How to balance?

[Jade]

I think many people read the Ra material, and decide that they want to be healers. Which is great! Within the first couple of sessions even Ra is talking about crystal healing. It's obviously a big part of the story Don was meant to get Ra to tell. However, it *isn't* all fun and games to be a healer, and the process of initiation is tough. I think a lot of people get stuck in that initiation, actually. They get excited and a part of their being says "Yes! I accept this honor/responsibility!" but they have no idea the gravity of that honor/responsibility.

This, of course, takes initiation, and there have never been many to persevere to the extent of progressing through the various distortion leavings which initiation causes.

I think this is the type of STO "discipline" (sorry to cross thread discussions) that needs to be exercised - discipline and strength of will to persevere through the various stages of initiation that taking on the honor/duty of being a healer entails.
