How could there be anything difficult about such a miraculous thing as healing?
Ah, well, let me tell you.
Healing can take many forms
from completely removing a person's ills with a touch
to helping lighten a few moments
in someone’s life.
One who can take away another’s illness or hurt or injury
bears an enormous weight.
Those things are in the world for a reason
and if they’re taken off one person by another
that other then has to do something
with the illness
hurt or injury.
That’s just one level,
the physical level.
These things are in the world for psychic reasons
and if they are taken off a person who had them for the purpose of learning an important life’s lesson
then what happens?
Does the healed person also learn the lesson
while being healed?
Or does the lesson transfer to the healer?
Or will the healed person have to be re-injured
(or become ill) to be given the opportunity to learn the lesson?
A person who deals with these situations
and eventually these questions
begins to ask himself a whole other series of questions
the main one being
who am I to make such judgments
such decisions
as to counteract the will of the universe
of this life lesson?
On the other hand
I was given this gift
as my part in the Will of the Universe
so who am I to question the validity
the right or wrongness of this use?
Shouldn’t I
as a healer
spend my life walking about laying my hands on people
and other beings
those who believe anyway
and healing their ills?
Of course this is not as easy as it sounds either.
If one did such a thing
one might soon be in the hands of the authorities
who might be outraged at such a one for the blasphemy of performing
or claiming to perform
miracles such as could
truly only be performed by
God or his one and only Son
and one’s own life might possibly
become forfeit.
At another level
one who claimed to be gifted with ability
to heal others would face
ridicule, denial and ostracization from the medical establishment.
The only place for miracles in technical medical world in the laboratory, through drugs
or procedures.
Spontaneous healing
though common
and increasingly well-documented
is still very much denied
by those whose credibility and livelihood are threatened by it.
