SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT COUNSELOR

It is the work of a qualified person to teach individually or in groups, the persons taught are those desirous of attaining the use of the five spiritual senses. Sometimes this is called intuition – but this does not convey the whole true meaning.

This positive spiritual development as was taught by the ancient Masters and Orders.

This process is Knowledge, Experience, Work and Scientific Prayer. Phenomenon created by spirit appearances is not what we seek, but the real spiritual intuitional guidance, to guide our own life and to aid in Healing.

The development of extrasensory perception permits one to break through the barrier of Mass Mind and see, hear or have the use of these spiritual worlds of God and Mind.

Through this development, it is possible to communicate with anyone, anywhere, at any time, in any dimension, whether it is called material world or any other.

The use of self discipline and meditation are also part of the process used.

The use of the spiritual senses for what is commonly called commercial Fortune Telling is prohibited under any license issued by the Science of Man Church in either Spiritual Healing, Counseling, or as a Minister.

BY-LAWS FOR SCIENCE OF MAN CHURCH CORPORATION, 11-5-88, page 13

The Spiritual senses also manifest as are spoken of in the Holy Bible as speaking in tongues, prophecy, interpreting tongues and the descending of the Holy Ghost. Public demonstrations of these powers may not be 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 Death of any individual to another is prohibited.

The personal information obtained through private counseling or other ways is a sacred trust and shall not be revealed.

Donations may be accepted.

A counselor may not diagnose a physical cause of the condition as a name disease.

The counselor may not give legal procedures or approaches.

This license must also be approved by the Esoteric Council.
