Episode 25: Several ancient religions had their prophecies confirmed when exact copies of their manuscripts were discovered between 1947-1960's. Over 4 Billion Believers in the Dead Sea Scrolls Over half of the world believes in religions emanating from the Dead Sea Scrolls (Table 1). Sometimes people switch religions and other folks only partly assimilate the teachings into their lives. Because loving release of all people and things is central to healing, there is no place in the healing community for hate speech toward anyone. If you are recovering from a violent past, Biblical Psychiatry from a Dead Sea Scroll healing practice may be helpful in releasing harmful messages of childhood and the subconscious mind. I can say that from experience with Complimentary and Alternative Medicine helping with other mental health conditions such as chronic pain syndrome, memory loss, and sexual disorders. https://vimeo.com/1135228120 Download & Share the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT. Religious and Spiritual Problems in the Field of Psychiatry In 1994, the American Psychiatric Association published the DSM-IV, reconceptualizing religious and spiritual problems as a separate V-code 62.89 that could explain symptoms.1 This is significant for two reasons. First, it medicalized and pathologized spiritual and religious problems. Second, it placed spiritual and religious problems right next to mainstream psychiatric disorders on a differential diagnosis, allowing a clinician a choice between one or the other. The field of medicine and psychiatry both seek to offer effective, compassionate care to all peoples regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion or creed. It has been a privilege to offer compassionate, holistic care to patients from all walks of life since I took the Hippocratic Oath in 2003. National standardized board exams have at least one “Religious Problem” question on the multiple-choice questions along the pathway to becoming a board-certified psychiatrist. There was little to no training from mainstream medicine into ancient healing practices, however. The risk is that psychiatrists would diagnose a spiritual experience as a psychiatric condition, further confounding things for the patient. If the patient has a spiritual experience, it may be comforting but it may be terrifying depending on a whole host of different circumstances. I’ve never used V-code 62.89, but I regularly engage convesations about any ancestral healing modalities. This podcast is my attempt to improve communication between doctors and patients. What follows is an outline of common history. Prophecies Confirmed by Carbon-Dating The Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) are a collection of over 25,000 fragments comprising the remains of about 1,000 ancient manuscripts found in various sites in the Judean Desert mostly between 1947 and the 1960s.2 These documents were validated by modern carbon-dating, giving undeniable archeological evidence supporting that hundreds of the ancient prophecies have already come true. For a prophecy to be true, it is expected that event take place in plain sight of all the people. Ancient prophets were serious business. The prophets were killed for any mistakes. A few were outcast, but most were advisors to kings and world leaders. The Canon of Scripture The "canon" refers to the 66 books that were selected to be in the Bible combining the Old and New Testaments. They were selected because the prophecies and cross-references are all internally consistent with each other. They have different author perspectives, of course, and the books' authorship dates are spread out over 1,500 years at least. With enough study bibles and bible studies, it is possible to learn all of the pieces necessary to prove this consistency to yourself. I highly recommend you take the time to do that as early in life as possible. For a fascinating way to get started with prophecy, I highly recommend Beth Moore's presentation of the Book of Daniel. My esoteric friends will be curious to learn that the Archangel Michael can only be in one place at a time. Modern "Religious Problems" The field of psychiatry contains clinical evaluations of people at all stages of life, including times of deep excitement or deep sorrow related to religion. Divorce, followed by trauma within the religion itself, are pretty typical. They come to our offices in tears of sadness and joy that are profound. They look to us for guidance even if we're not familiar with their religion. Please be patient with a psychiatrist from a different religion from you. In general, we are trained to diagnose that a religious or spiritual problem is occurring and to refer you to the proper religious or spiritual leader. Give them a chance to impress you with their professionalism. If they don't, book a Mindshift Assessment with me immediately. I know what it's like to see the shame-control system behind the curtains of churches. It is possible to heal-in-place. Let me help you. Eighty-nine percent of Christians haven't read the bible. The book of Psalms has wonderfully relaxing passages, providing solid comfort for millions over millenea. In 2003, 54% of pastors endorsed viewing porn. In 2024, 86% of pastors say pornography is a problem among pastors. The King James bible translation was written at a 12th-Grade reading level. Bill Combs writes a nice article about how it should have embarrassed the evil king that an 11-page disclaimer was written by the translators that were forced to work with enethical rules of translation. The New King James Bible was further dumbed down to a 7th-Grade reading level. I prefer to study a Chronological Bible and I would love to host a bible study if you're interested to keep each other accountable. The history has been watered down and obfuscated over the millennia by bygone government fact-checkers.3-6 I think the main way history gets lost is by putting the books out of order. The books in the bible are not in chronological order so, if anyone were reading it, generations might miss the absolutely most crucial piece of world history - hundreds of prophecies have come true.

About the Author: Catholic, Protestant, & Satanist, Oh My! My religious background includes the earliest memories of Catholic masses with my grandparents. I was in the Lutheran church in elementary school around the years of my traumas. Abuse and frustration occured as a teenager and, despite the grace of a YMCA child daycare manager, I turned to Satan briefly at age 15. I sobered up at age 19 and rededicated my life to Jesus Christ at John Osteen's original Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. That's when they used to pray for you to receive the Holy Spirit after every alter call. I studied the New Testament and had a few hundred pages of notes before joining the Army two years later in 1993. For over a year prior to joining the Army the first time, I attended a Full Gospel Pentecostal-Style church in South Houston, Texas with Pastor Roy Love. He said “There’s healing in the presence of the Lord” and I felt something quicken in my chest and grab my attention. I strongly thought that the pastor was right and I decided right then to keep attending. They spoke in tongues, sang, danced and got slain in the Spirit like you see on TV. I participated in effective healings at age 20. I'm 53 now and, as a Master Healer, I think so fondly of Pastor Love's simple wisdom. He was right. It's the very presense of the Lord that replaces the trauma residue from our bodies. The discovery of a real spiritual life was the only way to make sense of some paranormal experiences I had had already by age 19, but more about that later on. My faith came to life in many ways during the 1997 humanitarian mission to Benin, Africa. It changed my life enough to cause me to pursue the field of medicine in the first place and I made a documentary about it (MEDFLAG 97-1). The biggest reason this Texan became so diverse is because at the age of 21 my first duty assignment in the U.S. Army was Germany in 1993. This was two years after the Berlin wall came down and we could see the bullet holes on all of their buildings on the East side. I wrote my own notebook on a History of Isreal while stationed overseas and attended a German-speaking church. I had two years of remote duty and did not speak the language or have any real military support in-person. I didn't even know how to buy vegetables at the grocery store. Visiting the place where Anne Frank died in the Netherlands, Bergen Belsen, really hit me hard. I earned the German Studies Certificate from the University of Maryland while I was stationed in Germany. That is where I leared about how the Nazi movement subjugated progressive causes and created the world's largest killing machine without the knowledge of the people paying for it. I still love the heavy metal music that comes from Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany and many of the European and Scandinavian countries because their ballads capture the story of the warriors from all
