This posting begins a series on healing. This quote from William LePar's spiritual source, The Council gives us some important information about what is needed from the healer. We must always keep in mind that in some situations the soul that is being healed does not wish a physical healing. There can be many reasons for this. The initial reason for the illness may be for those around the person who is ill, to help them in their spiritual growth. ***: My question concerns the area of healing. In our condition of existence an individual opens himself as a channel for the flow of creative energy for the person to be healed. I would like to know what actually takes place in the unseen by those who assist us in this process? TC: It is a very simple process; so simple that man finds it very hard to cope with, and that is the sincere desire to be used as a channel, that is on the healer's part first. When the healer has enough belief in himself, then he becomes a healer. Then those energies can flow through him, whether they be from the Divine Source Himself or from those who are, shall we say, schooling on the other side. Now the problem that is the greatest of stumbling blocks is the one that is to be healed. Healing cannot come to an individual unless that individual so chooses it. Regardless of what the words may be from that individual, the healing must be desired from the soul or from the spirit. So it is simply on the healer's part the sincere desire to be used. Along with this, the healer must have the faith that this will take place. If the healer has the least bit of hesitancy, then the healer blocks that natural flow. A doubt in one's ability causes a friction or a static where these finer vibrations are, shall we say, prevented from flowing. Most healings do not take place because one or the other has doubt. The other reason, unfortunately, for healings not taking place is that the supposed healer is not really a healer at all. Each individual has its abilities: some for healing, some for other things; and there are those individuals who are attracted to healing because of the self-glorification that it can bring them; so consequently, these are not true healers.
