Healing Spirit Through Prayer

[Sacred Fool]

Each of the dozen years I've meandered around these forums some number of forlorn souls would appear expressing much agony which they attribute to their being an incarnate volunteer from a different planet whose adaptation to Earth is a difficult process.  These folks are usually offered sympathy and random suggestions, but how can one encapsulate such a broad matter and describe factors which might really lead to an alleviation of suffering?  The following dissection of the Q'uo session from May 29th, 1994 is my attempt to do this.  If, in fact, any should find this useful, not merely an interesting (or trying) read, but as a basis to do spiritual work which moves them forward upon their path, then perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing this in a comment below for others to learn from?

The session's dialogue focused on the perspective of the healer, but I have edited this presentation to speak more to the one seeking healing.  To view the original, go here.

I am Q’uo. ...The spiritual unease of which you speak is often the result of precisely the situation which you have described, that of entities who have journeyed to this sphere for the purpose of aiding its birth, shall we say, into a new level of vibration. The blending of vibrations that are more harmonious with the vibrations of your planetary sphere as it suffers some difficulty in the birthing often causes a jangling to the spiritual complex which is likened to the feeling a traveler has in a distant land of not being a portion of that population. The healing that is of the body and the mental and the emotional complexes is for many entities more a product of the utilization of this density’s vibrations for the working out of an incarnational pattern which had its roots in many lifetimes previous.

Thus, the healing of such entities is that which often is accomplished by means which are similar to that which is offered to the one seeking spiritual healing as well, for all healing must have the foundation set in the etheric or form-making body which is that more closely aligned with the spiritual complex of any entity.

This passage points out that physical, mental and emotional healing are usually related to lessons one has sought to learn in the course of incarnational experience, whereas spiritual healing is a different matter.  Even so, the route of healing is similar for all of these.  The following quote discusses spiritual health in more detail.  In fact, it gives a rather technical description of the suffering often described.

Structurally speaking, there are two clear portions to working upon spiritual healing or health. The first energy which needs to be worked with by the entity and by a healer who wishes to assist is that portion of the self which could perhaps be seen as muddied or roiled in terms of energetic patterns. The torque of spiritual disease is such that the unhealthy entity that one could say knotted or twisted and then held in that pattern by the energies which wish to untangle that unhealth, but yet each attempt to untangle just (pulls) the knot tighter.

This darkness, shall we say, is a darkness which is in the midst of the light which is also perceived as darkness. Therefore, there is no vision within which can tell what of the shadow world of spirit is of health and which is that of disease. Therefore, in the combing out of these tangles the dependency must be not upon precise visualization, but rather upon the willingness of that seeker to lay down all judgment of both disease and health, or of both the darkness which is knotted and that great darkness of spirit which is the rightful realm of the healthy and balanced spiritual seeker.

This passage appears contradictory, saying that darkness is an hindrance, and saying that darkness is exactly where the seeker of Spirit belongs.  But there is only one reason this darkness feels inappropriate, and that is the influence of fear.

What is this knotting that indicates that the shuttle of spirit is not in good working order? The simplest term is fear. The spiritually ill entity has moved into an isolation, a place alone within which the entity is unforgiven and unnurtured. This isolation is crushing and once entered is very difficult to see, much less to work with. So, the energies of the healer pour like a blessing over this wounded spirit, lessening the isolation. However it is an infringement on the free will of the spirit being healed to substitute one’s own faith for the faith of the patient, so the healer who wishes to be of benefit must work on itself, offering, too, itself those energies of forgiveness and wholeness. And in this offering to self, opening and sharing this purifies emotion of an at-one-ment with the patient.

The first line emboldened above restates the basic problem: intense felt-isolation.  The second emboldened line points to the solution, as well as to the need for the "great darkness" in doing work in spirit.  Viz., the darkness is the womb within which the purification of the emotions sheds the transformational light (via the heart, not the emotional body), which is expressed in prayer and which creates that particular, individual way out through the murk.

 

The one known as D has offered the information that although the spiritual illness can now be to some extent determined or found, yet there has not been a corresponding mode of healing with the exception of prayer. Again this is because the spirit, while acting as a shuttle for energies into the physical and mental and emotional bodies, is not in direct contact with energies within the instinctual body and mental frame of individuals upon planet Earth, but rather can be reached roundabout, or so it seems to those within third density. The praying seems roundabout because one is praying to forces or essences within the world of spirit. And then that energy which lies without the sphere of Earth is persuaded to enter into the tangle to breathe balance into it. However, in actuality prayer is the most direct way of healing, for true healing is the restoration of all energies to their rightful balance.

This is the pivotal concept.  If spiritual suffering is caused by the inability for the physical, mental and emotional aspects of self to have direct communion with spirit, then the way to bridge this communion is through prayer.  Therefore, to learn to heal, one must learn to pray.  But what is prayer?

 

Prayer is a form of communication whose object is one with its subject. The prayer, in reaching to the infinite Creator, reaches within. The self talking to the greater Self, this is the structure which seen from the outside may be said to constitute the house of prayer. The actuality is that that seemingly far away source of unity which love itself is, lies within, so the journey of prayer is a journey from self to the greater Self within, then circling back to form the unending circle between prayer and prayer, that is between the one who prays and the object of prayer.It is not that we are saying that people pray to themselves, rather we are saying that that to which people pray lies within, for as the illusions of manifestation are progressively cast aside, that which is uncovered is already holy ground, and that far away Creator of one who fears is in reality that imminent presence which is the internal truth of all, shut away from the heart’s awareness by that door which the seeker is always able to open but has not discovered the way to, or the key for it.

So then, how does one enter the darkness, open the self and refine the emotions so as to approach the vibration of the Eternal Self?  This, I would say, is the basic question of each and every incarnation.  This is where we are all slowly moving towards convergence, but here's a further description of what it looks on a more personal level.

The quality which the prayer most beneficially offers the one to be healed is the avenue through which to express the heart, and the heartfelt desire to be healed, this, then, expressed in a manner which for this entity allows the most open and clear expression to be healed. For some it may be that prayers which exist in your literature are most helpful. For others it may be that the prayer of the moment is the one which is most helpful. Thus, it is not important whether or not the prayer is structured in such and such a fashion, rather it is important that the prayer provide an avenue for the heart to be expressed.

To conclude this collage of thought I would return to the basic idea that there are so many among us seeking healing from their discomfort, and that this path of healing can then become a path of spiritual maturation.  The choice is yours.  Your heart is ever there for you to embrace, even when it seems wholly obscured in the "great darkness."  Even in the pitch black darkness, transformational light can be sparked by sincere prayer between the heart of self and the heart of Self.

An entity seeking healing is seeking relief from a pattern of thought and belief which brings it disease of one nature or another. To face the situation that is internal to the entity is often difficult for the entity, for the pattern of thought and behavior that has resulted in the disease is one which has, until the point of healing, remained for the most part hidden and a mystery.

As the desire to be healed grows within the entity and more especially as the entity seeks the healing, the entity actually in the metaphysical turns to face the problem, the structure of thinking, in full light. This is often painful or fearful for the entity seeking healing, for the experiences which have been a portion of the entity’s formation of the diseased patterns of thought are often traumatic and to face this once again in light is for many a fearsome proposition.

The healer may aid the one seeking healing in the facing of the fear by reminding each who seeks healing that the healing is a natural process for a disease which is also a portion of a natural process of growth, that the entity is not alone, that many have gone before it and have been healed of that which ails it, that far many more walk with it unseen to aid the healing. In these ways and many others may the healer aid the one facing the fear and seeking the healing.
