Spiritologie Basic Theory:

All—and I really mean precisely what I am saying here, all– that you perceive and experience is exactly what you, out of yourself and through your own causal thinking, are creating – actually right now!…”

This could be read as 100% solipsism by the way. Solipsism (sɒlɪpsɪzəm; from Latin solus, meaning ‘alone’, and ipse, meaning ‘self’) is the philosophical idea that only one’s mind is sure to exist.(Wikipedia)

Or – as most spiritologists believed – it is a standard edition of the philosophy of idealism which is the philosophical view that states that our reality is shaped by our thoughts and ideas.

Buttler’s reasoning when applying the principle above to himself at a time he was in poor shape, quoted from his letter, goes as follows:

“When one has complete control over considerations and thought patterns (with the appropriate cognitions, awareness levels and rundown completions) and yet circumstances occur in life that completely contradict one’s own creation… the only choice left is to question the basic theory on which the Spiritologie is built!”

Based on this fallacious logic he cancelled and generally disowned all of Spiritologie

The Logical Argument

Premise 1: All—and I really mean precisely what I am saying here, all– that you perceive and experience is exactly what you, out of yourself and through your own causal thinking, are creating – actually right now!…”

Premise 2:  “When one has complete control over considerations and thought patterns (with the appropriate cognitions, awareness levels and rundown completions)

Premise 3: and yet circumstances occur in life that completely contradict one’s own creation

False Conclusion: … the only choice left is to question the basic theory on which the Spiritologie is built!” (Premise 1)

Correct Conclusion: Either Premise 1 or premise 2  is false, assuming that premise 3 is true. And the more likely one is that premise 2 is false as it is based on the assumption – contrary to evidence -that the founder of Spiritologie’s application of the techniques was perfect and complete.

The paradox

I experience circumstances occurring in my life that completely contradict the Principle of Spiritologie which tell me that the Principle of Spiritologie is untrue, this is because I thought that the experience right now in my life contradicts the Principle of Spiritologie. Thus the Principle of Spiritologie is true.

revised Aug 2019 to add the syllogism and rephrase the paradox – see also:  spiritologie.blogspot.de

In the course of this article I will describe a hitherto unsuspected aspect of the fundamental tenet of Spiritologie.

Andreas Buttler, the founder of Spiritologie said in his written statement which was published in January 2014.

“Anyone who has been extensively involved with Spiritologie knows the foundations, on which it is built. These fundamentals define why we do sessions why we look for considerations and why we want to gradually improve and perfect our thinking.

The most important foundation pillar can be found in the chapter “The Spiritual Being”:

All—and I really mean precisely what I am saying here, all– that you perceive and experience is exactly what you, out of yourself and through your own causal thinking, are creating – actually right now!…”

… What was worrying me was the fact that in the last two years I experienced different things, which contradicted the foundations as shown in the above statements; which meant that I did after all find exceptions to these basic statements….etc

Andreas then goes on and finally states:

“Since I can no longer with a clear conscience – from current view and state of knowledge represent the basic statements of the book as “demonstrably and without exception” true, I renounce my declarations in support of the fundamentals described in my book Spiritologie” and in various lectures!”

This ground pillar of Spiritologie is an interesting statement from a logical point of view. Read the statement in italics above again. First he believed it was true and now he says and believes it is false.

Logic 1: Andreas thinks the fundamental is false that means that Andreas experiences the statement as false and that this experience is not caused by his thinking right now.

Logic 2: By his causative thinking that the statement is false, he will experience that the statement is false. Thus the statement is true.

Do you follow?

If anyone for that matter thinks the fundamental tenet – the statement – is not true, they will experience exactly that. This confirms the statement.

So now we can all see this and recognize that the fundamental tenet of Spiritologie as stated by Andreas Buttler is and was a self-referential statement. So here we have the paradox all nicely laid out and we can stop worrying about it.

I have no doubt that Andreas was not aware of the full implications as we have sketched above. Once he does see that it may be a relief also for him
