 Dott. Montecucco Federica TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I am a doctor in Medicine and surgery - I have been working, in 1971-73, as scientifical contributor in Foist and Fast, two associations for the development of techniques and science - the work I have done in that association have received a scientifical recognition as the best multidisciplinary european work for the year 1971, in Mainz (Germany). In the year 71-72 I co-operated with Prof. B. Bara at the Inst. of Psycology of Medicine of Milano and Como, in the researches on artificial intelligence and problem solving. In 1978 I come in touch with the Spiritual Master Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh by reading few of his books, and his knowledge was so unique and specific in the field of medicine and psicology that was deeply affect my work and my researches. In 1979 I wrote my doctorate thesis on Psicosomatic medicine and its correlation with oriental tecnics oi meditation - Inst. of Psicol of Medicine and Surgery University of Study of Milano. I can state that Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is not only an internationally recognised spiritual master, but that his knowledge, in the particular field of medicine and psicology, is really exceptional and his understanding of the inner mechanisms of the body-mind and soul, and his way to consider love, totality and different tecniques of meditation as therapy can really help the world, particularly in this critical moment. I have been in contact by reading the books or personally in many international meetings with almost all the professors working in this field but no-one has such a deep understanding as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has! Sincerely yours, |
