Spiritual
Healing
Much
confusion arises out of the association of healing with religion and and
the spiritual. Many people do not understand the difference.
By
definition "Spirit" means, 1. The vital principle or
animating force within living beings, Incorporeal consciousness. There
about twelve more elaboration's mostly to do with various religious
implications.
By
definition "Religion" means, 1. Belief in and reverence
for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of
the universe, 2. A set of beliefs, values and practices based on the
teachings of a spiritual leader.
Based
on these common interpretations of how things 'ARE', many paradoxes are
created. The resultant effect is confusion and un-wellness. The Truth as
we are beginning to understand it is this: Every Thing in the universe
is Energy and Consciousness. How anyone feels about that Fact cannot
change it. The purpose of All religions is the recognition that humans
have a part of themselves that is not physical and there is a need to
explore and experience this aspect of themselves. Part of the intent is
to discovery ones purpose and to live in the best way possible, part of
that goal also includes the attainment of Truth and Spiritual Wellness.
Perhaps
the most brilliant early pioneers in modern psychiatry was William
James, of the late 1800's. Dr. James was about hundred years ahead of
his time. This world class lecturer and noted authority ruffled more
than a few feathers when he revealed that ," In our western
civilisation, the cause of our greatest psychological problems is
Religion". No wonder that even today most people, including
psychiatrists have never heard of him.
God according to many while perceived as the creator and builder of the
universe and the ultimate controller of all things is also seen as being
something very distant. The single conscious revelation by Christ and
other Masters was the realisation that this is not the case. The Knowing
that came into full realisation was the understanding that everyone and
everything was a part of the whole. As this became an Awareness also
came experiencing the very essence of God or Creator and that it was
what we refer to as Love. In ordinary human terms and understanding of
this Love was the enormity of it. For those who have never had this
experience, try to imagine the time when you have felt the highest Love
you have ever experienced magnified millions of times, it probably will
not even come close. Understanding the divinity in all things and the
interconnected consciousness is the path to all healing and wellness.
The
most beautiful interpretation of how everything 'IS' can be found in the
Native American tradition. "Everything in the universe is Spirit,
each thing in it is of the same Spirit and it is all Connected."
This is exactly what we are beginning to understand in science and
quantum physics. The two things that are driving the scientists mad is
the fact that all these things operate across time, space and dimensions
they do not yet understand, and the ability of things to operate on
interdimensional and multidimensional levels.
Everything
we think or feel affects us and others. Realise every feeling such as
anger, fear, hate etc., are mind generated emotions and should be
eliminated. Start concentrating only on the Spiritual emotions of Love,
Compassion and Purity of Intent and purpose. In every situation where
"I" and "ME" become the central thought and
focus, realise this as the mind driven Ego blocking the True Spirit of
yourself and everything in the universe. No matter what you think about
anything, how does it feel in your Heart, if it is not coming from Love
let it go.
In this
modern material world filled with cynicism and disbelief, Begin To
Know This Universe Is Full Of Real Mystery And Magic beyond your
wildest imagination. All that is required is that we do all things with
compassion, good intent and out of unconditional Love. These few steps
sound very simplistic and trite yet contained within in their simplicity
lie the keys to unlocking the universe and to discovering the Real
Reality.
The
bottom line for many concerning their Health and Wellbeing in their
present existence is much affected by two factions, Doctors and
Ministers. Doctors are trained as mechanics who work on the physical
mechanism. They are in the Business of Treatment, they are Not Trained
in the "Art of Healing". Most do not even understand the most
rudimentary concepts of Healing. Most do not relise how they can
produce damage and even induce death
sentences on their patients. There
is little difference in the effects produced by an intentional damaging
curse or a prayer prayed improperly, bad advice or simply some random
negative thought. Ministers are trained in traditional theosophical
dogmatic perceptions specific to the cultural religious views they
ascribe to. Many generally have little concept about True Spirituality
or how the universe really operates. As a consequence they convey
misOrdering Info, half truths, superstitions and fears along with a
multitude of associated damaging Ordering Info into a person's
consciousness. The result of which is Confusion and Paradox. The
suggestion regarding a strictly religious approach would be to make a
serious effort to study each and every one of them thoroughly and in
depth. The result will be absolutely amazing when one discovers each and
everyone of them are all talking about the Same Thing, only from their
own unique perspective. Real enlightenment develops as the understanding
for each reveals they are only methods and techniques. Considering what
the public is receiving from so many sources, Bad Ordering Info is Bad
Ordering Info and Incorrect Ordering Info is still Incorrect Ordering Info, no
matter how well intentioned.
A more
familiar practical comparative example could be auto mechanics. There
are many people who work on cars, some are totally incompetent, some are
fairly good, some are quite good but, only a very small percentage are
extremely proficient. Virtually no mechanic exists who is an expert in
every aspect of repair, maintenance, design, engineering or manufacture
of each and every component associated with cars. The complexity
involved in any field today requires many years of study to become
competent and proficient in only one single aspect of any trade or
profession. This fact is the basis for people becoming specialised, the
inherent problem with specialisation is in most cases the specialist
loses sight of the whole system. Something to consider is that what is
being used as workers, People. People have shortcomings and flaws, after
all they are only human. Many are working at jobs they really don't care
about, or they are just in it for the money. On the other hand many
cannot really dedicate themselves o their work because they are too
concerned with having to make a living.
The main
problem is well illustrated by this example. Almost everyone Knows
mechanics are Human, yet most regard doctors and ministers as Gods,
beyond question and reproach, therein lies much of the problem. People
generally argue every aspect of any car repair bill, yet, almost totally
accept everything for fact from these ultimate authorities concerning
their Bodies, Minds and Spirits.
The
fix for many of these deficiencies would be enabling everyone to be
involved in a profession they really Love as the only consideration.
This should especially apply to those who have influences of extreme
consequences on others. The teaching of all people of what the Truth is
and how all of us are Healers could very easily become a reality. As we
are now approaching the threshold of real understanding and knowledge
our modern communications assure the end of darkness.
