Abstract
Faradarmani and Psymentology are Iranian complementary medicines that apply Taheri Consciousness Fields (TCFs) to treat disturbances of human existential dimensions, founded and introduced by Mohammad Ali Taheri with over 40 years of history. In these complementary medicines, the Connection between the partial and Whole (Cosmic) T-Consciousness is established, and consequently, the scan of the system under study is performed for repair and correction. The current research aimed to examine the effect of the Faradarmani and Psymentology training courses and their TCFs on the perception of God among the clients of the Erfane-Kamal center in Tehran. The quasi-experimental method with the pretest-post was utilized for 35 participants who were simply-randomly selected from 100 persons who actively and voluntarily underwent the Faradarmani and Psymentology TCFs and training courses (56 sessions, twice a week for 120 minutes, including theoretical subjects and practical experience of TCFs). Greeley’s perception of the God scale includes 72 phrases with six subscales. A Four-point Likert scale was used. Data collected from scales were analyzed, using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and SPSS software. Results demonstrated that the Faradarmani and Psymentology education had an effect on the perception of God and determined a 66% change in post-test (p<0.001). The Faradarmani and Psymentology training courses have an additive effect on these subscales: presence 56% (p<0.001), impact: 11% (p<0.001), providence: 48% (p<0.001), goodwill: 57% (p<0.001). This training course has no significant effect on subscales of challenge and reception. In conclusion, in the case of the Faradarmani and Psymentology training courses that focus on correcting worldviews, and the philosophy of human creation, it is anticipated that people’s worldviews regarding these topics, would be corrected after undertaking the training courses, which have been confirmed by statistical results.
