Geschiedenis

“Love is a law that operates in such a way, that you and I cannot dictate to it, we can only blend with it.“

Bob Moore

ISSP came to life through an international collaboration of teachers in healing, spirituality, meditation and inner growth.

The International School of Spiritual Psychology was founded to promote high quality education and professional practice in the fields of healing, meditation and inner growth.

In the Netherlands, the training is certified by the CPION, which assesses and registers postgraduate education. ISSP is also registered with the CRKBO.

The origins of ISSP are found in the teachings of the late Robert (Bob) Moore. Born in Ireland and originally a cleric, Bob devoted his life to research and teaching the areas of meditation and spiritual healing in Denmark.

Bob Moore had a highly developed ability to perceive, which means he could tell exactly how energy was flowing or stagnating in a person. The theme of human energies is an extensive subject, and Bob Moore developed a certain mix of theory and practice that he passed on to his students. His method involved triggering a development process in them that put them deeply in contact with their own selves, their inhibitions, and especially with their qualities.

Part of the teaching consists of exercises in empathy and intuition. During the course of this, most people discover that having access to more than five senses is possible not only for the select few, but that we all carry these abilities within ourselves.

Bob Moore was particularly keen to forge a link between traditional medicine and the science of healing in his teaching; and the large number of doctors and people with a medical background appears to be proof that his attempts are successful. For over 40 years, he researched the anatomy, physiology and psychology of the subtle energy body (including chakras, auras, meridians); and worked with various forms of meditation, healing and consciousness development. This combination has led to a profound and valuable teaching.

Bart ten Berge attended over 20 years of training with Bob Moore. This, he integrated with his training as a medical and homeopathic doctor and clinical psychologist in order to evolve the seven year training in healing and inner growth, known as the Healing Principle Education. Graduates from this training with Bart ten Berge became in time, teachers of the Healing Principle education and came together to seek formal recognition of the education through licensing authorities in the Netherlands, giving it the new name: Spiritual Psychology.

In 2012, ISSP won formal international accreditation under the name of The International School of Spiritual Psychology.
The certified education is presently offered at various venues around Holland, and also continues to be taught by Bart ten Berge and his partner Georgi Y. Johnson in the UK, Israel and the US.
