in a new
light. For becoming aware of the hidden source of
one's problems is
a true way to their solution.
а
ааа If, on the
whole, You agree with the Conclusion you have
received, it will
be useful for You also to take into
consideration my
Recommendations which You can get by
pressing the
respective key.
ааа If, on the
other hand, it seems to You that the message
from the
subconscious has been distorted, i.e. is by no means
corresponding to
the realities of Your life, it will mean that
Your
subconsciousness' resistance is still too strong for it
to be opened up
to You in full measure.
ааа But do not
get upset anyway! Proceed with Your seances, and
with each new
one, You will be able to plunge into Your
subconsciousness
ever deeper and deeper, until eventually
the truth that
has been concealed opens to You.
а
ааа As we come
to know each other better, You are sure to want
to recall and
analyze the results of our seances. This can be
done quite easily.
Choose the 'Subliminal Color-Projectins'
Technique. Point
to mode of CONSULTATION.
ааа This
brings You automatically to the Field of Record
selection from
the Data Base. In this field You can scan the
records
containing the named psychometric data of the
Subliminal Color-Projection
including the following record
fields;
а
аа date ofаааа
I time ofаааа I customer's I customer'sа I
аа psychometry
I psychometry I requisites I commentaries I
а
ааа Let me
remind that in the Commentaries to any Record You
can install any
information necessary and important forа You.
For example, You
may briefly describe the contents of the dream
or apparition You
have been analyzing in this seance.
ааа In this
Technique,through the scanning procedure, You can mark
only one record
of interest to You , and I, Professor Freud, am
certain to reveal
its psychological meaning to You.
ааа In this
way, You can get my Conclusions and Recommendations
in relation to
any record of the Color-Projections data You
are interested
in, if only it is in Your Data Base.
а
ааа To end my
seance, press the key of RETURN and You will get
back to our
lovely secretary.
ааа Good-bye!
Your Professor Freud is waiting for You hoping
to be of service
to You already today and in the third
millenium.
а
а
а
а
а
ааа "Others
and Myself" is a world of Your attitudes - towards
Yourself, towards
other people, and also of their attitude to
You.
ааа The sum-
total of these attitudes forms the External system
of the Person's
life activity. It is the world of Personality,
it isYour
Person's space.
аааа The
system of such Personal spaces creates the World of
Human
Relationship. This world, like the Outer Space, has its
own galaxies,
stars, planets, satellites, meteorites and even
"black holes".
аааа This
world is as versatile and infinitely complicated as
the Outer Space
as it is a part of it which is isomorphic to
the whole.
аааа The
Realm of human relationship has its own laws of
development
incorporated into in the general Law of Cosmic Evolution.
а
аааа
I, as princess-frog from Russian fairy tale, shall help
you to overcome difficult vital situations, to carry out your
treasured
desires
and magic transformation of the person. Together, You and I, will
try to understand and, if possible, to make an impact on this
World and ourselves as its inhabitants. The Person, as part of
the Universe, is capable of exerting influence on its own
Personal space, on the space of
other people and
even on the entire process of cosmic evolution.
ааа For Man is
a part of God. As one of the principles of the
Roman Law states,
"Homo res sacra",i.e. Man is a sacred being!
Those who agree
with this principle should come to me. I, Miss
Irina, will help
You understand the mysteries and laws of the
development of
the Person.
а
а
а
а
ааааа The
purpose of the Computer psychoplay technique
"RELATIONSHIPS
IN COLOR" is to help You understand Your inner
sensations and
actions in relationship with other people. Also,
and this is most
important, You will receive useful psychological
Recommendations.
аааааа These
Recommendations, depending on the situation You
are in, will help
You find an optimal mechanism of Your
Person's Self-regulation.
ааааа I hope
that my Recommendations will enable You to obtain
maximum
psychological comfort in any circumstances, even the
most difficult
ones.
ааааа The
"RELATIONSHIPS IN COLOR " is a very easy technique. If
You have any
problems in the sphere of interpersonal
relationship but
cannot understand their causes, select the
mode of
PSYCHOMETRY, please.
ааааа Then,
following the instruction which I will remind You
of start making
consecutive choices of the color samples offered
to You on the
screen of the monitor.
ааааа In
order to obtain a more accurate result, try choosing
Your color
without thinking too long but rather obeying the
intuitively
arising first feeling.
аааа Preference
should be given to the color shade which
today, at this
very moment, seems to be most attractive to You,
in accordance
with Your intuitive inner inclination.
аааа After
You have completed Your choice-making, I shall try
to help You
understand the hidden psychological causes of Your
emotions and the
actions You have recently been taking.
ааа For this,
as You have done in the previous Computer
Psychoplay
Techniques, please press the key RECOMMENDATIONS.
ааа You, my
dear penetrating friend, can certainly
understandа that
by means of several colored cards it is
impossible to
explain all the mysteries of the human Soul. Your
soul is a
Universe, infinitely complicated and varied.
ааа Yet, in
pursuance of our main objective, about which the
head computer
psychotherapeutist, Professor Freud, has been talking,
viz., mastering
the special techniques of self-regulation, I
would still
recommend You to make an effort and think over my
Conclusions
taking my Recommendations into consideration.аааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааа
аааа Remember
- I sincerely want to help You!
аааа As with
the other Techniques, after the seance is ended, it
is always useful
to make comments on the psychometric data
Record. Trough
this, by means of the CONSULTATION mode, You
will be able,
with time, to be capable of analyzing the cause and
effect of Your
behavior in the sphere of interpersonal relationship
ever more and
more accurately. Also, You will be able to assess
the efficacy of
my Recommendations.
а
а
ааа With the
aid of this computer psychoplay technique, You can
discover and
explore the world in which Your Person is born,
living,
developing and... never dying.
ааа We shall,
starting from very simple phenomena and to
complex ones, be
successively re-creating the structure of
Your Person's
Galaxy - the Galaxy where the star of the first
magnitude is Your
Person.
а
ааа To begin
with, I am going to introduce You to the base
technology of
creating and exploring Your "Personal space".
а
а
а
4.3.1.а Creation
of Records (of Psychometric Productions)
ааа With the
help of the base technology You can create and
investigate the
psychometric portrait of any person whom You
know well. This
may be the Person really existing in the
surrounding world.
