Why Ontopsychology? A “condicio sine qua non”…

It is on the day of his 77th birthday that Antonio Meneghetti decides to explain to the public his personal and scientific journey which led to the formalization of Ontopsychology, defined by him as an “extraordinary core of thought that changed my life”. And even more than that. On the 9th of March 2013 there are more than 200 participants from all over the world at the FOIL center in Marudo attending the conference entitled “Why Ontopsychology?”. In order to understand the importance of this new trend, it is necessary to realize the labor that Meneghetti went through as an academic, as an intellect that “searched in various sources and bought many pieces of bread from different bakeries on this planet”.
Going through different philosophical trends, religious thoughts and psychological leanings, Meneghetti experienced the failure of the possibility to know, which only those who are gifted with a certain aptitude and curiosity for research can feel as a burning, inconceivable contradiction. “I was interested in understanding and then curing the dystonic aspects of the individual. I was curing, but I could not understand why”.

It is then through 10 years of solitary training in various parts of the world that Meneghetti plays all his cards searching for that unity of action which implies a healthy individual, unity of action whose existence cannot be denied, as a consequence of the perennial ontological rationality principles. The 3 original discoveries laying the foundations of the ontopsychological school (the semantic field, the deflection monitor, the ontic In-itself) spring therefore out of real situations, not out of an academic’s mind. This is why they prove to be naturally evident to anybody disposing of a consciousness able to read reality in a reversible manner.

So, why Ontopsychology then? It is a condicio sine qua non for removing contradictions. Because “life doesn’t discuss. Life does: either you deliver or you are out”. Without unbending dogmas, but actually with openness to endless creative applications, gaining the best for yourself and the convenient for others.
