Session 66.10: Misconstrued responsibility

[Phoenix]

Interesting phrasing, as though the contact had watched this happen:

Questioner: What is the difference, philosophically, between a mind/body/spirit complex healing itself through mental, shall I say, configuration or it being healed by an healer?

Ra: I am Ra. You have a misconception. The healer does not heal. The crystallized healer is a channel for intelligent energy which offers an opportunity to an entity that it might heal itself.

In no case is there an other description of healing. Therefore, there is no difference as long as the healer never approaches one whose request for aid has not come to it previously. This is also true of the more conventional healers of your culture and if these healers could but fully realize that they are responsible only for offering the opportunity of healing, and not for the healing, many of these entities would feel an enormous load of misconceived responsibility fall from them.

Do we think this same sense of misconstrued responsibility can be applied to a lot of things on earth?

I've experienced this on a personal level.

Like many here, I have a desire to be of service. When I was younger, I held the notion that I had this responsibility to change others for the better. Part and parcel with that, I had a preconceived notion for how things "oughta be", of course. 

Of course I always felt extremely burdened. If I saw that my efforts did nothing, or god forbid, hurt somebody else, then I would begin to spiral into a dark place. Rinse and repeat

Remembering that the healer can only provide the opportunity for healing has slowly transformed the way I think and act in the world. In particular when it comes to interacting with others. I still sometimes find myself disappointed after things don't happen the way I'd like em to. That's when I remember to empty myself (lol) and provide a fertile environment for that higher power to work through me. 

I feel less burdened that way too, which means I can work better

Thankyou for this response.
