Spiritologie FAQ
Isn’t Spiritology the perfect word for what you are doing?
A word like spiritology should be reserved for a science of the spirit in general, not for a particular approach or set of methods. Just as psychology in general still means the study of the soul.
Why did you drop the the name Spiritologie?
This has several reasons the more important one is that we dropped the doctrine. “Spiritologie: the doctrine of the origin, the infinite potential and the full rehabilitation of the spiritual being”. This doctrine, elaborated in the book titled Spiritologie, contained Andreas Buttler’s speculations on the origin of the spirit and the pretense of making individuals into gods. It should be noted that Andreas Buttler himself publicly stated in 2013 that he no longer believed in his creation and did not want Spiritologie to be further disseminated.
What do you think was wrong with Spiritologie?
Not so much, most of us were quite happy with the practical application. The imagination concept processing technique was the mainstay which we still use it today. It was only after the guru gave up that we started to take a critical look at the theoretical writings of Spiritologie.
An annotated version of the book Spiritologie, was put together in December 2013 and pinpointed some of the errors, for example the idea that holding the concept of a possible future immediately turns it into reality. In December 2015 we published ‘The Self-Explorer’s Handbook’ which places the Universal Imagination Technique in a much broader philosophical and psychological context.
Who was he really, this Andreas Buttler?
Andreas Buttler, a German actor and musician, was the author of the book Spiritologie who believed he was the re-incarnation of L. Ron Hubbard and subsequently became the founder of a movement called Spiritologie with the aim to restore and simplify Scientology.
Was it true that Spiritologie was not Scientology as Andreas Buttler claimed?
Yes and no. Yes, because of its outspoken criticism against practices of the church of Scientology and no, because its essence consisted of practices partly borrowed from and based on the Scientology philosophy, this was never really denied.
What actually happened to Andreas Buttler?
Andreas Buttler formally withdrew from any commitments in relation to Spiritologie for personal reasons, which out of respect for his privacy we will not discuss.
