The basis of any mental process is energy. It is produced by pacemaker cells. These cells are located in the brain stem in a place called the reticular formation. Those. it is physiological energy. Once the energy is released, it has to go somewhere. Accordingly, it goes to the upper parts of the brain and is already distributed there in the appropriate circuits. So here it is. It circulates there, creating a certain psychological state, emotions, thoughts, i.e. mental processes. Some of these processes are blocked by unconscious attitudes of the Mind, i.e. marginalized and prohibited. Simply put, the emotion of anger has appeared and is immediately processed by the unconscious program of the Mind - “impossible.” Sadness and a reaction of tears appeared - the same thing, the prohibition in the mind does not allow it to manifest. A desire has appeared that does not fit into the self-image - “impossible”. A thought, an impulse, a state, an emotion, anything that falls under the “no” program. What is “impossible” is split off and becomes, as it were, an independent structure or object that is present in the psyche. This is something with which a person does not identify himself, something that is perceived as foreign. Moreover, the form can be any, because initially it was just energy, without any form. Having encountered a ban, like a dam on its way, it can go into any “channel”. Repressed emotions become obsessive thoughts, for example. Such a marginalized part is usually perceived as something alien, as I already said, as some kind of external force, as something that one wants to get rid of. And, understanding the mechanism of how it appears, it becomes obvious that the desire to get rid of it will not help in any way, but will only strengthen it and intensify the internal struggle, i.e. self-conflict and split. To prevent this from happening, you must first learn to treat all your manifestations with attention and acceptance. This is not easy, because the first thing a person will encounter is internal attempts to avoid contact with what is unpleasant. This is a natural evolutionary mechanism, avoidance of the unpleasant, which really has nothing to do with quality of life, happiness, satisfaction and all that. Therefore, contacting something unpleasant in the psyche is a counterintuitive event, and the Mind at the beginning will very loudly tell stories that we need to run away from here to hell. It will also be necessary to understand his tricks. Once we get past this layer of conditioning, we can access what's underneath—i.e. Let's get closer to the source. Diving, living, expressing and observing the energy of this source is precisely what integrates the split-off energy, i.e. allows you to assign it. When energy is appropriated, the tension associated with this process leaves the psyche and all forms of consequences of splitting disappear. Psychologist Kirill Kryzhanovsky
