Psychology is a science.

Psychology is a science.

It studies how the human mind, body, and emotions really work. Over time, psychology has learned something important: Healthy relationships need a clear structure. That structure includes: 1. safety instead of fear 2. honesty instead of pretending 3. calming big feelings instead of being controlled by them 4. boundaries instead of aggression or people-pleasing 5.

Spiritually, there are five basic personality types.

Spiritually, there are five basic personality types.

One of them is called a wicked personality that knows good. A wicked personality doesn’t always mean someone is evil. It means a person knows what good is, but sometimes acts from anger, jealousy, or fear instead of honesty and care. Many people relate to this personality. They may understand right and wrong. They may […]

Atheism asks you to believe something very hard.

Atheism asks you to believe something very hard.

That pain has no deeper reason. That suffering is random. That love, meaning, and goodness are accidents. That’s not “neutral.” That takes a lot of faith. It asks you to believe that everything you care about came from nothing, means nothing, and is going nowhere. Belief in an infinite Creator who is good says something […]

Sometimes a person decides:

Sometimes a person decides:

“Your opinion doesn’t matter.” That thought feels safer for them. But instead of saying it out loud, they make rules to support it. They might say: 1. “I’m always right.” 2. “I don’t need advice.” 3. “People are too sensitive.” 4. “Strong people don’t listen to imperfect people.” These rules sound like values. But they […]

You only feel what your personality allows.

You only feel what your personality allows.

Your personality is like a filter. It decides: 1. what you notice 2. what you feel 3. what you can connect with If parts of your personality are guarded, rushed, numb, or afraid, your awareness stays basic, even if truth is right in front of you. That’s not a failure. It’s protection. Spirituality isn’t escaping […]

Why the Oral Law Was Eventually Written?

Why the Oral Law Was Eventually Written?

The Torah that G-d gave to Moses and the Jewish people at Sinai contained two parts: The Written Torah (the Five Books of Moses), and the Oral Torah, which explains how the Written Torah is lived, understood, and applied. From the days of Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses) until the time of Rabbeinu Hakadosh, the Oral Law […]

The moment a thought says:

The moment a thought says:

“I want truth.” “I want connection.” “I want to begin again.” The soul is already whole again, even if the habits haven’t caught up yet. One thought doesn’t finish the journey. But it reconnects the soul to the body. And once connection is restored, everything else can heal. NextSelf 2026 Index NextSelf 2025 Index

You learn how AI will affect your work

by asking AI questions. Not by waiting. Not by reading long explanations. Learning happens when you try things. When you ask AI about your work: 1. You see what it can do 2. You see what it can’t do 3. You see where you are still needed That is learning. Just like you learn a […]

The mind is the gateway to the soul.

The mind is the gateway to the soul.

The soul’s strengths are awe and love. The mind lets you live through those strengths. Trauma weakens awe. Not because the soul is broken, but because the nervous system learned to stay guarded. When the mind focuses on the Creator’s greatness and oneness for a few minutes, it creates awe. Awe opens you emotionally. That […]

NextSelf’s Guides to Ancient Wisdom

*Correction on previous posts: Chabad Rebbeim explain feelings of aggression are through the Sefirot/energies of Netzach/Victory and Hod I write G-d below, because a Jewish tradition is to bury pages in the ground with G-d’s name when they are no longer used, instead of throwing in the garbage, it’s an act of reverence, it helps […]
