What Kind Of Outlaw Are You Willing To Be?

Posted on November 19, 2025 by David

You consider yourself to be a free-spirited trailblazer, but others will consider you a renegade and a dangerous outlaw if you reject conventional norms or allegiances. You are sincerely forging new paths to provide help for conditions that are not currently being addressed, but you may be challenging traditional beliefs and institutions in the process.


You consider your mission to be vitally important, but in the execution of your mission, you could be flouting established authority and can be considered dangerous to those who are invested in the status quo.

You may be focused on positive things like independence, courage, originality, and challenging unjust authority, but you can be viewed as displaying the illegal or criminal aspects of being an outlaw if you break the written and unwritten agreements of the society you live in.

Conformity and obedience to social agreements are expected of well-regarded citizens. Anything that is done outside these established norms can set off alarms within an established community and can eventually precipitate a violent reaction against those who attempt new activities, however beneficial or necessary.

Introducing spiritual healing into a conventional community is equivalent to bringing cell phones into an Amish community. Both can be considered disrespectful to shared values and threatening enough to require corrective actions by established authority. It doesn’t matter how valuable a technology or activity can be if its introduction violates community beliefs and agreements.

Those of us who communicate with spirits and handle their upsets and the problems they create in our lives and bodies have total certainty of the value of our work. We use many different approaches and produce a variety of results, but the validity of our ability to help is not visible to those with beliefs and agreements that exclude any consideration of remedies beyond those the group has agreed upon.

The only approach that seems to work is to find those points both groups can agree on and expand the areas of agreement by caring communication until both groups can agree on an acceptable level of help. If acceptable help is provided, this can open the door to providing additional help and increased survival for all concerned.

If helping efforts are not recognized and welcomed, they are considered enforced help, and this ends badly for all concerned. Help only those who can be made to recognize its value. Then you will get the recognition you deserve. Otherwise, you may be regarded as a threat and an outlaw to be punished.

A New Approach To Handling Painful Memories

Posted on November 20, 2025 by David

The traditional way to handle painful memories has been to find a spiritual expert of some sort and have that person listen to your account of the problem and advise you on possible solutions until you find one that satisfies your needs. This is reasonably workable and has been in effect for thousands of years.

One of the purposes of Spiritual Rescue Technology has been to provide motivated people with the tools to discover the sources of and the methodology to deal with painful memories so they no longer create a barrier to a happy and productive life.

We have known for some time that painful memories are mental image pictures containing pain and unconsciousness and a host of other characteristics like thoughts, decisions, intentions, emotions, and predictions. They can stay in suspension for many years, and they affect behavior and many other aspects of survival.

Recently, we have observed that mental image pictures containing pain and unconsciousness have characteristics that make them easier to address and resolve. These mental image pictures are created when a painful or frightening incident occurs. Psychologists take the view that these images are traces made in the brain. Scientologists take the position that these mental images are stored in the reactive mind. SRT practitioners have discovered that these mental image pictures are created by spirits and are stored in the location where they occurred. They persist in that location until some sort of spiritual cleansing is performed. If you have ever visited the location where a brutal murder or other atrocity has occurred, you may have noticed that you felt uncomfortable, and that is the reason for your discomfort.

We can easily demonstrate this persistence of painful memories of pain and unconsciousness by putting our attention on the exact location where the incident occurred. A psychically aware person will perceive various aspects of the original incident as he reaches into and puts his attention on the mental image remaining at that site. We have demonstrated the validity of this phenomenon  in counseling sessions and in our weekly online workshops. Everyone participating registers some impression of the content of the incident. Some get visual images, others get thoughts or other mental impressions, and some even get audio impressions of sounds or speech.

We are currently running sessions for the purpose of rehabilitating client abilities where the counselor and client put their attention on the exact location in space where a particularly unpleasant incident occurred and the client’s life was affected negatively from that point on. The client does the bulk of the work, with the counselor acting as a coach to assist the client when the emotional charge in the incident becomes too overpowering.

The client is encouraged to put his attention on the incident and to relate what he discovers. He does this as a reach and withdraw effort where every reach is followed by withdrawing and relating to the counselor what was discovered until the emotional charge in the incident is completely handled and the client is cheerful with the result. In the event that this process does not produce relief, the client is asked to discover whether an earlier, similar event has occurred. When all of the earlier similar events have been located and handled, the client no longer has attention stuck on these memories.

When a person no longer has attention stuck on painful or unpleasant memories, they are free to create without fear or distractions. This will give them a new life and a brighter future.

I will be happy to give you a free introductory session so you can see for yourself how this works.

Unexpected Barriers To Affection

Posted on November 14, 2025 by David

Affection is an essential component of healthy relationships and emotional life, representing a foundation for social bonding and mutual support. The presence of affection in relationships can contribute to emotional and physical well-being, reducing stress and encouraging happiness. While affection is related to love, it often refers to a milder, more enduring feeling that promotes warmth and closeness without the intensity of passion.

A lack of affection can significantly affect mental health by increasing the risks of depression, anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem, and chronic stress. Regular affection—through physical touch, kind words, or supportive actions—serves as a crucial buffer against emotional distress and supports overall psychological well-being. In summary, insufficient affection is not just an emotional issue; it has well-documented, harmful effects on mental health and quality of life.

