  • The Body in Wellbeing Spirituality
    JAY JOHNSTON The body in Wellbeing Spirituality Self, spirit beings and the politics of difference Introduction New religious movements of the nineteenth century—notably the Theo­ sophical Society and Spiritualism—endowed western culture with an ener­ getic concept of the self: that is, with a model of the body that proposed the individual to be constituted by a ‘spiritual’ or subtle substance. This model of the body—the subtle body—was not new to western esoteric traditions, however, its presentation at this time melded with subtle body schemes from Hindu traditions (primarily Yoga traditions) and provided the groundwork for the popularisation of a concept of the body and self as being comprised of an energetic anatomy. This model of the self has continued unabated into con­ temporary consumer culture and underpins the vast majority of mind–body concepts in Complementary and Alternative Medical (CAM) practices. This article is concerned with the subtle body models currently found in Wellbeing Spirituality healing modalities. In particular, it considers their ontological and metaphysical propositions with regard to an ethics of difference: both ener­ getic and cultural. Therefore, two distinct types of discourse will be examined and discussed: that of popular culture and that of Continental philosophy (especially feminist and post­structural). Both provide methods for under­ standing the enduring popularity of subtle body concepts of the self and the challenging ethical relations that the model presupposes. ‘Difference’ herein refers to the term’s use in the Continental philosophic­ al tradition, in particular following the thought of Emmanuel Levinas in the proposition of a radical difference, or alterity.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Unconventional Cancer Treatments
    Unconventional Cancer Treatments September 1990 OTA-H-405 NTIS order #PB91-104893 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Unconventional Cancer Treatments, OTA-H-405 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing OffIce, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword A diagnosis of cancer can transform abruptly the lives of patients and those around them, as individuals attempt to cope with the changed circumstances of their lives and the strong emotions evoked by the disease. While mainstream medicine can improve the prospects for long-term survival for about half of the approximately one million Americans diagnosed with cancer each year, the rest will die of their disease within a few years. There remains a degree of uncertainty and desperation associated with “facing the odds” in cancer treatment. To thousands of patients, mainstream medicine’s role in cancer treatment is not sufficient. Instead, they seek to supplement or supplant conventional cancer treatments with a variety of treatments that exist outside, at varying distances from, the bounds of mainstream medical research and practice. The range is broad—from supportive psychological approaches used as adjuncts to standard treatments, to a variety of practices that reject the norms of mainstream medical practice. To many patients, the attractiveness of such unconventional cancer treatments may stem in part from the acknowledged inadequacies of current medically-accepted treatments, and from the too frequent inattention of mainstream medical research and practice to the wider dimensions of a cancer patient’s concerns.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

We will be having a committee meeting soon, either a Zoom one or somewhere outside to discuss the way forward, especially with Autumn/Winter approaching. This edition’s articles are by Glan Jones, Hilary Boughton, and June Hancocks. A HOTEL IN CAREDIGION RESULTS This is the story of the Hotel as told to us by the Hotelier and local villager’s tales. The original building was a keeper’s cottage which belonged to the local large estate in the late 18th century. In the early 19th century it was converted into a Hunting Lodge by the estate owners and later in the century was enlarged into what we see today and developed into a hunting lodge come quest accommodation for the shooting parties. In the early 1900’s it was opened as a Hotel and has remained so until now. THE STORY My daughter met the Dog. Apparently this story goes back to the second half of the 19th century.

  • Reconceptualising Beliefs (Accepted Version).Pdf
    Accepted for publication in Theory & Psychology (https://journals.sagepub.com/home/tap) Realising the Potential of General Population Research to Reconceptualise the study of “Delusions”: From Normalising “Psychosis” to De-Familiarising “Normality” David J. Harper Mental Health & Social Change Research Group School of Psychology University of East London London E15 4LZ UK Abstract Over recent decades a research programme involving non-clinical samples has provided a justification for the use of normalising practices within Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Psychosis. These studies have found that, contrary to mainstream psychiatric assumptions, beliefs considered delusional are neither rare in the general population nor qualitatively different from “non-delusional” beliefs whilst theories from a “normal” rather than “abnormal” psychology have shown them to be intelligible rather than un-understandable. Yet the programme’s inherent limitations have meant that the potential of non-clinical research has not been fully realised. An alternative research programme is proposed which could elucidate the diversity of belief in the general population by examining the role of social norms and lived belief narratives in unconventional belief communities. This could address the limitations of the normalising programme, provide a necessary corrective to the “clinician’s illusion” bias and prompt a more fundamental reconceptualization of beliefs considered delusional.
