About Therapies
Definition: In the term, "Changing a Player's condition," we refer to the removal of an unwanted condition or conditions from his mind such as fear, or worry, or pain, or painful feelings from some lost love, or unwanted physical or mental sickness condition, or unwanted drug dependency, or other unwanted conditions. Positive change of any of these conditions would be indicated by the increase of one's happiness level, which is the purpose of all therapies and all promises of future rewards, such as heaven or nirvana.
Therapies of all kinds, such as, Psychology, Scientology, Dianetics, loving Jesus, and all the rest cannot change a Player's condition. The Player creates his condition, his past does not create his condition no matter how bad it was, nor does therapy or any external influence. The player often continues to create his condition to satisfy rule #5 which states that all things must have a cause, but he is continuing to keep his condition in creation at all times.
Therapies are a part of the game, but the Player only changes when he decides to change and no sooner. Sometimes in therapy, the Player finds that he is ready to change and thus he changes. The thing that satisfies rule #5 is that he can say that the therapy changed him. Think for a minute. No matter what is happening nothing can put a single decision into your mind. No matter what is happening you are in control of your mind. Nothing around you can put a single decision into your mind. It does not matter what your father said, or what your school teacher said, or even who punched you in the nose. Only you can change your mind. The proof of the pudding is that there are those who were treated terribly and tortured badly and they simply came out of it without a scar.
Then others came out of the same traumas in terrible condition, insane or worse, and they said it was all caused by how they were treated. We can feel sorry for them and help them and all that, but the fact remains, they made all the decisions that made them insane or whatever it did to them. When a person gets well from being treated terribly or whatever, it is because he makes the decision to get well. The fact is, he won't make the decision to get well unless he wants to get well. Almost any therapist will tell you that the person must want to get better before he will do so. We are just pointing out that that is doubly true. When a person decides to get well, he can get well immediately, but he often takes some time.
When in therapy it is simpler to say that the therapy
caused him to get well, then he doesn't have to take any responsibility for it
at all. When a Player is ready to change, picking through his mind with one of
the various techniques may give him the excuse he needs to change, or getting
him to believe in Jesus (often very effective if he has been trying to teach
himself lessons for a long time), or some other philosophy or religion may do
it also. There is also the fact that if one is ready to change, he can just
change and he needs no therapy to do so. It often happens.
Over the centuries on Earth alone thousands of therapies have been invented. The majority of these therapies have successful cases. None have had what an outsider would call resounding success, even though they all claim such success. We have all agreed to rule #5 that all things must have a cause in the physical, but this does not always have to be the case. In our immediate area we often choose what we want to react to and we pass on other things. Our mind, however, is quite tricky. It contains much that we don't know about or that we don't remember, but still uses for its computations.
To have armatures poking around in your mind can be a negative thing for you. They can't hurt you unless you decide to be hurt, but you can wind up believing something that you know nothing about. You can only be hurt by being convinced that you are hurt.. Most of the philosophical therapies, such as Scientology, which are known as clearing therapies, and the various religions, lead one in the direction of becoming a slave. If one should get the idea that being a slave to one of those cultsor bein g a slave to God will be DRAMATIC he will probably join or be saved or born again. Don't buy any of that stuff until you really check with your eyes open.
Scientologists make slaves of their members. They are told how to think and act and live. They use mostly fear to control their members, but once you are in, you become a true believer, and you then have to bow down to their control. There is more later in the book about Scientology and other religions. The wisest course is to thoroughly check these things out before you become a believer.
