“Healing—A Mystical Perspective”

There are many who present themselves as healers, as well as many methods of treatment, from the most primitive to what is described as the science of today. Everything has its place and time in the Universe—the Universe in Mystical Reality being the thought process of Universal Consciousness or God. And, if everything indeed does have its place and time in human experience—including healing—then in the human expression or practice of healing there is no “one size fits all” manner of treatment or one kind of healer above all others.

From a mystical perspective, healing and healers are viewed from what, in fact, is really taking place. By way of example, consider Jesus, who at least appeared to perform miracles of healing. When credit was directed toward him, the Christ Mind that was in him responded with the words: “It is not I, but the Father which doeth these works.” He spoke the great mystical Truth about healing, healers, and healing methods—the Truth that only the Universal Consciousness or God actually does the healing.

“The Ultimate Teacher”

A person may attend the most prestigious universities filled with professors who have impressive credentials and academic achievements, and from a worldly understanding, one would tend to believe that these are the ultimate source of teaching and knowledge. In such worshipping of traditional academia, the concept of a higher teaching source becomes blurred.

To suggest that life’s ultimate teacher is God seems naïve when compared to what can be learned in traditional academia, or even in traditional universities that are faith-based—universities that acknowledge God’s Presence as the Ultimate Teacher, but fail as students become mere parrots, echoing the dogma of the particular theology of that denomination. Scholastic achievement, whether secular or non-secular, becomes the idealized goal. Life is then scripted from outside sources rather than created by the guidance of the Inner Source, the Ultimate Teacher, or God.

“Earthly Incarnation”

Everyone—every soul—incarnates into this earth plane because they belong to a certain level of consciousness or awareness, except for a very few souls who are in a higher state of awareness. These few higher souls are here to raise the awareness of those souls who are ready for their awareness to be raised. Their readiness is not brought about by any religion or spiritual teacher, but from God’s Presence within a soul that knows a soul is now sufficiently aware to awaken to more of Reality.

This earth plane is a plane of contrasts—day or night, heat or cold, love or loneliness, health or illness, wealth or poverty, pleasure or pain, war or peace, and so on. The vast majority of souls who are not awakened are drawn to incarnate into this earth plane of contrasts and contradictions because their state of consciousness or soul-state is filled with contrasts or contradictions.

“Spiritual Power—Illusions and Reality”

Healing, magic, mind over matter, invoking the gods or God—all are, have been, and will be a part of the human species’ quest to have spiritual power work for themselves or others.  Since the beginning of recorded time on this physical earth plane of existence, human beings have reached for a higher spiritual power to work on their behalf or for others.  However, many have noticed that sometimes a higher power seems to work, and other times it does not.  Is one person using the right prayer or incantation while another is not?

Why does invoking spiritual power seem so inconsistent in the hands of humankind? Why is it that prayers for health, healing, prosperity, love, and other human needs and desires are not all answered?  Are some prayers chosen or favored while others are not?  Is it a matter of good or bad karma, the wrong religion, or the wrong slant on God or spirituality?