For instance, You Yourself, Your relative,
friend,
acquaintance, neighbor, etc.
ааа It may be
an ideal Person,i.e. the Person existing in Your
imagination or,
to put it differently, in Your inner world.
For example, an
ideal image of Yourself, i.e. the image of
the person You
want to be like in the future; or, an ideal image
of Your friend,
spouse, boss...
ааа You can
also create an original psychometric portrait
ааа of Your
favorite literary or cinematographic personage.
ааа It's very
easy to do it!
а
4.3.2. To create
a psychometric portrait of some person, it is
necessary, in the
mode of PSYCHOMETRY, to install from
the computer
keyboard the NAME of this PERSON, its GENDER and
the Class of the
psychometric production to be created:
'real' or 'ideal'.
аIf it is a
portrait of a person existing in the real world,
assign the class
'real'; if it is a psychometric portrait of a
Person existing
only in Your imagination, i.e. Your inner
world,а assign
the class 'ideal'.
ааа At wish,
in the special field of "Commentaries" You may
install some
additional information about this Person.
а
4.3.3. After You
have put in the registration information, it
is necessary to
imagine clearly this person and, by means of
the buttons
"YES"/"NO", defineа which Personal Qualities
from
the list on the
display are characteristic of this Person
(button"YES")
and which are lacking (button"NO").
аа On
accomplishing this procedure, You will create a
psychometric
production - a psychological portrait, describing
the style of
interpersonal relationship characterisitic of
this Person.
аа Using this
portrait I shall formulate a generalizing
Conclusion and
help You make a comparative psychological
analysis.
а
ааа 4.3.4.аа
Psychological analysis
а
аааааа In
the mode of Consultation, you may mark one Record,
of interest to
You, and I will prepare its psychological
interpretation.
аааа If You
want to compare two Records, mark them in the
given list and I
shall prepare the information needed for
their comparative
analysis and also for the Person's
transformation
from the state given by the initial
psychometric
portrait "A" into the state given by the required
psychometric
portrait "B".
аааа Transformation
is a directed change of the style of
interpersonal
relationships and corresponding Personal
characteristics.
ааа If You
want to bring Your records into order by the degree of
their similarity
to the prototype-Record, point to the
prototype-Record
and press the button "Search by Prototype".
аа By means of
this operation, You will always be able to make
a simple
classification of Your Personal space, i.e. to see on
one of its poles
a certain 'cluster' of most similar Personal
portraits and on
the other pole an agglomeration of their
Personal
antipodes.
ааа Here the
prototype-Record selected by You serves as a
conventional
center of attraction determining the structure of
Your Personal
space.
а
ааа While
using the Base technology, it is desirable to
remember several
important principles;
а
1. While
analyzing my CONCLUSIONS by a certain Psychometric
portrait, it is
important to understand that even such a
capacious list of
Personal characteristics is unable to
describe
objectively and exhaustively a Human Person since any
psychometric
technique is to a certain extent imperfect.
аа Still, in
accordance with our main task - to master the art
of cognizing and
understanding other people and one's own Self
- try to give a
meaning to some psychological generalizations
that arise as the
result of the analysis of the peculiar
features of the
Person's psychometric portrait. I believe such
a procedure to
help You understand other people better in the
real process of
Your vital activity.
а
2. For a more
profound analysis of the psychological
peculiarities of
the Person's disposition and behavior,
understanding its
undoubted merits as well as some
shortcomings, I
would recommend You , my most penetrating
friend, not to
spare Your time and get acquainted with the
classic works of
literature specially selected by me ( or at
least, with their
cinematographic versions).
аа In so doing,
please, pay special attention to the behavior
of the personages
singled out by me in the Conclusion, for
their
interpersonal relationship style has, in my view, some
features in
common with the Psychometric portrait of the
Person You want
to understand.
ааа Analyzing
the deeds and destinies of these literary
personages You
will be able to understand in what real forms
of behavior
certain characteristic features of the Person
whose
psychometric portrait we two are going to analyze may
find their
expression.
а
3.While analyzing
my Conclusion by two Psychometric production
records please
remember our main principle: Man is a sacred
being! It is only
Our Lord in Heaven who has the right to
condemn and
punish us for the things we do. Every Person, as
a work of nature,
is unique and perfect and its spiritual
essence is a part
of GOD. Ours may be only an attempt at
understanding,
but no one is entitled to the right to say that
this person is
better or worse than any other, for HOMO RES
SACRA.
ааа So, each
one of the Persons You are comparing is unique and
original! Yet,
between their psychometric portraits, there may
certainly exist
similarities and differences. Analysis of these
similarities and
differences will allow us to make
classifications
of seemingly quite different people.
ааа Classification
is the basis of scientific cognition! This
is why by
comparing various psychometric portraits You will
gradually learn
to understand other people and Yourself much
more profoundly
and accutately.
а
4. If You want to
perform a Transformation of a Person from
the state
described by the psychometric portrait "A" into the
state described
by the psychometric portrait "B", You must
develop a number
of personal qualities presented to You in my
Recommendationsа
( "The Group of Accepted Personal Features")
trying to
overcome, i.e. reduce to a minimum, simultaneously
the manifestation
of undesirable Personal qualities, described
in the "Group
of Rejected Personal Features".
аа For a
successful implementation of Personal Transformation I
again recommend
You to study, with good attention, the classic
works of
literature offered in my Recommendations (or at least,
their
cinematographic versions).
ааа In so
doing, pay special attention, please, to the
behavior of the
personages singled out by me in the
Recommendations
since the interpersonal relationship style of
these personages
has features in common with the Psychometric
portrait of the
Person whose role You want to play in real
life.
ааа By
analizing the deeds and destinies of these literary
personages You
will be able to understand for Yourself what
real forms of
behavior may certain characteristic features
of the Person
described by the psychometric portrait "B"
assume.
а
ааа I
sincerely wish You success! And remember, to believe in
victory means by
half to win it! The main thing is not to
doubt Your
success, the rest is only a matter of technique.
ааа After You
master, easily and quickly, the Base technology,
You may proceed
to using the unique facilities of the
Extended
Technology of Your Personal space exploration.
а
а
а
аааа At
first, try to answer the two main questions:
а
аааааааааа
WHAT CAN YOU DO IN THE "PERSONAL SPACE"? AND,
аааааааааа
MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO IT FOR?
