These rules apply to all activities in accordance with the Super* project. These rules can also be freely used in all other spiritual aid work (e.g., by referring to these rules in one's own activities or on their website).

General principles in aid work according to the Super* project:

  1. Confidentiality: Ensure that all discussions are confidential. The person being helped should feel that they can speak openly and honestly about their issues without fear of information spreading.
  2. Empathy and Respect: Be empathetic and respectful towards the feelings and experiences of the person being helped. Listen actively and understand, even if you cannot fully relate to their experiences.
  3. Boundaries and Professionalism: Maintain your own boundaries in aid work and do not let your own emotions overly influence the situation. Seek help from other professionals if necessary.
  4. Positive Atmosphere: Create an environment where the person being helped feels safe and accepted. A positive and encouraging atmosphere can help promote healing and growth.
  5. Listening and Presence: Be present in conversations and focus on listening attentively. Allow the person being helped to speak and express their feelings without interruptions.
  6. Solution-Focused: Aim to find solutions and ways to address the challenges faced by the person being helped. Help them see alternative ways to handle situations.
  7. Non-Judgmental: Avoid criticizing or judging the person being helped for their actions or feelings. Accept them as they are.
  8. Encouragement and Strengths Emphasis: Encourage and support the person being helped to recognize their own strengths and resources. This can help them find the strength to cope, heal, and grow.
  9. Realistic Expectations: Be realistic about the person's situation and potential changes. Do not promise miracles, but help them set realistic goals.
  10. Completion and Continuity: Ensure that the person being helped receives the necessary support even after the aid work has ended. If needed, guide them to continue with a professional.

These are general principles for aid work according to the Super* project and all spiritual aid work, but each situation may require its own discretion and individual approach. Professionally trained therapists and helpers can provide additional guidance and support for aid work.


Rules for Super* Courses (the rules are in effect during the Course)

1. General matters related to Courses:

  • Ensure that everyone participates in the Courses as individuals and of their own free will.
  • Participants of intensive courses should be contacted in advance.

a. Peer interaction (cf. group therapy rules)

  • Peer relationships are always equal.
  • A peer relationship begins upon arriving at the course and ends upon leaving the course.
  • Touching always requires permission (because traumas, misinterpretations, etc.).
  • Confidentiality: Matters shared during the courses are confidential (except for legally mandated special cases and reporting obligations: Child Welfare Act §25, Criminal Code Chapter 15 §10, cf. also Church Act Chapter 5 §2).
  • Do not teach or advise others; instead, share your own experiences (speak in the first person, do not generalize to "we").
  • Accept others as they are, without judgment.
  • Listen to others, giving everyone the opportunity to share.
  • Do not interrupt others or lead discussions off-topic.

  • Avoid offending others.

  • If necessary, request breaks, meditate, rest, and take care of your well-being.
  • Respect silent moments, as they open up answers from within.

b. No sexual relationships between group members/course participants

  • In the group/courses, participants are like children, in a sensitive state, and thus sexuality can be extremely harmful.
  • Sexuality can also be a means of manipulation or a psychological defense mechanism.
  • Spouses or romantic partners are not recommended to participate in the same course.
  • Consider modest clothing and proper manners.

c. No private meetings between peers to prevent the formation of cliques (the Course is the common group)

  • Do not gossip or talk behind others' backs (e.g., discussing someone's process without them being present or without their permission).
  • Peers are obligated to report manipulation and scheming to the Course leader if it occurs.
  • If peers interact with each other, keep the focus on Course matters (e.g., meals, sauna, evening gatherings).
  • Issues that arise in private interactions should also be discussed in the group (the same bubble remains intact).

d. Sobriety

  • Do not tempt others into using substances.
  • Smoking should be kept to a minimum and is only allowed in designated areas.
  • During interactions, do not use any consciousness-altering substances (e.g., 72-hour sanctification rule).

e. Mental health issues, threats of violence, other problem situations, and rule violations during Courses

Always report the following issues to the Course leader:

  • Bullying and hate speech (if necessary, also report to authorities - see the list below)
  • Crimes (assault, defamation, dissemination of private information, property crimes, sexual harassment, etc.)
  • The law also mandates reporting severe crimes or the intention to commit them (see Criminal Code Chapter 15 §10)
  • Child protection issues (see Child Welfare Act §25)
  • Situations requiring immediate treatment due to substance use
  • Threats of self-harm or other serious mental health issues (call 112)

f. No giving, taking, or lending money between group members/course participants


Rules Governing the Relationship Between the Helper and the Person Being Helped

The relationship between the helper and the person being helped is governed by these rules for the entire duration of the relationship. However, confidentiality obligations remain in place even after the relationship ends.

a. Interaction Between the Helper and the Person Being Helped

  • The relationship between the helper and the person being helped is always unequal (cf. parent/child, teacher/student, coach/coached, healer/healed, etc.).
  • The helper cannot be a friend or spouse of the person being helped.
  • The person being helped must enter the helping relationship at their own risk.
  • Super* rules bind the helper and define the boundaries of interaction from their side.
  • The helping relationship should have a clear beginning, treatment phase, and end (if necessary, continue the relationship by agreeing on it again; do not create dependency).
  • Touching always requires permission (because of traumas, misinterpretations, etc.).
  • Communication should be agreed upon, specifying how and when to be in contact (phone, email, meetings, meeting times).
  • The helper must commit to going over these Rules and Super* Basic Assumptions with those being helped (at least refer to the rules and inform where to find more details, e.g., a link to the rules).
  • Trust: Do not break the law, share sensitive information without permission, or use names or other personal data without consent (the Super* project follows GDPR principles for handling personal data).
  • Do not lie or hide things (but still maintain privacy and situational awareness).
  • Do not steal (physical things or others' ideas).
  • Do not pursue anything that belongs to another.
  • Do not scheme or gossip behind others' backs.
  • Do not prevent others from doing their part.

b. No sexual relationship between the helper and the person being helped

  • Sexuality can harm the processing of trauma or sensitive childhood stages.
  • The person being helped may either develop a crush or demonize the helper as a defense mechanism (transference; negative projection; seeing the helper as a "savior or devil", "mother's or father's love or abuse", "former spouse", etc.)
  • A sexual relationship with the person being helped is an abuse of authority.
  • Sexual manipulation (invalidating, nullifying, revenge).
  • Using sex as a means to test trust (if sex occurs, the soul no longer feels the relationship is safe, even if the ego might feel it is).
  • If the helper develops a crush, they should withdraw from the interaction (the person being helped will be assigned a new helper).
  • If the person being helped develops a crush, the helper should either be changed, or the issue should be discussed with two helpers and the person being helped.

c. Substances have no place in the relationship between the helper and the person being helped

  • Do not use any mind-altering substances during interactions (e.g., guiding towards the 72-hour sanctification rule).
  • Do not tempt others into using substances.
  • Do not misuse your position of authority regarding substances.

d. Approach to Mental Health Issues

  • Determine if the interaction partner has mental health issues (listen to instructions and warnings).
  • Consider what helps and what might potentially harm the person being helped (e.g., group therapy, hypnosis, etc. is not suitable for everyone at all times; monitor dual consciousness and the window of tolerance).
  • If necessary, discuss with the person being helped and their doctor, assistant, guardian, or caretaker.
  • If psychosis or another mental illness occurs:
    • If necessary, report to authorities (see separate list).
    • If necessary, take a timeout or end the relationship.
    • If unsure how to proceed, consult with other helpers.

e. No giving, taking, or lending money
