Esoteric Healing - Introductory Remarks
Introductory RemarksThe entire subject of
Healing is as old as the ages themselves, and has ever been the subject of investigation
and experiment. But as to the right use of the healing faculty and forces, the knowledge
is in its infancy. Only in this age and generation is it at last possible to impart the
laws of magnetic healing, and to indicate the causes of those diseases - originating in
the three inner bodies - which today devastate the human frame, cause endless suffering
and pain, and usher man through the portal which leads to the world of bodiless existence.
Only today is man at the point in the evolution of his consciousness where he can begin to
realize the power of the subjective worlds, and the new and vast science of psychology is
his response to this growing interest. Processes of adjustment, of elimination and of cure
engage the minds of all thoughtful people as well as of all suffering people. We have much
to do, and I ask therefore for patience on your part.
When one enters the realm of healing, one enters a world of much esoteric knowledge,
and of an infinity of conclusions, and one is faced with the formulations of many minds,
who, through the ages, have sought to heal and to help. The why and the wherefore of
disease have been the subject of endless investigations and speculations, and much
definite deduction has been made as to the cures of such complaints; there has been also
much formulation of methods, of techniques, of formulae, of prescription, of varied
manipulations and of [2] theories. All these serve to fill the mind with many ideas - some
correct, some erroneous - and this makes it most difficult for new ideas to enter and for
the student to assimilate the hitherto unknown.
Aspirants
lose much by refusing to let go of that which the lower mind cherishes. When they do
succeed in being entirely open minded and are ready to accept the new theories and
hypotheses, they discover that the old and dearly held truth is not really lost, but only
relegated to its rightful place in a larger scheme.
All initiates of the Ageless Wisdom are necessarily healers, though all may not heal
the physical body. The reason for this is that all souls that have achieved any measure of
true liberation are transmitters of spiritual energy. This automatically affects some
aspect of the mechanism which is used by the souls they contact. When I employ the word
"mechanism" in these instructions I refer to different aspects of the
instrument, the body or form nature, through which all souls seek manifestation. I refer,
therefore, to:
The dense physical body, which is the sumtotal of all the organisms which compose
it; these possess the varying functions which enable the soul to express itself on the
physical or objective plane as part of a greater and more inclusive organism. The physical
body is the response apparatus of the indwelling spiritual man and serves to put that
spiritual entity en rapport with the response apparatus of the planetary Logos, the Life
in which we live and move and have our being.
The etheric body, which has one main objective. This is to vitalize and energize
the physical body and thus integrate it into the energy body of the Earth and of the solar
system. It is a web of energy streams, of lines of force and of light. It constitutes part
of the vast [3] network of energies which underlies all forms whether great or small
(microcosmic or macrocosmic). Along these lines of energy the cosmic forces flow, as the
blood flows through the veins and arteries. This constant, individual - human, planetary
and solar - circulation of life-forces through the etheric bodies of all forms is the
basis of all manifested life, and the expression of the essential non-separateness of all
life.
The astral or desire body (sometimes called the emotional body) is the effect of
the interplay of desire and of sentient response upon the self at the center, and the
resultant effect - in that body - is experienced as emotion and as pain and pleasure and
the other pairs of opposites. In these two bodies, the etheric and astral bodies, ninety
percent of the causes of physical disease and troubles is to be found.
The mental body, or that much of the chitta or mind stuff which an individual
human unit can use and impress, constitutes the fourth of the series of mechanisms at the
disposal of the soul. At the same time let it not be forgotten that these four constitute
one mechanism. Five percent of all modern disease originates in this body or state of
consciousness, and here I wish to enunciate the truth that the constant reiteration by
certain schools of healers that the mind is the cause of all sickness is not as yet a
fact. A million years hence, when the focus of human attention has shifted from the
emotional nature to the mind, and when men are essentially mental as today they are
essentially emotional, then the causes of disease must be sought in the mind realm.
They are today to be found (except in a few rare cases) in lack of vitality or in too much
stimulation, and in the realm of feeling, of desires (thwarted or over-indulged) and in
the moods, suppressions, or expressions of the deep seated [4] longings, irritations,
secret delights and the many hidden impulses which emanate from the desire life of the
subject.
This urge to be and to have has first of all built, and is building, the outer physical
response apparatus, and is today forcing a mechanism that has been constructed essentially
for physical ends, to serve more subjective purposes. This again produces trouble, and
only when man realizes that within the outer physical sheath there exist other bodies
which serve more subtle response purposes will we see the gradual readjustment and health
of the physical body. With these more subtle sheaths we shall later deal.
You naturally ask here: What is the general plan which I shall seek to follow as I
instruct you in the laws of healing, those laws which guide the initiates and must
gradually supersede the more physical methods of the present art of healing? You naturally
also seek to know what is the special technique which you - as healers - must learn to
employ, both as regards yourselves and as regards those you seek to heal. I will briefly
outline the teaching I shall endeavor to give and point out where you must lay the
emphasis, as you commence the study of this subject.
