Sorry,this religion/hypnosis discussion has got me curious about those Christians and thier practice.

Q. What would happen if a Luciferian were to suddenly appear in your office and want to quit
smoking?

After all isn't our obligation/responsibilty to our clients?

I will haelp anyone with a sincere desire to quit, and I will use the methods that have peoven effectice for thsoe with similar situations. And although I might EXPOSE my religious bias, there is absolutely no reason to IMPOSE our biases or belief on the clients treatment plan. My job isn;t really to get people into heaven or hell, it is to help them make healthy life changes so they will be around long enough to make up there own mind...
P.S., is the Luciferian paying in cash? LOL

If a Luciferian is what I think it is, I'd aim a fire extinguisher at it. ;)

If it's not what I think it is, then they'd be just another client. And treated with respect, helped to quit smoking, etc. Like Richard said already, my religious bias might possibly be exposed, but I wouldn't seek to use the therapeutic environment to evangelize.

If a Luciferian were to suddenly appear in my office, I would agree to help him quit smoking as long as he taught me that power of teleportation in exchange. Then I would include some variant of High Road/Low Road metaphor --- the Low Road ("stick") would emphasize the powerlessness that smokers feel, how smoking conflicts with their view of themselves by representing weak behavior that sheep ("prey") engage in, etc. Not much different than standard client, except with more emphasis on certain aspects that would appeal to this type.
I'd quote him my prices and do my very best to help him stop smoking. Duh. I'd do the same thing for a Christian, despite their history of killing my fellow Pagans. *wink* I mean, it's been quite a while since they ripped Hypatia limb from limb in the streets of Alexandria, and I'm ready to let bygones be bygones. :-)

To me, a more pressing question is this: What would you do if a convicted child molester came to your office, asking to get over his low self-esteem? I may have to actually deal with this issue before too much longer, while the Luciferian population in my neck of the woods is pretty low.

My answer to this is a bit tongue in cheek.

First, wondering how I would know my client was a Luciferian (I don't make it a habit to ask religious preferences)
Second, I would realize that his right to practice the religion of choice is protected by the Constitution of the United States,
Third, would "suddenly appearing" be like in a puff of smoke? So for him to quit smoking mean he needs a fire extinguisher?
Lastly, wondering why Christian hypnotists are singled out as generically having issues with other religions, say more than any of the other religions? Christians have the story of the Good Samaritan to follow. (Samaritans were depicted as a godless race of liars)
It's okay to forgive - but let's not forget why they ripped our beloved Hypatia limb from limb--

She got it -- So they gave it to her--

"I don't know whether the world is run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it."
Hypatia
If a Luciferian were to suddenly appear in my office - I'd have him schedule an appointment just like every body else--

I'm imagining a Luciferian is kinda like a devil in dredlocks - "I want to give up da weed mon!"
A Luciferian? Since when did we stop calling them Satanists? Is "Satanist" now politically incorrect or something? Or is it just chichi to say "Luciferian"?

Anyway, I'm an atheist and a person's religious belief is of no concern to me unless it directly impacts the therapy. I've always had a problem with people that hang their sign out to the public and then discriminate against other people's value systems. There is just something that tastes wrong about that.
'Lastly, wondering why Christian hypnotists are singled out as generically having issues with other religions, say more than any of the other religions?'

I wondered that, as well. So, James' question about the convicted child molester is more pertinent to me. If we're human, we're all gonna have clients that we 'struggle' with.
light sleeper,

I suppose it depends on whether this person considered themselves a Gnostic Luciferian, Traditional Luciferian, or Modern Luciferian.

Michael
When I see questions or conversations like this...I can't help but get sucked back into the 'what is real' issue. Because what is real to me isn't real to someone else. So, a Lucifer to me - may not be a Lucifer to someone else - depending on their reality, right?

So, with that kind logic - if a Luciferian were to suddenly appear in my office, it is good to assume that he/she has done something to make it known "to me" that they are Lucifer. I suppose...I would have to refer them OUT to someone who might be more helpful than I would be. Considering, my energy and his/hers would not be in sync, so how much help would I be, really? Or not really...

~~D.
LOL!! Dot Vus a Goot Vun!