а
а
а1. By means of
this computer psychoplay technique, You can develop
more accurate and
adequate idea of Yourself, i.e. assess the
peculiarities and
characteristic features of the interpersonal
relationship
style typical of You. This self-assessment is
extremely
important since incomplete and inaccurate
knowledge of
one's own Self, as psychological reseach shows,
frequently
becomes one of the main reasons of our life
problems.
аа To be able
to form an adequate self-assessment, You may use
the sufficiently
representative list of personal features
offered in the
computer technique "Personal space". For this, in
the mode of
"Psychometry" by means of Buttons "YES"/"NO"
and
the personal
features automatically emerging on the display
try to answer the
question: "WHAT KIND OF A PERSON
ARE YOU?"
most sincerely.
а
2. It may be of
interest to You to compare Your own
self-assessment
with the assessment of Your interpersonal
аrelationship
style made by people who know You well and are
of significance
to You. For this, also ask them to assess Your
personal peculiar
features with the aid of the list of
Personal features
offered in the "Psychometry" mode. In doing
this, do not
forget to indicate in the commentaries to the
record produced
who made this assessment!
а
3. It will
certainly be of interest to You to form an
assessment of
personal qualities of Your near ones - relatives
and friends. Or,
perhaps, of those not so close to You, for
instance, Your
boss or neighbor? This can also be done quite
easily with the
aid of the "Personal space" technique. In the
mode of "Psychometry"
install the name or pseudonym of the
person whose
assessment You are forming and by means of the
buttons "YES"/"NO"
and the personal features automatically
appearing on the
monitor display try as sincerely and
objectively as
You can to answer the question: "WHAT KIND OF
A PERSON HE/SHE
IS?"
а
4. As Psychology
shows, of special significance for each of us
is self-assessment
of the ideal I-image, i.e. of the
personal
characteristics of a person whom You would want to be
like, after whose
image Your are striving. To create Your ideal
image, in the
mode of"Psychometry" install Your name or
pseudonym, point
to assessment class 'ideal' and with the
buttons "YES"/"NO"
and the Personal characteristics
automatically
appearing on the display try to sincerely answer
the question:
"WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE?"
а
5. If You are
forming Your real and ideal psychometric
self-assessment,
it will naturally be interesting to You
to make their
comparison. Similarly, one can compare any other
assessments (
psychometric productions ) given by Your
relatives,
friends and acquaintances. For this, in the
"Personal
space" computer technique, select the mode of
"Consultation"
and with the aid of the 'mouse'-manipulator,
in the list
offered to You, point to two records of interest
to You, for
comparison. The "Mind's Mysteries" will
autimatically
compare them, and You will see in what
they resemble
each other and in what they differ.
а
6.With the aid of
the "Personal space" psychoplay technique, in
the mode of
"Psychometry" You can create Your own original
psychometric
productions describing any historical or literary
personage on
condition that You know it well, of course. This
may, for
instance, be Your favorite cinematographic character,
or a political
figure whom You would like to be like. To be
able to do it, in
the mode of "Psychometry", set in the name
а
or pseudonym of
the character whose assessment You are forming,
point to
assessment class "ideal" and withа Buttons YES/NO
and the Personal
characteristics automatically emerging on
the display try,
as objectively and accurately as You can,
answer the
question: "WHAT KIND OF A PERSON IS HE/SHE?"
а
7. Our experts
have already created such psychometric
productions,
which describe the personages of the classic
literature. These
psychometricc productions are brought
together in a
special base of literary personages installed in
the "Mysteries
of the Mind".
аа In Mode
"Consultation" You have a chance to look
through and
examine the personal peculiarities of these
literary
personages. Besides, it will certainly be of interest
to You to compare
Your own psychometric productions with the
literary
characters offered to You. WHOM OF THEM DO YOU
RESEMBLE?
аа Or, what
literary personage does Your neighbor resemble?
What do you have
in common and in what do you differ? Answers
to these and
other questions are to be found in the computer
system "Mysteries
of the Mind"!
а
8. Many of us
suffer from the deficit of personal contact, the
feeling of
loneliness, because of the absence of people who are
spiritually close
to us. Perhaps, the "Mysteries of the Mind"
will enable You
to cope with this problem too. Try to do the
following:
аааа 1) In
the technique of "Personal space", create the ideal
psychometric
image of a person You need ( a friend, a beloved
one, a husband, a
wife, etc. ). To do it, in Mode "Psychometry",
in the position
of the character's name, indicate
the social role
of the person You would like to meet and whose
assessment You
are forming ( e.g. Desired Friend or Lover or
Husband, etc. ),
point to the assessment class of "ideal' and
with the aid of
Buttons YES/NO and the Personal characteristics
appearing
automatically on the display try, as accurately and
carefully as You
can, to answer the question ; "What KIND OF
PERSON DO I NEED?"
ааа In the
commentaries to this record, if You like, You may
install
additional information about the person You need ( e.g.
his/her age,
social status, color of the eyes, height,
zodiacal sign,
etc. ). Do not forget to note Your requisites
for a feedback,
for example, Your P.O.Box or EMail address.
а
ааа 2) Create
a psychometric production that would describe
Your Person's
features. For this, in Mode "Psychometry',
with the aid if
Buttons YES/NO and the Personal characteristics
appearing
automatically on the display, try to sincerely
answer the
question: " WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU?" In the
commentaries to
this record, You may, if You like, give the
additional
information of Yourself ( e.g. Your age, social
status, color of
the eyes, height, zodiacal sign, etc. ) Do
not forget to
note Your requisites for a feedback, for
example, Your P.O.Box
or EMail address.
а
ааааа 3) Via
the Section of Secretary, enter the "Data
Base Archives"
of the "Mysteries of the Mind" and form an
export file that
would include the two psychometric production
records mentioned
above. To do this, note these records in the
"Data Base
Achives" and set in the mode of file formation for
export.
а
ааааа 4) And
now, entrust Your destiny to Our Lord and
transmit this
file by the communication channels or on a
diskette - TO ALL
THOSE WHO OWNS THE PSYCHOPLAYER "MYSTERIES
OF THE MIND"!
а
ааааа 5)
Other people having the "Mysteries of the Mind' will
receive Your
message and incorporate it into their data bases.
