The evolution of consciousness
Mystical traditions are promoters of an evolutionary consciousness. They are not just meant for speculation; they are actually presenting observable phenomena demonstrating life from youth to old age, family responsibility, etc. They create very healthy life principles for the individual.
These types of mystical traditions are compared in OIDA Therapy in order to extract the patterns which reappear as beneficial guidelines. In this way, we are trying to create the anti-thesis to the natural psychologists who do not accept any existence of the soul and a higher meaning of life. The conclusion is that mystical traditions have all guided their faithful in a very similar, often equal manner to produce a healthy human being with a healthy participation in life and a healthy destination, when their life is finished.
This anti-thesis which is produced by OIDA therapy is simultaneously evaluated by the psychological well being of the true practitioners. In other words, it is not only an accumulation of data but it is the research and study of living mystical traditions. The information that we can presently obtain regarding non-living mystical traditions can only give us a hint about how other people may have perceived their mystical traditions in the past. But it is only in the living mystical traditions that can we actually proceed scientifically and observe the impact of mystical teachings on an individual’s psychological well being.
