Experiences of Individuals Who Have Been Guided by Diviners EXPERIENCES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN GUIDED BY DIVINERS by NICOLE SCHLUEP submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF F J A SNYDERS MARCH 2009 Student Number: 420 23394 I declare that EXPERIENCES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN GUIDED BY DIVINERS is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. _______________________ ____________________ SIGNATURE DATE (Ms) N. Schluep SUMMARY In this qualitative study the researcher explores the experiences and locus of control orientation of five individuals who have been guided by diviners. It also determines whether any traits or demographic variables characterise individuals consulting with diviners. This study is underpinned by three assumptions, namely, that multiple accounts of reality exist (postmodern philosophy), that knowledge cannot be void of subjectivity (constructivist epistemology) and that ‘meaning’ is influenced by dominant discourses (social constructionist paradigm). Individuals’ experiences with diviners are documented using thematic network analysis. Comparative analysis of the participants’ global themes revealed that ‘control’ and ‘self insight’ and ’self expression’ were common themes. Levenson’s Locus of Control Questionnaire was applied and established that an internal locus of control orientation predominated amongst participants. This finding contradicted existing literature. Professionals in the field of humanities and lay persons interested in divination would appreciate this study. Focal areas for future research and clinical practice are highlighted. Key Terms: Divination; diviners; supernatural; paranormal; superstitiousness; postmodernism; social constructionism; constructivism; qualitative research; hermeneutics; thematic network analysis; locus of control ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My grateful thanks to: Professor Ricky Snyders, my supervisor: Thank you for your dedication and efficiency as a supervisor. It was your encouragement, sense of humour and patience that helped me complete a study which far exceeded my greatest expectations! To my mother and father: Thank you for the privilege of many years of study and walking beside me in my endeavours as ‘an eternal student’. Mom, our relationship has now become a great source of wisdom in my life. Please know that I appreciate what you do for me, and most importantly, thank you for being ‘you’. Dad, you have taught me to believe in myself, pursue that which makes me happy and have always been a source of guidance and encouragement, thank you. To my brother: ‘Son’, I am proud to be your sister. Thank you for supporting me during difficult times over the past two years and always being a brother I could rely on. I am inspired by your ‘life knowledge’ and maturity beyond years! To my dearest friends: How many times have you heard me say “Sorry I can’t, I’m working on my thesis”. Thank you for your unwavering support and being the pillars of strength I needed! Despite my lack of attentiveness to our friendships at times, you were ‘never above, never below me, but always beside me’. To my lecturers Stan, Johan, Lesiba and Elmarie: Each of you have contributed meaningfully to my life and training as a clinical psychologist. Stan, in many ways you are the inspiration behind the topic for my thesis because you encouraged me to be ‘me’. Johan, thank you for the many ‘wow’ experiences, for reminding me to listen to my body and for replenishing my energies when they were depleted. Lesiba, I learnt a lot from your provocative interpersonal style and your enthusiasm and commitment for the African epistemology - thank you for the many ‘reframes’. Elmarie, I want to thank you for your accommodating and caring nature. You were the ‘voice of reason’, looked after my best interests and gently nudged me in ‘the right direction’. To God, my spirit guides and those who have crossed over: I have you to thank for giving me the faith needed to complete this research. Thank you for your silent presence, for watching over me and providing me with the ‘soul food’ I needed to remain strong, focussed and in harmony with all that surrounds me. To significant others and my family in Switzerland: You nurtured the ‘flame’ needed to complete this research. Thank you for your willingness to ‘dialogue’ with me about my research, for patiently listening to my frustrations and for encouraging me to persevere.

  • Children of the New Age’ – Is Qualitatively Rich but Quantitatively Limited
    9 THE END OF ‘NEW AGE’ The church dissatisfies me. I know all the things they teach. I want more, you know? (Alison, Unit of Service, 1997) We are trained to listen to experts in our culture and not to ourselves. The premise of the New Age is the other way around. (Spangler 1996: 184) The whole point is our journey,not our destination. (Edwards 1993: 63) Recapitulation In this book I have reconstructed the genealogy of a multivalent emblem,‘New Age’,within interconnected networks of ‘alternative’spirituality from the 1930s to the 1990s. In the first part, called ‘Emblem’, I examined Peter Caddy’s career in the Rosicrucian Order, the activities of Sheena Govan’s group and the early years of the Findhorn settlement. I found evidence of other networks active in England, New Zealand and the US in the late 1950s and early 1960s – George Trevelyan, the Heralds of the New Age, the North American ‘subculture’ delineated by David Spangler – for whom ‘New Age’ was an apocalyptic emblem within a cocktail of occult, psychic and spiritualistic ideas and practices. In this early period the expression had objective historical status among communicants: a ‘New Age’ was imminent, its apocalyptic harbingers were on the horizon and groups had to prepare themselves spiritually in response. In the second part, ‘Idiom’, I traced the diffusion and disintegration of this emblem in the 1970s and beyond under the influence of a youthful counter culture and a concomitant decline in the authority of grand narratives (Lyotard 1979) in the culture at large. ‘New Age’ became, as it were, adjectival, a loose ‘quality’ of a person, act or social process rather than a negotiated emblem.As a 195 IDIOM sign of this shift it became self-consciously problematised by both participants and observers – one informant in Lowe and Shaw (1993: 227) said vehemently ‘I hate that cliche “New Age” ’.

