Correspondence

Through correspondence we can see that there is a connection between our physical and mental body. According to Swedenborg, mostly all of the organs show that it connects itself to mental function of the organ to physical function of the organ. It is the mental body that sensates through the physical body. All the things you see right now are perceived from your mental body. Sensations, thoughts, and feelings do not exist in physical body. Through correspondence, information attained from physical body transfers to sensorimotor in the mental body. Physical body contains only electrical and chemical matters. All of our sensations are filtered through the physical body before resuscitation and during resuscitation there is an increase in the intensity and clarity of our sensations without our connection to physical body. 

Correspondence are important to which we can assess our mind and body. We would be more aware of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions, etc. in our conscious minds if we study correspondence. We would be able to see the world in different and clear view. I think it should be taught in high schools but children may be too young to understand the concept of correspondence in elementary or intermediate schools. It is a good way for the children to be aware of their thoughts and the actions that follows it during their adolescence. 

Body-Mind Correspondences

Neologistic Body-Mind Correspondences

Substantive Dualism

Substantive Dualism is a distinction between matter (physical and time) and substance (spiritual). This dualism is discussed in relation to the “body-mind issue”, which has been debated through generations of philosophers and psychologists alike.  This body-mind dualism is identified as a mental phenomenon or world, that is not physical but belonging to the soul that is immortal, in correspondence with a physical or made of matter world, consisting of a physical body which is temporal.  This is a theory known to have two separate worlds of both the mental and physical.

Spiritual Sun

Layer of natural mind (9, 8, and 7) correspondence to layers of spiritual mind (6, 5, and 4) and layers of spiritual mind are effects produced from correspondence to the highest layers (3, 2, and 1). The mental world of eternity was created by Spiritual Sun.  This idea of the Spiritual Sun can be thought of as in relation to what we know about the physical Sun.  As one knows, the Sun is in the center of the Solar System.  Energy from the Sun, in the form of sunlight, supports almost all life on Earth via photosynthesis, and also drives the Earth’s climate and weather.  To be able to do anything or have the energy to do anything requires this energy from the Sun.  This is called assimilation or giving energy to the cells.  

We are also all made from the Sun.  The sun gives out gases in which is the source of the materials making up the world and everything that has been born or grown in it.  With this you can think of the Spiritual Sun as the creator and preserver of the soul and the mental world of eternity.  The Spiritual Sunlight makes up the mental body of each soul and fuels the existence of eternity.  You can think of the Spiritual Sun in terms of time.  The Spiritual Sun exists in a timeless world, a world without any form of time or space, which marks the difference between the physical world and the mental world.  The physical Sun exists in a world of time, in a place with a beginning and eventually, an end.  

Mental world consists of emotions, feelings, thoughts, and sensations. Mental world is a world of eternity. Mental world can produce sensorimotor functions, which have to agree to a thought. Mental world makes us aware of the physical world, so one can sense the differences and uniqueness to each individual person. Mental anatomy consists of three mental organs: affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor. In the mental world of eternity, Spiritual Sun is the first layer. The Spiritual Sun creates two substances. The affective organ is made out of spiritual heat, which makes the altruism substance. The cognitive organ is made out of spiritual light, which makes the rational substance. And the combination of these two organs allows for the sensorimotor organ to work.  All the mental structures came from Spiritual Sun, the spirit of mental world.

The Spiritual Sun radiates the mind off every human being and we have mental substance to receive and activate our mental organs. Spiritual heat and Spiritual light activates mental organs. Spiritual Sun is simply a Divine Love and Divine Truth.  

Mental Layers

In this Mental World of eternity there are arrangements of mental layers called "human anatomical layers" or “discrete degrees” or levels of functioning. Each layer consists of its own operations of the sensorimotor, cognitive, and affective organs.

In Layer 1 is Spiritual Sun, the creator. It is the source of spiritual heat or altruism and spiritual light or rationality, which creates all living things including the mind.

In Layer 2 is Soul from conception to birth, which is also called "Heaven of Human Internals.” This is the layer where immortal souls of unborn and human embryos exist.  The soul is born at conception from the substances of the father’s semen.

