"It was foolish then, and it is foolish now, to describe one's spiritual learning in front of people... because it does not give a person any social status."

Q: What does "not medical model" mean - when describing this practice?
A: Some healthcare necessarily also involves temporary social controls over the lives and experience of people seeking help--another word for it is managed care. This puts the provider in a somewhat superior role in relation to the people seeking care, and can involve a dependency. In the kind of care offered here, everything is to return self-direction to the individual, encourage self-determination and more self-reliance on inner resources. The provider, and the professional network of which they are a part, are on a more equal footing with people seeking treatment, not in a position of superior control, oversight or power over the person seeking treatment. The motivation, healing and self-responsibility come from within the person treated, of itself, not enforced through externally engineered controls. This principle is analogous to how a child grows in the womb, or a seed sprouts and of itself grows into a plant or tree--through its own volition.
