Psychology is about the Mind. Mind is a phenotype of brain, and brain is a component of the body. The primary purpose of Mind is to interface the body with the outside world.

Although the Mind has a broad array of faculties and attributes, it is mostly a tool for getting what you want. Thus, the central issue in psychology is to decide what you want and then to go about figuring out how to get that. If, at the high end, if what you want is infinite survival, then it becomes a challenged of organizing and developing one's mind toward that purpose.

That is the subject of Chapter III of the Manual. Briefly, the major objectives are as follows. First, one becomes convinced of the philosophical proof of the Ideology. Then, the next objective is to structure one's identity to that system of thought. That is an incremental process, involving mostly what might be called neuro-linguistic reprogramming (thought -> speech -> action -> reiterations & modifications). Mostly, it is a matter of developing an effective intelligence within the ideological system; and that is a long-term enterprise requiring action and calculation and practice and persistence.

A standard notion in philosophy is that Civilization is created by a great Story and a great Analysis. In Western Civilization, this dyad is characterized by Jerusalem, as the Story, and Newton/Darwin, as the Analysis - i.e., the metaphor of Christ and the modern Science method. Between these two configurations, the "super structure" of the Western individual identity is created. Different civilizations have different stories and analyses. In the Ideology of the Goal of Infinite Survival, the great Analysis is the Ideology itself (the goal of infinite survival as the purpose with its ontology, epistemology, and practicum) and the great Story is how each individual lives one's life within that paradigm. This is a novel construction, transcending the historical and contemporary, ethno-centric traditions.
