Hi,
I thought I would share a few discoveries I have made since undertaking the Therapist's Course on 2006 in Australia.
In my view there are a number of discoveries that a therapist must be aware of. They are not directly elated to the ISPS's work, though they integrate well with it.
The first is the book "The Divided Mind" by John Sarno:
https://www.amazon.com/Divided-Mind-Epidemic-Mindbody-Disorders/dp/0061174300/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1533987324&sr=8-3&keywords=john+sarno
He talks about treating depression, anxiety, ocd, chronic pain, etc. using psychological techniques. Essentially, he argues that these problems are emotional in origin. They are an unconscious emotional reaction to life pressures. The central insight is that the unconscious experiences rage that we are completely unaware of. The symptoms - depression, chronic pain, etc. are a defence mechanism.
There is a fascinating historical discussion about hysteria in Freud's time, and how these symptoms seem to follow public opinion closely. Hysteria is almost non- existent now, because the power of suggestion is absent.
In general, people are extremely reluctant to admit that their problems are psychogenic (psychological in origin).
The second psychological technique is called "Intensive Short term Dynamic Psychotherapy." Very simple, and very effective. You can do it on your own.
https://www.amazon.com/Lives-Transformed-Revolutionary-Dynamic-Psychotherapy/dp/1855755114/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1533987790&sr=1-2
For example, someone diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality disorder was apparently cured by this technique, and was able to learn empathy.
The third is the "Sinclair Method," a protocol for using naltrexone for treating alcoholism. Also quite simple.

Another piece of news is the use of a kind of "family therapy" in Finland for Schizophrenic patients, that is apparently quite successful. I don't know much about it, though.
In reality, many problems have biological and psychological connections. It is important to address both. Heart disease, for instance, apparently has a strong component of repressed anger. What is interesting is that people with psychosomatic and psycho-affective (e.g. chronic pain, or depression) are usually less likely to get heart disease.

I read on one of the peak State books, think about the option, and if there is an inner brightening of some sort, then it is the ideal pathway. Not sure how this might be affected by psychological factors, but that was the method.

I suspect there are elements of skill as well as the peak ability itself. The reason why I brought it up is that it might have uses in research. For example, if the Gaia communication state can be enhanced to another level, even if just briefly, it might greatly accelerate research. It is probably similar to the creative…

Another point. You can have a spiritual experience of some kind with out- of- body travel. For instance, you can travel to the Creator level and communicate with the Creator that way. In other words, you are really going "out there." It feels like you are going ""up." I travel out- of- body into the world, then "up" to the…

I would interpret these official statements with a lot of skepticism. There is a ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN going on in the world at the moment. I am not taking the vaccine and I advise anyone else not take it either. This is not medical advice, but WESTERN GOVERNMENTS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CORRUPT. I have noticed…

Forgot which book it is in, but if you think of the option and there is some kind of internal brightening, then this is the choice n your life path.

That is a different phenomena. There is a peak ability for communicating with the "soul" long after death. This can communicate with the "soul" well after this "short time" after death the book is referring to, which I suspect is a transition period of some kind. I am not sure how communication is achieved for this "short…

There is a speaking to the dead peak ability. Additionally, they have to want to speak to you. It is on their terms. So that might explain some of the delays.

It looks like that. I think it is simply grandiosity. These are very narcissistic people he is talking about. They have also been essentially beyond the law for many generations now. Psychopaths cannot function in a group.
-
Thanks for the replies. It was a peak experience. But I still think that doesn't explain all of it. It was VERY dramatic, lucid and informative. I have had other peak experiences that seem to have some kind of added component. There is room for a bit of both, I think. In other words, a peak experience and a kind of "deep…

I have heard that babies can regenerate the tips of their fingers for the first few months in life or so.

I certainly agree with "uncaring" being the bigger issue. It suggests a more profoundly disturbed person. People with NPD seem to live on the verge of hallucination. I suppose its what to do until the really effective methods are uncovered.

I saw a documentary about the side effects of anti- depressants. One guy became very distressed and said that he was outside his head looking back. It sounded like what you said about COA being outside the body. It was an effect of anti- depressants. Some people react severely to anti- depressants.

Its just that there are photographs of orbs and ghosts. I met someone who used to go into graveyards and take photographs of the interior of crypts. He showed me photographs of orbs in the crypt. I have seen what seemed to be a ghost, on 2 occasions. They looked like something out of a movie. In both instances they ignored…

Then how do you meet other people? And see things in the objective world?

Hi, I suspect Karma has a number of elements. First, there is the precognitive element where people get a clear sense that something is going to happen, and it does. In other words, in a very limited way people sometimes get glimpses of the future. Ancient societies used to carry out divinatory activities to get a sense of…

Hi, I don't think this is the same you have described at all, but it fits under the heading "astral entities." You can visit intelligent beings when using the OBE ability, When travelling OBE, there appear to be layers to the universe "above" the world we live in. One is the Akashic records, one is the creator level, and…

It really clears the mind of "chatter" like nothing else. Its just thought, and your normal emotions. There is a feeling of serenity, but it is quite subtle. It is like everything will be alright. Body - world is like, my body- everything. My body- and my world. Like everything in my life, as it links to the body. The body…
