Esoteric Healing - Chapter VIII - The Laws and Rules Enumerated and
Applied





Application of the Laws and RulesIn the
last few pages I greatly clarified the issue by indicating - even at the risk of somewhat
discouraging you - certain of the essential requirements of the healer in the New Age, and
also certain of the contacts which he will have to make with facility and promptness when
attempting to heal. I likewise defined for you the nature of Law. This was preliminary to
a consideration of the Laws to which the healer must conform and the Rules which he will
automatically and intuitively obey. We might consider these Laws and Rules in relation to
the healer and also in relation to each other, for several of the Rules are closely
related to a Law which controls the healer.
From the definition of law, as given above, it will be apparent to you that in the last
analysis disease, death, untruth, falsity and despair are inherent in the planet itself,
because our planetary Logos (as I earlier stated when aiding H.P.B. in writing The
Secret Doctrine) is an "imperfect God." After the present great world
crisis, incident to our planetary Logos having moved forward upon the cosmic Path, and
therefore having taken a cosmic initiation, His imperfections are demonstrably lessened;
there will be less distress and disease on earth once the necessary planetary [537]
adjustments have been made. This you yourselves will not see take place, for adjustments
on such a large scale take centuries to effect. What I have, therefore, to say upon the
future healing of disease will not be of practical value for a long time to come, but the
theory and the indications of possibility must be considered and discussed. Also, for a
long time, medical practice and surgical knowledge will play their useful parts in
preventive medicine, alleviative practices and curative processes. To these increasingly
will be added many psychological methods of healing, and these will go hand in hand with
the two above; to these again the services of the spiritual healers will be added. In this
way, a rounded-out approach to the whole man will be steadily developed, and the need for
this is today recognized by forward thinking physicians everywhere. Thus, and also through
the method of trial and error, much will be learnt.
The healing
processes I outline and indicate through these Laws and Rules are basically new. They are
not based on affirmations, as in Christian Science and other mental healing cults; they
are not posited on affirmed origins and on claiming results which will only be possible
when the race has reached a far higher standard of perfection than is at present seen or
that is immediately capable of development. As I have several times said in this treatise,
there is nothing fundamentally wrong in the claims made by these groups and organizations
anent the man who has arrived at soul expression and at realization of the Christ
consciousness. What is wrong is the claim that the ordinary man (obviously not at this
advanced point in evolution) can perform these miracles of healing either in himself or
for others. Very few people have as yet reached this point, and the healer in these cults
and organizations who has done so is a rarity indeed. The healer in the New Age will
recognize limitation and conditioning circumstances, plus destiny. This predisposes the
[538] development within him of knowledge-giving powers. He is also spiritually aware that
the healing of the physical body is not always the highest spiritual good; the
over-estimation and serious, anxious care of the form life, of the physical vehicle, is not
of major importance.
The healer
in the New Age does not and will not work directly with the physical body at all; being an
occultist, he will regard that body as not a principle. He works practically entirely with
the etheric body and with the vital energies, leaving those energies to make their impact
on the automaton of the physical body according to directed intent; they will then produce
their effect according to the response of that body, conditioned as it will be by many
factors. These energies, directed via the etheric body of the patient, or emanating from
that body, may bring about a cure if the destiny of the patient permits, or they
may so stimulate the area of the disease that the disease will be brought to a crisis and
the patient will die. This often happens under the ministrations of cultist healers who
are ignorant of the laws of healing and who base their activities on a realization of a
present (though usually unexpressed) divinity.
A much higher measure of spiritual perception and of mental understanding is required
before the system I propose becomes effective. All that I give in my writings is largely
of a pioneer nature, and this should be remembered.