In Layer 3 is Soul from birth to eternity, also called "God's abode". It is the layer that generates unique DNA in each individual inherited from the father’s soul.  Referred to as an “immortal human plant”, where each is created through God with unique DNA in which makes each individual unique in its qualities.

In Layer 4 is Spiritual Mind Celestial layer (also called celestial heaven) with three organs, also called the “interior spiritual,” the “interior rational,” and the “celestial rational.” It is the highest level of operation for human beings gaining "quasi-omniscience through God’s Omni-proprium". This is received through affective organ. It remains unconscious until resuscitation.  This remains unconscious until the resuscitation process at the death of ones physical body. 

In Layer 5 is Spiritual Mind Spiritual layer (also called spiritual heaven or spiritual angels) with three organs. It sustains the internal materialistic view in the natural mind. It also remains unconscious until resuscitation.

In Layer 6 is Spiritual Mind Natural layer (also called the natural heaven or good spirits) with three organs. This layers preserves internal rationalistic view in our rational consciousness to form languages etc..  It is also the lowest of the three degrees of the spiritual mind.

In Layer 7 is Natural Mind Interior (7i) and External (7e) (also called the rational consciousness) portions with three organs. Layer 7 interior-natural, contains spiritual truths from Sacred Scripture, etc. Layer 7 is center of regeneration.  Layer 7 external-rational, contains the state of “good” in which is pleasing to one solely.  This hellish order can be reversed into its heavenly order through the regeneration process.

In Layer 8 is Natural Mind Abstract Materialism (also called sensual mind or scientific mind) with three organs. This layer is based on materialistic abstract thinking and ideas.  This layer is the concept of self or me, this contains ones hellish traits, which form habits of everyday life.  

In Layer 9  is Natural Mind Corporeal Mind with three organs. The layer closest to the physical body and based on inherited hellish traits.

In Layer 10 is Spiritual Body with a spiritual sensual (above) and a spiritual corporeal (below), each with three corresponding sub-degrees. It protects all the layers above in simultaneous order. 

In Layer 11 is Limbus Covering with three corresponding sub-degrees. It stays forever in the physical world and made of substances between spiritual and natural.  It is inherited from the mother and does not decompose at death.

        In Layer 12 is Physical Body with a natural sensual and a natural corporeal, each with three corresponding sub-layers. The natural sensual consists of five sensory systems and their biological connections. The natural corporeal contains the motor system and its connection with nervous system. The physical body is made of natural substances, which decompose at death.  This too is inherited from the mother and formed in her womb.

In Layer 7, 8, and 9, we are able to go back to change bad habits. Layer 4, 5, and 6 is the highest layer of operation of human beings. It does not deal with physical world and we receive information that helps us build our rational mind.

The Mental Layers are grouped into four sequences of three.  In the Layers 1, 2, and 3, they pertain to God.  In the Layers of 4, 5, and 6, pertains to our spiritual mind in the world of eternity in the internal mind, which remains unconscious until the process of resuscitation.  In Layers 7, 8, and 9, these pertain to our natural mind in eternity relevant in the external mind, unconscious until after death.  Lastly, Layers 10, 11, and 12, pertain to three bodily containers of the layers from above.  

Mental Anatomy

To understand the existence of mental anatomy we must study the threefold self.  To do this we have to start from the beginning.  Our immortal mental body, when born contains our mind and brain, existing physically and spiritually.  These organs are present in the spiritual-mental body, as well as in the physical body.

The circulatory system in the physical body corresponds to the affective organ in the mental or spiritual body, resulting in the subjective experience of feelings.  These feelings in the mental body correspond to circulatory system in the physical body for these feelings cultivate all of life’s experiences.  This includes, affective consummatory life consists of needs, wants, desires, pleasures, interests, satisfactions, and attractions.  In also includes its opposites, or an affective conative life consisting of intentions, purposes, reasoning, resolve, motives, and it loves.  

