Are spiritual healing and energy work compatible with modern medicine?

1/17/2023

0 Comments

 
Spiritual healing and energy work may be compatible with modern medicine in certain cases. For example, if you have a broken bone. Modern medicine (and even ancient medicine) can be of service to you. But how quickly you heal, as well as your attitude towards the inevitable pain, depends on energy systems that you tune into.

Pills, cutting, and burning can only take us so far down the healing process. They remove things such as pain, set things such a bones, and. destroy things such as cancer cells. But they can do nothing whatsoever to speed healing. Healing depends on how tuned in we are to the abundant energy of the Universe. It depends on our trust in all of its miraculous systems instead of running and hiding out of fear. Modern medicine feeds our fear to feel pain for even one instant, instead of seeing pain as our friend that is there to guide us further into healing.

Modern medicine is based on fear and the raging need for survival at all costs. It has caused us to view all people as possible vectors for disease. If we want to survive, we should keep away and be very afraid of them. They could make us die. Instead of a friendly face that could add beauty to our lives, we see masked up faces scurrying along, trying to make it through another day. Trying to make it through another day of fear, with some escapes, courtesy of the pharmaceutical industry.

So from that point of view, modern medicine is not compatible with energy healing techniques or approaches. However, I have used spiritual healing approaches to find the right physician when I did need one. I also did metaphysical work and intentions to guide his or her hands. This has worked out very well for me. I have had two knee operations with almost no visible scarring. During the healing period I kept my consciousness in a blissful state through conscious breathing to speed the healing process. Now both my legs are stronger than ever.

I did not use the pain pills because I needed my body to signal when it was time to get up and start moving around. I did not want to fool it into a false sense of where I was into the healing.
Many physicians chose the field of modern medicine because they wanted to help people and to save lives. Coming from that intention, they can be of enormous service. But if people herd to them like sheep and give up any sense of responsibility for their own health, it is also not compatible with energy healing. Energy healing is about determining the root cause, not putting a bandaid on it and suppressing it. It is about looking within instead of finding something “out there” to save us.
​

The root cause may be any form of imbalance, any form of immoderate behavior that simply showing up at a doctor’s office and saying, “Here doc, make me better,!” will not cure. What is causing us to drink too much, eat too much, smoke too much, or do other self-harming practices? That is what we need to address and that is where energy healing is effective. Modern medicine does not address these issues, nor can it, for these are sicknesses of the Soul and they cannot be seen under a microscope.

Can you explain how quantum mechanics or something similar can be used to understand spirituality?

12/29/2022

Quantum physics and mechanics point to underlying energy forces that are not perceivable through the physical senses. They extrapolate that the entire material world is dependent on the observer. What we consider to be solid matter, composed of atoms and molecules, is actually patterns of energy that can either be a particle or a wave, depending on the observer and on probability.

The observer interacts with the particle or wave during the act of observation, for the scanning electron microscope alters what it is aimed at through light energy that interacts with the observed. This makes it almost impossible to pin material objects down to solid forms when we are examining them at this level. The basic building blocks of all that is felt, seen, heard, tasted, so elusive that we cannot measure them under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, they are not blocks or structures that can be quantified.

Spirituality is also based on the unseen and unmeasurable. It is observer-dependent. The observer perceives through spiritual senses the underlying energy patterns from which all material forms arise. As Lao Tau says in verse 25 of the Tao, “There was something formless and perfect before the universe was born.” From this formlessness, all forms arose and all perished. But the underlying formlessness from which it arose is eternal, unchanging, and One.

Lao Tzu said this 2,500 years ago and it still perfectly describes the paradox that all this stuff around us that we think is real, perishes and therefore cannot be “really” real. Yet it comes from something that never perishes. It comes from something eternal. Some will call it God, some the Source Energy of the Universe, some the Tao, all in an attempt to understand what seems to be illogical. But it cannot be pinned down to one name.

In Newtonian physics we have measurable laws of cause and effect, gravity, and thermodynamics. In Quantum physics, cause and effect don’t apply because an atom might be a particle or a wave based simply on probability. Everything exists in the realm of possibility. And so it is in spirituality as well. It is a space of infinite possibility, unbounded by physical, material laws. At it’s root, matter is not real because it is not eternal. The only thing that is eternal is the fountainhead from which everything that exists proceeds. And that cannot be seen, heard, named or quantified in any way.
​

The underlying structure holds all in place, and yet we cannot “see” it. And cannot “see” the atom either. This requires a leap of faith that all is well and perfectly organized, even if the human brain cannot grasp it. And this is the same faith that pervades spirituality, regardless of the form it takes.

How can belief in something that cannot be seen or measured provide strength and comfort?

11/5/2022

We can't see electricity, nor the interconnections of the Internet that makes our communication with each other possible. We don’t see the air, yet we rely on it for our very lives. We put our trust in so many things that we cannot see or measure.

We can measure the outcome or output of these invisible forces, such as how much light or heat electricity puts out. But the actual invisible energy is not quantifiable in that way. All we can do is rely on the thermodynamic laws and laws of electrical flow to predict their outcomes.