It may so happen
that someone of them is spiritually very close
to the ideal
psychometric image of the required person
that You have
created? And perhaps, Your own psychometric
image may as well
correspond to the spiritual needs of this
person? If so, it
means that God is willing You to meet! Wait,
and this
spiritually close person will send You his/her
message through
the channels of the system "Mind's Mysteries".
а
9. All the
messages that You receive from the other people owning
the Psychoplayer
"Mind's Mysteries" ( special files in the
"export/import"
format) can be also included in Your data base.
To do it, it is
necessary to enter the Mode of "Data Base
Archives",
assign the operation of data import by the
"Personal
space" tecnic, set in the name of the file where the
in-coming import
data are accomodated, and You will become the
owner of these
records.
а
10. With the
passage of time, Your data base may accumulate a
sufficiently
large number of records of psychometric
productions
created by other people. And You may feel like
learning, "Which
of these records are most close, for
instance, to the
ideal psychometric image of a friend You
need created by
You"?
ааааа It is
very easy to do it! Enter the 'Personal space"
technique. Select
the "Consultation" mode. You will see the list
of Your database
records; note the psychometric
prototype-image
in this list, i.e. the ideal
psychometric
image of Your friend. Then, press the button
"Search by
prototype", and the Systemа will make up a list
of psychometric
production records itself, brought into order by
the degree of
similarity with the prototype set.
аааа Then You
may choose any record from this ordered list,
note it, and
pressing the button of "CONCLUSION", learn the
personal features
and peculiarities of this person. Maybe it
is someone You
are looking for? Do not forget to look for
commentaries to
the record that its author may have made. In
them, there may
be useful additional information.
а
11. There are
many more exciting possibilities for cognizing
one's own self
and other people offered to You in the computer
Psychoplay tecnic
"Personal space". Gradually You will learn
to open them for
Yourself.
аааа But one
possibility is most fantastic, though
perfectly
accessible to an inquiring, curious and persistant
user of the
"Mysteries of the Mind", viz., - the possibility
of s e l f - d e
v e l o p m e n tа a n dа s e l f -
p e r f e c t i o
n !
For a successful
realization of this fantastic opportutity, I
suggest that You
use a special technique based on the
scientifically
valid and effective Method of Role
Psychometric
Productions.
аааа I wish
You success in Your creative activity!
а
а
а
а
аааа This
technology enables You not only to explore Your
Person's space,
but also to really change it!
аааа Just
make some effort and Your" I" will become great,
indeed!
аааа This is
Your way to Fantastic Success in life and
business, already
today and in the third millenium!
а
аааа I
believe that such an Aim justifies Your efforts. Try,
as deeply as You
can, to comprehend, master and realize in
Your life the
TECHNIQUE OF ROLE PSYCHOMETRIC PRODUCTIONS.
ааа Read, try,
and doubt not Your success.
а
а
аааа 1. The
image of one's "I" is Your key to Your Personality
and success in
life. The image of one's own "I' determines Your
real abilities
and potentialities. You know in advance what
You can do and
what is inaccessible to You; although this, as
we shall
inderstand shortly, is not at all always the case. By
changing Your
idea of Yourself You may discover wonderful new
аabilities and
potentialities in Your own Self.
а
ааа 2.
Psychology states: "You are such as You think Yourself
to be" This
implies that one's sensations, personal traits,
emotional state
are greatly dependent on one's frame of mind -
a positive, or
negative, attitude towards one's own self,
other people,
towards the world around.
а
ааа 3. Not
only does the mental image of one's "I" exist in Your
mind but it also
controls Your behavior, sometimes against
Your will. Think:
-а What engenders Your endless doubts that are
importunately
whispering at a most improper moment: "What, if I
won't manage?"
orа "No, I won't manage it'?
а
ааа 4.The
image of one's own "I" is an integrative result of
Your life way.
But, according to the law of feedback,а by
changing one's
idea of oneself one can also change one's
life way!
а
ааа 5. How to
accomplish this magic change of the I-concept?
How to find this
true idea of Yourself with which You will
acquire a really
happy and full-fledged life, satisfactory to
You in all its
manifestations?
а
ааа 6. A
leading authority in the field of psychocorrection,
the author of the
widely-known book "PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS",
Doctor Maxwell
Maltz ascertains that in order to achieve this
goal,а You are,
first and foremost, to find an image of Your
"I"
that would be acceptable to You, in which You can trust, of
which You need
not be ashamed and which You are in a position,
without any
constraint, to put to creative development, instead
of trying to
conceal and disguise.
а
ааа 7. Your
image of Your own "I' must correspond to life realities
so as to let You
operate in the real world. Therefore, You must
know Yourself
well, be honest as far asа both Your merits
and Your
shortcomings are concerned. Your image of Your own "I"
must be a
sufficiently exact replica of Your real "I", not more
and not less than
what You really are. To create an image of Your
real "I",
it is convenient to come to the use of the list of
personal traits
offered by the computer psychoplay technique
"Personal
space".
а
ааа 8. The
essence of the method of Role psychometric
productions is
the creation of a psychometric ideal-image
which could be
accepted as a new role of the person. To be a
success, You are
first of all to feel a desire of perfecting
Yourself. Then,
by means of the present computer Technique, You
are to create a
new ideal image of the desired character, with
its advantages
over the psychometric image of Your real "I".
Remember, the
Ideal psychometric image of the desired is the
foundation of
foundations, and its creation is a very
responsible step.
а
ааа 9. Any
self-change by Method of Role psychometric
productions
begins with accepting Yourself such as You are and
proceeds by
drawing Yourself nearer to the selected supreme
goal or the ideal
I-concept.
аааааа To
attain this, the following psychological technique is
recommended:
аааа You
examine the personal traits of Your real psychometric
image by means of
Computer Technique "Personal space", in Mode
"Consultation".а
Name consequtively, to Yourself or aloud,
each personal
trait characteristic of You:
а
аааааааа "I
know myself well.аааа I am a person who...'
а
After You have
comprehended each of the four characteristics,
start saying to
Yourself:
ааааааааааааааа
"I accept my own self".
ааааааааааааааа
"I love myself such as I am".
ааааааааааааааа
"I can keenly feel my own value".
а
аааа 10.
After You have reproduced all the personal traits of
Your real
psychometric I-image, repeat once again:
а
аааааааааааааааааа
"I accept my own self".
ааааааааааааааааааа
"I love myself such as I am".
