Mace Method

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mace Method utilises the inherent power of the human spirit to eliminate emotional problems, hence its ready classification as Energy Psychology. Although the Mace Method is a form of Energy Psychology it is a unique, independent procedure, so despite its classification as Energy Psychology, it has no connection whatsoever with any other Energy Psychology modality.

Used by trained practitioners, the Mace Method is a tool for emotional healing. In a total departure from conventional counselling, it does not involve any self–disclosure and requires only one or two therapy sessions, which can even be carried out over the telephone.

In his book, Don't Think of an Elephant, John Mace describes the concept of Causism and its practical component, the Mace Method, and explains how the unknowingly created negative identities that influence our lives and prevent us attaining our goals can be located and dis–created.

 Causism

Causism is a new body of knowledge, a new philosophy of life. Its name is derived from two words.

   * Cause; to create an effect; to make things happen.
   * Ism; a doctrine, system or principle.

The name shuns the elitism of Greek and Latin roots and is coined from Anglo-Saxon words more commonly understood. Causism is very much a practical philosophy, for in addition to its theories and principles, it embodies the component called the Mace Method.

Human Energy Unit

We are energy, units of Human Energy, hence the coined expression, Human Energy Unit that is used instead of the more religiously aligned expression Spiritual Being. This is in keeping with the scientific and non–religious nature of Causism.

Causism is a scientific examination of life. Its fundamental principles and laws are to be found in its close cousins, those other forms of energy, magnetism and electricity. We are energy and as science will tells us, energy in any form is indestructible. Therefore we, not our bodies, are immortal, timeless, sentient and aware energy units, using and activating our bodies.

Universes & the Energy Universe

As science will verify, you cannot destroy energy, but as we all know from observation, you can destroy material objects. It is logical therefore to put each in a different class. In keeping with this classification, Causism refers to two universes, the Energy Universe and the Material (physical) Universe. We, as energy units are logically included in the energy universe.

The deeper quantum physics researches, the closer they are getting to the basis of the entire universe, energy, which is why recent research in quantum physics has started to raise doubts about some of the accepted ideas of Newton and even Einstein. Quantum physics research, getting ever nearer to basics, is encroaching or drifting more into the energy universe, away from the logics of the material universe where the logics of Newton and Einstein are more germane. The difference in the logics of the physical universe compared to the logics of the energy universe is very important. The Mace Method, in addressing beings (Human Energy Units) and not bodies, utilises the logics of the energy universe and not the logics of the material universe.

The Identity, the Fourth Dimension—the Missing Link

The Mace Method has nothing to do with religion, but having said that it is generally accepted that we are composed of three elements; mind, body & spirit. What the Causism research has uncovered is that there is a fourth element that has been named an Identity. These identities are of two types; knowingly created pro–survival identities and unknowingly created non–survival identities. The former are known as Positive Identities and the second, Negative Identities.

Every aspect of a person’s personality, good, bad or indifferent stems from these negative identities. Based on the Causism research, the Mace Method not only isolates the negative identities, but also permanently eliminates them.

Dr. John Mace was awarded a Ph.D. for his research, which led him to develop the Mace Method. He is principal of a successful training academy in Perth, West Australia, where he also works as a Mace Method practitioner.