Belief and trust are two different things. Belief means, “I don’t know. I’d like to think it’s such and such a way. But I don’t really know.” Or, belief is based on blind trust, as a child believes in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
​

But when it comes to finding strength in unseen forces outside ourselves and our sensory apparatus, it is more a matter of deep feeling, and an inner knowing that comes from profound experience. If it is based on belief alone, we could find comfort in the Great Rabbit in the Sky, if that is what our culture teaches. Then, a new belief system comes along, such as the Great Turtle beneath the Earth, and we believe that as well. Because belief is not based on knowledge or experience.

The most important things in the world are those unseen things, such as love. We can’t see love or peace. We can only feel love, peace, and joy. Also, it doesn’t depend on sight at all. Sighted people rely so much on what they see to believe what they think is real. What about our blind brothers and sisters? They can feel the presence of the Holy Source Energy of the Universe too. Because, Spiritual forces are not dependent on our senses, which can easily be lost, destroyed, or diminished by age.
​

Therefore, the only things that are truly comforting, are the eternal things, which cannot be destroyed or diminished. That is what brings comfort. But don’t try to measure them with any scientific instruments. You must feel them to know them.

Is the law of attraction/manifestation simply a way for people to just believe in themselves, and therefore take action, or is it more than that?

1/25/2021

The Law of Attraction, which is “like attracts like,” makes a lot of sense when we see it in nature. Geese don’t hang out with skunks, they attract other geese. It is also about the energy that we put out there. It is invisible, but is comes back to us as we magnetically attract it.

However, I take issue with people thinking that they can sit on their sofa all day long and pet their cat and all the goodies they ever wanted in life will magically appear. My experience is that you have to meet the Universe at least half way, through action, to manifest anything you want in your life.

It is the lazy way out to think that you can lose weight, for example, by just thinking thoughts that you are thinner. You have to put in the work and the discipline. You must take some form of action. That is what sets the whole Universal ball rolling. If you just sit there and indulge in magical thinking that just because you are a good person and think nice thoughts everything good will come to you, I’m sorry, it won’t work.

Unfortunately, the Law of Attraction has been so commercialized, it has lost its original meaning. It is all about the energy forces of the Universe, which are unseen but can be harnessed by our own energy fields. It is not about brining in all the stuff money can buy and everyone lives happily ever after.

The physical plane is not easy and we a driven by the media to believe we need so many things to be happy. The Law of Attraction appeals to people who want lots of things. And therefore, it has become tarnished from misuse. We believe all these things lead to a happy, successful life. But they don’t. Inner peace, joy, love, bliss—our minds need to be all of those first things to attract them.
​

But we cannot be a huge SUV, a McMansion, a $1,000 pizza, and those things all go away or get digested and turn to excrement or dust. So, using the Law of Attraction for such things may be amusing, but it is not fulfilling and often doesn’t work. We are coming from an energy level of need and want, rather than fulfillment and that is the flaw. Law of attraction, without the necessary energetic work to supplement it, will not work.

Can you trust the law of attraction to solve all our problems?

7/11/2020

No, solving all our problems is not so easy as sitting on a couch and thinking positive thoughts.

The Law of Attraction does work. Like always attracts like, as we can see in nature all around us. Skunks don’t hang out with geese and fish don’t fraternize with sparrows. But it is not so simple as just being a positive source of energy and opening yourself up to the abundance of the Universe. All the goodies are not going to fall into our laps automatically.

The way it is designed, which many people would not like to face because they think it is easier to just wish and hope, is that we must meet the Universe at least halfway with action. It sounds like such a wonderful fairy tale to think that all we have to do to lose weight is to think about being thin. No, sorry, we must also stop eating fattening and non-nourishing foods and do some form of exercise.

And if we want to be wealthy, all we have to do is stop our negative vibes about cash flow and money. But again, this is wishing and hoping. It is not the whole picture. Yes, we can be unobstructed conduits for all the good of the Universe, but we must put in the effort. Not the struggle, not the grueling slavery, but the effort that shows our intentions.
​

The goal of “solving all our problems” is unrealistic and not the reason for our existence on this planet. Our problems are instigation for growth. And once they are “solved,” opportunities for new growth appear. It is never solved. It never gets done. and our opportunities for growth are endless.

I'm afraid of getting specific with the law of attraction because I'm afraid there might be something better for me. Is it better to go specific or broad in manifesting?

3/22/2020

It is better to go specific, for if you go too broad it does not show enough committed intention. I am not saying that you will manifest the exact thing you passionately keep in mind. But if you don’t know what you want or are too general, you are not putting out enough energy to attract it.

In the case of the Law of Attraction, there is also the Law of Deliberate Intention. This is where you outline in detail what it is that you want to fulfill your life this time around. It may change, so mercifully, there is a gap between your ideation and the manifestation. This leeway allows us to fine-tune what we really want for our happiness and peace.

