Andrew M. LOBACZEWSKI - "Chirurgia słowa"

Keeping the important topics hot, here is the introduction of the book :

FROM THE AUTHOR

I present this work to the PT Readers [ ??? "Oddaję tę pracę w ręce PT Czytelników" ???] as proof of my return not only to my old homeland, but also to the interests of a clinical psychologist: I ask, however, that I be allowed to share my memories of the most difficult times. Besides the request of my old friends to make my achievements and clinical experience accessible to a new generation of psychologists, those experiences were the second reason I undertook this work in my old age. They are also present to some extent in the content of this book.

When I arrived in the United States in 1978, after many hardships, I was already, unfortunately, recognized by the then intelligence agencies as a bearer of extremely dangerous knowledge about the nature and psychology of this now-transient pathopolitical system. Such a man should, at the very least, have been silenced. Ideally, however, he should not have survived on the New York streets. Within the first few weeks, I was entangled in a system of intrigues whose perfidy surpassed the imagination of even an experienced psychologist. I also had no idea how drained and dependent the Polish institutions there were.

Confidential information about me reached everyone who wanted to believe it. I was immediately accused of insulting a respectable woman whom I hadn't even had the privilege of knowing. The rumor spread that it wasn't me, but some younger, suspicious man who had arrived using my credentials. The former director of Radio WE received a confidential warning that I was a special agent who had come to organize an assassination attempt on him—and he believed it. Jews received information about my alleged anti-Semitism.

I was denied any help, not even a frank conversation. A social boycott was declared. More sensible people distanced themselves from me "just on the safe side." Working for bread in the harshest conditions had broken my strength. Passing on this dangerous knowledge to the scientists there was out of the question. I survived thanks to God's protection. However, I never doubted that the time would come when I would be able to return to Poland.

In such circumstances, I began to learn the customs of this country and its psychological diversity, its highly complex social relations and politics. After several years, I was able to once again draw on scientific literature and occasionally offer assistance to those compatriots whose mental health was threatened in this hostile world.
When I was finally able to return to Poland after thirteen years of absence, I found a picture of destruction far deeper than I could have imagined while living there, overseas. The psychological organizations at whose meetings I had been a frequent speaker had ceased to exist. So I tried to establish contact with university centers, where I met academics I had once known. In the meantime, however, they had become different people. Habits of submission and a certain acceptance of pathological authority have become commonplace in this country. In psychology, the prohibitions imposed by this authority still apply.

Unfortunately; At every step, I could observe how the lack of the psychological data I had exported, which should have returned to the country on time and on radio waves, immunized people's personalities and provided support for their healthy criticism, unfortunately opened the way to poisoning people's minds.

Was this failure to fulfill my task also my fault? Did I fail to seize some opportunity? I will never find a satisfactory answer, although I still think back to certain situations. My body couldn't handle it. Nec Hercules contra plures.

Under the conditions of pathopolitical rule, an engineer, physicist, astronomer, or pharmacist might not have felt the control over their field too painfully. Psychology, especially clinical psychology, and psychiatry were, however, sciences that permanently threatened to expose the pathological nature of such supposedly popular power. Perfidious control over them, the erasure of all data that could serve such a diagnosis, or their appropriate retouching, were a vital necessity of such a system. It was also necessary to treat appropriately those suspected of already understanding too much and ensure that such individuals did not obtain academic positions.

In medicine, similar restrictions applied to medical psychology, the more subtle aspects of psychiatry, the study of psychopathy, and some aspects of human genetics. This impaired the professional preparation of doctors only slightly and depending on the type of specialization. However, it was ruining psychiatry. This situation should be overcome for the good of medical science, which constitutes a whole, and for the good of those patients who need this very knowledge.

I have yet to meet a scientist who understands the causes of this immanent control. Therefore, it continues to operate within them, even though it has become anachronistic. Psychological works published today bear this consequence, and their language is difficult to understand. Meanwhile, psychology forms an organic whole to a greater extent than medicine. Deprived of certain elements and distorted by others, it ceases to function as a whole.

Therefore, I decided to turn to practicing psychologists; in whom daily contact with people in need of help has developed the necessary discipline of thought and a sense of psychological realities. I want to speak to these colleagues about matters of our daily work, to facilitate and modernize it. I therefore dedicate this work to those psychologists, as well as physicians, who, for the good of others, seek support in an unadulterated understanding of psychological reality. I have selected here issues that constitute the quantitative core of the daily work of a clinical psychologist, striving to provide practical assistance in solving various human problems.

This work is based primarily on past Polish experience in diagnostics and psychotherapy, and is dedicated to the well-being of people living in our country. Data from foreign sources have already been adapted for our needs. Therefore, its recommendations do not require adaptation, as they have been transferred from sometimes very different cultural, social, and economic conditions.

With the exception of the second chapter, devoted to research on the nature of evil, the reader will not encounter extensive theoretical considerations. The work primarily offers sound advice for diagnosticians and psychotherapists, based on my own experience but enriched with in-depth theoretical reflection. I have tried to simplify the language of this work as much as possible to make it accessible to non-psychologists. Nevertheless, it offers a modern approach consistent with the best trends in science and practice.

I highlighted the above because it explains that main stream psychology (and psychiatry) did NOT make it through the complexity of the mind - so those are seemingly UNABLE to fathom "the reality" of psychology. Harsh, but promizing finding. Much can and could be done.

