About the Author
Thomas Hora was born on January 25, 1914 in Northern Hungary. He was educated in Budapest and Prague, receiving medical degrees from Royal Hungarian University, Budapest in 1942 and from Charles University, Carlsbad, Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1945. He was trained in psychiatry at Budapest General Hospital and Carlsbad City Hospital in Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia. Thomas Hora received his psychoanalytic training at the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health in New York City. However, Dr. Hora was inspired to look beyond the conventional medical practices he had earlier embraced, in order to explore alternative solutions to the pain and suffering experienced in the human condition. Dr. Hora fully engaged in a spiritual quest that led to the birth of Metapsychiatry in 1977. By 1967, Dr. Hora had transcended the practice of traditional methods of psychiatry, having come to see that there can be no healing without God. In his own words: “All problems are psychological, and all solutions are spiritual.” Essentially, he became a “physician of the soul,” increasingly interested in guiding individuals to a spiritually centered and abundant life through which wholeness could be realized. Withdrawing from participation in professional societies, he focused all of his time and attention on responding to those who came to him with their suffering. Thomas Hora described Metapsychiatry in the following way: “... We have built a new road which is neither religious, nor materially scientific, nor political. We have come to understand it as an epistemological method of truth realization. Metapsychiatry came into the world to put soul into psychiatry and to breathe the life of Spirit into the ‘valley of dry bones.'” Dr. Hora was actively engaged in his work as a spiritual guide and was teaching classes until shortly before his passing on October 30, 1995. Dr. Hora’s private counseling sessions and spiritual classes were infused with inspiring wisdom, extraordinary clarity, compassion and laughter. It was Thomas Hora’s sincere hope that what he learned about the real nature of our difficulties and problems, and what constitutes healing and wholeness, would be a blessing to the lives of those who are receptive.
