Healing is more about what happens on the inside than what happens on the outside. Everyone has some healing that needs to be done. A life, once begun, will always be a life of healing, for that is what the human experience is all about. It’s about finding the path that heals old wounds, whether from a previous lifetime or the one amazing life you are now living. Healing is about finding your Self, the central character in the life you are living. It’s about finding your center and your grounding in the life you are in, and knowing just why you are there. Many people never quite find that Self, but you are one of the lucky ones, for you know who you are, why you are there, and what your healing journey is about. Keep connected to that knowing, for it will lead you forward to your next place of healing work, within the Self that you really do know so well. Even if you wonder if you are there yet, in more ways than one, you are!
A day with nothing required to do, hence the beginning of a creative cycle. I decide to tackle splitting some wood that has been waiting.
I drive my pickup truck to the pile of logs. The first thing I notice when I open the door is that there is no annoying buzzing, which always happens when I leave the key in the ignition and open the door.
I’m dumbfounded! Fourteen years with this truck and this has never happened before. Several times I reinsert the key, open and close the door, and the same anomaly repeats—no noise!
Little did I realize that this key event was prompting me to become lucid, as I was being ushered into a journey of non-ordinary reality. I next grabbed my maul, walked over to, and stared at, the wood to be split. Suddenly, my back, at the level of the sacrum, seized, as if struck by a giant weight! The pain was excruciating and I was afraid to move.
My mind knew that I had done absolutely nothing to cause this experience, but the excruciating pain I was gripped by sure was physically real! I immediately turned to my trusty first-aid mantra to my subconscious mind and incessantly repeated, “My back is healing, my back is healed.”
Nothing doing, nothing changed. I lumbered to the truck and drove back to the house, recounting the experience to Jan. When I went to demonstrate the magical key in the truck ignition, the magic was gone; the annoying buzzing returned, along with my aching back.
I questioned the obvious psychosomatic possibility that my body was just telling my mind that it wasn’t up to the splitting task I’d assigned it. The truth is, however, that my body had been in terrific shape and I was not pushing it beyond its energetic capability.
I considered a number of physical remedies but came to the very clear realization that this was not a physical problem, as had been clearly shown to me. I did absolutely nothing to cause the physical ailment, however real the physical symptoms were. I chose to meet the spirit behind the symptoms head on, on spirit terms.
So many times over the years, clients have had acute, powerful physical symptoms that have warranted a trip to the ER. On some occasions this resulted in a much needed physical treatment, however, in many cases the final diagnosis was a panic attack.
We came to discover that, often, the precursor to recovering a new memory during the process of traumatic recapitulation is, in fact, panic—a natural defense that warns of the coming intrusion into consciousness of disturbing material, often associated with physical pain. So? Was I in the midst of a traumatic recapitulation?
Jan did remind me of similar symptoms I had grappled with several years ago. At that time, I realized I was energetically incapacitated by allowing myself to assume responsibility for burdens that were not my own. That realization had ultimately lifted the extreme weight I had experienced, in dense form, in my back.
Subsequent to that realization years ago, I had firmly programmed my subconscious mind to refuse outside suggestions that could be harmful to me. I knew that we energetically live in a completely interconnected universe, where the thoughts and actions of others are subtlety detected by, and can impact, the subconscious mind. So, how could this hurtful energetic suggestion from without have slipped through now?
The answer is obvious to me. My subconscious was infiltrated because somewhere I was colluding with the outside energy, thus actually inviting the experience I had. My overriding suggestion to my subconscious mind has always been to live in truth. In this case, I was led to an issue I had to more deeply examine and adjust my attachment to.
The back journey I was on was orchestrated by my High Self to help me become aware of this impediment to growth. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way.
Are you wondering if my back has healed? The answer is that there was nothing physical to heal.
This experience has been an energetic dialogue, along with an emotional process, that was initiated by and resolved with Spirit, which momentarily took possession of the flesh.
I have to end now, as I go attend to outdoor tasks.
Notably, a mirror on the world of now reflects a vast difference of opinion, between a pope and a politician, as to Jesus Christ’s judgment about the use of war.
The real war of now is the evolutionary shift of the human mind away from its materialistic underpinnings into assuming spiritual responsibility for the greater good of all.
Jesus was a teacher and a healer, who introduced a technology for that evolutionary shift in human consciousness that we are currently growing into, as we travel deeper into the New Mind of our Aquarian Age.
This technology highlights the divine power of the human mind—through the relationship between conscious and subconscious minds—to create and heal, with abilities previously ascribed only to an outside deity.
Actually, these abilities have always been present and exercised by the human mind. The difference now is in the actual knowing that what one thinks and believes creates physical reality. The challenge is to use these abilities for the greater good of all.
Beliefs are the core agents of suggestions, which literally construct our physical lives through the power of the subconscious mind. Assuming responsible use of this power is at the heart of the challenge of now.
Belief is the key ingredient to activate the divine power of spiritual healing. Absent the belief that we can be healed by the power of our subconscious mind creates a blocking belief that nullifies healing through autosuggestion or the outer suggestion of a healer. The power to heal rests within the power of our own inner belief.
Belief, in this context, is not about religion. It’s actually about a powerful certainty, built upon the science of an inner knowing, gained through personal experience.
Carl Jung was asked, point blank, if he believed in God. His response: “I don’t believe—I know.” (Here’s the YouTube link to his response.) This is a belief that comes from the inner knowing of direct experience. This is not a belief that harbors doubt. This is the optimal belief, needed to approach, and successfully attract, the power of the subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind never questions the verity of the suggestions it receives. However, if the conscious mind says one thing but believes another, the subconscious mind will act upon the more powerful autosuggestion.