People feature a psychology which belongs to them - they are how they are, depending on their sum of knowledge and what they have in mind. "Psychology" here means their mental state. Psychological reality (and being unable to grasp the psychological reality) - means "what's the objective situation of that person's mind". If main stream psychology & psychiatrists don't know there exist people born with native predatoristic features - it shall be difficult for them to write books accurately describing the basic "varieties" of peope in our world. 80 years of this, of psychology & psychiatry, incomplete disciplines & teachings. Unable to objectively match the reality of the psychology of various people.

Leter we can read on a reason for this (or perhaps, a consequence):

Because psychopathy played a significant and inspiring role in the pathological system that operated in Poland for 44 years, the entire area encompassed by similar systems was mandated to disseminate pseudoscience on the subject. This was a result of the system's inherent self-awareness. This "science" was intended to conflate psychopathic phenomena with other problems that had nothing to do with them, blurring nosological distinctions and preventing students of medicine and psychology from learning to distinguish between the essential characteristics of psychopathy and individuals exhibiting them.

There exist real specific problems that are "amalgamated" with other troubles, making those undetected for what they are. That would be the way the big problem in our society is: concealed because conflated / amalgamated. A whole deal of "conflation methods" (or strategies) - may exist.

A. Lobaczewski teaches about the general issue of "psychopathology", vectorized by "psychopaths" - people born with rare DNA sequences that are different than the common man. That is what seems to become "amalgamated".

Here is a quote that which caught my attention, right after:

Taking the issue of evil from a practical perspective, it is extremely rare to encounter behavior that seriously harms a person without the influence of some pathological factor at its origin.

I assume if A. Lobaczewski is that bold in his assessment, we could set this as a general rule. This means in our world, in society - wherever - "serious harm always have ties to" "a pathological factor" "lurking somewhere". Always.

We are far from main stream & folk wisdom's models, which state & teach second-hand advices on "how the world is" (or "functions").

On that note - what is it that the world commonly teaches, in terms of reality and "how to deal with things"? Asking you so that we may go throught the common mistakes which pass off as "wisdom".

(I wrote some lines, but highlighted the most important parts in my opinion, in orange, so that the reader can stick with the substance I wanted to present; so, two lines only)

Super book, perhaps less great than Political ponerology because the latter was probably aimed at describing the most accurate elements, for a wide audience. I was studying it but I've lost my computer data so I have to retranslate it from Polish again. I've lost more data than this book. All of my studies on comets, and history got wiped out. I did not have the courage to start again from scratch. I decided to get back at it that is why I am posting some excerpts. Thank you for reading , your consideration and your comments!

Psychopaths in power play by bent rules that they create that take advantage of the general public's normal but vulnerable empathy, and what could be labeled as associated naivety. The PTB are aware of 'hidden variables' or 'confounding variables' that we don't know about; they use that ignorance for dominance - basically a predator-prey dynamic. The Cs recently said something to the effect that we should be glad that our relationship with 4D STS is changing. More lessons afoot, 'third man' becoming more visible it seems, balance, a level playing field.

associated naivety

I find this to be a precious conceptual finding! Thank you! I have been stumbling upon this aspect and believe it ties to the principle of "lack of knowledge" (if I was to remain "conceptual").

I stumbled upon this idea ("lack of knowledge" being the culprit) here:

Andrew M. Lobaczewski - "Political ponerology"

Ever since ancient times, philosophers and religious thinkers representing various attitudes in different cultures have been searching for the truth regarding moral values, attempting to find criteria for what is right, and what constitutes good advice. They have described the virtues of human character at length and suggested these be acquired. They have created a heritage containing centuries of experience and reflection. In spite of the obvious differences of originating cultures and attitudes, even though they worked in widely divergent times and places, the similarity, or complementary nature, of the conclusions reached by famous ancient philosophers are striking. It demonstrates that whatever is valuable is conditioned and caused by the laws of nature acting upon the personalities of both individual human beings and collective societies. It is equally thought-provoking to see how relatively little has been said about the opposite side of the coin; the nature, causes, and genesis of evil. These matters are usually cloaked behind the above generalized conclusions with a certain amount of secrecy. Such a state of affairs can be partially ascribed to the social conditions and historical circumstances under which these thinkers worked; their modus operandi may have been dictated at least in part by personal fate, inherited traditions, or even prudishness. After all, justice and virtue are the opposites of force and perversity; the same applies to truthfulness vs. mendacity, similarly like health is the opposite of an illness. It is also possible that whatever they thought or said about the true nature of evil was later expunged and hidden by those very forces they sought to expose.

The character and genesis of evil thus remained hidden in discreet shadows, leaving it to literature to deal with the subject in highly expressive language. But, expressive though the literary language might be, it has never reached the primeval source of the phenomena. A certain cognitive space remained as an uninvestigated thicket of moral questions which resist understanding and philosophical generalizations.

It shows troubles arising because of "an un-investigated thicket", and the lack of conscience on a certain amount of things. Evil, pathology, etc - all the things that A. Lobaczewski points out. People dedicated efforts on "love", beauty and the positive aspects of things.

A scrambler in regard of my idea is the fact that STS would of course opt for preventing the knowledge to be spread.

This lays down a sort of equation I could not get out of, but hinting at "lack of knowledge" and "preventing knowledge"; a sort of loop, obviously. "Associated naïvety" may originate here, in midst of a process manipulating a positive aspect of human beings.

(That is my quest on "the how's & why's". Trying to get at the root of things)
