The Purpose of Spiritual Psychotherapy

If the next evolutionary step in psychotherapeutic practice was an automatic shoo-in, we would already be there We have been stuck for a couple of decades now and cannot move forward without a dynamic aggressive understanding of man’s spiritual nature.

The creative symbolic use of language is necessary to this next giant step for humanity. The archetypal and symbolic use of language is the forgotten language of the gods.

The perennial philosophy has now advanced to the point where we are ready as a society to transcend our parochialism and narrow sectarian reductionism, philosophizing and theologizing.

A new religion or a new science is not necessary in any kind of formal sense, just a new understanding of the underpinnings of spirituality.

Holistic psychotherapists and healers will have to take this step because no one else is yet equipped to translate the language of degenerative symptoms into the language of transformative symbols.

Medicine, psychology and psychiatry alone cannot take this giant step without metaphysical wisdom.

It is a sad fact that more and more practitioners have jumped ship for the medical model of sedating symptoms and behavioral management.

The next big step in our evolution will be led by daring spiritual pioneers who can demonstrate enlightenment awareness and techniques with the suffering patient.

Although self-analysis and self-treatment will be the order of the new era, the need for courageous leaders will only increase as the awareness of human potential deepens and widens.

Training in enlightenment techniques are expanding rapidly now as some of the specialization factors have reached their apex and common ground is being sought.

Meditation was a valuable beginning tool, but experiential awareness is greatly needed.

We have refined the needed steps for a spiritual psychotherapy practice at just the right time when there is such an emerging spiritual hunger evident everywhere.
