The evaluation of the faith chart could be done by applying a system like:
-really
-yes
-always
-mostly
-sometimes
-not at all
The questionnaires’ main purpose is to make the people aware of the nature of faith and its different opportunities. According to the results of this chart it may be recommended to the patient to go deeper into his mystical tradition or to get a brighter picture of all mystic traditions.
If someone has no faith at all in any mystical tradition, it is recommended to approach the OIDA-therapy through the indigenous nature revealing tradition. Considering that the person who comes to OIDA-therapy is suffering from different unpleasant circumstances, OIDA-therapy recommends re-evaluating the value of discovering some meaning in life.
It is recommended that the person should abandon the preconceived notion that there is no good and no meaning of life, simply because he has not seen it personally
For someone who refuses to accept that possibility it is recommended to study the OIDA-therapy chart of the believers of materialism, which shows that even without believing in God we end up believing in something.
Then it is recommended to compare the effects of having faith in different mystic traditions and/or having faith in the material principles of life.
If no faith in any mystical tradition awakens in the patient, OIDA-therapy recommends becoming knowledgeable of the theory of OIDA-therapy itself, so that one can understand how health was viewed in the tradition of humanity and how these lifestyles benefited the well being rather than the modernized artificial lifestyle full of chemicals.
