The Therapist and the Patient
The CTM therapist must face the pathological consequences of
chaotic dynamics which endure in the flow of time and originate
from events related to the individual consciousness. Knowledge,
understanding, consciousness of the world are characteristic
of a subjective ontology, intrinsic to the dynamic relationship
between the complex system and its internal and external environment.
The subjective phenomenological experience can activate a chaotic
dynamic process, in which predominate changes in emotivity, sentiments,
affectivity or particular mental states. A process of interaction
among pre-existing chaotic events is activated, leading to the “unity” with
all the chaotic events under way: this is the “emergent” characteristic
resulting from the environmental influences over the complex
dynamic system.
Emotional life, through the perception of the senses and through
the mental processes of the intelligence, create the equilibrium,
the normality in rational thought. The understanding of the subjective
experience is structured as Self-consciousness and as the self-awareness
of his individuality and personal identity.
Instincts, sensations and emotions activate stimuli which are
perceived and filtered by the senses: these activities involving
a number of processes interacting with the internal and external
environment. The information obtained from the “sensorial
apparatus”, emotions, sentiments taking place at various
levels of the metabolic communicational network, lead to individual
knowledge, understanding, consciousness.
The sensorial apparatus implies subjective reactions to events,
requiring a phenomenological vision of a complex elaboration;a
mental activity which has cognitive difficulties, in the experiential
process, favours the establishment of physiological, behavioural
changes with altered mental states and chaotic evolutions of
the temporal rhythms. The permanency of chaotic states, in the
flow of time, is the cause of the permanency of the alternations,
with an evolutionwhich has influence over the complex system
at various levels. The souldoes not exist: instead there is a
succession of events, occurring in the flow of time, inside the
emotivity, the memory, the understanding. In the process of buildingthe
Self are generated intuitive, emotional mental habits. This variance
of emotions creates the individual’s “state” of
knowledge, understanding, and consciousness.
A complex network of biological mechanisms is present in the
complex internal, circadian clock which synchronizes the internal
rhythm with the external rhythm.
The flow of perceptions is tied to the corporeal image and to
the relational sensations established throughout the conscious
life, in the past and the present: this represents “perceptive
memory” which refers, in the flow of time, to the inter-relations
between the body and the environment.
To the CTM therapist the patient’s reality appears as
a “temporal order”, where events appear as causal,
the effect of action-reaction, in the flow of time. When “chance” is
introduced to events with a cause-effect dynamic, the dynamic
circumstances will change and a union of temporal and atemporal
events takes place: the “synchronicity of the events” is
created. The chaotic evolution develops through the modifications
inside the temporal rhythms, which adapt themselves to the evolution
of the energetic dynamics.
In order to understand this complex double reality, it must
be examined in every detail and in its globality. To achieve
this the therapist must possess a vast repertory of experiences,
a global, real and intuitive understanding of the symbolic thought.
In the atemporal, chaotic dynamic the symbols have creative
implications: through them the real world is unified with the
interior world. The meaning of the fusion between inside-outside
represents the synthesis of the intuitive vision of the symbolic
thought, with the subconscious of the patient.
During the therapeutic process the classic doctor-patient relationship
as it is practiced in Western medicine is eliminated, because
the therapist of CTM is mostly guided by the indications received
during the examination of EC at the pulses.
Soulié de Morant declares:
The therapeutic
process, according to CTM, is the science of the manipulation
of energy. If one does not know what energy is, he will never
be able to control, gradually, the effect of the therapy.
The therapeutic process can achieve success only through a constant
interpretation of the alterations in the EC which appear through
the examination at the pulses. Understanding the complexity between
the two aspects of reality is at the basis of the therapist’s
experience. Vast experience, an intuitive global understanding
of the patient’s symbolic thought are necessary for properly
exercising the therapeutic techniques of CTM.
Along with a vast knowledge and experience, the therapist must
also possess creativity and logical reasoning, which guides and
limits, in order to distinguish what is potential from what is
real, what is probable from what is possible.
The dualism of the mind-body does not exist: the variations
in rhythms observed at the examination of EC at the pulses indicate
the phenomenological origin, physical or psychic, of the initial
chaotic events. Emotions or physical states, the energetic dynamics
of the organs and their functions are at the origin of the internal
interactions. Through the examination of EC at the pulses is
observed the reality of a moment in the individual's embryogenetic
evolution. The examination at the pulses allows the therapist
to examine the complexity of the system's organization, according
to the individual's specificity, as well as to observe the linear
or chaotic aspects of the energetic state, as a manifestation
of the genetic code.
The passages of the EC at the pulses evidence the actual energetic
dynamics inside a biological field, which at the same time lives
in harmonious correlation with the orientation of other dynamic
biological fields.The health of the individual is manifested
by the regularity of the dynamic processes which, having a genetic
origin and a development during the embryonic phase, become manifest
as biological rhythms. The biological clocks, oscillators and
synchronizers, are the “patterns” which determine
the periodic biological rhythms: at the examination of the EC
at the pulses the biological clocks reveal the vast array of
pathologies, whose pathological state arises from the alteration
of the rhythms.
CTM therapy is somatic, Centred inside the body where the unconscious
mind has somatized or converted personal psychic conflict into
an organic disturbance. The therapist acts on the neurophysiological
alterations brought on by the patient’s psycho-somatic
disturbance, specifically at the point(s) where the conflict
manifests itself. The patient’s psycho-somatic responses
to the changes caused by a permanent chaotic dynamic state can
be at the origin of pre-pathological conditions, which the therapist
resolves by re-equilibrating the dynamics inside the energetic
circulation.
As all the information gathered from the examination of the
EC at the pulses testify to the actual health conditions, metabolic
equilibrium, the traces left by previous pathologies and finally
the future “history” of the patient, even before
pathological symptoms become manifest, it is possible for the
therapist to apply a preventive therapy.The therapeutic intervention
avoids permanent damages and works in favour of patient “longevity” through
the harmonization of the psycho-physical equilibrium.
The integrated dialectics of CTM offers the necessary means
to take care of the subjective ontology of a phenomenological
experience, as well as the consequences of the permanency of
the chaotic dynamics in the flow of time. The mental equilibrium
which develops together with the rhythms in EC over the course
of time make it possible for the patient to achieve an awareness
and consciousness of reality.
Under the guide of the observations made on the movements of
the temporal rhythms at the examination of the EC at the pulses,it
is possible to return the altered dynamics inside the temporal
rhythms to a normal state of equilibrium.It is also necessary
to provide a “prevention” of the initial chaotic
event, in order to ensure the harmony and stability of the energetic
dynamics.
This operation represents an important professional and human ethical
responsibility on the part of the therapist, who must assume the
conscious role and responsibility of reintegrating the patient
inside the universal laws of nature.
