For most, the idea of letting oneself drift into the Esoteric unknown is a scary proposition. And why is this? Because fear of the unknown is perfectly natural, and it's built into our MINDs. But, it's also something that is very limiting to us, and we all need to rise above this fear.... if possible.... and it is possible for many, if they only had a source to indicate they had this option.
What am I talking about? Well, briefly, I'm talking about the fact that the Esoteric realms of Man, the two-thirds of who and what we are, are not taught in colleges and universities today. The reason is two-fold. First, very few individuals in he West know anything about these realms, and secondly, the reason for this is that these Esoteric realms are not taught in colleges or universities today, nor are they part of the curriculum of mental health and psychology. How come? Because, in the early 1900's, a group of behavioral scientists, led by B.F.Skinner, presented the idea of "behaviorism" to the fields of mental health and psychology. The primary appeal of behaviorism was that it said that MIND and consciousness [which I have replaced with the term Apapsyche] could not be effectively studied or taught, and therefore, there was no need for professionals to seek to discover anything within their own MINDs before being licensed to perform psychotherapy for others. The "appeal" was the mistaken belief that there was no need to poke around within one's own MIND... and it was appealing because everyone [non-consciously] fears what might be discovered hidden within his/her own MIND.
This denial of the Esoteric in Man was quickly embraced, and for over a century now the Esoteric has been considered unnecessary to study in understanding the human being. This mistaken belief, and a century of denial and avoidance of the Esoteric in Man has resulted in this two-thirds of Man being almost entirely forgotten. The problem now exists that what is causing increasing numbers of young people to commit suicide is an absence of professional help capable of addressing the conflicts within the MINDs of these young people. What are we to do is the question? Simply write off tens of thousands of our youth because they, being the most Spiritually evolved among us, have needs beyond the comfort level of today's professionals?
One simple solution would be to offer one pilot course entitled: Introduction to Esochology. Invite anyone from fields of mental health and psychology to monitor the class, and evaluate the results of the class at the end. The next step would be to offer this course to individuals who would like to learn how to help others.... naturally, and effectively. Just the media coverage alone would ignite a revolution of change that would be helpful beyond measure. What can I do? I'm doing it, but one person pushing a concept upstream is very slow going... and the bodies washing downstream are increasing.
Not everyone is "ready" to engage the Apapsyche, and that's fine. No one should be forced to do anything that they believe would harm them.... even if the harm is not real, but imagined. The imagined fear seems quite real to those within whose imagination it is operating, and this needs to be respected. But it makes little sense to deny the proper treatment to millions of children simply to accommodate the unrecognized delusional fears of some mental health professionals.
Now, for those who are "ready" to awaken to their Apapsyche, but their MINDs are preventing this, where can they go for help? There are precious few mental health workers capable of addressing the Esoteric realms within Man because the training to prepare these professionals simply does not now exist. That which is taught in schools, colleges, or universities where individuals in need of help might go... just is not available. If you, or someone you know could use help, please contact us via our open forum here , or esominder@yahoo.com, with the subject "IESOI". We will do our best to be of service.
It is very difficult, when, the head decision makers of every mental health program, facility, institution, agency, or the various state departments, psychologists trained only in behavioral psychology, and therefore, without knowledge of the Esoteric realms within Man, unknowingly resist all efforts to introduce any approach which would be perceived by their MINDs as a threat. Scotoma and the Defense Mechanism of their MINDs are automatically initiated and they will reject such programs for a multitude of reasons, none of which will be questioned.... who is to do so?
I know how difficult it is for most people to believe what I am saying. We all want to believe that the many millions of dollars being spent every year on mental health are being spent wisely. Those individuals who are trying their best, are unaware that a better approach is available. How would they know? From what source? The chance some governor is going to click onto this site and read what I've written.... and believe it applies to his/her state, is highly unlikely. And even then, he/she would have to override the resistance of his/her own professionals who are psychologically subject to their own MINDs... although they have no awareness of this.
For those well versed in the field of education, "EsoEducation" would probably indicate an oxymoron. Everyone knows that the "Esoteric" is inaccessible, right? That has been the belief for a long time, but that this was once thought to be true does not mean it cannot change. With the concepts of Esochology and EsoEducation some new fields of study are now available for study. Although not for everyone, there are many who are "ready" to embrace these new fields of study. Don't you believe this is so? I mean, does it really make good sense to allow tens of thousands of young people every year to be lost to society so that we avoid causing embarrassment to those who are incapable of providing the proper treatment?
