Mechanics and Consciousness

Sometimes there seems to be a war among healers, between the masters of mechanics and those who seek to function from the realm of pure possibility. Many are the modalities of subtle energies, of chakras and meridians. and few are the scientists of the potency of consciousness and its possibilities.

The healing systems run the gamut from those who work with nutrition and homeopathic remedies, to those that work with Psionic devices including crystals, radionics, tuning forks, etc., and those who work with personified energies as spirit guides and those like myself who (though not exclusively) explore the less tangible realms of pure consciousness and are content to get what we get in the spirit of investigation.

This last realm of consciousness exploration is as yet barely investigated and historically the province of the mystics. And as one interested in healing, I search it not because it has yielded the the most surgically precise results but because my path is to know the source condition of creation and the potential of Spirit, to use some rather nebulous terms.

Consider the view that bodies are cocoons and meant to be discarded when their job is done. A radical idea to many. In Eastern traditions this is related to the description of the world as becoming mirage like - a subjective reflection of the rarification of the gross energy components and eventual objective dismantling into the more subtle "rainbow body."

In this view we are neither a light body nor chakras or a meridian system any more than we are a brain. All these things are perhaps only machinery built to do what we have forgotten how. Not that this game is without merit - children love to play with toys and creators love to invent. Yet none of this machinery nor its mechanics nor the yogas or systems of healing supersede the "I" of the "One we are" in it's omnipotence.

Using an ancient model; the Bliss body, the bodies mental and emotional, or of subtle energies or of flesh are temporal and thus but an optional expression of the play of "I" - which some assure bears no energy signature nor is it in need of a form to assert its creative potency.

Being attentive to the bodies - their sensations, emotions, and attitudes -  will reveal exactly what needs to be released - into THE RELEASE OF THE BODIES THEMSELVES. Bodies, celestial or biological are a delicate balance of opposing forces - of stressors. Perhaps this is why Jesu said the body(s) are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. The temple however is in the end a housing, a landmark and the Spirit is not diminished in its passing away. Even the ego is but the machinery of mind whereas the Self is existent a priori as Peace.

And pragmatically, from the point of view of mechanics there is no end to the things we find we need to heal. We may even make them up if we run out of things to fix, to keep the game going - to maintain the tension sufficient for life.  The way out is discovered in the resolution of the issue of identity - Self knowledge. Some get this faster than others. Self knowledge reveals a freedom from mechanics, yet also a freedom to create or re-create  conditioned experience. Neither view is incorrect if awareness assumes response-ability - assumes cause.

 It does take a tolerance for insecurity to venture into this area of the unknown. Our identity is affixed to the realms of mechanics (even if it is called quantum mechanics) Yet in the end this intuition of absolute freedom is what I follow as a contemplative or healer.
