Challenges of an Intermissivist in the Arab World (English)

The scientific paper “Challenges of an Intermissivist in the Arab World”, authored by Mohammed Alamassi, was published in the journal Proexology – Technical-Scientific Publication of Existential Programming, Volume 10, Issue 2, in 2025. The study examines the cultural, social, educational, and psychological challenges faced by individuals described within the Conscientiology paradigm as intermissivists—those believed to have prepared an existential life program (proexis) prior to birth—when living and operating within Arab societies. The paper analyzes how dominant religious paradigms, collectivist social structures, and conservative cultural expectations can create resistance to multidimensional models of consciousness, while educational systems based primarily on memorization and limited exposure to unconventional knowledge can restrict awareness of conscientiological concepts. It also explores psychological impacts such as fear of rejection, cognitive dissonance, and the Foreigner Syndrome, which may lead to internal conflict and social isolation. In response, the study proposes adaptive strategies including developing intellectual independence, building supportive networks, culturally adapting communication methods, applying evolutionary tasks discreetly, and strengthening psychological resilience. The article contributes to the field of Proexology by contextualizing existential-program theory within a specific cultural environment while offering practical strategies for individuals navigating restrictive sociocultural conditions.
