The Devil's Therapy


Book Description

What does the devil have to do with hypnosis? The Devil's Therapy uses a Grimm's Fairy Tale to illustrate a complete system for facilitating effective Regression to Cause Hypnotherapy. The main character is a soldier who has left the battlefield. He is struggling with how to meet important needs. When conventional solutions fail to give him back control of his life, he wanders into unfamiliar territory where he meets a little man. This little man just happens to be the devil. The devil promises to help the soldier resolve his problem for good. But to achieve a lasting result, the soldier must agree to The Contract. (The devil always requires a Contract.) The soldier must agree to follow instructions and do the work necessary to achieve the desired result. If he doesn't, he will continue to suffer. Worse, he could even lose his life! What's this got to do with hypnosis? Every client who comes to you has a problem he can't fix. But hypnosis is "unfamiliar territory" for most people. As a result, they don't seek out the help of a hypnotherapist until they have tried everything else. By the time they find you, they're desperate because nothing else has worked. They don't teach you this in hypnosis school but, when it comes to working with real client, there's always going to be uncertainty. That's because no two clients are ever alike.

Forgiving the Devil


Book Description




The Second Coming


Book Description

The Second Coming takes a fresh look at the Gospel of Matthew through the unconditioned eyes of a truth-seeker. The book reinterprets the Gospel of Matthew from a non-dualistic perspective and brings out spiritual insights totally unexpected. The book also brings to the forefront the forgotten character of Joseph as the 'tekton' of the Gospel. The distinctive feature of the book is that it redefines abstruse or undefined biblical terms such as, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, God, heaven, hell, Serpent, Satan, sin, etc., in a new light that makes the interpretation internally consistent, and also consistent with the external reality. According to the book, the message of the Gospel is straightforward: The human body is the Savior. Therefore, turn to the body. The book goes beneath the literal content of the Gospel of Matthew to discover its soul.




American Exorcism


Book Description

A guided tour through the burgeoning business of exorcism and the darker side of American life. There is no other religious ritual more fascinating, or more disturbing, than exorcism. This is particularly true in America today, where the ancient rite has a surprisingly strong hold on our imagination, and on our popular entertainment industry. We’ve all heard of exorcism, seen the movies and read the books, but few of us have ever experienced it firsthand. Conducted by exorcists officially appointed by Catholic archdioceses and by maverick priests sidestepping Church sanctions, by evangelical ministers and Episcopal charismatics, exorcism is alive and well in the new millennium. Oprah, Diane Sawyer, and Barbara Walters have featured exorcists on their shows. The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Time, and other publications have charted the proliferation of exorcisms across the United States. Last year, the Archdiocese of Chicago appointed its first full-time exorcist in its 160-year history; in New York, four priests have officially investigated about forty cases of suspected possession every year since 1995. American Exorcism is an inside look at this burgeoning phenomenon, written with objectivity, insight, and just the right touch of irony. Michael W. Cuneo attended more than fifty exorcisms and interviewed many of the participants–both the exorcists who performed the rituals and the people from all walks of life who believed they were possessed by the devil. He brings vividly to life the ceremonies themselves, conjuring up memories of Linda Blair’s astonishing performance in the 1973 movie The Exorcist and other bizarre (and sometimes stomach-churning) images. Cuneo dissects, as well, the arguments of such well-known exorcism advocates as Malachi Martin, author of the controversial Hostage to the Devil, self-help guru M. Scott Peck, and self-professed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren of Amityville Horror fame. As he explores this netherworld of American life, Cuneo reflects on the meaning of exorcism in the twenty-first century and on the relationship between religious ritual and popular culture. Touching on such provocative topics as the “satanic panics” of the 1980s, repressed memory, and ritual abuse, American Exorcism is a remarkably revealing, consistently entertaining work of cultural commentary.
