Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-21 00:00:00 Hugo Zapata Working within an esoteric Christian framework, Daskalos emphasized the importance of the state of consciousness of the healer. He believed that the healer may try to affect the condition of the client through conscious control of the healer�s own thoughts and feelings. He suggested that the energy of the healer can be intentionally directed, often through imagery, in such a way as to enhance the well-being of the healee on a variety of dimensions. He also stated that the healer should be motivated by love and by a desire to be of service. The healing is potentiated by spiritual forces beyond the ordinary ego functioning of the healer but teaches that such forces may be invoked and enhanced by the intention and directed consciousness of the healer. He also indicated that focusing on negative or limiting thoughts (either by the healer or the healee) limits and impairs the efficacy of healing but, Daskalos maintained that healing may be done in the presence of the healee or at a distance, and he also used physical touch as one means of healing. Conventional approaches, through the process of Catharsis, often prematurely bring to the surface some deeply hidden elementals with which a person may be unable to contend. Daskalos taught that the process of psychotherapy should instead include helping a person to develop more benign patterns of thought and feeling and to depotentiate destructive and negative patterns. This process may be aided, in Daskalos� view, through the creation of therapeutic elementals as well as by example and persuasion. What happens when negative energy and egotistic thoughts of the healer are intentionally directed on the healee? Did any of the Researchers of Truth Inner Circle members ever think about the harm they can manifest if their own thoughts are negative and they intentionally set out to control someone�s thoughts by persuasion? Ever consider how these negative elementals would affect someone�s life or future ? This would certainly be the opposite of positive healing when the healer himself has destructive or negative thought patterns. You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes a difference is the actions of the healer himself. Markides books will explain how to become a charlatan spiritual healer and your economic hardships will be a memory from the past. To achieve - step by step guide. 1. Find an attractive therapy - give it an incredible name. 2. Invent a fascinating history - Having identified your treatment and a fantastic name for it, you need a good story to explain how it all came about. An awe-inspiring inspiration in your dreams or perhaps create some religious connection. There are no limits to your imagination; just make sure the story is spellbinding. 3. Add a dash of pseudo-science Since you don�t want to be found out, select something that only few experts understand; Elementals, esoteric distant healing, attunement and at-one-ment, Exosomatosis (OBE) are all excellent options. 4. Do not forget a dose of ancient wisdom -With all these sciences don�t forget to remain firmly grounded in tradition. Your treatment ought to be based on ancient wisdom which you have re-discovered, modified and perfected. Wouldn�t hurt to mention some ancient culture that once was only obtainable to a selected few to lead people to the views on which your organization will proudly be set. Anything that is that old has stood the test of time which is to say, your treatment would then be considered equally as effective and safe. 5. Claim to have a panacea -to maximize your income, you want to have as many clienteles as possible. 6. Even exceptionally gifted charlatan are bound to attract doubters. Skeptics will sooner or later ask you for evidence. Solution is to provide testimonials. You need a website where satisfied customers report impressive stories how your treatment enriched their lives. In case you do not know such customers, invent them; in the realm of quackery, there is a time-honored tradition of writing your own testimonials. Nobody will be able to tell 7. Score points with Big Pharma - You must be aware who your future customers will be: they are affluent, had a decent education (evidently without much success), and are middle-aged, gullible and deeply alternative.8. Ask for lots of money. Your aim and objective in life is to get rich quick without consideration to the inherent tribulations your system created for others. If your treatment is a product that you can sell (e.g. via the internet, to escape the regulators,), if it is a hands-on therapy, charge heavy consultation fees and claim exclusivity; if it is a teachable technique, start training other therapists at high fees and ask a franchise-cut of their future earnings. Poor people - No, you don�t want them; you want the �rich and well� who can afford to see a real doctor when things should go wrong. But most importantly, high fees will do a lot of good to your bank account. - Then if you have any self-conscious morals in you; ask yourself some important questions. Example- What did I do that I should not have done? What did I not do that I should have done? Will your therapy create any type of considerable harm to another human being? What will you do to right those difficulties that your so-called ideal system created for other people? A youngster viewing a puppet show will sit happily entranced and seemingly captivated by the animated, talking marionettes, believing that they are very much alive and real. One day however, when the child has grown a little older and sees the strings attached to the puppets for the very first time, the illusion is forever shattered. From that moment onwards, the child will always know that hidden hands control these life-like figures. For the youngster, the extent of the puppet-theatre is a small box with curtains, where the strings rise up to the loving hands of parents and friendly neighbours. But for the adult, the "Virtual Puppet-theatre" is the controlled space between their ears. This is the space in which their whole belief-system can be manipulated, held entranced and fascinated by the puppet-masters, directing cleverly crafted dogmas, plays, dramas, and crises. Strong, invisible strings called �beliefs� rise up instead to dark, hidden hands, holding all global-wealth and power. As long as the illusion can be maintained, the audience can be held spellbound. For them, the �show,� is the total sum of their perceived reality. This life on earth is the only one you'll get and decisions made here, determines where you'll spend eternity - and it is in THIS, that the puppet-masters have a vested interest. Why waste it; allowing your potential, your personality, your values to be shaped, crafted, and limited according to the priorities of false prophets.
