Understanding Healing

When we decide to heal ourselves and start walking on the path of healing before we can heal, before we can change, we have to know what it is we are dealing with. All healing is about bringing imbalances into balance. This inevitably involves bringing out 'toxins' to be expelled and bringing deep imbalances to the surface to be dealt with. But we can't individually deal with every problem ourselves, not are we individually responsible for every problem, as we are not necessarily touched by every problem directly.

What we are responsible for is dealing with the issues which face us every day in our personal realm of responsibility. And if we are aware of the wider issues we can ensure that what we do within our own personal realm of responsibility does not impact on a wider basis and feed the problems and imbalances of others, thereby making us karmically responsible for those issues too. But just like cogs in a great machine, everyone's realm of responsibility links in and overlaps with those of others and what we do always has a knock-on effect.

Therefore, the priority for us all is to ensure that our own house is in order before we can extend our influence to the wider issues. And so often, when this happens, certain things which once seemed to be almost insurmountable obstacles can resolve suddenly quite easily, or are no longer the enormous scary monster they used to appear to be.

So, what has to be done?

The simple answer to that question, from my perspective, is that I cannot tell anyone what to do. It is not my role, nor is it within my power, to instruct individuals how to lead their lives. My philosophy is that finding the answer to that very question is one of the main purposes of living.

We are all unique individuals with unique life experiences and abilities; our responsibilities are ours alone and therefore we all have to come to our own realizations through self-analysis. We have to weigh ourselves in the balance and judge our own actions against our inner spirit. I believe I am ultimately responsible for what I do. At the end of the day it is what I do, how I do it and the intent with which I do it which will determine the outcome.

I feel this applies to everyone equally. What works for me will not work for everyone else. I can only give my own personal viewpoint which others can take and act upon it in their own way, or reject as they see fit.

The truth is that we are all here to work. We have all come to manifest the spirit in a physical experience. None of us came to be a mere cog in a System which is operated for us from outside of our influence. Each and every one of us came from a Source in which we were all equal and have chosen to manifest the experience of a reality based upon inequality. We did not incarnate to experience lives of irrelevancy!

I and others, here and elsewhere, have documented the many ways in which our infinite spirit has been subjugated by forces which rely on our subservience to materialism in order to control us. But the simple fact is, no matter what forces exist to prevent us from realizing it, we are still a part of the same Source as ever we were and have equal relevance from this perspective as any other individual soul incarnate in this world, no matter how much they would try to pull the wool over our eyes to divorce us from this fact.

At our spiritual core, we are all identical; we are all One. However, because we have clothed ourselves in matter of so many different form and placed ourselves into experiences so diverse, many of us have forgotten where we came from and identify with the cloth rather than the being which resides within it. We look outside of ourselves for the answers, to the world of difference, rather than to the world within which is where we are all truly equal.

so let us all start our journey to our spiritual core and the only way I am aware of synchronizing with our core self is through Love! of the unconditional kind, that accepts things or people for what they are, and gives of itself what it feels is needed. It accepts others for who they are, yet isn't afraid to challenge and admonish where necessary. This same principle applies to itself as it does to others. It requires absolute honesty and it gives purpose and energy to life and to experiences that may sometimes be painful, and sometimes enjoyable.

Love is the answer! That is what we can do to make a difference!