аааааааааааааааааа
"I feel keenly my own value".
а
аааааа Then,
after some pause, confidently and calmly, say
three times:
а
аааааааааааааааааа
"I shall become what I am to be".
аааааааааааааааааа
"I shall become what I am to be".
аааааааааааааааааа
"I shall become whatа I am to be".
а
ааа 11. Then,
in the same mode, from the computer keyboaed, call
the ready-made
ideal I-image - a list ofа characteristics
of the person
whose image You are strivingа after
( note, the list
may also include the personal traits
You already
possess ) and do the following: Quietly and with
good conviction,
whisper to Yourself:
а
аааааааааааа
"I am creating myself. I am a person who..."
а
аааааааа Here,
with the aid of the present computer technique,
You should look
through the personal characteristics of Your ideal
psychometric
image, naming, aloud or to Yourself, each personal
trait that is
characteristic of Your ideal I-image, and as You
are doing it, try
simultaneously to believe that You already
possess the
desired quality ( try to evoke such a feeling in
Yourself and
figure out the behavior that is typical of a
person possessing
this quality ).
а
аа 12. After
You have realized and accepted mentally each of
the four
characteristics of Your ideal "I", begin saying to
Yourself:
а
ааааааааааааааа
"I am creating my own self".
ааааааааааааааа
"I love myself as the person I have become".
ааааааааааааааа
"I can keenly feel my value".
а
ааа 13. After
You have reproduced all the personal traits of Your
ideal I-image,
repeat one more time:
а
аааааааааааааааа
"I am creating my own self".
аааааааааааааааа
"I love myself as the person I have become".
аааааааааааааааа
"I can keenly feel my value".
а
аааа Then
again after some pause, queitly and with good
conviction,
repeat three times:
а
аааааааааааааааааа
"I shall become what I am to be".
аааааааааааааааааа
"I am becoming what I am to be".
аааааааааааааааааа
"I have already become what I am to be".
а
14. Upon
completing Your work on computer, try to evoke the
image of Yourself
as a person possessing the desired character
traits and do it
as frequently as You can.
ааа It is
desirable that You repeat Items 11 - 13 every day for a
period of one
week, and then, for two more weeks, and not less
frequently than
three times a week. During this time it is
necessary for
You, persitently and constantly, to see Yourself
as possessing the
desired character traits and demonstrating
these qualities
under various conditions and circumstances.
ааа By
constantly keeping to this procedure, You will discover
that You are
gradually acquiring the desired qualities and
they are becoming
natural to You.
а
15. In so doing,
do not be afraid, under any circumstances, of
losing Your own
"I". You should understand that Your
p r e s e n tа "I"
is always remaining an infinitely immense
potential for
development and self-change which, under ordinary
circumstances, is
implemented spontaneously by way of unrealized
imitation of the
behavior of other people who are of
significance to
You. From hence, You take the process of Your
Person's
development under Your conscientious control. The
personality which
You have "assumed"а becomes not an alien,
allowed into Your
inner world from the outside, but, as the
great philosopher
Hegel puts it: " Your own Anderes".
Thus, by
assuming, or rather enriching Your Person with,
the Personal
Qualities and peculiar features of some Other,
significant,
being, not only do You remain Your Own Self but,
to put it more
precisely,а Youа a r eа b e c o m i n gа Your Own
Self by realizing
Your supreme Karmic destination. This is really
so, indeed! The
Universal Matter exists in motion, and the Human
Being exists in
development.
а
16.Serving as a
very powerful backing in the process of
self-change by
Method of Role psychometric productions may
be the artistic
personage that You choose - a person from a
work of
literature or cinematographic art that is most close,
by the sum- total
of its personal traits,а to Your ideal
I-concept ( such
a personage may be offered to You by Your
computer system
"Mysteries of the Mind').
аааа You may
attentively study the work of art in which
the personage in
question acts and implements his/her specific
behaviour
patterns, phrases, jestures, most favorite words;
and then try
mentally to play this role in Your real
аlife.
а
17. Every day,
keep concentrating on Your new ideal I-image.
Study it, try it
mentally under different circumstances.
ааа But You
should not restrict Yourself to the home rehearsal
of Your new
personality role. After the passage of three weeks
( 21 days ),а before
You begin Your self-change, You may start
аdisplay
energetically Your new personal traits in real life.
аааа Choose
one eventа and try Yourself on it in Your new role.
You will find
that You can easily overcome everything that
has previously
been disturbing and troubling You.
ааа You will
become aware of Your growing power and might. And
then, use any
convenient occasion for a genuine manifestation of
the desired
character traits in Your interpersonal
relationships.
а
а
18. After the
passage of four weeks ( 28 days ) from the
beginning of Your
self-change, You will enter Your new
self-image. Your
"I" will become even more unique, it will
acquire its new
existence in the world.
ааа During
this period, it will be of use to You to try out
the computer
technique of self-assessment again, in accordance
with the list ofа
personal traits,
and compare the
results of self-change that
You have obtained
with the initial and required portraits of Your
Person.
ааа To do it,
by the use of Consultation Mode, in the
Personal space
technique, compare the couples of the following
Psychometric
production records: the final results (the actual
I ) with the
initial ones ( the real I ) and the required ones
( the ideal I ).
ааа At this
stage of self-changing, it would also be of use to
ask someone of
Your near ones, someone who has been having
regular contacts
with You, to assess, by means of the present
technique, Your
personal peculiar qualities that You have been
recently
manifesting.
ааа Analyze
this assessment. But in no case take it as the
objective one! It
is but one of the possible opinions about
Yourа interpersonal
relationship style, and nothing more.
а
19. The 28th day
ends the first, "lunar" microcycle of Your
Person's self-change
and self-development.
ааа If You
have accurately been following our recommendations,
you will
immediately see the results. But God saveа You
from resting on
Your laurels! The person can existа in
development only,
and this process is infinite. Yes, so it is,
indeed, as it is
not exhausted by the earthly existence
of the Person's
physical (organismic) structure. But only
he/she shall
acquire immortality for whom development is a way
of life! The
Genuine Personality, like the Matter of the
Universe, cannot
be stopped in its infinite development.
а
ааа Just think
of wonderful development of the outstanding
works of art and
achievements of scientific thought whose
creators have
long been inexistent on the earth; but the
entire humanity
is trying, to this very day, to give a meaning
to them because
theyа exert an influence on its global
development.
