NEW232Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Mpu Prapanca, Emotional Reasoning, Cognitive Therapy
Document Summary
Prapanca: the tendency to distort or misinterpret experiences, a false reality we sculpt based on our anxieties and biases we take a thought and create a false reality around it, cognitive therapy is a good combat to this. Commonalities: most human suffering is caused by prapanca, self-viewed as construction -- schema based on experiences, nature of distortion is that it makes the odds very real. *don"t believe everything you think just because you think it. *hold your thoughts lightly to make room for shifting, then you can evolve. I simply abandoned it, destroyed it, dispelled it, wiped it out of existence. : this has actually really helped me with getting annoyed about random shit with people -- i don"t follow the negative feeling and it subsides. Self schema: whatever role you play you have a series of schemas about that -- a network of beliefs, attitudes, perceptions, etc, relinquish identification with the poisoned schema.
