Josef Zezulka

Josef Zezulka (30 March 1912 – 13 December 1992) was a Czech philosopher, healer and the founder of the discipline of biotronics. He wrote many philosophical works, best known of which is BYTÍ - EXISTENCE - A Philosophy for Life, which encompasses topics such as the birth of space and its life, evolution of a being, karma, vegetarianism and life energetics.
Biography
Zezulka was born in Brno on 30 March 1912, but lived in Prague for his whole life. He ran a sweet shop before the Second World War. During the war he was involved in the Western resistance, and after the 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état his sweet shop was confiscated. He worked as an accountant in the National Museum and later, as a result of further persecution, as a museum guard.
During the 1960s, Zezulka developed the theory of what he called "Biotronics," an esoteric healing method involving a team of two healers which he called a "sanator" and a "magnetiser." According to Zezulka:
A sanator will establish a healing process and will instruct a magnetiser, who will further replenish the forces. The sanator will see the patient from time to time to add the missing necessary forces and balance out their proportion. The relationship will be similar to that between a senior consultant and a doctor on duty. At the same time, magnetisers may be led to higher levels, to perfect themselves or to develop further to the level of a sanator. Bioenergy therapy is an independent field which provides healthcare with new opportunities for fighting certain illnesses. Similar to medicines and spa treatments, a doctor may also indicate biotronic interventions and combine them suitably with their procedures.
In 1968, with the assistance of the Czechoslovak Minister of Health, Vlček, biotronics came close to being incorporated into the national healthcare system, but was interrupted by the August 1968 occupation by the Warsaw Pact allied forces. In 1982 Josef Zezulka conducted research into biotronics treatment in the Vimperk hospital, managed by the Psychoenergetic Laboratory of Professor Kahuda. Josef Zezulka practised his methods mainly in his own flat. He practised healing for more than 40 years.
His lectures on the philosophy of existence were not favoured by the communist authorities, and took place mostly in private flats. One exception was a speech he gave at the International Congress on Psychotronic Research held in Prague in 1973. His essays were also published in western countries within various publications. His philosophical-religious books were published only after 1989. He died in 1992.