  • William Newton Thetford, Ph.D. – Life Story
    William Newton Thetford, Ph.D. – Life Story William Newton Thetford, Ph.D. 1923 –1988 Published by: Foundation for Inner Peace William Newton Thetford, Ph.D. Life Story Based on interviews in 1982 with his friend, psychologist and author, Frances Vaughan, Ph.D. PART I I was raised as a Christian Scientist. But after my sister, who was two years older than I, died when I was seven, religion lost all credibility for my parents. Right after that, I got rheumatic fever and nearly died, too. One day I overheard a conversation my moth- er and my doctor had on an extension telephone, which was near my bedroom. She didn’t know I could hear the exchange. Essentially, the doctor said I had a fifty-fifty chance of surviving, and that if I did I would probably be an invalid. I was still seven and very sick, and confined to bed. After this, I made a decision that I was not going to be an invalid and that I was not going to die. It’s very hard to Bill and his mother, 1923 describe or explain what I was doing, but I chose not to pay any attention to what the doctor said. At some level I seemed to be aware that it was up to me. In retrospect, I could say that I made a specific choice to live. After that, I was out of school for three years and stayed home, while my mother tutored me. My joints were lightly twist- ed by the rheumatic fever and I had a postural problem.

  • A Course in Miracles Profile
    A Course In Miracles By Rick Branch Founders: Helen Schucman and William Thetford Founding Date: 1965 Official Publication: While there are no official publications, The Holy Encounter is one of the major publications promoting the philosophy of A Course In Miracles. Organization Structure: There are hundreds of small study groups scattered across the country, each organized on an informal basis, for the express purpose of studying the Course. Unique Terms: While the Course has no truly unique terms, it defines common Christian terms in a unique way. Be aware of this fact when speaking to or listening to those who are followers of the Course. HISTORY In October 1965, Helen Schucman, an associate professor of medical psychology at Columbia University in New York, began receiving channeled messages from a speaker who would later identify himself as Jesus Christ.1 For the next ten years the voice is said to have dictated “in an inaudible voice” the three volume, 1,188 page, 500,000 word book known as A Course In Miracles.2 One of Schucman’s colleagues was Dr. William Thetford, a clinical psychologist at Columbia University. While he never heard the voice, he was instrumental in the publication of the Course. Raised in the Christian Science church, Thetford believed the Course was a representation of the “original teachings of Jesus.”3 In 1972, Schucman and Thetford met Dr. Kenneth Wapnick of the Foundation for Inner Peace. The Copyright for the Course was turned over to Wapnick and his organization in 1975. This action is followed in September of the same year with the publication of the first edition of A Course In Miracles.4 Schucman died in February 1981 and Thetford in 1988.

  • The Phoenix Formula to Help Others Maximize Their Own Potential, and Live the Life They Were Meant to Live
    O O O O A 9-Module Self-Guided Study Course on Hacking your Subconscious Mind to Live Another Life By CAELAN HUNTRESS WWW.PHOENIX-FORMULA.COM Module 0 How I Discovered this Formula When I was a teenager, I changed my identity and disappeared. I have not seen my biological relatives for more than half of my life. I’ve kept this secret for years - mostly out of habit. As this course will make clear, changing habits - it’s the key to changing your life. It doesnʼt mean itʼs easy. I left my home, my family, my friends, and everything I knew, because I was trapped in toxic habits. All of my thoughts were negative. The best way for me to stop living a life I didn’t want, was to create a better life, and go live it. That’s what I did. Nowadays, my name is Caelan Huntress. I went from living on the streets to running a successful web design business in tropical paradise. I remember the mindset I had when everything was going wrong in my life. It was almost...seductive, the way I would allow my emotions to plunge into despair. So many things had gone wrong in my life, I carried the burden and the pain of having an abusive childhood as the major component of my identity. PAGE 1 OF 8 WWW.PHOENIX-FORMULA.COM So I left it behind. My identity, the burden of being wronged, everything. The funny thing about a habit, though, is that it sticks with you. My negative mindset didn’t stay where I left the rest of my life.