Then, we must acknowledge the Law of Allowing, and let the Universe bring to us what we desire. So its, deliberately intend, then attract, and then allow it to manifest in its own way and in its own time.
​
I notice in your question that you use the words “I am afraid” twice. Fear is also a vibration and all it can attract is more fear, as like attracts like. Don’t be afraid of the Law of Attraction. It’s not about getting as many goodies for yourself in the shortest amount of time and hoping they are the right ones. Those things don’t last anyway. There is nothing better out there in the future for you unless you come to peace with the present.

What's the difference between "soul" and "spirit"?

2/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Soul and Spirit are both elements of the Creative Force of the Universe. They are both immortal and unseen with the human eye. But they can be felt with the heart.
Soul is the emanation of all things beautiful and holy about the universe. It is the essence behind all the harmony and exquisiteness of what we experience through our spiritual senses.
​
Spirit is the energy behind the Soul. It is the driving force that impels attraction and creativity to be expressed through Soul. When Spirit is unselfishly and fervently invoked, qualities of Soul shine forth as a result.

The combination of Soul and Spirit is what we feel when we hear a great masterpiece, such as Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. He was already deaf when he composed it but was open to divine inspiration. He was a vessel for the complex beauty of the structure of All That Is. Therefore, he allowed the Spirit to move him and became a witness and transcriber of Soul.

Another example is any of the great spiritual teachers whose generous Souls brought them to share their wisdom and comfort with others. They channel the Spirit and express it uniquely and perfectly, being a witness to the ever presence of Soul and its everlasting beauty.

Does meditating change personality? Will I be the same person after years of meditation?

10/5/2019

0 Comments

 
I have seen people’s personalities change after they became meditators.

Many years ago I was a high school English teacher in an inner city school. Two of my most difficult students, who acted wild and hostile, began to change before my eyes. They became mellow, they smiled with glowing friendliness towards me. I felt a completely different vibration coming from them—a loving inclusion that stunned me.

Soon after this personality change they came to me and told me about Transcendental Meditation. I went with them and was initiated. After that, my bond with these two young men was completely of the heart and of the Soul. It was such a drastic change and showed me how important it is for us to be still and get into contact with our deepest Selves. Not the mind-stream that never stops its fearful antics, but our deepest, eternal Souls.
​
If I had not seen the complete personality change, I could not attest to the fact that meditation changed both of these students. Interestingly, it also changed me and my attitude towards the students in general. Whereas before, I had been hostile in my own way, I was able to soften up and still maintain a quiet learning environment. Though many years separated me from these two students, they brought me to a humble understanding of how much I learned from them.

What is the difference between Pranic healing and Reiki healing? Is one more effective than the other?

9/26/2019

0 Comments

 
​Pranic and Reiki are both forms of energy healing. We have long recognized the relationship between our minds’ reactivity and our bodies’s ailments. Sometimes people need an energy adjustment. They need to release blockages that manifest as knots and tension in the muscles and organs. Energy healing is one of the time- tested ways of dealing with our daily aches and pains.

Pranic healing originated in India, where the whole person is treated in Ayurvedic medicine. Mind, body, and soul are all taken into account. Energy healing makes sense in this setting. “Prana” is the powerful yet unseen breath of life. It is like the “winds” in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and close to the concept of “Chi.”
​
If the prana is out of whack, lots of things can go wrong in the body. In general, a person can feel depleted and constantly tired. The pranic healer assesses peoples’ energy through reading their auras, chakras (energy centers), and energy fields. They then prescribe protocols for cleansing and healing.
Reiki originated in Japan. It is different from pranic healing in that It is administered through placing the healer’s hands on the patient to cleanse and balance the chakras, meridians, and other energy centers. The healer’s hands channel and transmit energy, which flows into the areas that need to be healed. In this way the unseen energy of the life force is renewed.
Like the pranic healer, the reiki healer finds blocked and congested areas and clears them through time-tested techniques and getting in touch with their own inner wisdom.

What does "there is no final draft" mean as a philosophy of life?

8/22/2019

0 Comments

 
Many humans would like to think that life makes sense. That there is a beginning, middle, and end. They believe if they just follow all the rules they will be rewarded at the end of their lives and everything will be revealed to them: The meaning of their struggles, losses, and heartache.

Then many people look at their lives and think they blew it. They missed their chance to have a great or perfect life because of their faulty decisions and character traits. Or they didn’t grab the golden ring when it was dangling right before their noses. They blame themselves and everyone else because they did not construct the ideal life. They did not create the final draft that would be approved by: God, cherished institutions, and belief systems.

“There is no final draft,” means we cannot get it wrong and our Souls are eternal. Each life is on a path that unfolds at it own rate, has its own lessons and revelations. And if we feel we blew it this time around, we have the opportunity during our next birth to continue with the growth of our Souls.
​
Our lives are in a constant state of change. Our Souls remain constant yet ever changing at the same time. This paradox is difficult to grasp yet it is at the root of why there is no final draft. We are not here to earn good grades and pass the exam for, fundamentally, we are eternal and constantly flowing energy fields.