Maybe it is one of the forms of "life
after death?"
The Person for whom the selected way of
existence in this
world is development will never die!
а
20. So, with the
beginning of a new cosmic lunar development
cycle, repeating
itself is also the cycle of Your Person's
development. What
You obtain, or waste, in this cycle depends
on You.
а
а
аааа Hallo! I
am Doctor Yevgeny, Your personal computer
therapeutist. I
am the first assistant of the head computer
psychotherapeutist,
Professor Freud.
аааа I deal
with the problem of Psychic Energy level
estimation.
Without energy Your car won't run. Similarly, Your *****
brain, Your
nervous system, Your whole body cannot function **эпигрф*
without energy;
although this is not an ordinary kind of
energy, but a
speccial kind of energy - the Psychic Energy!
ааа Would You
like to measure its level right now?
ааа You can do
it quite easily if You use the Psychoplay
techniques
presented here.
ааа With the
aid of the Psychoplay technique 'BALANCE' You can
investigate the
energy level of some hidden, unrealized
mechanisms of the
brain involved in the process of Your
organism self-regulation.
ааа The
Psychoplay technique 'TEMPO' will help You assess how
the actual level
of Psychic Energy affects Your Attention and
capacity for work.
ааа The
'TONUS' technique is a kind of thermometer to measure
Your physical
condition and mood,i.e. Your actual
psychoemotional
state, which exerts a considerable influence
on Your working
capacity and Your feeling of comfort in life.
ааа Each
Psychoplay Technique enables You to receive my
CONCLUSIONS and
RECOMMENDATIONS which make it possible to
optimize Your
work-and-rest regime.
ааа So, I,
Doctor Yevgeny, am sincerely glad to meet You!
ааа I hope and
believe that our encounters in the multimedia
library of
psychoplays "Mysteries Of the Mind" will be useful
already today and
every day in the forthcoming third millenium.
а
а
5.2.1. What kind
of BALANCE are You studying by means of this
technique?
а
Maybe, it is a
financial balance? Both yes and no. It is, as
it were, a
balance of 'finances' of Your nervous system. A
balance that
shows how much psychic energy You have left, and
what is better
for You to do: to 'invest', to spend this inner
resource in the
process of Your life activity, or to wait for
a more convenient
moment when the inner resources are
accumulated
sufficiently to cope with the tasks facing the
'investor'-organism.
а
Well, to take a
more serious approach, by means of this
Computer
Psychoplay Technique You can investigate one of the
most important
mechanisms of self-regulation of Your body in
the process of
its vital activity.
а
This mechanism is
implemented by the so-called Vegetative
nervous system.
The system functions in a relatively
autonomous way
and is responsible for the inner life of the
organism, i.e.
for the coordinated function of all its organs
and systems.
а
Under the
guidance of the Vegetative nervous system the
following
functions ( very important for all of us!) are
implemented -
breathing, feeding, growth, and even breeding!
ааа The
Vegetative nervous system is made up of two
subsystems,
opposite by action, but supplementing each other.
ааа One of
them, called sympathetic, makes Your body
ready for action,
i.e. strives to 'invest' the inner
resources. The
other, parasympathetic, aids in body relaxation
with the purpose
of restoring its energy reserve.
ааа For
example, for a normal sexual intercourse, a harmonious
interaction of
these two systems is necessary, which implies
regular
alternations of the excitation phase and the relaxation
phase.
а
ааа For the
study of the functionung of Your Vegetative nervous
system, the
present computer technique provides for a special
parameter - 'the
Index of Arousal' (of Your organism).
а
The index
estimates the degree of relative predominance of
either
sympathetic or parasympathetic component and exposes
its actual tonus.
а
Its significance
will become clear to You if You read my
CONCLUSION, which
You can get immediately after the PSYCHOMETRY
procedure or in
the CONSULTATION regime.
аа If the
trophotropic tonus is predominating, then Your
organism is
striving to accumulate energy, to rest.
а
аа If, on the
other hand, the ergotropic tonus predominates,
then
predominating is the inclination towards energetic
activity.
а
ааа How to
respond to such a message? Well, it's quite easy:
Your body is
striving for rest - let it have some rest!
Suppose it's
striving for work - go ahead working! The crucial
factor here is to
lay trust on Your organism. Believe me, its
experience has
absorbed millions of years of evolution;
it is wiser than
we are and takes more care of itself than we can
do
conscientiously.
а
аа In general,
characteristic of every human being is one most
probable,
predominant type of activity as well as its optimal
value.
ааа Meanwhile,
the Activation Index (of balance) changes its
value with time
making fluctuations.
ааа If You
start working regularly with technique BALANCE,
You will be able
to observe these fluctuations. To do so,
note the record
group of Your psychometric data and press the
key PLOT.
а
аааа The
Activation Index fluctuation is a normal
physiologocal
process. In tendency, more harmful is the
'sticking' of the
Index at one of the poles. Especially, if it is
the pole of
considerable predominance of the trophotropic
tonus.
а
ааа But if the
fluctuation amplitude of the Activation Index
between the two
poles is extremely high, this is also a
bad sign,
signaling as it does about the high tension of
the mechanism of
self-regulation. Roughly speaking, in such a
regime one cannot
last long! It is necessary to diminish the
load.
а
аа Well,that's
about all there was to say, briefly and in
general outline,
in connection with the analysis of the
Activation Index
dynamics.
аа In the next
version of the system I intend to automatize the
process of
dynamics analysis and possibly introduce the
function
prognosticating the condition of the tonus of the
Vegetative
nervous system. At least,it is in this very area
that I am
carrying out some research at present.
а
ааа In
addition to the notion of Activation Index, in my
CONCLUSION You
will come across the index of 'STRESS LEVEL'.
ааа Very much
has been written about stress. So I will try to
be brief.
ааа The Index
of Psychoemotional Stress assumes the values
from O% to 1OO%
in the Computer technique BALANCE.
а
ааа The medium
and high values of this Index testify to a high
probability of
psychoemotional desadaptation and exhaustion of
the mechanism of
self-regulation. As a consequence of the long
-time retention
of the high values of this Index there may
develop a vital
activity disfunction and various psychosomatic
diseases ( for
instance, the stomach ulcer or the
cardiovascular
diseases ).
