from Jesus:
Let me give you some thoughts
to ponder.
Thought 1
Let us begin with one of the most important statements in the Old Testament:
There is a way
which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death. (Proverbs 14:12)
Ever since the fall, there
has been a dream, a dream that has been building momentum in the mass
consciousness, of finding a mechanical, automatic and guaranteed method
for producing salvation. The broadest definition of salvation is that
it is anything which human beings believe will make them secure, whole,
healthy, immortal or whatever they desire to be but think they cannot
have from within themselves. The essence of this dream is that you can
be saved by some outer, mechanical means without having to change yourself.
This is the way that seemeth right unto a man, meaning the dualistic,
carnal mind.
In terms of healing disease, there is a dream of finding a mechanical
way to heal disease, and it is driving modern medicine, much to the
peril of some of the people exposed to certain aspects of that medicine.
One example being the recent attention around certain products developed
by the big drug companies. My point is that as a spiritual/holistic
healer, it is extremely important to be on guard for the subtle temptations
of this dream of mechanical healing.
The founder of the Reiki method was well aware of this problem, yet
some of his successors have not had this understanding. So there is
a subtle belief that by invoking light from above through a somewhat
mechanical method, one can do no wrong. This simply is not so.
Everything in this world is subject to free will, so there is no way
to guarantee that a viable method cannot be misused. The best example
is that the love-based spiritual teaching I gave 2,000 years ago was
later turned into a fear-based religion that killed people in the name
of Christ.
So there is no guarantee with human beings, and therefore it is always
necessary to use discernment when applying any healing method or spiritual
teaching. If a person does not have such discernment, and especially
if the person believes he or she could do no wrong, it is possible to
make mistakes, even unintentional mistakes.
Thought 2
Developing discernment means becoming aware of the fact that not all
diseases should be healed. I explain that in more detail elsewhere.
If someone believes all diseases should be healed, then that person
is likely to misuse the healing technique, be it Reiki or something
else.
Thought 3
It is also necessary to realize that a disease is far more than a physical
symptom, so true healing does not simply mean to remove the physical
symptom. Most diseases are products of wrong beliefs or karma (that
was produced by wrong beliefs), so until the wrong belief is consciously
replaced, the disease is not truly healed.
It is quite possible to remove the physical symptoms – at least
for a time – without removing the false belief behind it. In fact,
this is what modern medicine is focused on doing through material means.
This is a false healing because it does not further the long-term spiritual
growth of the person. In fact, it enables the person to go on living
without dealing with the imperfect beliefs behind the disease. Yet it
is possible to invoke non-material energy that removes a symptom without
consuming the wrong belief.
In some cases this is lawful because the person deserves an opportunity
to be free of the symptoms in order to change his or her life. And it
is not necessarily the responsibility of the healer whether the person
makes use of this opportunity. Yet there are some cases where a disease
should not be healed until the underlying belief is addressed by the
person. If you are not aware of this, you can unwittingly make a mistake.
Thought 4
Many diseases are caused by karma, and karma is like owing a debt to
life. Imagine that your credit card statement shows that you owe $2,000.
Yet this is simply numbers in a computer, and it would be easy for a
person with access to the system to transfer that debt to the account
of another person. Likewise, it is possible to transfer karma between
people, meaning that a healer can actually take upon himself the karma
of a patient. This can especially happen when the healer fails to be
non-attached to whether the person is healed.
You might think that by doing so, the healer would have the same symptoms
as the patient, but that is not necessarily the case. Say you owe money
on your credit card, and you have not been making the payments. The
creditors are at your door, and in your desperation, you ask a friend
for help. He agrees to have your debt transferred to his account, but
he simply makes the monthly payments and therefore the creditors leave
him alone.
In other words, a healer with greater spiritual attainment than the
patient can take upon himself the patient’s karma without experiencing
immediate symptoms. The healer might transmute that karma without ever
having symptoms, but nevertheless it is God’s will that people
are responsible for their own karma. “For every man shall bear
his own burden” (Galatians 6:5). If you take upon yourself someone
else’s karma, you can prevent the person from learning his or
her lessons in life, and thereby you make karma.
Thought 5
Everything is energy, so karma is simply misqualified energy that vibrates
in the material frequency spectrum. A disease is an energy imbalance,
and the material symptoms can be removed in several ways:
- Invoke spiritual light
to permanently remove the karma/misqualified energy. The person can
generate new misqualified energy, but the original energy is transformed.
- Invoke light of a higher
frequency than material light, but not as high as spiritual light.
As I explain elsewhere,
there are four levels of the material realm, namely physical, emotional,
mental and etheric. It is possible to invoke light from the emotional
and mental realm to remove a physical symptom—this is what I
call psychic energy and psychic “healing.” Yet the misqualified
energy – the energy imbalance – is not transformed; it
is simply shifted away from the physical octave and into the emotional
or mental octave. From there it will inevitably come back to haunt
the person, perhaps in a future lifetime. In fact, it is possible
for people to willfully suppress a disease by forcing the energy into
the emotional or mental realms.
- A spiritual master (embodied
or ascended) vows to carry a portion of the persons karma. This is
always done from the Christ consciousness and therefore lawful.
- A human being –
knowingly or unknowingly – takes upon himself a person’s
karma. This is often done from the duality consciousness, and if so
it is not lawful.
So my point is that you cannot
simply assume that healing physical symptoms is always lawful. You say:
It has been my
understanding that in healings, the Christ self in the healer calls
forth the Christ self in the one to be healed, and that this produces
the healing.
This is only true when the
healer has contact with his or her Christ self AND is non-attached concerning
the outcome of the healing. No healing technique can guarantee that
anyone learning the technique will have this contact or non-attachment.
So to be a true healer, you
need to be on a lifelong path of expanding your oneness with your Christ
self. As a beginner, it is prudent to invoke the presence and vision
of your Christ self and specifically ask that the healing be done according
to the will of God and the perfect vision of Christ—as it is done
in the Rosary
of Infinite Light. It is also very important that a beginning healer
is conscious of the need to be non-attached. This is a principle understood
by all spiritual masters. You do right action, but you remain non-attached
to the fruits of action.
If a person is not healed by a Reiki session, it would be prudent to
talk to the person about the need to uncover the imperfect belief that
caused the disease in the first place, recommending that the person
seeks psychological/spiritual healing. You mention alcoholism, but that
is a malady that springs from imperfect beliefs. And invoking spiritual
light cannot in itself remove such beliefs. That is why Mother Mary’s
rosaries do not only invoke light but also contain affirmations that
help people resolve imperfect beliefs.
My point being that even the light of God will not work against a person’s
free will. Therefore, the real goal of healing should be to resolve
the imperfect beliefs that are the hidden cause behind the visible symptoms.
When you aim for this goal – when you seek first the kingdom of
God – the healing of physical symptoms will follow.
Please be aware that I am not hereby trying to discourage people from
serving as healers. I am simply trying to point out that on planet Earth
there are no free rides. There is always a responsibility to discern,
and one cannot simply assume that any healing method is automatically
safe. Neither can one assume that by taking a short course, one automatically
becomes a true healer. And finally, one should not assume that doing
God’s work can be measured by an earthly standard.