The confidence that leads to a knowing belief can be accrued. I have, in various blogs, described my own experience of using a repetitive phrase, such as, “I am healing, I am healed”, when confronting a physical circumstance where one might expect an experience of discomfort or pain.
Each time one gets a positive result from such an exercise, the conscious rational mind starts to value the utility and fact of its experience. Over time, rationality expands itself to incorporate the wisdom and legitimacy of this spiritual power. Here, confidence leads to belief, based upon genuine knowing.
People are advised to not share these personal successes, as they invite overt, or telepathic, counter-suggestions from non-believing others, which subsequently might undo the healing achieved.
The subconscious mind is constantly subjected to an ocean of suggestions, both from the conscious mind as well as suggestions from the collective subconscious of the human race—particularly the thoughts of others focused upon one’s self.
The shamans of ancient Mexico were particularly schooled in this fact, which is why they typically kept an anonymous profile that shielded them from the impact of the thoughts of others upon their own subconscious minds.
The phenomenon of distance healing is a positive instance of sending a healing intention to another person, through a suggestion to the subconscious mind of that person. Of course, the subconscious mind of that person remains in control as to whether it will take in that suggestion.
The highest level of distance healing is to send healing intention to another without their knowledge, and without attachment to the outcome. Here, one avoids all negative counter-suggestions, as well as the interference of self-importance on the part of the healer.
The journey to the New Mind, with all its latent powers to serve the greater good, for self and the world, is deeply coming online in this time of destruction and transformation. The phoenix rising from the fire of destruction is indeed the spirit of Aquarius rising with the collective New Mind.
Our time will surely be remembered as one of a rapid shift in ruling beliefs. The shamans of ancient Mexico characterized civilization as a fixation point of assembled beliefs that are agreed upon by the collective human race and hence deliver us to the consensual reality we live in.
At present, that fixation point has been dislodged, as the world currently reflects The Tower card of the Tarot deck, where an all-consuming fire burns away all previously established order. As we live through this time of great transition, we are shown daily how rapidly new beliefs can materialize into physical reality.
Beliefs are the prime movers and building blocks of reality. Tremendous efforts are evident in social media to fixate our attention upon new beliefs that support living in a new reality. Television stations incessantly present points of view that justify their version of a new reality. All these influences upon the mind of the consumer seek to enlist its divine power of creation to build and fixate upon this new proposed reality.
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a healer in Maine during the 1860s, came to the understanding that humans were gifted with the godly power of creation in the thoughts they attach to as core beliefs, which then, from the center of the magical subconscious mind, materialize into physical reality.
Quimby never questioned the truth of a patient’s symptoms or physical ailments. Belief does generate physical reality. Nonetheless, he realized that one could potentially become dislodged from a belief that generated ill health, and become attached to a new belief of health, that would, in turn, generate a cure. This is evident in the power of the placebo effect.
Quimby once worked with a soldier, who suffered from the phantom pain of an injured arm despite it being amputated. When the soldier was cured of his disbelief that he had lost his arm, the phantom pain disappeared. His initial belief that he still had his arm required the very real experience of its continued physical pain. Once in acceptance of the loss of his arm, he was freed from the need to create the pain that had accompanied the injured arm.
Our core beliefs are formed in early childhood, where we are largely socialized by our family units. Although, as we enter adolescence we begin a powerful period of individuation, defining ourselves as individuals separate from our families, many earlier beliefs about ourselves, lodged in the subconscious mind, become foundational and influence us throughout life, despite our later maturity.
The other day, I was assigned the task of dismantling a kid’s Hot Wheel’s Track. I was left completely alone to complete the task and then join up for other activity. Within a very short period of time, I was recapitulating my young self, feeling abandoned, overwhelmed, and frustrated by a monumental task I felt inadequate to perform.
These beliefs generated an anxiety and sadness that overshadowed my effort, though my present self was quite present to the struggle and determined to have a different experience of mastery. Then I broke a piece of the structure, which nearly sent me into a familiar childhood depression. Nonetheless, I stayed present, with patience and persistence.
Eventually, Jan appeared and I shared my experience. Sure that she would know immediately how to dismantle it, she in fact became more befuddled than myself and suggested we just throw out the cheap piece of sh..! We then went on to Google the problem, only to discover that dismantling that track was a major human challenge!
This experience brought to the surface a childhood belief of inadequacy with regard to physical reality, which was suddenly challenged in a big way. In fact, I had managed, with my own intelligence, to successfully separate several difficult pieces.
While recognizing a lack of early childhood parental support and collaboration, I nonetheless am able to dislodge an earlier belief of inadequacy. In fact, a new belief has emerged. Though my expertise is in the science of the soul, and not one of a physical engineer, I nonetheless have basic competency in figuring out the basics of physical life.
I was fascinated and grateful for this opportunity to further grow out of a long-buried limiting belief. Often, we are treated with opportunities for recapitulation that bring to consciousness the power of old beliefs in generating our present physical reality.
Many people struggle with manifesting their dreams, despite ardent efforts at positive suggestions to the subconscious mind. I suggest trusting that the subconscious mind will provide synchronistic guideposts and triggers to the elixir of transformation, recapitulation of fixations in negative beliefs from past life. Be okay with them and use them to your advantage. It’s all part of the journey!
When you give something away you make room for something new to come into your life. When you let go of something in your mind you open up for new insights to come to you. When you say goodbye to old habits and behaviors that no longer have purpose in your life, you say hello to new and beneficial, healthy habits. When you let go of something that no longer is necessary, on all levels of your being, whether thoughts, habits or beliefs, you allow something new and fresh to approach you. With more room inside you for something new, and awareness that you are only going to let in that which is beneficial to you, you begin to take back your power and to own your own life once again, or perhaps for the first time ever.
