�existential ignorance abounds not only on the individual level but also on the group and national and international levels as well. There is then a need for mind-fasting and spirit-feasting on the social as well as on the individual level. Another book, however, would be required to apply the principles of Christotherapy to the vital areas of social reform and international justice. Such a further application, however, is vital and necessary even for a completely effective application of the principles of Christotherapy on the more individual level� (Christotherapy I, p. 162).
Such healing means in Christotherapeutic terms (cfr. Christotherapy I, pp. 87- 96) that the �gates of hell�� that is fundamentally inauthentic modes of existence - existing on societal level need to be recognized as so and changed for �the gates of heaven� - authentic thinking, acting, living - by masses of people. Christotherapy describes this phenomenon so:
�Today men exist in a �noosphere�, a climate of thought that encompasses the whole world. Through the different media, we are constantly bombarded with �messages� about how to think and desire and feel. Many of these messages are basically inauthentic, and yet often enough they are received and accepted without conscious advertence. The mental atmosphere becomes increasingly polluted and harmful, and can be the source of �diseases� of every kind. Injustice itself is a disease in all of its oppressive forms, racism, domination of the poor by the rich�
Then he points out the direction of getting out of this life-threatening situation:
�Urgently needed is existential diagnosis on the societal, as well as the individual level. Families and nations must reflect together on the values of life-meanings they hold dear, and through prayerful reflection come to understand what is inauthentic in their collective beliefs and assumptions, and then with God�s help move forward in mind-fasting and spirit-feasting� (Ibid. p.95)