The respiratory system corresponds to the cognitive organ, resulting in experience of thinking, reasoning, and ones intelligence. Thoughts could elucidate feelings and gain insights.  The cognitive organ corresponds to the respiratory system in the physical body because thoughts guides our feelings and illuminates them, similar to the process of oxygen cleaning and purifying blood through the body.  These thoughts gives us a cognitive appraising life with the presence of memory, words, meaning, imagination, concepts, ideas, logic, knowledge, etc..  Thoughts also give us a cognitive planning life through rational reasoning, predictions, hypotheses, inventiveness, etc.. 

The nervous-skeletal system corresponds to the sensorimotor organ, resulting in experience of being able to sense the environment and taking action through our drives to interact.  These sensations and motor determinations are related to the nervous system in the physical body, for they give us sense of experiencing the world outside of us and our motor systems allowing us to move and interact with our surrounding environment.  A sensory noticing life is one with seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, pleasure, pain, etc..  And a motor execution life exhibits moving, pushing, dancing, chewing, writing, drawing, etc.. 

Substance is needed for anything to function.  Anything that exists and correlates with the physical than needs substance.  But, where does this physical matter come from?  The Sun.  Pieces of the sun or globe orbits around the star.  So the outer cools, but the inside is still hot inside.  Cool matter makes everything physical.  The Mental matter is made of substances of the Spiritual Sun.  The difference is in that matter is physical and substance is not physical.

This theory is founded on the notion of a dualistic world.  One in which incorporates both the physical and mental.  In these two worlds, that which is physical and is mental or spiritual, a communication warren allows for the two worlds to coexist side-by-side.  Everyone is born with two bodies, a physical body and a mental body, both existing in their own world.  These two bodies are connected, for the anatomy and function in the physical body is conjoined with a similar form of the anatomy and function of the spiritual body.  The two bodies are required to be connected or otherwise, there will lack any type of function and cease to exist as human beings.  

When approached with this idea, some have stated a sense of confusion or needed more clarification.  But as this theory was explained more in-depth, many can sense the rationality and can see the basis of this theory.  In one instance, a friend had conflicting thoughts about the idea of our ruling loves.  He believed that in the end it is not our ruling loves that determines our path to heaven or hell, but the remorse and forgiveness that is given to you after your death.  Another friend replied, “I have been studying a lot about Indian Religions and this theory gives some basis similar to that of Buddhism and Hinduism about ruling loves and the intentions of people.”  Overall, majority of people agree with the theory completely or most of its parts, on the basis of rationality and on the grounds of previous knowledge of God and the Spiritual World.  

Spiritual Heat and Spiritual Light

Spiritual Sun is a mental ether. Both Spiritual and Physical Sun contains two substances in mental and physical organs; spiritual heat and light. In masculine unit spiritual heat is surrounded by spiritual light. In feminine unit, spiritual light surrounds spiritual heat. Spiritual heat and light assemble mental organs. Altruism substance penetrates the affective organ to create loves, etc. Rationality substance penetrates the cognitive organ to create thoughts, truths, etc. Therefore, the Spiritual heat bestows love and feelings, while the Spiritual light is made up of thoughts. Everybody may take a while to grasp this concept but eventually it would start to make sense. As I kept getting introduced to this idea, I am much aware of the existence of Spiritual heat and light.  

Mental and Eternity

In natural mind, we are conscious and we are unconscious in spiritual mind. Physical world generates to mental world so they are able to connect. In mental world we only see people with similar thoughts, loves, or things we agree on. We see people without having similar thoughts in the physical world; we all inhabit the space provided in the physical world for the mental world is formless and without space. Human beings born with immortal souls who live on this earth until their physical bodies die and they go through resuscitation and join the mental world in the mental body. Manifestations of heaven and hell exist in the mental world. Heaven being a place of utopia and hell being a place where you feel guilt, angry, etc. 

The difference between men and women are due to Spiritual light and heat.  They are reciprocals of each other.  When the Spiritual hear is surrounded by Spiritual light it is male.  But when the Spiritual light is surrounded by Spiritual heat then it is female.  This can also be seen when viewing the nature of its operations.  The Spiritual light consists of the thoughts or the cognitive operations, while the Spiritual heat consists of the love and feelings or the affective operations.  This is also consistent in the gender role theories, which state that the woman is seen as sensitive, emotional, and nurturing, while the male is partnered with being rational and trustworthy.  

