The Smoking Gun

Up until now, you've had to take my word for it that ISHI has been founded and operated by the Spiritual Rights Foundation. I and several others have already made the connection between the Spiritual Rights Foundation and its founder William (Bill) Duby with cultic behavior.

But now, below, is the smoking gun: articles excerpted from the Spiritual Rights Foundation's own newspaper site (The American Spirit).

Clicking on the article's titles will take you to the original post.

A Guided Tour Through ISHI

The International Spiritual Hypnotherapy Institute
By Deborah Livingston, CI, CHT

People are often surprised when they walk up the front steps to the International Spiritual Hypnotherapy Institute (ISHI), located in Berkeley, California. The word 'Institute' often conjures up images of a big stone building, perhaps cold and uninviting. What they encounter instead is the warmth and charm of a large Berkeley Victorian house.

ISHI was founded by Rev. William Duby, who is also the founder of the Spiritual Rights Foundation Inc., Academy For Psychic Studies, which shares the same site as ISHI. In fact, it is two schools under one roof.

While SRF just celebrated its 16th year anniversary in April, ISHI is a newer addition. However, within its first year of operation, Angela Silva and Debi Livingston, both Certified Instructors for the National Guild of Hypnotists, have graduated over 40 Certified Hypnotherapists, and many, many individuals have been introduced to the healing art and science of Hypnotherapy.

ISHI, Is The Place To Be

By William Duby


I have opened an international school for the learning of the workings of hypnosis. The acronym ISHI stands for the International Spiritual Hypnotherapy Institute.

As you should with anything, I strongly suggest that you do some research into this organization before you get too involved with it. If you like the idea of taking hypnosis training from an outfit that is affiliated with one that is apparently cultic, then please follow through.

Otherwise, you might want to dig a little deeper.
