Spiritual Counselor
Function and Requirements
Spiritual Counselor - Program of Study
It is the work of a qualified Spiritual Counselor to teach individually, or in groups, persons desirous of attaining the use of the spiritual-physical senses, sometimes called intuition, but the word does not convey the whole true meaning. This positive spiritual development is as taught by the ancient Masters and Holy Orders.
This process in knowledge, experience, work, and scientific prayer does not include phenomenon, created by spirit appearances. We seek the real spiritual-physical guidance, to guide our own life and to aid us in healing.
The development of spiritual-physical senses will permit one to break through the barrier of man's thinking (mass-mind), and see, hear, or have the use of the spiritual worlds of God, and God's Mind. With this kind of training it is possible to communicate with anyone, anywhere, at any time, in any dimension, whether a material world or otherwise.
The use of self-discipline and meditation is a part of the process taught.
The use of the spiritual-physical senses for what is commonly called commercial Fortune Telling is prohibited under any license issued by the Holy Order of the Foundation of Christ, in either spiritual healing or counseling.
The Spiritual senses also manifest, spoken of in the Holy Bible, as speaking in tongues, prophecy, interpreting of tongues and descending of the Holy Spirit etc.
Public demonstrations of these powers may not be used or done for theatrical purposes. If used in Scientific Research, every effort should be made to aid in any way possible, to be accurate. The forecasting of a person passing from the earth plane to a higher state is prohibited.
Personal information obtained through private counseling, or in other ways, is a sacred trust and shall not be revealed. A counselor may not diagnose a physical cause of the condition as a name disease. A counselor may not advise on legal procedures or approaches.
Donationsd may be accepted.
This license must be approved by the Esoteric Council.