Consciousness is the awareness of sensorimotor appearances in the mental world of eternity. In the mental world, during our birth, our mental organs are located in the spiritual body, and we awaken to our consciousness at resuscitation, which is process of being separated from connection to the physical body. Our life experience in the mental world of eternity starts at birth but we attain our awareness after we resuscitate. We could continue to live our familiar life even after death and socialize with people who have also resuscitated since there is only one mental world for human being souls. This new world will be closely associated to our loves and feelings.  

Eternity are surrounded by heat and light from Spiritual Sun. Spiritual heat is a love and Spiritual light is a thought. Love and thought are mental and thus, the building blocks of eternity. And therefore, God’s feelings, love, thoughts are the building blocks of the Spiritual Sun and heat.  There are two possibilities to measure time. You are either in-time or outside time (eternity). In Physical world, we call the time, "world of time". Space is something physical and ether (rational). World of Spiritual Sun is eternity. Thoughts and dreams are most familiar in world of eternity. Dream is something every person is familiar with that is not in time, in space, and in physical matter.  There is no actual time and space in our mental world. There is no physical space in our dreams. What appears to be physical space is actually mental space, and what appears to be physical time, is actually mental time. Mental space and time are called eternity because there is no physical space and time in them.

Spiritual marriage within individual is conjunction of cognitive and affective in heavenly part of regeneration. Our life experience is made by spiritual marriage. It is our thoughts and motivations, the basis of regeneration as well as a connection between the Divine Psychologist who helps to conjoin affective and cognitive good loves.  Infernal marriage is conjunction of cognitive and affective in hellish part of regeneration. 

Affective organ is part of the Circulatory system, cognitive organ is part of Respiratory system, and sensorimotor organ is part of Nervous-Skeletal system. Cognitive organs are solely on light and affective organs are solely on heat. The male mental anatomy is structured in the following order starting from the inner layer: affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor. The structure of female mental anatomy is layered accordingly starting from the inner layer: cognitive, affective, and sensorimotor. Women's affective organ conjoins with the men's cognitive organ then men's affective organ is able to conjoin with women's cognitive. In mental world, sensorimotor is sensation, cognitive is thought, and affective is love. 

Grand Human and Grand Monster

The shape of the mental world is human body. There are two shapes of mental world: Grand Human or Grand Monster. Divine psychologist reflects the role or function of that co-presence between Grand Human or Grand Monster and the person. Divine Psychologist connects and disconnects us to Grand Human or Grand Monster. Love is the primary to determine everything whether we choose between Grand Human or Grand Monster in the natural mind. Love is the source in the Grand Human and Grand Monster rooted from the two worlds that are cultivated. 

Grand Monster is the basis of loves of selfism and Grand Human is basis of loves of altruism. Selfism is the loving of something for the sake of self-alone. Altruism is the love of something for the sake of self and others. Self is to appearance and as of self is to reality.  Young adults who die before being generated, are protected by the Grand Human. Ruling love is something you need to acquire. You lose your life if you take away your ruling love whether it is heavenly or hellish. Inherited love is a love that you already own. Love can be yours if you claim or practice it because love is eternal and will never disappear.  It is this ruling love that will place you either in your own Grand Human or Grand Monster, heaven or hell.

We can relate to Grand Human and Grand Monster while living on earth by process of regeneration or vertical community through the relationship to Divine Psychologist. Vertical community explains how people in mental world of eternity are affected by the mental growth that is still linked to the physical world. People who share similar loves and sub-loves are automatically gathered in to either a community of a Grand Human or Grand Monster. It is important that we understand this idea before we resuscitate because our loves are the determination of where we will be placed after our death and thereafter, our resuscitation. We can expect to go to either Grand Human or Grand Monster based on our ruling loves.

Dying/Resuscitation Process

Dying process has to do with surgical process of separation of a correspondence of physical and mental world. The connection breaks and results to decomposition. The connection of correspondence between this physical and mental world begins at birth.  When our physical body develops our mental body develops as well but since physical body is separated at resuscitation, there are no connection so we lose all of our conscious of physical body.  Dying is a separation from the physical body, which is empty of any mental element. This lack of a spiritual or mental component in the dying body results in decomposition of the physical body.  The dying-resuscitation process takes about 33 hrs (approximately 30 hrs).