а
аа Especially
unfavorable is the combination of the medium and
high values of
stress level with the noticeable predominance
of the
trophotropic tonus. If such a state develops and is
retained over a
long period of time, it will be good for You
to see a doctor (
a real one, not a computer 'physician').
а
аа If, on the
other hand, You frequently develop a different
combination of
these parameters - the medium or high stress
level together
with the noticeable predominance of the
ergotropic tonus,
then it means the following: You have a high
working capacity,
it seems to You that You are very strong;
but mind that You
are working on the breaking point of Your
potential! For
the results that You attain Your organism is
paying too much
by spending too many of Your inner resources.
аAs for
conclusions, it is Yours to make them.
аа As well as
for the other parameters, insignificant
fluctuations of
the stress level with the time dynamics is a
normal process of
Your body self-regulation in the process of
its interaction
with the surrounding environment.
а
ааааа The
third parameter of the BALANCE technique is the
DEVIATION FROM
THE IDEAL. In contrast to the previous
two, which are
designed rather to reflect the unrealized
mechanisms of the
psychoemotional state self-regulation, the
present parameter
characterizes Your conscientious attitude
towards this or
that state. The higher its value, the worse
You subjectively
take Your life situation to be - You are in
the lower moods,
You experience emotional discomfort.
а
а аааAnd on
the contrary, if the deviation from ideal values
are not high, it
means that You are feeling a complete inner
harmony - Your
mood is excellent. You are full of vital energy
and believe in
Your lucky star!
ааа I wish You
to experience precisely these emotions as
frequently as
possible. I believe that of help to in this will
be a purposefully
selected music which You will hear if You
press the key
'RECOMMENDATIONS'.
а
а
аааа This
technique resembles an ordinary dynamic computer
game. You are
successively offered five tables in which You are
asked , as fast
as You can and as accurately as You can, to
point to the
figures in the order of their presentation from 1
to 25 using as
You are doing it only the 'mouse'-manipulator.
ааа You may
imagine that You are trying to break a safe-lock.
The safe-door
will open if You keep within the time limit. If
not...
ааа But this
is not a detective story, and the police will not
arrest You!
ааа Results,
however, will be different. By analyzing the time
parameters of
Your game we are able to draw serious and
fairly objective
conclusions about You psychoenergetic
resources.
ааа As You
have already guessed, by means of the psychoplay
technique TEMPO,
we investigate Your current state and the
dynamics of one
specific psychic property - ATTENTION.
ааа From the
viewpoint of psychology, Attention is the
concentration of
one's consciousness on certain objects
demanding psychic
energy concentration with the aim of
providing an
enhanced level of the sensori-motor and/or
intellectial
activity.
ааа It is
quite evident that one's ability to maintain
Attention at a
certain level dictated by the situation largely
determines Your
activity successfulness.
ааа Everyone
can understand to what a decrease of attention
аlevel while
driving a car can lead! But let us not touch upon
sad matters. I
hope that the regular use of the psychoplay
technique TEMPO
will help You avoid falling into such a mess.
ааа The TEMPO
technique will help You always have an idea
of the current
state and dynamics level of Your Attention.
ааа For the
analysis of the level of Attention and the sensori
-motor reaction
rate I, in my CONCLUSION based on the
psychometric
results, form several parameters that are mutually
supplementary.
а
ааа The first
one - the Active Attention Level - assumes its
value in the
continuum from 'norm' to 'a highly pronounced
distress (
distraction )'.
ааа The second
one - the Sensori-Motor Reaction Rate - changes
аfrom the value
'very high' (quick) to the value ' veryа low'
а(slow).
ааа The third
one - the Nervous System Exhaustibility - may be
absent or
reducing to the value 'highly pronounced'.
ааа The fourth
one - the Integral Attention Index - changes
from O% to 1OO%.
аааа How to
analyze the foregoing indices? In a very simple
way!
аааа Let us
return to our analogy with the driving of the car.
аImagine the
following situation - You are driving in Your
wonderful car at
night along a completely unknown mountaneous
area. You are on
a hurry. You are passing the road-sign
'Winding Road'.
ааа The values
of the above indices enable us to assess the
most probable
course of events relative to the moment when the
Psychometry
results are obtained:
ааа 1. The
Active Attention Level estimates the probabilistic
chance of Your
noticing at least the road-sign.
ааа 2. The
Sensori-Motor Reaction Rate points to the speed
with which You
should drive along this winding mountain road.
ааа 3. The
Nervous System Exhaustibility informs You for how
long You can
last, i.e. how long You will be able to drive
normally along
this road with the given speed (rate).
ааа 4. The
Integral Attention Index is a kind of integrative
estimate of the
probability og a happy end of Your drive.
а
аааа You
certainly understand that this is a conventional
analogy, and
still it allows one to make correct conclusions.
ааа Let me
give an example. Supposedly, in accordance with the
Psychometry
results You have received the following CONCLUSION:
ааа Active
Attention Level - 'slightly lowered';
ааа Sensori-Motor
Reaction Rate - 'medium';
ааа Nervous
System Exhaustibility - 'moderately pronounced'.
а
In terms of our
analogy it will mean: You are unlikely to miss
the road-sign if
You drive at a moderate speed. And this can
last for a
sufficiently long time. Good luck!
а
аа Well, so
much for analogy, let us pass over to chronology
In the
CONSULTATION mode, as well as in the other Techniques,
You can select
one psychometric data record, of interest to
You, and I shall
prepare its psychological interpretation. If
You are
interested in chronology, i.e. the process dynamics,
choose a group of
records regulatedа in time, and I shall
build a plot of
state dynamics of Your Attention at a given
time segment.
а
аа For those
who are inclined to analytical thinking I
recommendа to
compare the Psychometry results in the TEMPO
with those in the
TONUS. You will see that the changes in the
Integral
Attention Index are associated with the values of the
index of the
general Activation (Balance) level of the nervous
system.
ааа This is
quite natural since serving as the physiological
basis of
Attention is the overall activation of the brain
functioning.
Consequently, the good indices by the TEMPO
Technique are
most probable in the condition of optimal
Activation (Arousal)
level.
ааа On the
contrary, difficulties with attention concentration
would arise
against the background of considerable decrease of
the Activation
level (noticeable predominance of the
trophotropic
tonus) or against the background of considerable
predominance of
the ergotropic tonus combined with a high
level of stress.
