Metapsychology
METAPSYCHOLOGY
2007 Dr Romesh Senewiratne (MBBS, Australia, 1983)
In 2004 I pondered the concept of 'metapsychology' without realising that
the word was already in popular, if not widespread use. This is what
resulted:
Definition of Metapsychology:
The science of mass psychological effects and phenomena, including
their influence on the individual minds of humans and other animals.
Includes:
1. Interactions between individuals of the same species
2. Interactions between individuals of different species
3. Interactions between groups of the same species
4. Interactions between groups of different species
5. Analysis of interactions between all minds within the total ecosystem
6. Set theory as applied to group psychology
7. Collective consciousness:
i)
shared and individual knowledge
ii)
shared and individual beliefs
iii) shared and individual delusions (incorrect beliefs)
iv) shared and individual memories
v)
shared and individual emotional reactions
vi) shared and individual imaginings/concepts/ideas
vii) shared and individual hopes
viii) shared and individual expectations
ix) shared and individual fears
x)
shared and individual actions
xi) shared and individual attitudes
xii) shared and individual virtues
xiii) shared and individual vices
8. Collective and individual subconscious:
i)
instincts
ii)
cultural inheritance and influences
iii) familial inheritance and influences

9. Unconscious psychophysiology
i)

14.Psychological warfare
15.Psychological genocide as an aspect of cultural genocide
Central point of the vertebrate brain and mind:
Contending midline structures:
i)
optic chiasma
ii)
pineal (potential for crystallization)
iii) hypothalamus
iv) thalamus
Frontal Lobes
see figure 1
(planning, aspects of conscious
decision making and abstract
thought; all voluntary movement
depends on motor cortex in
precentral gyrus and frontal eye
fields- see fig 2)
Pineal (fig 3)
EYES
Light converted to
electrochemical
signals; eyes also
used for unspoken
and spoken
communication
with others relying
on actions of
extraocular
muscles - see fig 4
Suprachiasmatic
nucleus of
hypothalamus
circadian clock
Hypothalamus
Thalamus
(receives audio and
visual inputs as well
as other sensory
data) see fig 7
Synthesises melatonin
from dietary
tryptophan via
serotonin during
darkness at night;
affects pituitary
hormones: see fig 4

?role in perception of
rhythm and urge to
dance)
DOPA
Dopamine
Noradrenaline
Adrenaline
The main area of synthesis of noradrenaline (NA) in the brain is the locus
ceruleus (blue area) in the brainstem. NA acts as a neurotransmitter in many
parts of the brain, as do dopamine, serotonin, acetyl choline and glutamate.
Indole amines are synthesised from the essential amino acid tryptophan,
which contains an indole ring:
CH2.CHNH2.COOH
NH
Tryptophan
Frontal Lobes

decision making and abstract

Sound converted to
electrochemical

movement and
position also used
for unspoken
communication by
many other
mammals