During resuscitation, a person awakes from the unconscious in the external mind or natural mind. There is no time in existence so there are no measures but we could process our ruling love to come out of conscious. Here we encounter the Divine Psychologist, who helps present our different ruling loves and allows for us to choose which is most important in the conscious.  If we could acknowledge and recognize our ruling love then the process is complete. Anything that is incompatible with ruling love is neutralized or eliminated without any power or control. 

Resuscitation occurs in mental zone between Grand Human and Grand Monster. We are born in resuscitation zone and we remain here until death. There are three mental zones as followed: resuscitation zone, Grand Human, and Grand Monster. After our second death, we are able to get to Grand Human or Grand Monster. Second death is a final entrance into Grand Human or Grand Monster when our ruling love crystallizes out of consciousness and other loves are disposed of. Our memories, love, intention etc will be gone if there is heaven and hell. God has to manage every detail of every event or else it can only move toward corruption and destruction.

Regeneration Process 

Regeneration is the process of gradual restoration of the union between the individual and God.  It is a sort of reunion in which the natural self’s state in a stressful socio-political society can drag the individual into a spiral of increased selfishness, cruelty, and anti-social tendencies.  With this regeneration, the individual is given the choice to stop these negative inclinations and become more moral, forgiving, and compassionate.  The essence of this regeneration process is the self’s recognition of its natural iniquity and blind obedience to religious doctrines as well as the doctrines of the Divine revealed in the Sacred Sculpture.

To describe the process of regeneration, we must describe the threefold self (affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor) and three layers of natural mind (7,8, and 9). The method of consciousness raising involves affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor. In affective stage, we admit. In cognitive phase, we witness its meaning. In sensorimotor, we modify something necessary to have positive consciousness to experience heavenly mental states and capacities. It is a similar process to method of problem solving.

Regeneration is also concern with self-education and self-training.  God provides us with all the information needed to discern the decisions made in our lives.  The way one deals with this information vary from the individual, where the natural self is free to make its own decisions on its actions.  Gradually, if a person accepts the good in things and experience loves then regeneration is a sure thing.  But, if the individual does not lead a life of a moral character then degeneration will occur rather than it’s opposite.  A degenerated person can appear moral out of a suppressed socio-political society.  But this cannot help the individual in their final stage of resuscitation. 

Divine Psychologists helps us to stay sane and in reality. We are able to admit, witness, and modify to lessen our loves of selfism and raise our consciousness. Divine Psychologists help us see new perspectives of more heavenly things and less hellish. You have to see the good in everything and question yourself before you put negative things in your mind.

We could be regenerated by the Divine Psychologist through Spiritual combat. This is a process that we must understand the facts about our relationship to god. It is the procedure to which we must get rid of our hellish loves (inherited love) and replace it with positive heavenly loves through regeneration. We must rethink and organize our mind by gaining spiritual truths, which is called reformation. After we obtain spiritual truths, we could now practice spiritual combat. If we are not regenerated before we die, we awaken in natural mind because our spiritual mind could not be activated and we will have hellish thoughts eternally.

There are three types of temptations in following order: natural temptations, spiritual temptations, and celestial temptations. Through natural temptations, we are aware of morality, equity, fairness, and human responsibility. This process takes place in affective organ of the external part of the rational consciousness also called affective humanism (in layer 7). It is a temptation or practice that what we control and interpret without the presence of Divine Psychologist. We can consider this love of selfism and this is how we area able to gain our unique personality.

Spiritual temptations emphasized based on Divine Psychologist's command. The Divine Psychologist recommend ideas that is brought into our consciousness and then we are able to question about our life. This process takes place in the cognitive organ, the internal part of the rational consciousness in the natural mind (in layer 7). We need to discover what is important to us personally through spiritual meaning to engage in spiritual temptation. 

We are able to regenerate affective organ of abstract materialist consciousness (in layer 8). After gaining our internal part of spiritual truths, we are able to regenerate cognitive mysticism (in layer 8) and on to layer 9 after Rational understanding of internal part of spiritual truths.

