I studied cognitive science for a while and think I have a few theories about what can improve mental health.

The idea is that most of the bad effects from episodes and related come from a lack of simplicity and purity. The reactions to perceived negative stimulation.

So the idea is to train yourself not to emotionally react much and look at things in a simple way. You can do this through the most common form of meditation. Which has been shown to improve brain structure.

What you want to do is close your eyes and just let your thoughts flow. Try not to react to them, just know they're there. Let your brain do the thinking. Try to be a neutral observer.

This can be coupled with a mindset of simplicity, which should help with delusions as well. Do not quickly form beliefs and observe things with an open mind. Because the mind is strongly affected by belief it stops looking for information once you've formed a belief. So in theory this should allow you to absorb more information and come to more sound conclusions.

So basically, purity and simplicity = clarity and peace.

It says more about you than it does about me that you extract that from a benign sentence. I will pray for you.

My point exactly. I told my view and you assumed immediately that I'm hurt. If you don't want peoples point of view, why are you here venting?

No I didn't mean to vent, this was meant for the health section of the forum. Your opinion is perfectly welcome.

You have some negative previous experience with "people of science" though. Is all I was saying. I suppose a lot of people have on this forum.

No not quite. It's an informal education. I'm just basing this on things I have studied. I mean it's nothing harmful, just the natural state of the brain. The natural state of awareness and simplicity. It's like a mental rest that improves brain function mixed with a lack of cognitive distortions that can sometimes alter our perception of reality.

Christianity is built around the knowledge that faith and belief alter perceptions, and outside of my knowledge sometimes reality. I understand that last part a bit less.

Well it's a bit flawed in that I haven't been tested on the material, but knowledge is not a degree, that's a falsehood perpetuated by the education system.

I mean should I say be disregarded simply because I study as hobby and study several fields that if I had gotten a degree in all of them would probably cost me quite a lot of money I don't have?

Well you can use those too if you want. That's not required though. The main idea is to train yourself not to easily react to things. This brings calmness and mental rest.
No, I was asking what your interesting cognitive therapy for mental health was?

well that's up to you. but it does kind of seem you think you have a good idea here and would like positive feedback on it

you might not have got a degree even if you attempted to get one

I'm not a fortune teller :whistle:
