“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because in fear there is torment. He who fears is not perfect in love" - ​​1 John 4:18. There are different interpretations and translations of this verse, but the meaning is always the same. Some interpretations say that fear is a punishment, therefore it is he who is driven out by love. Fear is a punishment of oneself; if a person tortures himself, he is not fully imbued with love. He who lives in fear, who suffers in fear, has not known mature love. It is these lines and their interpretations that can be found in the verse from 1 John 4:18 in the Bible. Is this connected only with religion or the phenomena of fear and love, has the connection between them been studied in psychology? The Bible is one of the most ancient books known to mankind at the moment; it reflects the collective spiritual values ​​of a large number of people who have passed alongside man through the centuries. When studying a person, his psychology, culture, values, needs and desires, it is impossible to ignore such valuable material and not find in it facts confirmed in many psychological theories, centuries later. Many psychologists actually turned to its study even after psychology became a separate science. The American psychologist W. James, on whose ideas many modern psychological theories of social psychology, humanistic and existential and other directions are built, in 1902 published the work “The Variety of Religious Experience”, in which he says that there is a religion of mental health and a religion of the suffering soul . For James, the value of religion lay in its ability to help people gain a positive and confident outlook on life. According to the scientist, religion helps a person establish correct ideas about himself and others, conditions so that people do not become victims of the imperfections of life and society. Many humanistic and existential psychologists, neo-Freudians, and other scientists resorted to studying the scriptures; K.G. makes many references to the scriptures. Jung in his analytical works on the study of personality. You can penetrate into the depths of the human psyche using symbols, through the symbolic level; the older the symbols, the more they are reflected in their meanings of the unconscious psyche. In his book “The Art of Loving,” the German psychoanalyst and sociologist E. Fromm talks about the concepts of conditional and unconditional love; while working on these studies, he studied materials from Eastern and Western religions. He describes conditional love as love when one loves for something, that is, actions, actions, significance, and one can also add appearance, manners, and the way one presents oneself. Unconditional love is like the love of a mother for her child, it does not require any proof, is born on a pre-conscious spiritual level, exists on its own and without any evidence that could influence it. There is no doubt about this love, it is a spiritual, transcendental component of the human psyche, living in him, if he does not block it and connects to it. In his theory of psychoanalysis, at the beginning of its appearance, S. Freud did not pay much attention to love, he considered it a by-product a product of attraction, a stable fixation of libido on an object. In psychoanalysis, desire and fear always go side by side, overcoming fear, we get closer to our desires. This position also has consonance with the main statement that there is no fear in love. Later, in his works such as “Totem and Taboo”, “Psychoanalysis of the Masses and Analysis of the Self” (which was inspired by the work of G. Le Bon “Psychology of the Masses” and the emerging social psychology), ideas are already found that Love is the only way to own individuality, love is a way to get out of the psychology of the masses, to disconnect from it, gaining the stability of the Ego. One of the founders of existential psychology, R. May, in his book “Love and Will,” reveals the spiritual and psychological components of these phenomena. He says that the love that was in times past +7 903 138 02 41
