Change Your Beliefs -- Change Your Health

To many people in the Western world Metaphysical Healing is akin to voodoo, quackery, complete fantasy or lunacy. In China, Japan, India and other Eastern countries Metaphysical Healing has been the primary medical practice for thousands of years. Metaphysical Healing is becoming more recognized in the western world. However, it is primarily considered a last resort approach, whereas, in Eastern countries Western Medicine is considered a last resort approach.

Understanding Metaphysical Healing is shockingly simple, yet for the Western mind, it is analogues to asking someone to cut off their leg and watch themselves bleed to death. The Healing that is referred to is, in keeping with all known traditional practices and what is beginning to be understood scientifically, is referred to as Energy Healing or Spiritual Healing.

Spiritual Healing has existed since the beginning of time amid religious beliefs and practices, along with the mystery, superstition, fear, and misunderstanding. Spiritual or Energy Healing is now becoming recognized regardless of what anyone chooses to believe or think. Ask almost anyone about their spiritual well being and they will probably tell you, "Yeah, I do my spiritual healing in church". Therein the confusion arises out of the association of healing with religion and the spiritual. The majority of people do not understand the difference.

The definition of "HEAL" means, 1. To restore to health or soundness, 2. To set right, repair, 3. To restore a person to spiritual wholeness, 4. To become whole and sound, to return to health.

The definition of "SPIRIT" means, 1. The vital principle or animating force within living beings, Incorporeal consciousness. There are about twelve more elaborations mostly to do with various religious implications.

The definition of "RELIGION" means, 1. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe, 2. A set of beliefs, values and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

Thus, based on these common interpretations of how things 'ARE', many paradoxes are created. The resultant effect is confusion and un-wellness. The Truth, as Carl Jung and others have carefully worded in their writing, is this: Every Thing in the universe is Energy and Consciousness. How anyone thinks or feels about that Fact cannot change it. The purpose of All religions is the recognition that humans have a part of themselves that is not physical and there is a need to explore and experience this aspect of themselves. Part of the intent is to discover one's purpose and to live in the best way possible, part of that goal also includes the attainment of Truth and Spiritual Wellness. However, the result with regard to our Spiritual health has been anabysmal failure. If the most important aspect of our being is our Spiritual self, it is a miracle we have existed this long.

Currently, many churches are in a state of extreme confusion in an attempt to avoid accepting the Truth. The greatest struggle is how to incorporate all the now known knowledge and assimilate it into their dogma and theology. The problem is the impossibility of reconciling the obvious flaws in most theology and doctrine. The obvious shortcomings and how political and nationalistic and other special interests and agendas have resulted in a history filled with disappointment and tragedy.

The majority of ministers and individuals who have spent a lifetime in religious practice have never had a Spiritual Experience, or if they had a Spiritual Experience they were unable to accept it for what it was-thus its significance was lost. For many having a Spiritual Experience has only created confusion, because if they told anyone, they would be considered weird, psychotic, or hallucinating. How tragic-as we are Spiritual Beings having a human experience, and we are Human Beings having Spiritual Experiences. Churches are full of believers and few knowers. In speaking with one minister, I asked him what would happen if one Sunday morning he got up before his congregation and told them the "Truth."
