We will devote several issues of “The Gift” to mental life: feelings, states, relationships.
Feelings and Relationships (1)
psychoteka (Greek psyche soul + theke storage, cf. library, film library, card index) - a certain set of psychological states inherent in a given individual or culture.
Love and passion are not pre-divided along the shelves of psychotherapies . Almost every soul is familiar with the struggle between these two states, liberating and enslaving.Gloat? No, this feeling is not in my psychotherapie , I don’t even rent it.The psychology of Russian culture includes such states that cannot be translated into other languages as “daring revelry” and “heartbreak.”
Soul turmoil - spinning, spinning, vanity, tossing as a state of mind.
Again there is some kind of turmoil in my soul. - The devil is twisting you. You can't live with such heartbreak . And with faith you will live.This word was probably first used by Viktor Astafiev:comes over me When such a mental state , I can’t do anything,
I want to run away from myself, but she follows me everywhere.
And everything in him is bleeding: the heart, the liver, the spleen, because every trouble, every turmoil in the soul first of all finds the unfortunate one roaring. ("Tsar Fish", 1972-1975).
soul-dream - a state when everything in the soul dances, worries, cannot concentrate and calm down; internal dispersion, hesitation, exhausting the soul.
Well, he started to dance again . A flying whirlwind hits him. A word of wisdom from
you won't wait for him.
Now I have such a soulful dance like a midge in the evening rays... I was going to Moscow,
but ended up in my inner moskovia .
moshkovia - the kingdom of midges; a mosquito-like, trembling mass of volatile mental states.
It echoes “blood”, bloody, and essentially “ reveal ” and means shedding someone else’s soul-blood (in some languages, for example, in Hebrew, these concepts are denoted by the same root).
No need to tell me . Here's another confessor found!
He has the gift of opening up to strangers. They easily trust him with their secrets.____________________________________________________________You will reveal it in vain . You yourself will not be happy - he will harass you with his confessions.
I won’t tell him , he tells himself.
In the "Russian Journal" (March 24, 2007) Olga Balla published a review " Somatodicy and the fate of rationalism " on the book by M. Epstein "Philosophy of the Body" and G. Tulchinsky "Body of Freedom" - two monographs published on the same cover (St. Petersburg, Aletheia, 2006). The theme of the book is a new concept of the body in the information age, when the specificity of man is increasingly defined as the “embodied mind” (as opposed to the mind operating in information systems and computers).
The Nezavisimaya Gazeta (March 22, 2007) published an interview between Alexey Nilogov and Mikhail Epstein: Multiplication of entities and voids. Mikhail Epstein expands the capabilities of the Russian language.

Memo
chronoAt - a person who inadequately perceives or reacts to time, constantly violating psychosocial norms for handling time; someone who is constantly late, does everything at the wrong time, violates agreed deadlines.
He is so sweet, charming, but why is he always late? - Don’t be angry, he’s just a chronopath and he himself suffers deeply from this.
Why are there so many chronopaths among philosophers? - A philosopher should be a chronopath , he lives by the clock of world history, and according to our pitiful time calculation, he is always late, and if he arrives on time, it is not where he is expected._________________________________________________________________