Phases of regeneration occurs starting in layer 7. Reformation is regeneration of the internal part rational consciousness in natural mind. Internal minds are rational thoughts of mental world of eternity that corresponds to layer 6 of spiritual mind. External mind is materialism thoughts and regeneration of layer 7e regenerates the process of the lowest part of the spiritual mind (6). This process is experienced through natural temptation described above. We could overcome this temptation by changing our altruistic and our thinking into more rational way. We now can link between morality and spirituality and connect them in our rational consciousness. We accept the existence of Diving Psychologist and free from spiritual insanity.

Once regeneration of layer 7 begins, we can proceed to regeneration of layer 8, abstract materialism through correspondences to layer 5 of spiritual mind. These spiritual concept in our natural mind consciousness are capable of performing spiritual combat to overcome spiritual temptations. In order to perform spiritual combat we must create spiritual-materialist meanings and ideas then we could perceive better reality. We can link between time of natural world and mental world of eternity.

When regeneration of layer 8 begins, regeneration of layer 9 starts through correspondences to layer 4 of spiritual mind. These spiritual concept in our corporeal consciousness are able to perform spiritual combat to overcome celestial temptations. We must create celestial-corporeal meanings and ideas and we will be aware of "what lies within material objects" and we can understand the concept of life-after-death. We can link between our current physical body and immortal body.

Self-Witnessing

Self-witnessing assessment will elucidate what we must be aware of to regenerate. Objective data could be attained through self-witnessing. By experiencing and witnessing your own mental life, you can be conscious of your own action mostly examining our loves in daily life. You can achieve self-witnessing by raising your consciousness from layer 8 to layer 9 (from corporeal materialism to abstract materialism), which we look ourselves like how we observe others. We must think if all the things we do is sake one's self or for others and myself because our thoughts and feelings related to altruism and rationality substances in our mental organs. 

During self-witnessing, we must observe three mental organs. The sensorimotor organ in part of corporeal consciousness in layer 9 is the closest between our mental and physical body. Before resuscitation, both altruism and selfism may be expressed through interaction in our natural mind but after resuscitation only one type of love of exist. Now we must observe the cognitive organ and then affective organ of your mental body to follow your thoughts.

Ever since I was introduced to self-witnessing I am more aware of my actions and thoughts. I try to stop myself from taking in hellish thoughts and try to flip it to heavenly traits. It makes me feel better about myself because of this heavenly energy I am capturing. I think this technique should be taught in school, so children will have better and positive lifestyle. It will be easier for them to acquire this skill since they are younger and it will really help them in their future to have altruistic trait, to love others as well as yourself no matter what circumstances. 

Teaching in Schools

The writing of Swendenborg shows that theism in psychology has shows proof of rationality.  I believe that this theory could be very beneficial for international schools in which teach scientific thought.  When presented this information one can obtain a better grasp on their rational consciousness of this theory of God.  An earlier introduction of this concept of God can lead to more critical thinking on the views of this world and the life in it.  Perceptive view of this concept can lead to a better understanding of our ruling loves and how to go about choosing the ones best for us and ultimately our resuscitation process.  

If this was more widely noted then I believe that more can be done to love Him and all of what he has given, which will lead to an immortal life of love, happiness, knowledge, and all virtues.  Children of all ages could be able to understand this theory.  When presenting this theory to my 13-year-old sister and her friends, they were able to understand the major concepts of the mental and physical, as well as began to ask integrating questions on the topic.  Based on this, I believe that the education system could introduce this theory to children in Grade School.  

Mental Psychology

Mental Psychology is a study of the mental world taken as substantive dualism made of or constructed with substance of the Spiritual Sun. Mental anatomy, Mental biochemistry, Mental psychophysiology corresponds to mental body. Theistic specifies building block of mental organs created by Spiritual heat and light. Love, good, and truce are part of Spiritual heat. Divine and human are part of Spiritual light. Only the human race has the ability to rationalize and love. Mental Psychology is study of immortal. It consists of medical process because of its biological features. Mental Psychology helps us recognize and manage to get rid of our hellish traits and replace our ruling love with heavenly traits. We must choose to practice and obtain the ruling love of heavenly traits, free from hell.

