PSYCHOANALYSIS-PSYCHOTHERAPY

 

DD 0l PSYCHO-THERAPY (EP 160)

The esoteric Christian concept and practice of psycho­therapy encompasses a complete range of healing. Not limited to treating problems within the personality, a true psycho­therapist is concerned with the noetical, psychical and physical well-being of human beings. An aspiring psycho­therapist must train himself in many fields: self-conscious use of etheric vitality (as the four states of ether), the ability to visualize, comprehensive use of human anatomy including the etheric doubles, understanding the subconsci­ousness₁ and awareness of Divine Laws. A psycho-therapist is first and foremost a humble Researcher of Truth whose effec­tiveness in the healing process (not considering himself a "healer", but rather a worthy conduit for the Holy Spirit) depends on the purity of his heart and consciousness. Moti­vated by compassion, understanding and, above all, love, he values a friend in need as a Spirit-Soul-Ego, in the Common Selfhood, with time-place-space difficulties to be resolved and evolved from.

      EP       12     Those interested in the bodily and psychical health of

                          others will easily see that certain exercises will help them

                          in their work. But as Researchers of the Truth we contend

                          that psycho-therapists need to develop all their faculties

                          evenly. Therefore, we encourage them to work in all the

                          fields - theoretical and experimental - to become ever more

                          effective in their professions. Psycho-therapists seek resolution­

                         and growth, and is this not the work we are all en­gaged

                         in?

 

ET 150        A common misperception prevails these days in popular psychology. Many psychotherapists believe that in order for a patient to recover he must relive certain emotions and events, venting memories and frustrations that have been plaguing the personality. In this process of "letting the steam out" more often than not the elementals surrounding a memory, rather then being weakened, are revitalized by the attention with which they are served. This method is counter­productive - except in a few cases - to the client's re­covery as it lends only more energy to the problems.
