This is my first post on this site. I just found out about it. "Gnosis" sent me an e-mail saying that she had posted something about Idenics here and sent me a link. After reading Alan's posting in the "What is Idenics?" discussion, I thought that it deserved some comment from me.
It is not my intention to argue philosophies or methods or make him wrong for anything that he is doing. But I do want to correct some misconceptions that he has regarding what WE are doing in Idenics. And since this is a discussion about what Idenics is, I believe my posting is appropriate.
I certainly agree with Alan's idea that it would be a real problem if we were to have to address every identity that a being has assumed in their existence. Fortunately, the only identities that we ever need to address are the ones that a person is stuck in or with. And in truth, there are a limited number of these. Also, I wish to clarity that I don't believe that it is a bad or aberrative thing to assume identities. I hold with the definition of aberration that defines an aberration as, "an ability gone out of control." In other words, at the "bottom" of every aberration is an ability.
To assume or throw away any identity at will is an ability. To get stuck in or with an identity or to assume them automatically in inappropriate circumstances is an aberration. And as I have stated above, we only need to address the ones an individual is stuck in or with, and there are a limited number of these.
Secondly, it is easy for one coming from a Scientology background to get the idea that we have categorized types of identites, have some sort of identity lists or rundowns, and program our clients to "run out" these predetermined kinds of identities. This is very far from what we do. We have no such agenda for our clients. Actually, we have no agenda at all for clients. We ONLY work from the client's agenda, and DIRECTLY address whatever the client wishes to handle, resolve, change or improve. However, in addressing what the client wishes to, we obviously have techniques, processes or questions that we employ in doing this, and these techniques, processes or questions are based on certain concepts. Since we don't work with a client in a rote manner, as every person is different, an Idenics practitioner must be able to adjust questions to the individual being worked with. In order to do this a practitioner must have a good grasp of the concepts employed in Idenics. One of the major concepts used in Idenics (and which the name "Idenics" was coined from) is the subject of "identities."
The subject of identities is not new, and has been around for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. There have been many different terms, definitions and ideas used to describe this sort of phenomenon. But much about the make-up of identities, how they are generated and assumed, and their importance in therapy was not known until Idenics. In Idenics we define an identity as simply, "a way of being in order to accomplish something."
If one is interested in knowing more about Idenics, its history and development, and its comparsion with Scientology, there is quite a bit written about these things in a series of articles that I published on some former Scientology newsgroups a couple of years ago. These series' were picked up and archived on several different Web sites including Mike Hunsaker's freezoneamerica.org, which just recently went down. Fortunately, this site was just mirrored and you can access these mirrored sites at