The first lesson to learn in Mental psychology is to understand that in order to control the external forces we need to become aware that this is not a judgment, reward, or punishment, but is imposed by a greater force, God.   Our ruling love controls our heaven or hell and rules beyond any other loves underneath it.  After the process of resuscitation each individual will be confronted with the ruling love that is hidden in the conscious mind.  This choice leads a person either to the Grand Human or Grand Monster, heaven or hell.  There are no judgments of any past deeds or any connection to the physical body.  Rather, we choose the one ruling love that has rooted from our consciousness.

This theory of theistic psychology contrasts with the idea of atheism or nontheistic psychology.  Atheism and nontheistic psychology pertain to the negative bias regarding the concept of God.  For the nontheistic, negative bias psychology, any explanatory relation that relies on God as a cause is defined as unscientific.  But for the theistic side, the positive bias psychology has that any explanatory relation that does not rely on the concept of God as a cause is defined an unscientific.  This difference is seen when explaining any natural phenomena on the basis of physical laws rather than look to his Sacred Scripture or his teachings.  

Science does not deal with the phase after death but from the help of mental psychology, they could gain the knowledge of heaven and hell and expand their practice. Everyone needs to know the concept of life-after-death and second death. This information is not accessible due to physical science. They put negative bias on study that does not stop at death. Even the study of God is prevented in their methodology. In mental psychology, we believe that God and the life-after-death exist. Mental psychology is based on mental body and physical body but in non-theistic psychology in negative bias views mental body as "anatomy of body". In positive bias in science, people see the word mental with the concept of dualism and in negative bias, they see mental as physical brain.  The basic dualistic argument, brain vs. mind, substance vs. matter, physical vs. spiritual/mental.

Mental psychology deals with the basic necessities in discriminating the difference between hellish loves and heavenly loves.  This concept is very different from any type of religion, in which many are congregated in worshipping one God.  The Divine Psychologist, God does not endorse a need for daily worship, but rather spreading a sense of love and devotion to things that are good or of good intentions.  Also, unlike religion in which past deeds are taken into account for the final judgment, there is no judgment passed on a person upon death.  Rather, a decision made from the consciousness leading an afterworld of ones ruling loves alongside others with similar ruling loves.   

God, in popular terms, is referred to as the principal or sole deity in religions.  God is worshipped as the creator and overseer of the universe.  There are many conceptions of God, many commonly ascribed include omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence, and divine simplicity.  God has also been conceived as being incorporeal, a personal being, and the source of all moral obligation.  In more scientific terms, God is defined as energy that is neither created nor destroyed.  Both of these two concepts are viable in describing God or the Divine Psychologist.  He is the creator of the Universe, one who was not born and will never die, but is eternal.  He is simply perfect, all knowing, and the basis of all moral choices.  He is not judgmental nor controlling of an individual’s life.  God is a formless being who never began nor will end, who has surrounded us with moral obligations where freewill is given in order to form ruling loves.

If mental psychology is shown to be biological and free of religion, it should be taught in public schools along with lifestyle skills and mental health. Children understand the virtual world, which overlaps or is closely related to the mental world. It makes perfect sense to them when you discuss about theistic, god, and omnipotence with a child because they were not raised or old enough who were not affected by negative bias that we face and now we have to change the way we are or think differently. Children are advisable because they still acquire concrete mind that it would be easier to advise them with this type of view. It is a good preparation for regeneration, to acquire and manage their weaknesses. 

The study of mental psychology has restored the existence of the concept of dualism. We involve the theistic view to understand the concept of correspondence with the spiritual world. By believing in God's existence we are able to let God manage and operate our mental organs for different purposes. God is accepted many society and culture. God is infinite and does not have beginning because he is omnipotent. God is not part of creation because we have a beginning. Infinite is not endless. In eternity, time is not dimension so time does not exist. It is not physical so there is no time, and no end. Outside time, there is a beginning. God exist outside of time. Science must first acquire God as part of them and it must be reclaimed in concept in science because mental psychology as science cannot associate with religion. Scientific definition of God is essential in both physical and mental world.
