Esoteric Healing - Chapter IV - The Basic Requirements for Healing





You will note that the various words I have chosen in
considering the basic requirements have been so chosen for their specific meanings:
The Work of Restitution signifies the returning of the form to the basic
reservoir of substance; or of the soul, the divine spiritual energy, returning to its
source - either on soul or monadic levels, according to the point [395] in evolution. This
restitution is predominantly the work of the human soul within the physical body and
involves both the heart and the head centers.
The Art of Elimination. This refers to two activities of the inner spiritual man;
i.e., the elimination of all control by the threefold lower man, and the process of
refocusing itself upon the concrete levels of the mental plane as a point of radiant
light. This concerns primarily the human soul.
The Processes of Integration. These deal with the work of the liberated spiritual
man as he blends with the soul (the oversoul) upon the higher levels of the mental plane.
The part returns to the whole, and the man comprehends the true meaning of the words of
Krishna, "Having pervaded this whole universe with a fragment of myself, I
remain." He, too, the conscious experiencing fragment which has pervaded the little
universe of the form in the three worlds, still remains. He knows himself to be a part of
the whole.

These three processes are Death.
It will be obvious to you that when humanity attains this outlook upon the fact of
death or the art of dying, the entire attitude of the race of men will undergo beneficent
change. This will be paralleled, as time elapses, by a rapport between men upon telepathic
levels; men will be steadily growing in intelligence, and humanity will be increasingly
focused upon mental levels. This telepathic rapport will be a common and ordinary
phenomenon of which modern spiritualism is the guarantee, though the distortion (and a
very serious distortion) is largely based on humanity's wishful thinking, with very little
true telepathy to be found in it. The telepathy which is present today between
the [396] medium (in or out of trance) and the bereaved relative or friend is not between
the one who has experienced the release of death and the one who is still in form. This
should be remembered. In the interim where mind is not normally telepathic, there may be
(though there very seldom is) the interposition of a mediumship based upon clairvoyance
and clairaudience, but not upon trance. This will still necessitate a contact via a
third party, and will be entirely astral; it will therefore be full of glamor and error.
It will, however, be a step forward from the present mediumistic performances which simply
ignore the man who is dead and give to the enquirer only what the medium reads in his aura
- his recollection of the personal appearance, significant remembrances stored in the
enquirer's consciousness, and wishful thinking anent advice demanded because the enquirer
believes that because a man is dead he must be more wise than heretofore. When the medium
at times succeeds in establishing true communication, it is because the enquirer and the
dead person are mental types, and there is therefore a true telepathic rapport between
them which the medium intercepts.
The race is progressing, developing and becoming increasingly mental. The relation
between the dead and the living must and will be upon mental levels, prior to the
processes of integration; the true severance of communication will come when the human
soul is reabsorbed into the oversoul, prior to again reincarnating. The fact of
communication up to that time will, however, completely destroy the fear of death. In the
case of disciples working in a Master's Ashram, even this process of integration will
constitute no barrier. In the next few pages I will give some teaching on what might be
called the art of dying and so expand what I said in A Treatise on White Magic. [397]
