Introduction

Having come from a varied background of conventional studies, mainly University based, I have formulated an understanding of what works and what doesn’t. (At least for me). And one of the things that I see as not working, at least for the recipient, is psycho-analysis.

By psycho-analysis, I mean primarily the Freudian and Jungian approach, though there are some individual practitioners of this craft that have incorporated the ideals of this text into their practices.

Now how or why I came to this conclusion could in itself be a book, and though I might at some point in time attempt to author such a tome, I don’t see it serving the needs of the many right now.

For one either believes in psycho-analysis on some level and is vested in that modality of healing, or one doesn’t. Now, if you are vested in that modality of healing because you aren’t aware of any alternatives and something about it isn’t working for you, well then I would invite you to read the subject matter that this book will deliver. For I promise you an in- depth analysis of very unconventional, empowering modalities of healing that expose the flaws in the current methodology of psychiatric thought.

What do I mean by the ‘flaws in the current methodology of psychiatric thought’? Well, for some practitioners of the art, there is a distinct desire to heal their patients. And in accordance with the Hippocratic oath, ‘First do no harm’, then whatever inadvertent damage is being done is at least being done with good intent.

For other practitioners, the entire foray into the psychiatric profession was generated by power and control, which is an extremely unhealthy motivation for a practice. And for some, it is the addiction to the foundational space of therapy which is driving their motivation. This is where the former client or patient of psychotherapy becomes engaged in the practice themselves due to their addiction to the space of their own therapy.

There is of course, a sense of true altruistic desires to heal that motivates individuals in becoming clinical psychiatrists. Typically these are the individuals that see the shortcomings of traditional therapy and introduce additional modalities to their practice to benefit the patient.

Now, some of you are probably asking, ‘Where did I get the background to either comment on or disagree with conventional psychotherapy’?

That question is indeed a pertinent one, and I will assert that I have had several forays into the field of psychiatry. Both personally and in support of a relative who underwent some struggles in her early years. These years around the field of psychiatry gave me a fairly solid overview of the methodologies and conventions that were currently held at the time. (1980’s)

My initial exploration into the field of psychiatry lasted about 4 semesters while in my college years, and something about it didn’t resonate with me. Looking back, it was probably because of my exposure to Eastern Religions and philosophy in High School. (As a matter of fact, that was also what turned me off from a scholarly study of philosophy in my collegiate years).

Though it wasn’t a dislike of strenuous study that turned me off from this course of study, as I was an Aerospace engineer with a strong background in particle physics at that time. And I had a natural curiosity of all things scholastic. In fact, I was born with a gift of being able to see the truth in things, and if something didn’t resonate with me, then it wasn’t the truth. Now there may have been some aspect of the truth in it, for after all, even an outright lie is a negation of a truth. And though a true intuit would be able to discern the truth even in the face of an outright lie, in my early years, I hadn’t developed that quality quite yet. So, all I had to go on was a gut feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

For those of you who have read my book, Electricity and Resistance, I talk about the concept of the ego and its creation in its introduction and earlier in ‘Metamorphosis’; which is another of my books in the series ‘Zer0 to Mastery in 7 Volumes’. In particular I talk about the contributions that Freud and Aurobindo made to the learned communities of the 20th Century regarding the ego and its constructs. I also mention how Aurobindo’s commentary has been conveniently ignored in the West, as we went about our arrogant quest for more data and more knowledge, mostly coming from ego!

Recently, leading edge texts are starting to re-think some of the initial qualifications by the so-called modern psychotherapists of the twentieth century. A book by para-psychologist Dr. Dean Radin entitled ‘Entangled Minds’, and a book by Dr. Gary Schwartz entitled, ‘The Energy Healing Experiments’ have conventional psychiatric thinking, ‘Tilting at Windmills’. (to quote a euphemism from ‘Don Quixote’)

And further analysis of the psychiatry of dream therapy by Dr. Robert Van der Castle entitled ‘Our Dreaming Minds’ explores an entirely different modality regarding dream therapy and it’s implications for healing the discursive and neurotic mind of the modern human.

