What does Deconditioning Mean in the Psychology of Awakening?

Описание: Deconditioning is the bulk of what is done as one realizes ultimate reality. Deconditioning is well summarized by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi:

Who am I?

The gross body which is composed of the seven humours (dhatus), I am not; the five cognitive sense organs, viz., the senses of hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell, which apprehend their respective objects, viz. sound, touch, colour, taste and odour, I am not; the five cognitive sense organs,
viz., the organs of speech, locomotion, grasping, excretion and procreation, which have as their respective functions, speaking, moving, grasping, excreting and enjoying, I am not; the five vital airs, prana, etc., which perform respectively the five functions of in-breathing, etc., I am not; even the mind which thinks, I am not; the nescience too, which is endowed only with the residual impressions of objects and in which there are no objects and no functionings, I am not.



If I am none of these, then who am I?

After negating all of the above mentioned as ‘not this’, ‘not this’, that
Awareness which alone remains – that I am.




This channel is focused on what I have found regarding ways to end psychological suffering that are validated by science, spirituality, and direct practice, all from the perspective of a clinical/forensic psychologist and human being.
