What is idolatry?

Idolatry is to make any thing or anyone more important than God at any time in any way for any reason.

Idolatry is therefore also to seek from the material world that which can only come from God...aka SELFISHLY USE anyone, or ABUSE or MISUSE anyone or anything as a means to the end of physical pleasure or psychological happiness, peace, contentment, joy, fulfillment, love / respect, etc.

What is psychological happiness, peace, contentment, joy, fulfillment, love / respect, etc.?

Answer: Truth, Love, Virtues...the absence of shame, unhappiness, anxiousness, paranoid, emotionally depressed, embarrassed, afraid, worried, emotional stress, overwhelmed, anger, lust, loneliness, emptiness, unfulfilled, unloved, disrespected, etc.

What is Truth, Love, Virtues?

Answer: The Trinitarian God; Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. Truth, Love, Virtues are a Who, not a What. Therefore happiness, peace, contentment, joy, fulfillment, love / respect, etc. are The Trinitarian God; Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.  Thereby making the correct question to be, Who is Truth, Love, Virtues?

If God is perfect Truth, Love, Virtues...created us in His image and likeness...and loves us beyond our understanding,...then Why don't we feel happy, at peace, content, joyful, fulfilled, loved, respected, not alone, unashamed, etc.?

Answer: Because we are intellectually and emotionally sinning and thereby ignoring and rejecting God and His Truth, Love, Virtues in various detailed ways.

What is immorality; sin?

Answer: The Absence of Truth, Love, Virtues...the Absence of The Trinitarian God; Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.

What is psychological / psychology?

Answer: Knowledge and Study Of the Human intellectual free will Soul...from the Greek and Latin

What is the psyche / psych?

Answer: The Human intellectual free will Soul...from the Greek and Latin

What is the Human intellectual free will Soul?

Answer: The form of the body/brain, animator of the body/brain, primary to the body/brain, and functions without the use of the body/brain....from Doctor of the Catholic Church St. Thomas Aquinas.

The human "intellect" and "free will" are powers of the human "Soul" that are inseparable and cannot function apart from each other. The intellectual free will Soul is the animator of the body/brain, the form of the body/brain, primary to the body/brain, and functions without the use of any corporal organ (aka functions without the use of the brain)...so says Doctor of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas.

Everything psychological is intellectually freely chosen consciously, while the person (at least by the age of reason; age 7) usually freely chooses to fail to try to be self-aware and fails to remember choosing so, sometimes willfully. When the person is not thinking and feeling the particular intellectual act, that is when the intellectual act is intellectually "subconscious"...

"Conscious" and "subconscious" are intellectual states of both, freely chosen, and accidentally chosen, intellectual attention and focus, NOT locations in the brain.

What are psychological emotions and feelings, both good ones and bad ones?

Both good and bad psychological emotions and feelings, are the abstract spiritual emotional and abstract spiritual feeling affects of the human intellect and free will's chosen: attractions, wants/desires, likes, dislikes, expectations, beliefs, and thoughts.

Brute animals, which only have a brain, cannot do anything abstract intellectually and emotionally, therefore, none of this above list can ever be caused by the brain, and as such, brute animals do not have an intellectual free will Soul.

What is abstract intellectual activity?

Answer: Freely chosen thinking and feeling about the non-material, ability to recognize, understand, and explain what is Truth, Love, Virtue and what is false, unloving, unvirtuousness, understanding and explaining concepts, having ideas and opinions, creativity for the sake of beauty, self-awareness, the ability to name, define, and explain something, the ability to think about the distant future, etc.

Example: If a human thinks or believes, "I am a monkey." this is an abstract thought and belief (be it false) that can only be chosen by the intellect and free will of the Soul. A monkey never has the ability to think or believe, "I am a human being.", because this is an example of abstract thinking. Therefore, logically, a monkey can also never think or believe or feel in any psychologically dysfunctional way. In the same manner, a monkey cannot think or believe, "I am a monkey.", because that is also an abstract thought and belief (be it true). The inability to think abstractly is why brute animals cannot be self-aware.

What is concrete intellectual activity?

Answer: Thinking and feeling about the most rudimentary basic practical physical sensations, desires, and experiences in order to stay alive and promulgate the species. Everything else is abstract thinking.

How are psychotropic medications designed?

Psychotropic medications are designed after and imitate the cerebral affects of illicit drugs such as cocaine, etc. on the brain. Called "legal" and defined as "socially acceptable" by human beings with power (but no authority to decide what is right and wrong).

How do psychotropic medications work?

Psychotropic medications interfere with the natural healthy brain chemistry affects of the person's freely chosen intellectual psychological choices, in order to distract and hinder the person's intellectual self-awareness of their bad abstract spiritual emotional suffering consequences of the person's freely chosen intellectual abstract: attractions, wants/desires, likes, dislikes, expectations, beliefs, and thoughts, that are the absence of and rejection of Truth, Love, and Virtues, i.e. rejection of God in individual details.

Who is God?

God IS Truth, Love, Virtues. Truth, Love, Virtues only come from God. If we have / do any Truth, Love, Virtues, that means God is working in with and through us.

The absence of Truth, Love, Virtues is the definition of "sin", i.e. "immoral". Everything that is the absence of Truth, Love, Virtues is harmful, bad, wrong, false, irrational, dysfunctional, distorted, evil, etc. Everything that is and is not the absence of Truth, Love, Virtues is freely chosen and therefore morally qualifiable.

