Developing a Healing
Consciousness
Once there was a person who was standing at the edge
of the water.
The person is thinking, it looks very cold and deep.
I don't know how to swim. I'm afraid to go in.
The student.
I'll try to just put my feet in into the water, that seems OK.
I'll try to go into the water up to my waist, that seems OK.
I'll try to dog paddle in the water, now this is fun.
Hey guys! Come in, the waters fine.
The teacher
The person is thinking, why does swimming feel so good?
When I am swimming I feel like I am one with the water.
The master. Anonymous
Healing Ministry
A great responsibility rest upon those who go into the spiritual healing ministry,
and of them is demanded the highest understanding. They will bring
the richest blessings to mankind,
but they will have heaped upon them all the vilification that
the human world can hurl at them.
No one should go into this spiritual ministry unless God takes
him by the nape of the
neck and pushes him into it; and even then, if he can resist the
call, he should do so.
The spiritual ministry is not his place--it is no place for anyone--unless
that inner Something insists,
"There is just no other way." All the spiritual
courage a person can muster is required to withstand the antagonism
the world has for truth and toward those who hold fast to truth.
It does not lie within anyone's capacity as a human
being to obey a spiritual call, except in proportion as the grace
of God is laid upon him because only then can he
have that greater light which is necessary.
Joel S.
Goldsmith, The Art Of Spiritual Healing,
pg 83-84
Religious Beliefs
"One way to build a foundation for consciousness is to take a look at
your actual religious beliefs. Everyone has a tie to some "religious"
system, and it
can be used as a base while giving you the freedom to find God
within yourself.
If your traditional or formal religious affiliation is helping
you, then you are on the right track
if not, then you should give some consideration to what we are
discussing right now.
I have found inspiration in all religious and spiritual
approaches.
It is not necessary for you to join any church, denomination,
or group, but it is essential
for you to establish your relationship with God within yourself
I was brought up a Methodist,
became an agnostic (or a "neglectnic"), sought solace
in Catholicism, attended various
Protestant denominations, worshiped in synagogues and mosques,
and sat at the feet of
gurus in the Himalayas; I have been instructed by masters in India,
and meditated with
Zen monks in Japan. They are all one. God is constantly revealing
Himself in everything.
It is up to you to recognize Him...
Nature is the great teacher in your life. No matter what path
you take you
will never find anything beyond what nature revels.
"I must go to India, I must go to India!" I exclaimed
to my friend and teacher, Manly Palmer Hall,
near the beginning of my intense spiritual quest. "Why do
you need to go to India?" To find God,"
I replied. "Listen," the wise philosopher counseled,
"if you can't find God in Brooklyn,
you are not going to find Him in India."...
Ask yourself, "Is the religious approach I am following
bringing me closer to God?"
If it is, go all the way with it--until it is time for you to
move ahead to the next phase of your quest.
All extant religious groups exist for a purpose; otherwise they
would die out, as so many have in the past.
Therefore, if some denomination, group, or approach continue to
function, there must be a reason for it,
and it must continue to help people, even though this help may
be only to reveal what is wrong to believe and do!
Develop your awareness and spiritual perceptiveness so that you
can detect these things for yourself.
Go Forward. Find God within yourself. Seek understanding,
awareness, inspiration, wisdom,
and enlightenment within yourself through the regular practice
of mediation, along with your outer,
objective studies. Avail yourself of the great experiences that
are available to you from within yourself...
Believe in yourself, and know that your true self will show you
the way.
Personal Realization
"I believe in myself. I know that
the life work of my personal, human self is to find my True Self.
I know that there is One Presence and One Power in the Universe,
God the Good Omnipotent,
present and active in my life and in all of my affairs.
God is all of me. I am that part of God which I
can understand."
Donald Curtis,
Helping Heaven Happen, pg46-49
What are we seeking? Is it God that we are seeking,
or are we seeking something from God?
The very moment
that we are looking for a home or companionship,
the moment we are looking for supply or employment, the moment
we are looking for healing, we are seeking amiss. Until we have
God,
we have nothing; but the very moment we have God, we have all
there
is in the world. There is no such thing as God and.
To seek for supply, health or companionship is an impossibility
spiritually,
because spiritually, there are no such things. Spiritually, there
is only God;
but in attaining God, we attain all that God is, that is, God
appearing as all form.
Let us not seek the forms of God but seek the allness of God,
and in seeking
the allness of God, we shall have all the forms necessary to our
own unfoldment.
Nothing is more important than this point: Are we seeking
a realization of God,
or are we trying to reach God in order to get something through
God?
When we come to any spiritual study, nearly always in the
beginning
we are seeking some good for ourselves. It may be a healing--physical,
mental, moral, financial--or it may be peace of mind; but whatever
it is,
as a rule, we are seeking it for ourselves.
Very quickly, however, we discover that as the light of
the Spirit touches us,
it is of benefit not only to ourselves but also to the world.
The person who is
studying and practicing the presence of God soon has no problems,
no needs,
and no desires. Those things which are necessary for his health
and supply have
a way of taking care of themselves.
God is working out Its life as our life. God is individual
life.
God is working out Its life in what appears to be the form of
our lives.
God is working out Its life as our individual consciousness.
God is working out Its plan in us and through us.
In this knowledge we relax and become beholders. It is no longer
our life:
it is God's life unfolding individually...When we desire only
a God-experience,
heaven itself will open and pour itself out at our feet in the
form of every kind of good.
Let us be expectant of a Christ-experience, of a God-experience,
expectant of some kind of a
spiritual impulse felt within. That is the demonstration we are
seeking. Getting rid of some
disease and demonstrating employment have nothing to do with a
spiritual teaching...
