Healer, Methodologies & Principles
The healer views the entity to be healed in two ways: 1) its present state of apparent imbalance and 2) its deeper, perfect balance. In feeling the blockages or the balance of colors of the other-self, then, there is no judgment on the part of the healer.[40]
Though it is possible for one to perform healing without training, those who do so in a reliable, steady, and stable way are those whose life equals their work: the healer must live in balance and first practice the healing upon the self.
The healer cannot take credit for the working, but must take responsibility for the honor/duty of carefully fulfilling and tending to its service with fidelity, honesty, compassion, and the support of the free will of other selves. That responsibility is only for offering the opportunity of healing, and not for the healing itself. In this offering, the crystallized healer has no will—it offers without attachment to outcome for it is aware that all is one and that the Creator is knowing Itself.
The healer infringes upon free will if he or she attributes authorship of the healing to the self or to personal skills. Those healers who state that no working comes from them, but only through them, are not infringing upon free will.[41]
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. – 66.10
Author’s Note: The Request for Healing
In the above quote, Ra says, “Therefore, there is no difference as long as the healer never approaches one whose request for aid has not come to it previously.” That’s a head scratcher to me. I think it falls along the lines of:
Positive: awaits the request for service
Negative: calls self to service (aka: conquest)
In the healing profession, “awaiting the request” seems a little unrealistic and inapplicable to our world. I imagine doctors reaching desperately ill or dying people and, without awaiting the “request” from the patient, nevertheless follow their training and help heal or save the patient’s life. 99% of patients are likely to be grateful in that scenario. I think Ra would have been better to encourage a sensitivity toward the needs and requests of others vs the “never” absolute. But perhaps there are deeper metaphysical layers to the “request.”