All of these paradigm shifting works are leading us back to the original Vedantic and Buddhist concepts of the self and our true nature. Which have been conveniently ignored by the western philosophical thinker, with the sole exception of Plato in his seminal work, ‘The Republic’. And even in that work, one has to cull the distinctions that Plato is extrapolating from Socrates dialogue in a rather non-linear fashion, as it is a bit obtuse and wordy.

The grist of this conversation is that we have become all to engrossed in the topic of the Ego in the West. How it formed, its various different aspects, how to manage it and so forth. All this with a complete disregard for the function of spirit in the equation. It is almost as if a group of scholars huddled in masse in the 20th Century and declared that we would be taking any possibility of God out of the conceptual thinking that permeated the day!

I can’t imagine anything more short sighted than that, except for the declaration that the world was flat by the geniuses of the 15th Century. To think that this was coming from a group of so-called scientists is even more frightening in light of the evidence to the contrary looming in every direction.

Fortunately, in the East, the philosophers and other deep thinkers were quietly ignoring most of the pundits in the West, and going about their philosophies that had several if not tens of thousands of years of historical ground. And in that space, real discoveries were being made.

These were real discoveries of mind, matter and the interactions between the two. Which lead humanity to all sorts of realizations, with associated technologies, by the many learned thinkers that dwelled in the Orient. The ones that I have the most familiarity with are Tibetan and Indian Buddhists, or Hindu, but I will endeavor in this book to broach all forms of analysis to create the sense of a ‘Meta understanding’ or a ‘Met-Analysis’ of the various different Eastern thought forms.

One lineage in particular was discussed in a recent book by a Tibetan Meditation Master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche entitled ‘The Joy of Living’ in which he correlated the principles of Neuroscience, Physics and Buddhist Philosophy. It was a ground breakingly simple book that is generating a great deal of interest, and will lend foundational awareness to the journey that we are about to undertake.

One thing I know for sure, that with some minor exceptions for individuals with severe damage to their Neo-cortex and Limbic regions of the brain, there is no such thing as psychosis. Now, there are differing levels of neurosis, some quite severe, but all treatable coming from the concept of duality.

For duality allows for all sorts of lower self neuroses, in fact, it is the foundation for the contemplative tradition.

So, after much wrangling, we get to the working title of this book. An in-depth study (or Meta-Analysis), of the contemplative traditions of curing the lower self’s neuroses by age old wisdom.

My intention, is to expound on thought forms and healing modalities that aren’t mainstream and may never be, but that do work and can provide some measure of relief for individuals suffering from various different afflictions. For unlike most authors, I prefer to write healing transmissions that are actually creating results, rather than just forecasting them.

When you combine this with some well placed reference materials in the Appendix section of the book (of different healing modalities plus a complete translation of the Yoga sutras of Patanjali); the reader will have several tools to use in overcoming your own personal neurosis and live an extraordinary life of commitment, love and oneness with your higher nature.

With this in mind, let’s get started, shall we?

CHAPTER ONE

Cleansing

A large number of people are suffering in this world for a variety of different reasons. And for the most part, these reasons are all self-inflicted. Lower Self inflicted that is.

Now, you might actually be struggling to digest this fact, but it is a fact!

In spite of the Western deconstructionist’s mechanical view of the universe, and all that inhabit it, we exist in duality. And this duality and the discursive actions that arise from our lower nature, are the cause of most, if not all, of the suffering that is created on the human plane.

So what are we going to do about it.?

Well first of all, we are going to give the power to heal back to the patient!!

That’s right, we are going to march right in the face of conventional wisdom and announce that modern psychiatry is broken, and that the analysis of the ego and its coping mechanisms is only creating more of what is being analyzed!

This might be
