Mystical traditions and institutionalized religions
Mystical traditions have provided many people with inspiration to become better humans. Unfortunately those same traditions are also abused by worldly-minded, power-hungry individuals. This is the reason why many people do not have faith in any mystical tradition. For such people OIDA-therapy provides information, which has moved the great thinkers of the world to become nonsectarian and to discover new spiritual values, previously unknown to them.
For these great thinkers OIDA-therapy is a complete adventure - a journey of discovery, exploring the feelings and the faith of other cultures and inspirations for humanity, which may even lead them to discover their own faith. Faith is natural for everybody. The question is, where and in whom to have faith. This depends on one’s own conditions and the sincerity of approach.
Oriental values are now very popular. This popularity is especially due to the fact that people have lost their faith in the most prominent institutionalized Western religions. Religions which have marked history by their violent efforts to oblige others to accept their faith are obviously less charming than those that have never done so, and which are known for spreading kindness among human beings.
We are using the term “mystical tradition” rather than “religion”, because the abuses perpetrated by institutionalized religions or rather individuals hiding themselves behind such structures, could cause misunderstandings of our purpose and the rejection of our proposal even before it has been properly understood.
There are sincere and loving teachers in all the mystical schools and since healing is the focus of OIDA-therapy help can be taken from them as well.
We believe that God loves all people and has therefore sent inspiration and intuition to all the peoples of this world. This belief is corroborated and reflected in the similarities of mystical traditions; how they coincide in so many ways with similar values, recommendations and practices.
If a person with no faith in any mystical tradition acquires a vision with their common sense, which brings them into a healthy state of life then that is also most welcome. At the same time we do not think that any human resident on this planet can afford to ignore the enormous contribution which mystical traditions have made for humanity in the field of faith, values, language, music, literature, art, and also science.
One of the main objectives of OIDA-therapy is to present the scientific aspects and benefits of faith as well as the subsequent practices which faith brings to us.
Science is a process based on a theory, evaluated by a verification process, which, if it is true, produces the promised and expected result.
Those who are living in the realm of faith are satisfied. This has already been proven on countless occasions. And those who are unhappy and disturbed are on the verge of making a very wonderful discovery through their own experience. This is very exciting. Faith can really transform a person’s life. It can give them so many wonderful things to do, that they will forget their worries and sorrows.
Faith is something that can exist even independently of mystical traditions. This is because one way or another, human existence is mystical in itself. The relationship between men and nature, the way we are born, the way we get married and have children, the way we eat, sleep, think and feel, all this is indeed a mystical experience. We only require eyes to see it. Therefore, OIDA- therapy is not really a completely unknown concept --our faith is our guiding star and impetus for everything we do. As the saying goes, faith can move mountains.
