“… When you have resources you have options. You are facing the closed minds of a whole generation. When a doctor doesn’t have belief or hope, then the resources would not come out. That’s as far as the patient will go. The doctor wouldn’t be able to talk to the Helper because the Helper wouldn’t feel a bond. It would stop where he wants it to stop—not what he wants, but stop where his belief is. In other words this is not hocus-pocus. People have been taught for so many years not to believe in the supernatural. They just dismissed it. The belief and faith, itself, is what makes the progress. You hear a patient saying, ‘I wish I had another psychologist. Patients sense doctors’ beliefs, he isn’t going to get better. Faith and belief only progresses, advances the mind. If a person expects the best life, they can do better; changes attitude. You keep pushing on the attitude. Now, we wouldn’t have come; and the Pyramid Lady, her Guardian Angel, and I couldn’t have come, if you wouldn’t have been open minded, open in your belief. Gloria wouldn’t have believed in us. Psychiatrists damage people by labeling them. In so doing they put an artificial limit to what that person can experience. No matter what happens in life they think it’s a coincidence, chance, rather than their own resources that brought it about. It actually does damage to a person for psychiatrists to stop there. After the patient finishes they ask themselves a lot of questions. They don’t believe in themselves and go through life not really whole. For example, a psychiatrist might have blamed Gloria’s parents for her emotional state. Gloria would have gone away more depressed and damaged, while the psychiatrist thinks he’s done his job. It is interesting to talk to you because you have an open mind. Korea was the beginning of your life’s battles. Now you meet with all these characters, Gloria’s therapeutic selves, and never know what you’re going to come up against. See revelations every day. The unknown is frightening. People dismiss, ignore and write it off as weird, anything spiritual. It is not frightening when you begin to understand. People here are very blind—think they see, don’t see at all. They would get a shock if they opened their eyes.”
