________________ 64 FIVE GREAT HEALERS SPEAK HERE bring in intellectual assessments, and I think that can often lead to many unnecessary difficulties. If there is one danger, I suggest it might be the development of ideas that healing has to do with human skills as distinct from being channels through which the infinite perfection of God can shine. There is, in truth, an overall healing principle which is constantly at work. We live in the midst of miracles as part of the life structure itself. A cut finger heals by an inward process of the spirit motivating the various cellular structures of the body. The entire system has its own inbuilt, subconscious and conscious motivations towards the maintenance of health and well-being and the healing of sickness when it arises. Spiritual healing, in all its forms, merely moves to a higher dimension of consciousness which often greatly accelerates the natural healing process. Increasingly, and with ever more intensive awareness, I realize that all is spirit, all is consciousness, and that this is the basic factor in all healing of mind and body. In this sense I cannot adequately attempt definition of these various aspects which other people with much greater authority in their own experience may be able to define. Are These Gifts Mutually Exclusive or Can the Healer Use Any Method at Will? I am aware, of course, that many people in many ministries adopt or are involved in a vast variety of healing techniques. It is also interesting to note that healing takes place in all these ministries! It would seem, therefore, that there is no exclusive pattern. It would almost seem that the moment anyone opens an aperture of love, faith, prayer, or awareness of something beyond human power, then the spirit floodlights through the aperture to help and bless, irrespective and regardless of the definition of the healer, the method, or the technique.
