Basic cognitive illusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is: not consciously reckoning with non-conscious, subconceptual mental-neuronal processing. [see: \u201cThe Basic Cognitive Illusion<\/a>\u201d] This illusion is debunked by a lot of scientific data. For instance, [see: \u201cThe Post-Postmodernist Brain<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, not seeing through this is scientifically comparable to being a flat-earther \u2015 denying that the earth is rather round than flat. I acknowledge: the illusion is sticky. Sitting in a room, the room is flat. Driving through a street, the street is basically flat. Still, a flat earth is an illusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A flat human being is equally an illusion. We are conceptually graspable only within this ego-illusion. Subconceptual mental processing is undeniably real and ubiquitous. [see: \u201cAbout \u2018Subconceptual\u2019<\/a>\u201d] This changes almost everything about our conception of the human being and how to practically manage things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n COVID<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n COVID has taught me that, more than simply an illusion, there is a widespread active denial of the illusion by those who should know about the subconceptual influence of the mind on COVID. This could relieve much human suffering and economic hardship. [see: \u201cMind the Denial<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n I contacted medical colleagues in many ways. In my view, there is a huge responsibility resting on their shoulders. It\u2019s plain. It\u2019s clear. It\u2019s here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I contacted philosophers. Hmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many consequences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n COVID is just an example. This active denial has a tremendous amount of consequences in healthcare. For instance, [see: \u201cStress Kills<\/a>\u201d], [see: \u201cSubconceptual Processing in Health and Healing<\/a>\u201d]. In short, immense suffering, huge cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are even more dire consequences outside of healthcare. This is the cost of being dissociated from one\u2019s core being. [see: \u201cInner Dissociation is NEVER OK!<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The basic denial<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Denial is an action, not a simple happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many intelligent people \u2013 the elite? \u2013 are in active denial. Partly knowing, having a hunch, they turn the other way. To me, a true intellectual elite is one who dares. [see: \u201cThe Intellectual Elite – Leaving Nobody Behind<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a lot of being afraid of others, much anxiety towards oneself, much addiction to superficiality, many negative reasons and excuses. Meanwhile, there is little daring \u2015 regretfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big-c-Compassion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is empathy with much mental overlap, making \u201cwhat is good for you is good for me,\u201d taking into account subconceptual mental processing. [see: \u201cEssence of Compassion<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n I see this as the only way to overcome the denial and inner dissociation. [see: \u201cCompassion: Relief of Dissociation<\/a>\u201d] In-depth, both are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compassion is the result of mental growth. [see cat.: \u201cPersonal growth<\/a>\u201d] This should also be the main aim of coaching\/psychotherapy. [see: \u201cWhat is Success in Therapy?<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this sense, eventually, it may also be the only way therapy really works. [see: \u201cOnly Compassion Works<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n I acknowledge, there is no Compassion without daring. [see: \u201cDaring to Be Vulnerable<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world needs Compassion.<\/p>\n
