There are two simple general OIDA therapies:

(1) The therapy in speaking about God:

Due to atheistic propaganda, it has become increasingly rare to find people speaking about God. They usually feel foolish, superstitious, and antiscientific when speaking about God. Another reason they do not like to speak about God is because they are tired of hearing about God from people whose involvement with crimes against humanity is well know. What to speak of when the talk about God is permeated by fear-instilling fundamentalism. OIDA therapy cures this illness by being open towards all mystic traditions. OIDA therapy delivers freedom of thought and the right and need to reject what is not acceptable to common sense and our inner voice. OIDA therapy brings about awareness of how necessary it is to have faith if one wishes to reach the sane behavior area of the healing circle. OIDA therapy permits one to see the beauty of the influence of faith in real God Consciousness and the danger of its absence. OIDA therapy returns the awareness of the need to consider the importance of God Consciousness for practical and impartial understanding of almost any topic. OIDA therapy removes the possibility of tyranny in the realm of thought, faith, and free speech due to its understanding of the nature of thought, words, and convictions. As in religious circles, where the talk of God is very natural, OIDA therapy allows us to introduce God to all topics, but being free of the limiting dogmatism of certain religious groups and narrow minded prejudiced conceptions. OIDA therapy opens one’s awareness to the beauty of transcendental thought. OIDA therapy shows how easily divine conceptions and teachings have been misused by those who have no faith themselves but craftily use the faith of others to exploit them in different ways. Unless such topics are understood, the mind of the OIDA therapy patient will remain affected by fear of further deceptions. OIDA therapy conversations involving God can help greatly in this regard, taking into account the basic faith in the generating powers of Mother Nature as was present in the ancient cultures of mother earth. Today’s social anthropologists may discuss such historical elements of human faith under their atheistic prejudice, and thus miss the point of their own transcendental nature as living souls maintained by that very nature whose transcendental characteristic they ridicule or ignore. Unfortunately, often times they themselves are amongst the victims of substance abuse and depression. Thus, they can also greatly benefit by studying the nature of the healing circle under the influence of OIDA therapy God-centered conversations.

A second very interesting aspect of OIDA therapy, is the old transcendental tradition of having the freedom and need to ask questions of any nature by the help-seeking patient. OIDA therapy provides information about the tradition and the questions and answers present in different mystical faiths. This, however, cannot fully substitute the personal experience of sitting at the feet of a self-realized master and receiving his answers to our doubts. OIDA therapy God-centered conversations, however, can remove many fears and doubts about our own faith and need for further spiritual development. Thus, it can open the path towards finding personal spiritual guidance in the patient. This principle takes us to the second general OIDA therapy, the question and answer therapy.

(2) The OIDA Question and Answer Therapy:

OIDA therapy calls for open discussion and questioning. The entire world is made up of questions and answers. OIDA therapy allows us to present classical questions, and we can see what the different mystical traditions have given us as answers. OIDA therapy gives the patient the feeling that faith can only become strong when his basic doubts about God and human duties are diminishing. The nature of the soul and its responsibilities are central issues of such conversations. If people are afraid to ask questions and express their doubts, the natural joy of expanding consciousness cannot manifest. Thus, this OIDA “question and answer” therapy program may be either a personal therapy or group therapy that opens doors, allowing us to revise any misconceptions we may have about faith.

QUESTIONNAIRES

Note: This section is part of the article Practical Application of OIDA-Therapy.

Please answer the questionnaires in solitude, answer each question slowly, and while doing this, consult your inner voice.

Answering these questionnaires helps you to have a clear view of how wisdom or ignorance influences our life. It also shows to which directions are you led by a too big ego, or too little understanding - or by clear views and selflessness.

The process of answering these questionnaires gives you also some hints about where to go from here.

The questionnaires for self-research:

Developing Contact with Your Inner Guide

Write down what is important for you from your own mystical tradition, and compare it with the respective chart or graphic.

Write down where and why you lost faith in those items in your chart that did not come to mind. This will give rise to many questions within you.

There are several ways to deal with these questions:
Find a person in your mystical tradition who you have much faith in, and question him about the respective topics.
Write all the questions on a piece of a paper, and pray for inner guidance to be able to understand the course of your belief.
Read what type of philosophical or practical answers and guidance are given by other mystical traditions you feel inclination to find out about for the topics in question.
If you feel that what you find helps deepen your faith, or expands your faith in a more universal, all embracing way, continue your investigation and your prayer for inner guidance. In this connection we would like to recommend specific prayers.

Prayer:

Oh my Lord, the creator and maintainer of everyone, wherever you are, and whoever you are, I am your simple little son (or daughter).
I have decided that I want to conduct my life under your guidance in happiness. Please reveal in my heart, what you want me to know. Or bring me to such a personal place, where I can learn about it.
On my side, I promise you that I will try to do everything to feel or learn what I am supposed to do. I will also try to stop doing anything I am not supposed to do. From now on, I am yours.

Recite the prayer three times and meditate for five minutes on its meaning and implications for your life.

Read about those elements in your mystical tradition that inspire faith in you from your respective Holy Scriptures.
Repeat this process at least once a month to review either how your faith is growing, or how your need arises for finding new answers and light on your path.
