СКАЧАТЬ on choices we make on the level of our Higher Self, which decides what lessons we need to learn for our own soul growth and greater understanding.

      Our human mind cannot fully comprehend the karmic choices that we make on the higher planes. We simply need to trust that all is designed to advance us on our paths. We can, however, work toward transcending our karma by actively pursuing the lesson we have set out to learn. Once we learn the lesson, once we heal the issue we have had, within ourselves and/or with another person, there is no need to perpetuate a particular karmic drama. When a student has learned the material, he or she can move on.

      Balancing of karma with another person may occur solely on the higher planes. Restitution or balancing on the material plane is not necessary. As the veils between the higher and lower planes are lifting, access to the higher planes can be achieved ever more easily. This now allows us to heal and release much of our karma in other ways than the path of suffering that seemed so inevitable in the past. We are, indeed, at the threshold of a new time that allows us to close the books of the past. More easily than ever before, we now have the opportunity to choose to leave our karma behind and begin a new book altogether, rather than add yet another chapter to the old story.

      Co-creation and Manifestation

      Many have heard the formula that “you create your own reality.” While this has become a mantra-like staple of New Age thought, it is an idea not well understood. When we find ourselves in a painful situation, we may doubt that we really chose to experience such pain. No matter what we proclaim, when we become really miserable and uncomfortable, we tend to see ourselves as victims of adverse circumstances or actions, feeling that others have wronged us, by life, or by God. After all, who would have chosen to go through such an experience?

      And yet, there are no victims, we do have free will, and we are the creators or our own reality. The choices, however, aren’t necessarily conscious choices of our human mind. These choices may have been made in other lifetimes or before we entered this incarnation. Or they may have been made by our Higher Self in the interest of balancing karma or progressing in the school of life. Remember, comfort is not an important concept for our Higher Self -- but soul growth and expansion is.

      It is the Higher Self that chooses a set of parents, relatives, and the time, place and circumstances into which we incarnate. Although some may argue that such a setup places limitations on our choices, there is still ample room for choice all along the way. In fact, in every moment we determine the level of frequency of our thoughts and feelings, and there are myriad opportunities to choose actions, thoughts, feelings, and intentions. And each choice has consequences, whether they are limited to the subtle planes or manifest on the material plane. Rather than thinking in terms of “predetermination,” it would be more fitting to speak of a “context” in which the human mind operates and chooses at each moment -- in concert and continuous communication with our Higher Self and the human minds and Higher Selves of others.

      So far we have only spoken of choices, as if we had been placed in a giant supermarket with the task of choosing our menu, to the best of our abilities. But this is still a limited concept. To stay in the picture, consider that we are actually co-creating the supermarket itself! Let me try to explain this idea in a metaphor: The world around each individual is like a hologram, or a movie, projected from the center (the individual) onto a spherical screen around that individual. It is part of the grand scheme that we tend to have little awareness of our role as projectionist in the center of our own personal movie theater. Instead, we perceive things as going on “out there” on the screen like a child who gets caught up in a dramatic movie. In reality, the movie originates in the projectionist’s booth -- not on the screen where we see it happening.

      In a previous chapter, we stated that all of creation is vibration, or Light, and that we are indeed beings of Light. Keeping this fundamental premise in mind, let us continue with the “movie theater projectionist” metaphor: Instead of using light from a light bulb, we use the Light coming from Infinite Source through our Higher Self. Instead of mirrors, prisms, and a strip of celluloid, we use the human energy field, especially the chakras, which can be likened to lenses overlaid with a stack of transparencies, or movie frames. Each chakra contains information imprinted upon it through present and past choices and experiences. We filter the Light coming from our Higher Self through the human energy field and project it onto the screen around us, thus creating our own personal movie experience.

      To illustrate this process, let us briefly describe the past life experiences of a 15-year-old male client. This young man had an extensive history of injuries to the head through accidents, dog bites, etc. Initially, he was reluctant to explore what may have been the underlying energetic pattern that resulted in repeated injuries to the same body part. With a little bit of encouragement while working in Inner Space, he was ultimately willing to look into the matter and soon entered a time stream of a recent past life [We will discuss the topic of past life trauma in Chapter 17.]. In that lifetime he was a soldier who was killed on the battlefield by shrapnel that had struck his head. He was able to receive very clear images and to go back to the time preceding his lethal injury. I asked him to perceive his energetic body in that lifetime, and he noticed that the head region showed significant energetic disturbances even before he sustained the head injury (stemming from experiences we do not need to explain at this point). He then stated that it seemed as if the shrapnel had been magnetically attracted by the negativity in his head region. Thus, what looked like an “accident” from the outside was actually a manifestation of an energetic disturbance from within.

      The observation of this 15-year-old client is by far not singular. In fact, many of our clients are able to perceive repetitive patterns of energetic disturbances through several lifetimes, often resulting in injury or death in past lives and repeated injuries of the same body region in the present life. This observation illustrates that we are indeed the creators of our experiences, and that manifestation originates first on the subtle planes -- which is, of course, one of the most central metaphysical tenets.

      Toward a New Paradigm of Healing

      This book is about “healing,” and it is time to examine and define what this means from a metaphysical perspective (the clinical and technical details will be discussed in the main body of this book). Healing simply means to shift the balance of energies within an energy field (human or otherwise) toward harmony and higher vibrations, or, conversely, to reduce the prevalence of disharmony and lower vibrations. As there are no “empty spaces” in an energy field, one shift goes hand in hand with the other.

      Having given this fundamental definition, we can move on to some basic points about healing:

      (1) All illness and dis-ease, be it mental, emotional or physical, is an expression of an energetic imbalance or disharmony. As all manifestation “steps down” from the subtle to the denser levels of vibration, the presence of a disease indicates an imbalance on the subtle levels.

      (2) Healing is a manifestation of increased balance and harmony; as with all manifestations, it, too, originates on the subtle planes. There is no essential difference between physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual healing.

      (3) Higher levels of vibration are more harmonious and thus more healing than lower levels. Higher vibrations can be experienced as love, joy, peace, happiness, forgiveness, gratitude, bliss, etc. Lower vibrations are associated with the experience of anger, depression, fear, guilt, shame, greed, etc. The highest levels of vibration are customarily called the spiritual levels.

      (4) Effective healing occurs when a more harmonious energy field interacts with a less harmonious frequency, resulting in a transmutation from lower to higher frequency.

      (5) An effective healer is someone who channels or emits more harmonious energies СКАЧАТЬ
