from Jesus:
I cannot give you an exact
number because it is meaningless to put numbers on this. To understand
why, you need to realize what is happening in any process where a person
has a session with a psychologist or any other type of psychic or spiritual
healer.
There is always an interaction between the client and the healer. So
what happens is that the energy field of the client and the energy field
of the healer begin to interact during the session. The type of interaction
between these two energy fields is very dependent on the contents of
the two fields and how they either magnify or cancel out each other.
What I am saying here is that the outcome of a healing session will
be an individual matter that varies from client to client.
Let us look at the best case scenario. let us imagine that we have a
healer who is able to raise his consciousness and therefore receive
instructions, visions and light either from his Christ self or from
the Ascended Host. Such instructions can be compared to a beam of white
light that shines through the consciousness of the healer. The consciousness
of the healer is like a film strip, and what reaches the conscious mind
of the healer and client is like the images projected on the movie screen.
What happens when a client enters the healer’s energy field is
that the consciousness of the client is overlapping the consciousness
of the healer. In other words, the light from the Ascended Host now
has to shine through two different film strips that are superimposed
upon each other. So we now have the possibility that the combination
of the two film strips will cancel out or distort some of what is coming
from above. Only a healer with a high degree of Christhood can avoid
having his insights limited by the client's (or his own) energy field.
For some clients, the combination of the energy field of the client
and the field of the healer might still give a constructive session
that does not substantially cancel out or distort the light. Yet in
other cases the combination of the two energy fields might indeed cancel
out or greatly distort the light coming from above.
Do you see why it is impossible to set a general measure for the effectiveness
of a spiritual or psychological healer? There are simply too many variables,
depending on the energy field of both client and healer and how they
interact with each other. Yet it should be obvious that the more pure
the consciousness of the healer, the more pure the impulses that can
be received from above. Therefore, it is extremely important to look
for a healer who has followed the old admonishment, “Physician,
heal thyself.”
Unfortunately, the consciousness of the healer will determine the type
of people who are attracted to that particular healer. In other words,
if the healer has certain unresolved elements in the psychology, he
or she will often attract clients who have the same unresolved elements.
The effect is that both the healer and the client are often blinded
by their unresolved substance and therefore cannot clearly receive the
instructions or the healing coming from above. What can actually happen
is that a client heals several other aspects of his psychology without
touching the issue that is unresolved in both client and healer. The
client might indeed leave with a feeling that he has accomplished major
work, yet he has not even touched upon the main issue.
Now let us look at a less than ideal scenario. We now have a healer
who is not able to raise his consciousness to the level of the Christ
self, or who is not able to do this consistently. Therefore, the healer
does not consistently receive instructions from above. In some cases
this does not have a detrimental effect on the client, it simply means
that the client is not healed.
However, the problem comes in for healers who have set themselves up
as having certain psychic or spiritual abilities. Such healers can easily
become idolized by their clients, and the healer might fall prey to
this idolatry and begin to feel that he has to deliver for every client.
This ambition to always deliver an extraordinary experience or insight
will inevitably cause the healer to tune in to forces that are not of
the Ascended Host.
It is very easy for such healers to tune in to psychic forces at lower
levels. Such forces are quite capable of giving the healer wonderful
visions and insights that might seem profound and exciting to a client
who has not yet developed sufficient discernment. Yet in reality, such
insights might contain subtle errors that prevent the spiritual growth
of the client.
In my discourse on channeling
I explain that some channelers tune in to forces that are not malevolent
spirits but simply not as developed as the Ascended Host. Many psychic
healers do tune in to such forces, and in some cases they get instructions
that are helpful. Yet the common theme for these types of healings is
that while they might help the client resolve certain issues, they will
not help the client become self-sufficient and able to walk the spiritual
path on his own.
This has never been the methodology used by the Ascended Host. Our goal
is always to make the student self-sufficient and independent of an
outer guru, so that the student can walk the path in the light of his
inner guru of the Christ self, and therefore quickly come to sit under
his own vine and fig tree of the I AM Presence.
The dynamic here is simple. It is always difficult for a client to rise
above the level of the healer, and it is difficult for a student to
rise above the consciousness of the outer guru. If the healer is not
able to consistently rise to the level of the Christ self, then how
can the healer help the client become self-sufficient and walk the path
on his own? In many cases, the healer does not have the goal of making
the client self-sufficient, because the healer wants the client to come
back, either for the sake of feeling important or for the sake of making
money. This then is the problem you see with many psychic or spiritual
healers, namely that they gather a clientele who become co-dependent
upon the healer.
It is quite possible that such clients for a time could actually receive
genuine healing. Yet there comes a point when the client is meant to
walk on his own. If the client is not strong enough to do this, and
if the healer is not developed enough to help the client do this, then
co-dependency will be the inevitable result. This can actually slow
down or stop the client's spiritual progress rather than helping the
person’s spiritual progress.
This is not what I desire to see happen to anyone, and that is why I
consistently, in all of the teachings given on this website, stress
the importance of attunement with your Christ self and of never allowing
any outer source to stand between you and your Christ self.
It is difficult to give specific
advice for selecting a healer, because the abilities of healers vary
so much from individual to individual. In general, I recommend that
you avoid healers who call themselves psychic, because they often tune
in to lower forces. I recommend a person with a professional background,
for example a psychologist who is using New Age or spiritual methods.
If you cannot find that, seek a person who is certified by some recognized
organization or who has a professional appearance and attitude.
When considering a spiritual healer, ask if he or she uses spiritual
protection against lower forces. If the healer does not recognize the
existence of lower forces or seems indifferent to them, avoid that healer.
Avoid people who think all psychic or spiritual phenomena are benign.
Before going to a healer, use the spiritual tools on this website, as
described elsewhere.
Be aware of any tendency
for the healer to give readings or insights that sound good but contain
little substance. Be aware of a tendency to build your pride or appeal
to vanity or a sense of being overly important. It is acceptable for
a healer to help you build self-esteem, but there is a fine line between
self-esteem and pride.
Always seek input from your Christ self, and carefully evaluate how
your sessions with a healer progress. Be especially alert to any subtle
movement towards co-dependence, either on your part or coming from the
healer. If you become aware of this, or if you become aware that the
healer is unbalanced or has unresolved issues, you might need to switch
to a different healer.
