Not at all and someone with all of your resourceful research abilities should know better. Shame on you. This is an excerpt from a Col . Monaco about how it works. Very different than eastern types...
How It Works

Imagine that you have gone to the movie theater and we are sitting together. As the movie begins, you get caught up in the action and, before you know it, you’re living the movie. Lost in the imagery of the movie, you feel the action and react to the excitement of a kiss, a chase, or a fall.

If I hit your arm and you react to me, it breaks the imagery of the movie and you remember that you’re in the theater. Not only is the imagery of the movie broken, so is the emotional bond that held you. The power of the imagery fades away into nothing.

The Be Still & Know exercise works on the same principle. Simply put, it breaks the endless loop of thought sustained by emotional energy. It sets you free from re imagining the trauma again.

Your thoughts rage into a battle, keeping you confused, lost and emotionally charged, and worse yet, causing you to seek escapes (to feel better, e.g., drugs, alcohol, sex, outbursts).

Being aware is effortless. There is nothing to study, nothing to learn. Just be still, aware, and the reoccurring images with their assorted pains wither away.

All you have to do is sit in a straight-backed chair and listen to the exercise. The narrator, Roy Masters, walks you through it.

(As you sit, you’ll become aware of your hand and it’ll tingle just a bit until a thought pulls you away and the tingling stops. It’s a mini-battlefield between being in the Movie [caught up] or the Audience [aware].)

Day-by-day this simple Exercise breaks the shackles of your mind, and you’re no longer reliving the past. As you see it, and watch it, the thought will simply fade away.

Mr. Masters’ exercise delivers results. It is not an escape just to make you feel better. It is designed to set you free; empowered.

Dr. George Hayter, M.D., Psychiatrist and Diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, says the Exercise “…is the only program of self-therapy which achieves the desired end-state of therapy; to lessen the dependence on the therapist – the goal is self-awareness.” Also, he says, “It’s the only approach that I have ever seen in the whole field of psychology which allows you to become independent, competent and effective.”

(excerpt from a letter from Col. Anthony Monaco)

Must be those cold shivers, while his hypnotic voice is that of the crafty of the master psychologist from Hell, “as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty..” (2Cor. 11:3)

“...while I listened to him, I marveled at how effectively he is able to utilize speech. He bludgeons forth with a barrage of words that is staggering in its intensity. Syllable after syllable comes stabbing at you, trying to pierce whatever armor you have put up. Finally you either flee in utter confusion, despising this iconoclast, or you stumble away completely bewildered because you have no “cells of recognition” left, or, as many have done and are doing, you stay and listen.”

And like Joe Smith and others, while he preys on Christians, he rejects the church (his competition) and exalts himself. About 40 years ago he boasted,

“Anyone who has a remedy, a pill or technique to gain health and sanity,” he emphasized, “—all the problem solvers—will be out of business when my message reaches the general public.”

“All these people [ministers, etc.] can possibly accomplish is to guide their patients farther and farther away from themselves instead of leading them to themselves—where they have fallen from—so that the healing will take place by the healing of the inner nature.” (from an infomerical at www.fhu.com/articles/healers_book1.html)

But rather than the church not prevailing against the gates of hell, which the Lord placed under the care of overseers which Masters deplores, (Acts 20:28) it is men like Masters that can led men to Hell.