What is our fault and responsibility?

Every single intellectual act (includes emotional acts and exterior acts) that is true, good, right, realistic, correct, rational, functional, helpful, etc. that we choose to agree with and want, using our intellect and free will to choose of our Soul, which originate from God (Truth, Love, Virtues).

Every single intellectual act (includes emotional acts and exterior acts) that is false, bad, wrong, unrealistic, distorted, irrational, dysfunctional, harmful, which originate from our intellect and free will to choose of our Soul, of which needs to be repented of (recognized as an error that we freely chose, be sorry for choosing it, and want to not choose it any more) to God (Truth, Love, Virtues) while actively seeking Him (His Truth, Love, Virtues) directly from Him in relationship, to replace it.

"The body feels not but the soul through the body." - St. Augustine of Hippo

Passions become morally qualifiable when they result from the intellect and free will of the Soul, and when we fail to check and regulate them with our intellect and free will of our Soul....

"If by vice we understand a habit of doing evil deeds, it is evident that no passion is a vice. But if vice is taken to mean sin which is a vicious act, nothing hinders a passion from being a vice, or, on the other hand, from concurring in an act of virtue; in so far as a passion is either opposed to reason or in accordance with reason. {For example} some passions are reckoned to be vices, such as envy and anger." - Doctor of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas

"whereas the other emotions of the soul, which are not passions, are movements of the intellective appetite or will; but only in the point of the passions being, as they maintained, any emotions in disaccord with reason. These emotions could not be in a wise or virtuous man if they arose deliberately: while it would be possible for them to be in a wise man, if they arose suddenly: because, in the words of Aulus Gellius [Noct. Attic. xix, 1, quoted by Augustine (De Civ. Dei ix, 4), "it is not in our power to call up the visions of the soul, known as its fancies; and when they arise from awesome things, they must needs disturb the mind of a wise man, so that he is slightly startled by fear, or depressed with sorrow," in so far as "these passions forestall the use of reason without his approving of such things or consenting thereto."" - Doctor of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas

"Accordingly, if the passions be taken for inordinate emotions, they cannot be in a virtuous man, so that he consent to them deliberately; as the Stoics maintained. But if the passions be taken for any movements of the sensitive appetite, they can be in a virtuous man, in so far as they are subordinate to reason. Hence Aristotle says (Ethic. ii, 3) that "some describe virtue as being a kind of freedom from passion and disturbance; this is incorrect, because the assertion should be qualified": they should have said virtue is freedom from those passions "that are not as they should be as to manner and time."" - Doctor of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas

The Bottom Line

Every detailed absence of Truth, Love, Virtues in, with, and through our intellect and free will to choose of our Soul is the definition of sin, and therefore is a sin...this includes our psychological emotions, feelings, and attractions, all of which are abstract concepts that result from our freely chosen intellectual thoughts, beliefs, expectations, wants/desires, likes, and dislikes.

We cannot be healed of or forgiven of any sin we're doing intellectually, emotionally, and/or physically that we fail to actively directly honestly specifically be sorry for and repent of.

We can't repent of what we are not self-aware of.  To fail to try to be self-aware is a sin.  To not want to be self-aware is a mortal sin.  To not want the Truth about our sins is a mortal sin.

We can't become self-aware of all of our intellectual emotional sins when our brain is distracting our intellect of our soul through psychotropic medications, narcotics, alcohol, illicit drugs, nicotine, entertainment media, etc...This distraction is possible because "the lessor (brain) can hinder the greater (intellect of the soul)" - Doctor of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas

Failing to repent of a sin (intellectual, emotional, or physical) means we keep intellectually freely choosing to do the sin!

Failing to be self-aware of a sin means we keep freely choosing to do the intellectual, emotional, and physical sin!

Failing to be self-aware of a sin, means we believe we are doing nothing wrong!

Failing to believe that we are doing something wrong, means we fail to be sorry for and repent of the sin!

Failing to be sorry and repent of the sin, means we believe we don't need to be forgiven!

Failing to believe we need to be forgiven, means we are rejecting being forgiven by God for the sin!

Failing to want to be forgiven by God for the sin, means we cannot be given His Truth, Love, Virtues to replace the sin!

Failing to want God's Truth, Love, Virtues to replace the sin, means we cannot be healed of the sin!

Failing to be healed of a sin, means that we keep emotionally and physically suffering our natural consequences from the sin more and more!

Failing to work to stop doing venial sins ("small sins") leads us to choosing mortal sins ("big sins")!

Failing to stop doing mortal sin means we are cut off from Truth, Love, Virtues!

The highest degree of Absence of Truth, Love, and Virtues IS ALL psychological disorders and addictions!

All psychological disorders and addictions of which are comprised of psychological (abstract) thoughts, beliefs, expectations, wants/desires, likes, dislikes, emotions, feelings, and attractions, is all morally qualifiable!

"Holy Spirit, daily show me all of my sins, including all of the lies I believe, and show me how to recognize, all sin, thank You."

Begin by repenting all day every day each and everyone of your bad psychological emotions and feelings and asking for God's Truth, Love, Virtues to replace them.

"Jesus I'm sorry I feel ____, heal me, fill me with Your Graces, Virtues, Love, and Truth, show me Your Truth, show me the lies I believe and bad wants/desires I have that are causing myself to feel this, thank you Jesus for Your Healing, Truth, and Love."

Stop the Blaming and Be Sorry...To Start the Healing!
