Principles of Healing: A Discussion

[Aion]

For me, the principles of healing revolve around the concept of 'wholeness', which is where the word 'health' actually comes from. Health and Whole essentially mean the same thing. This is because if you are whole, then you are One and if you are One then you are the Creator. The healing journey then comes to 'an end' when one is 'healthy', but that is only for the self. Usually individuals once they heal themselves fully they offer themselves either to help heal others or they pursue some other personal pursuit. The whole concept of healing revolves around 'being healthy', which means to be whole. The whole concept of the Law of One is thus tricky this way because if you look at it as a way of reaching healing which is the process of becoming healthy, you have to be willing to look at the opposite of health; illness.

I think this is where healing has been a difficult field for many people because so many people just want to be healthy but also that they suffer very much so from their dis-eases. Many people have sought after the understanding in the Law of One because they feel it brings healing, but I can also attest through my long period of time on this forum and interacting with people that it doesn't always end well. Not everyone swallows the "Law of One" pill right away.

The reason I bring this up is because I feel there is a lot of pain that has come from the distortions which have spread from the concepts in this material and that healing needs to be approached from a wider perspective than just the concepts offered therein.

I think that healing as an idea exists with 'the many'. It isn't something that is necessary or relevant in 'the One'. So, why does it need to come up in the discussion? Admittedly I think it does little more than distract. I do like the Ra Material, I do, but the healing modality that might be discerned from within it is actually quite shallow, despite the profundity of the words. I apologize to any who might be offended by my saying that and some may certainly disagree, but while it presents some very deep ideas, it does not excavate them to any meaningful degree without the influence of the individual.

This is my key point is that healing is about the individual, not the modality, or technique or tradition. So these things are not actually at all relevant to the principles of healing, in my opinion. Instead I think healing is an outgrowth of emotional and creative expression, which may take many different forms, as well as the will to live. The willingness to live causes one to seek out healing and repair opportunities and to act upon them. This is why mental health can be so totally devastating and the body can deteriorate under such mental conditions, there is a disconnect from the will and desire to live.

I think that in some way all illness, disease and thus healing is related to death. Whether it is spiritual, physical, mental or emotional death, it is something that terrifies many. Healing and health in the traditional sense are related to the physical body and thus the desire to keep the body running for as long as possible was seen as the desire of health. There are also many cultural layers to health. For example in a society with many traditions they may view individuals who are more related in terms of beliefs and mind as being more healthy, with those with differing beliefs being sick or ill or corrupted. Health has become a currency in a manner in that it has become something of a commodity to be traded, exploited and capitalized upon.

So, I think you kind of have to scrap all of that. Go in to silence, and find for yourself what healing means to you. Ask yourself first if you even need it, or if you are already whole.
