FIVE GREAT HEALERS SPEAK HERE
questions might be asked of a few of the great healers of proven talent, in order to find out where they agree in their methods and thinking or how their ideas differ. By this process a common denominator or foundation could be found. We also wanted to discover whether the art of healing could be learned.
We mentioned the concept to some healers who were enthusiastic about the project and eager to be of help to all who aspire to develop their healing powers in the service of others. The questions and subquestions were then developed in detail in an effort to cover the subject fully. The replies of the five healers seemed to us important and illuminating.
This project opened the way for us to get better acquainted with our healers. We will share our impressions of these unusual and dedicated people in the chapters that follow, along with biographical sketches of them, preceding their own words.
As these five great healing channels speak to us on the pages of this book, their thoughts and individual techniques should bring us closer to an understanding of how their powers are exercised, and perhaps answer the question: Can miraculous healing be learned by any dedicated student? The power to heal may turn out to be a higher energy which we can all use but fail to actualize because of doubt and neglect. Encouraged by the wisdom of these five healers and the reality of their experience, we may discover and practice using the healing energy, and find it is our birthright. The compassionate effort in itself will strengthen the giver and in time—the receiver.
