The hotel industry in Basel had something to be happy about. Organizer Younity, which describes itself as a “grown-up startup”, has announced that this will be the largest meditation seminar ever. With the “mission of helping people live fulfilling, successful and peaceful lives.” Last weekend, 8,100 listeners from 57 countries attended St. Petersburg in Basel for the two-day event. He flocked to Jakobshalle. It was a high-income, educated audience that wanted to see Joe Dispenza live; in the front row was German television presenter Katja Burkard.
It is difficult to calm the mind when everyone is stressed and overworked. This is why meditation appeals to people. Joe Dispenza skillfully exploits a gap in the market. The 61-year-old artist combines thousand-year-old Far Eastern wisdom with science.
In preliminary lectures, he lectured for hours on stage about the effect of meditation on the brain, supported by findings from neuroscience. This is not new. There are many studies on this subject. This is smart because the American gets a free good and sells it at a high price. Very expensive.
5 to 6 million sales
A ticket that sees the speaker directly costs 1,000 francs. You paid 500 francs for the seat next to you. This brought 5 to 6 million francs into Dispenza’s coffers. There are also merchandise sales.
It can be said that he and the organizers deserve it. A well-oiled money machine; It is far from the philosophy of the original teachers, the Zen masters, of imparting this knowledge for free. Moreover, it is very far from science. Studies are cited without specifying the source. Which University? Which researcher? It’s not important. Names such as Newton, Einstein and Heisenberg are frequently used. For example, to confirm Dispenza’s thesis that every person can be the creator of his own future, since everyone can influence the quantum field. It is unlikely that physicists can say this.
Joe Dispenza, MD, a trained chiropractor (without a PhD), introduces himself as a researcher in epigenics, quantum physics, and neuroscience. He does not want to answer questions about his personality, origins or financial situation, and requests for an interview are ignored by his management.
What happens during meditation? A great Zen master was once asked this. “Nothing,” he replied. It’s different from Dispenza. He invited six of his “advanced students,” as he called them, to the stage. The audience could only marvel at how the students began to twitch so violently that they thought they were having a severe spastic seizure. This is what advanced meditation looks like?
Borderline promises of recovery
Promises of recovery were also at their limit. Dispenza described numerous cases where spontaneous healing occurred through meditation. Blind people regained their sight, terminal cancer patients were cured, and people in wheelchairs were able to walk again. Proof of this? Medical documents, sources? He owed it to this.
There were also many patients at the event. Many people were in wheelchairs. They were probably all hopeful. Will sick people who are not healed with the help of meditation now blame themselves, not the disease? The pharmaceutical industry, which is also headquartered in Basel, should definitely not make such statements. Keyword: Medical Advertising Act. Homeopathy and spagyrs are obliged to describe almost all effects in the subjunctive mood.
After the event, more questions than answers remained. As previously announced, Joe Dispenza will perform again in Basel in May. Logical. The money machine will continue to be oiled as long as it has traction.