ааа If You are
NOT interested in such a deep research, make
аuse, at least,
of any Recommendations by the Psychometry
аresults. As
always, You can receive them byа pressing the
аrespective key.
аа In the
Recommendations I shall offer You some easy exercises
that will help
You maintain the optimal Attention level in the
process of Your
vital activity.
а
а
а
аааа While in
Technique BALANCE You had an opportunity to
investigate the
unrealized level of psychoemotional state
regulation, the
TONUS Technique enablesа Youа to define
more precisely
how a higher level of realized Personal
regulation may
respond to the specific effects of external and
internal factors.
а ааTo put it
more simply, You are given a chance to precisely
define and
understand how Your TONUS,i.e. Your mood, physical
condition and
activity may be affected by a concrete situation
in life (the
external factor) and by the functional state of
the organism (the
internal factor).
аа Lying at the
basis of this technique is the principle of
self-assessment
of the psychoemotional state by means of
specially-selected
adjectives-descriptors whicch enable one to
differentiate
accurately the various nuances of subjective
feeling.
аа In the
PSYCHOMETRY mode, using the scale of 0 1 2 3 4, You
can assess the
degree of pronouncement of the various
descriptir-characteristics
of Your actual ( i.e. perceived
right at the
moment) state.
These
characteristics will be appearing on the monitor screen
in good
succession. To carry out an accurate choice, it is
necessary to
sense to what degree each of them corresponds to
Your inner
feeling and then, with the aid of manipulation
keys, select the
respective position:
а
ааа 0 -
uncertainty, or absence of the characteristic in
аааааа question
in Your condition;
а
ааа 1 - the
characteristic in question is pronounced only
аааааааа slightly
(insignificantly);
а
ааа 2 - the
characteristic in question is moderately
ааааааа (noticeably,
tangibly);
а
ааа 3 - the
characteristic in question is strongly
ааааааа (considerably)
pronounced;
а
ааа 4 - the
characteristic in question is pronounced very
аааааааа strongly
(maximum pronouncement).
а
ааааа While
carrying out self-assessment, remember the
following simple
rule: don't think too long while making the
choice of Your
position, for there are no such things as right
or wrong answers.
Your very first sensaton is the most precise
one!
а
ааа After You
have completed the self-assessment of Your
psychoemotional
state, I shall formulate my CONCLUSION and
RECOMMENDATIONS.
аааа The
Conclusion will help You understand which factors of
Your condition
are mobilizing You to action and which, on the
contrary, are of
negative, demobilizing character.
аааа In
addition, I shall estimate Your balance, i.e. the
degree of
predominance of some factors over the others.
аааа You will
learn the values (levels) of eight factors
describing Your
actual psychoemotional state.
аааа The four
of them which are mobilizing to action are:
а
аааа TRANQUILLITY
- IS CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH SPIRITS,
OPTIMISM,
INTERNAL BALANCE, THE FEELING OF FRESHNESS AND
SATISFACTION WITH
THE RESULTS OF ONE'S ACTIVITY;
аааа FULLNESS
WITH ENERGY - IS CHARACTERIZED BY CHEERFULNESS,
CONFIDENCE IN
ONE'S ABILITIES, INTERNAL FREEDOM ANDа THE
READINESS TO
BEGIN TO CARRY OUT A MOST DIFFICULT TASK;
аааа ACTIVITY
- IS CHARACTERIZED BY FIGHTING SPIRITS, THE
STRIVING FOR
ENERGETIC ACTIVITY, COMPETITIVENESS AND THE
QUICKEST
ATTAINMENT OF THE RESULT;
аааа IMPULSIVENESS
- IS CHARACTERIZED BY ENHANCED ACTIVUTY AND
HEIGHTENED
NERVOUSNESS LEADING TO A CERTAIN DECREASE IN
SELF-CONTROL AND
RASH ACTIONS.
а
аааа In
contrast, the four demobilizing factors are:
а
аааа ANXIETY
- IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF HIGH NERVOUS TENSION
WHICH FINDS NO
OUTCOME AND CAUSES EXCESSIVE IRRITABILITY,
EXCITABILITY, AN
ACUTE FEELING OF DISSATISFACTION WITH ONESELF
AND OF ANNOYANCE;
аааа ALARM -
IS CHARACTERIZED BY TENSE EXPECTATION OF AN
UNFAVORABLE
OUTCOME OF AN EVENT, WHICH LEADS TO HEIGHTENED
FEARFULNESS, LACK
OF SELF-CONFIDENCE AND PERPLEXITY;
аааа DEPRESSION
- PSYCHIC ACTIVITY RECESSION SHOWING ITSELF IN
APATHY,
PESSIMISM, INDIFFERENCE TOWARDS ONE'S BUSINESS, THE
FEELING OF
FEEBLENESS AND EXHAUSTIVENESS;
аааа DESPONDENCY
- IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE FEELING OF PHYSICAL
WEAKNESS, WORN-OUTEDNESS,
HEIGHTENED VULNERABILITY, THE SENSE
OF LONELINESS AND
THE COMPLETE LOSS OF INTEREST IN ACTIVE LIFE.
а
While analyzing
the levels and balance of the above factors, I
shall single out
positive and negative components in Your
Psychoemotional
condition and give You useful RECOMMENDATIONS
which would allow
You to optimize Your work-and-rest regime.
а
аа In the mode
of CONSULTATION, as well as in the other
Techniques, You
can select any Record of interest to You from
the Psychometric
Data Base, and I shall make its psychological
interpretation.
аа In case You
get interested in the time dynamics of the
process of
psychoemotional condition change, note the
respective data
group in the Data Base.
ааа Then press
the key 'PLOT' and You will become convinced
vividlyа that at
the realized regulation level can the
fluctuation also
be observed.
аааа I
recommend that after You have passed the Psycometry You
should
obligatorily note in the field of COMMENTARIES, to the
record, the
various concrete events of Your life, or
peculiarities of
Your self-perception, that might be
associated with
this.
аааа Gradually,
You will accumulate a most interesting
material for the
analysis of the concrete external and internal
factors that may
be affecting Your life in a positive or
negative way.
аааа I
believe that as a reasonable being You will be able to
draw correct and
useful conclusions from the information at
Your disposal.
