The Human Mind

Dr. Wagner Paulon

2008

Just as we own a large store of memories, we can

recognize, appreciate and aspire vast number of
opportunities to satisfy our instincts, which is completely
denied to trees, dogs and earthworms. But the spirit is
more than just memories and aphorism.

These contents in, after all, using the same physical

equipment and simple dogs and, to some extent, the
worms have in common with us. (In this the plant
kingdom is different, of course.) Walking, fight, feel,
breathe, hear a concert, love or to apply for deputy, all
this machinery requires not only physical and
psychological. They are products of stimuli to act -
through the spirit - on the muscles and glands.

The exchange of psychological and physical, in fact, is

such that, except for theoretical purposes, are almost
inseparable. There could be disputes among
psychologists about whether a man ran because he was
afraid or was scared because I ran. We now know that
both attitudes are true, the race is part of the action of
mind on that issue as much as lightening the skin or
palpitation of the heart, the shiver of the hair or the
illusion of seeing a ghost.

It consists of an impossible task, discuss with an

advantage over different types of mind without referring
to the various factors that come to form the different
types of human beings. Psychologists used to think that
the spirit was, simply, brain function, just as the bile is a

1
product of the liver and the breathing function of the
lungs. We now know that it requires much more than two
lungs for breathing (also a nose, trachea, some chest
muscles, diaphragm and a regulating center). We,
likewise, that the brain is only one of the organs of spirit,
that is only part of the mechanism that assists individuals
in their adaptations.

The psyche depends to some extent, the storage of

memories in the brain, but also depends on sensory nerve
endings in the skin of the extremities and motor nerve,
muscle, depends on the muscles and to some extent, all
physical structures body.

Given these factors mentioned above conclude that, by

writing on the human mind, must abandon the project of
writing about it to be the repository of small tricks of the
brain. We have to write about it as a process of
adjustment. And this, it was difficult, because writing
about processes is a matter of no substance, it is in
humans and how these processes apply to them that
people are interested. How can we state that our focus of
interest is the human being as a bundle of instincts,
habits, memories, organs, muscles and sensations,
passing everything through a process, a process
constantly changing in an effort to become more
comfortable, constantly modifying their environment for
the same purpose, and constantly being modified by their
environment, sometimes for better and worse for others?

The term (Personality) "organization consisting of all the

cognitive, affective, volitional and physical properties of
an individual" serves our purpose. She, naturally, has
been used to describe almost anything from the attributes

2
of the soul to a new talc. The way that I will use it, means
the individual as a whole, your height and weight, his
loves and hates, their blood pressure and its
consequences, their smiles, hopes, and their leggy
inflamed tonsils. It means everything and everyone is all
she is trying to be. That is the meaning of modern
psychiatric term "personality" (Organization consists of all
the cognitive, affective, volitional and physical properties
of an individual).
