Psychology of Vision

"Psychology of Vision" is a psychological technique that was developed by Chuck Spezzano and his wife Lency. Do you understand by their practice a healing model that combines modern psychological expertise with spiritual principles. The people see it as a spiritual being: quote from their website:
"We are on an evolutionary path to realize that we are spiritual beings on the way to all-embracing unity. To receive grace and miracle is the easiest way to get closer to this goal. "
This shows already what is meant by saying that psychology is to be connected with "spiritual principles". As in similar practices also are here certain "life issues" be transformed. The aim is to improve the quality of life, the relationships and the health of the participants. These specific methods are used. This includes Tarot (of C. Spezzano there is the deck of cards "Card love") and members of the family constellation. In the latter alternates shall be selected for family members of a group. These are now the actual family members and represent their place (representative) to help you solve existing problems and blockages. The big problem is that family formation, does not solve problems but visualize only instantaneous structures. Troubleshooting on deputies are absurd because the person who is represented by the deputy can not work on themselves. It may therefore come as no real correct the problem. The effects are one-sided and subjective. Since this type of psychotherapy can also erupt subconscious feelings lie with the events of "Psychology of Vision" is always tons of Kleenex tissues from.
How many times at seminars of this nature, you will feel during and shortly after the event usually very good. The sense of community, the special attention by the coach and the pleasant outer frame contribute. This exhilaration is not of long duration. Each seminar is also come to an end and the normal everyday life returns to one. Many people develop an addiction downright thereafter, repeatedly visit such seminars. As with a drug they experience the kick that as a result they want over and over again to experience. Life problems are not resolved, especially not when clearly esoteric methods such as "Psychology of Vision".
The idea that we are all spiritual beings and are on the way to the all-embracing unity, originates from Hinduism. There, too, it is important that the Atman is to merge into the Brahman. Atman is the individual soul, which is to go up in the world soul Brahman. Hence, we are at an impersonal God to an impersonal "force". In "Psychology of Vision" of Hindu thought is only continued in a somewhat more modern variant.
Quite frankly is also given on the website, that Psychology of Vision is "on in Miracles Course oriented". This occult book has reportedly been entered by Jesus Christ in my inner voice of author Helen Schucman. The book is incompatible with the Bible. It combines in an esoteric way Gnostic fundamental doctrines with biblical notions and interprets the Bible by esoteric order.
Built is "Psychology of Vision" in various forms seminar. A special marketing idea is the 100-day training program. These can be collected daily by attending seminars. For example, a three-day seminar (cost: 330, - Euro) are visiting credited three days to the 100-day workout. Anyone who has finally managed 100 seminar days, reaches a particular threshold at which the depth and resonance of the changes in a self dramatically increase (quote from the website: "There is a definite benchmark - a paradigm shift - that OCCURS at 100 workshop days" ).
Every 100 days-graduate must successfully complete at least one "Step to Leadership" program. In countries where there is not this special program, such as in Malaysia, participants who still want to complete the 100-day training must read as a substitute a lot of books by Chuck Spezzano and write a report about it:
"In countries where There Is No STL, eg Malaysia, students may apply for exceptions in order to be able to graduate from the 100-day program. They then Might Be Asked to read a couple of Chuck's books and write a report on them to Ensure They are familiar with the psychological and spiritual dynamics and principles. "
A special marketing gimmick, the "Psychology of Vision" from the creators have come up, as they developed the "App of knowledge" for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The app is based on the "Enlightenment Pack" ("Enlightenment Pack"). Enlightenment in my iPhone - it you have to come first.
"Psychology of Vision" takes its place in a series of psycho-techniques, before whom all must be warned. The esoteric and occult character is abundantly clear on closer inspection. The true God is here, of course, not before. Redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ is to find a single word in practices of this kind. In this case, real cure nobody else give as the Creator of all things. The only question is whom do we trust God or esoteric quacks? The choice should not be difficult.

Other methods include:
