‘Introduction to Psychotherapy: The Life Authoring Method’ is a presentation of the author’s upcoming work as a psychotherapist, his ‘Rogerian’ orientation with the person-centered approach in counseling, and finally his method: Author Your Life or Life Authoring, which is based on the creative literary and artistic work of the client.

Life Authoring basically consists of three overall activities: the creative writing of one’s life story (in 5 minutes), the writing of symbol and action stories, the reprogramming of the client’s inner scripts through affermative prayer, and finally spontaneous artwork for the client to express his or her Inner Child.

‘Religion without Ritual: The Autonomous Path to Spiritual Growth and Realization’ is a short article on the importance of autonomy in the process of true ‘religio,’ the inner quest for truth that is independent of any organized form of religion.

The short essays inquires into the subject by finding pairs of opposites in order to situate this quest outside of the conventional religious orders, sects, churches and organizations:

—Religion as Ritual

—Religion as Authority

—Religion as Autonomy

—Religion as Personal Growth

In truth, the inner quest for ‘religio’ and thus for connectedness with the inner guide or higher self, is based on autonomy rather than authority and it serves personal growth instead of providing the world with empty rituals.

‘Author Your Life’ as part of the Series ‘The Journey to Self’ presents a self-coaching technique that uses a combination of story writing, affirmative declarations and voice dialogue for healing the scars of trauma and abuse, raising emotional self-awareness, building vision and boosting creativity and spontaneity through inner child recovery, healing and art work.

Authoring Your Life does not make you to become a fiction author. No writing skill is needed, and writing style is not to be epic but flow-style, practicing a deliberate let-go attitude. Our consciousness is self-healing, self-cleaning and self-renewing; when authoring your life, you effect a total transformation of the personality into something more coherent and more in alignment with your soul values. The result of such an integrative work will produce positive results on all planes, the professional, the financial, the intimate and the spiritual planes all at once.

‘Accept Your Ego, Build Your Self’ within the Series ‘The Journey to Self’ is an extensive personal guide manual helping to become aware of your unique soul values. The guide not only explains what soul power is, how it can be developed and strengthened, but also what stands in the way to developing it.

Building soul power requires to discover one’s self, to build a genuine identity. The guide shows that building a genuine soul identity is done through discovering our innocence, realizing our primary power, developing our soul reality, accepting our marginality instead of striving for conformity, recovering and healing our inner child, discovering and integrating our shadow, and our projections, and learning to see that a holographic image of the whole of mythology and human evolution is contained in our soul.

‘The Vibrant Nature of the Psyche’ is a selfhelp essay that is based on cutting-edge scientific discoveries such as the nature of human creativity, which manifests not only as artistic creativity but also as scientific, conceptual or business creativity, and technical creativity.

The essay shows that there is something like a Creative Continuum in our lives that not only artists can use and that is fueled by spontaneity, and the fact of leading a first-hand life, which is a life in which imitation has been replaced by original creation and focus on goals by focus on the way, the path, the transitory condition to reach those goals.

‘The Vibrant Nature of Pleasure, Emotions, and Sexuality’ is a selfhelp essay that is based on cutting-edge scientific discoveries such as the mutually exclusive relationship between pleasure and violence, pleasure areas in the brain, pleasure and transcendence, and the role of endorphins, the ‘molecules of emotion.’

The essay shows that throughout patriarchy, the positive and benign nature of the human pleasure function has not been understood if sexual pleasure, or certain forms of it, was not at times demonized and forbidden by religious and worldly authorities.

Violence research has clearly demonstrated that for creating a future nonviolent society, we need to consider pleasure as sacred rather than merely biological; through responsible social policy-making we then need to endorse and reward pleasure-seeking behaviors as they go along with the neuro-integrative brain which is a brain wired for nonviolence and global peace, while in the past, the neuro-dissociative brain was the dominant brain with most humans, which is why they were hard-wired for violence, warfare and other overall violent behaviors.

‘The Vibrant Nature of Life Cycles’ is a selfhelp essay that is based on cutting-edge scientific discoveries such as the situation we experience after so-called ‘death’ when, in our astral body, we are becoming familiar within an ethereal dimension in which thoughts are triggering immediate action.

The essay shows that the widespread fear of death is not justified by fact and that we can remember our last Life-Between-Lives (LBL) through LBL hypnotic regression, thereby becoming acutely aware that life never ends and that we go from life cycle to life cycle in a never-ending pursuit of perfection and spiritual learning.