When two people meet again, and both are operating in present time, there is a possibility that a pleasant exchange will occur. If you walk into your doctor’s office and the receptionist smiles and says, “Good to see you again!”, she is showing affection for you, and your life force increases.

When you visit a store or office you have visited before, and you are greeted with a blank stare, the person is not acknowledging your presence in a positive way. When you see a member of your family and they regard you with suspicion or distrust, they are not showing any affection for you, and they are not contributing to your survival.

A person who has been denied affection will have increased vulnerability to depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation. It may have been going on for so long that the person doesn’t even recognize the danger in this situation, because they accept it as a normal condition of life. The person may have been hurt emotionally for so long that they don’t remember how to express affection for others. They are truly alone in their suffering.

I have encountered too many people who have been emotionally damaged by a lack of affection from parents, spouses, and business associates. Until the person recognizes the permanent damage this causes, and does something about it, their lives are filled with unnecessary suffering. In some cases, these people waste their lives attempting to show affection for individuals who do not deserve their attention or their affection.

Affection must be freely given and accepted to benefit the people involved. If you are showing affection to someone because of family ties, and they return your affection with indifference or disdain, you need to orient yourself in present time and see that they are no longer emotionally connected to you. Relatives and friends who do not respond to your affection diminish your quality of life, and their company and presence should not be encouraged. You are encouraged to ask why they no longer like you, but you will probably not like what you discover, and you should focus on those who return your affection instead.

When someone you were affectionate with no longer considers you to be a worthwhile friend, you may have done something to offend them, or they may have been influenced by someone who desired to harm you. If they cannot tell you what you did to offend them, you need to cut ties with them and find others to bond with.

Your survival depends on others having affection for you and being the kind of people you have affection for. Reach out and find those people and keep them close to you. You won’t regret it.

If you cannot recover the ability to feel affection for people, I can help you with that, and it shouldn’t take more than a few sessions to begin discovering how to feel affection and experience happiness again. Send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail.com

Why Affection Is Important To Your Survival

Posted on November 6, 2025 by David

Affection is a feeling of liking, caring, or fondness for someone or something, often marked by a tender attachment or emotional warmth. This sentiment can be directed toward people, animals, or even places, and is commonly viewed as a gentle or moderate emotional state associated with love, but distinct from deeper passions or desires. Affection is frequently expressed through looks, words, gestures, or touch, serving as a means of communicating emotional connection and support. Affection is important for social and emotional well-being and can benefit health by fostering social connections and happiness.

​

It can be directed at people, animals, or even inanimate things, and it’s often associated with expressions such as hugs, smiles, or caring words. Regular expressions of affection contribute to well-being, reduce stress, boost immune response, and strengthen social bonds. When affection is absent, individuals may crave it or experience negative emotional effects. In summary, affection is a positive feeling or display of regard, warmth, or fondness, crucial for healthy emotional relationships and well-being.


People show affection in both verbal and nonverbal ways—through kind words, gestures like hugging or touching, or simple acts of care such as petting a cat or supporting a loved one. The specific way affection is expressed can vary by culture and individual preferences, but its core function is to build and maintain connections between people. Affection is a moderate, positive emotion that supports relationships and individual well-being through caring and supportive gestures.


Cultural differences have a significant impact on how affection is expressed between individuals, influencing communication styles, acceptable public behaviors, and relationship dynamics across societies. Understanding these diverse norms and traditions helps foster empathy and avoid miscommunication in cross-cultural relationships.
Unlike love, which often involves an emotional and sometimes contractual commitment, affection can be spontaneous, temporary, and free of binding responsibilities. It is the expression of positive feelings that can occur independently of the deeper ties associated with commitment.


A lack of affection can significantly affect mental health. Research consistently shows that affection deprivation is linked to increased feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, stress, and lower self-esteem. Affection acts as a buffer against mental distress and supports emotional stability. Without it, people may feel unloved, unwanted, and isolated, which can trigger self-doubt, lower self-worth, and a sense of disconnection from others. Over time, these negative emotions can lead to or worsen mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. A lack of affection can lead to poor relationship satisfaction, emotional distance, and difficulty forming or maintaining close bonds. This can make individuals more vulnerable to mental health issues and reduce the overall quality of life. In summary, insufficient affection can erode mental health and emotional resilience, substantially increasing the risk of depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders.


So, what does this have to do with you? If you are not getting affection from the pets or people in your environment, you are surviving on your own and are not doing very well. You have not learned how important affection is and are not showing affection to others, so unless you smarten up and learn how to show affection, you are just going to get worse and suffer the consequences.


If you take a good look at the people who make you feel better, you will see people who show you affection. If you look at the people who make you feel inadequate and useless, you are seeing people you do not show affection for, and they do not show affection for you either.


If you find a way to show affection for something a person does for you, you will strengthen the social bonds between you, and you will both be better off in the future. If someone you know is being an utter waste of oxygen, you should consider how to show affection for him removing himself from your life and no longer wasting your attention and concern. Direct him to your equivalent of the Gadarene Swine and let nature take its course.


Maintain your affection for people, pets, and things that promote your happiness and survival. Building affection is less about grand gestures and more about small, mindful habits practiced consistently each day, regardless of relationship type.


Go and practice affection for people, pets, and things that matter. You will feel better in just a few days.