I seek nothing but Thee. I must know
Thee whom to know aright is life eternal.
Let me live and move and have my being in Thee, with Thee, and
I can accept
whatever else may come. What difference, then, will it make if
I have a body
or do not have a body, if I am healthy or unhealthy? '
In Thy presence is fullness of life.'"

Ananda, interview with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len

Hawaiian healing process called ho 'oponopono.
"Two years ago, I heard about a therapist
in Hawaii who cured a
complete ward of criminally insane patients--without ever
seeing any
of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart
and then look
within himself to see how he created that person's illness.
As he
improved himself, the patient improved.
"When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban
legend. How
could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could
even the
best self-improvement master cure the criminally insane?
It didn't
make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.
"However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that
the therapist
had used a Hawaiian healing process called ho 'oponopono.
I had never
heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my mind. If the
story was at
all true, I had to know more. I had always understood "total
responsibility" to mean that I am responsible for what
I think and do.
Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people
think of total
responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do,
not what
anyone else does--but that's wrong.
"The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally
ill people would
teach me an advanced new perspective about total responsibility.
His
name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent an hour
talking on
our first phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete
story of his
work as a therapist.
He explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for
four years.
That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous.
Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called
in sick a lot
or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with
their backs
against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients.
It was not a
pleasant place to live, work, or visit.
"Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed
to have an
office and to review their files. While he looked at those
files, he
would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients
began to heal.
"'After a few months, patients that had to be shackled
were being
allowed to walk freely,' he told me. 'Others who had to
be heavily
medicated were getting off their medications. And those
who had no
chance of ever being released were being freed.' I was in
awe.'Not
only that,' he went on, 'but the staff began to enjoy coming
to work.
Absenteeism and turnover disappeared. We ended up with
more staff than we
needed because patients were being released, and all the
staff was showing
up to work. Today, that ward is closed.'
"This is where I had to ask the million dollar question:
'What were
you doing within yourself that caused those people to change?'
"'I was simply healing the part of me that created them,'
he said. I
didn't understand. Dr. Len explained that total responsibility
for
your life means that everything in your life- simply because
it is in
your life--is your responsibility. In a literal sense the
entire world
is your creation.
"Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible
for what I say or
do is one thing. Being responsible for what everyone in
my life says
or does is quite another. Yet, the truth is this: if you
take complete
responsibility for your life, then everything you see, hear,
taste,
touch, or in any way experience is your responsibility because
it is
in your life. This means that terrorist activity, the president,
the
economy or anything you experience and don't like--is up
for you to
heal. They don't exist, in a manner of speaking, except
as projections
from inside you. The problem isn't with them, it's with
you, and to
change them, you have to change you.
"I know this is tough to grasp, let alone accept or
actually live.
Blame is far easier than total responsibility, but as I
spoke with Dr.
Len, I began to realize that healing for him and in ho 'oponopono
means loving yourself.
"If you want to improve your life, you have to heal
your life. If you
want to cure anyone, even a mentally ill criminal you do
it by healing
you.
"I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself.
What was he doing,
exactly, when he looked at those patients' files?
"'I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over
and over again,'
he explained.
"That's it?
"That's it.
"Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way
to improve
yourself, and as you improve yourself, you improve your
world.
"Let me give you a quick example of how this works:
one day, someone sent
me an email that upset me. In the past I would have handled
it by working
on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to reason with
the person who
sent the nasty message.
"This time, I decided to try Dr. Len's method. I kept
silently saying,
'I'm sorry' and 'I love you,' I didn't say it to anyone
in particular.
I was simply evoking the spirit of love to heal within me
what was
creating the outer circumstance.
"Within an hour I got an e-mail from the same person.
He apologized
for his previous message. Keep in mind that I didn't take
any outward
action to get that apology. I didn't even write him back.
Yet, by
saying 'I love you,' I somehow healed within me what was
creating him.
"I later attended a ho 'oponopono workshop run by
Dr. Len. He's now 70
years old, considered a grandfatherly shaman, and is somewhat
reclusive.
He praised my book, The Attractor Factor. He told me that
as I improve
myself, my book's vibration will raise, and everyone will
feel it when
they read it. In short, as I improve, my readers will improve.
"'What about the books that are already sold and out there?'
I asked.
"'They aren't out there,' he explained, once again
blowing my mind
with his mystic wisdom. 'They are still in you.' In short,
there is no
out there. It would take a whole book to explain this advanced
technique with the depth it deserves.
"Suffice It to say that whenever you want to improve
anything in your
life, there's only one place to look: inside you. When you
look, do it
with love."
The words of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len:
" Ho'oponopono is really very simple. For the ancient
Hawaiians, all
problems begin as thought. But having a thought is not
the problem. So
what's the problem? The problem is that all our thoughts
are imbued with
painful memories, memories of persons, places, or things.
The intellect working alone can't solve these problems,
because the
intellect only manages. Managing things is no way to solve
problems. You
want to let them go! When you do Ho'oponopono, what happens
is that the
Divinity takes the painful thought and neutralizes or purifies
it. You
don't purify the person, place, or thing. You neutralize
the energy you
associate with that person, place, or thing. So the first
stage of
Ho'oponopono is the purification of that energy.
Now something wonderful happens. Not only does that energy
get
neutralized; it also gets released, so there's a brand new
slate.
Buddhists call it the Void. The final step is that you allow
the Divinity
to come in and fill the void with light.
To do Ho'oponopono, you don't have to know what the problem
or error is.
All you have to do is notice any problem you are experiencing
physically,
mentally, emotionally, whatever. Once you notice, your responsibility
is
to immediately begin to clean, to say, "I'm sorry.
Please forgive me."
