Why are we here?

So:
Why are we here?
Who am I?
What is my life’s purpose?
I found one therapist offering these services, and it was her website that provided some plausible answers:
We are here to be exploited by charlatans.
We are considered to be gullible morons.
Our purpose in life is to support quacks.
The costs for the sessions range from 90 to 795 Euros!
€795 to solve the deepest mysteries of life that have baffled scientists and philosophers for thousands of years? That sounds an absolute bargain to me – where do I sign?
This is a very interesting organisation.
Firstly the Director of Education, Paul Aurand, has a very informative youtube channel which includes a remarkable video all about awakening the wise woman within, the return of the divine feminine, awakening the goddess within, yada yada. I am familiar with this kind of thing and it does not bode well for vulnerable people who may become involved with this organisation.

Mr Aurand’s website can be perused via this archived link, it would be comedy gold were it not for the very serious safeguarding concerns.

Unsurpisingly for this kind of set up, Aurand promotes “body wisdom” [the belief that past memories, including of abuse, are forgotten / repressed and held in the body and can be remembered via body / energy therapy and / or hypnosis]. The risks of false memories, false accusations of abuse and family alienation are signficant.

Aurand also works at the Open Centre in New York, an organisation worthy of scrutiny, as is its UK counterpart.
Secondly, I would like to draw the attention of readers to a psychiatrist who has drunken deeply from the foetid cup of woo woo and is closely associated with this organiation and who works as a past life therapist.
Dear readers I present to you Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Marcel Westerlund.
Westerlund’s remarkable CV can be viewed via this archived link; https://archive.ph/MX8wt
His websites are also worthy of scrutiny

I find Westerlund’s activities to be deeply concerning considering his position of authority. Sadly there are many psychiatrists like him.
