The Early Years
The greatest adventure you will ever have
is the journey into your own heart.
Louix Dor Dempriey was born at 7:40 p.m. on Sunday, 17 December 1961, in Somerville, Massachusetts, U.S.A. He was named Louis Bonanno, the third of four children of Italian-American parents.
As a child, Louix’s Divine qualities were evident. He demonstrated immense compassion for His fellow human beings, animals, and plants. Wild animals frequently came to Him, and He often brought home injured animals and nursed them back to health. It was in the quietude of Nature where He would experience His most profound communion with the Divine.
Jesus physically appeared before Him at the age of five, to prophesy two critical turning points in His life, and to prepare Him for what was to come. By age ten, His insight and wisdom belied His age, and people of all ages and from different walks of life were already seeking His counsel for their personal problems. Louix also achieved academic excellence throughout His schooling and displayed a level of maturity and responsibility beyond His years.
Young Adulthood
By following one’s heart—that small, still, silent voice—
one is inextricably tethered into the heart, mind, and will of God,
even without knowing what it is.
Throughout His life, He entertained others with His wit, creativity, and performing talents. After graduating from Bentley College in 1983 with degrees in Economics/Finance and Accounting, He moved to New York City to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, pursuing His childhood dream to become an actor. A near-fatal bout with food poisoning both terminated His cherished studies and, through a serendipitous turn of events, secured His first starring role in a feature film. In 1986, His burgeoning career brought Him to Hollywood, where He appeared in several films and television programs. By the late 80’s, He was riding a wave of success in all areas of His life.
Spiritual Training
Everything that happens to you is for the sole purpose of
your own God-realization.
In May of 1990, Louix experienced a very powerful kundalini awakening, which sent Him straight into samadhi (a state of Divine bliss). Instantly activated were many siddhas (Divine powers/abilities) that had lain dormant within Him. For more than a week He experienced total omniscience and did not eat or sleep, so powerful was the current of Love coursing through His being.
In February of 1992, following a string of miraculous events, and in answer to His prayers for Divine guidance, Louix had an encounter with four Ascended Masters. Soon thereafter, He renounced the material world and began training in earnest with the Masters in The Ancient Mystery School, fulfilling one of the prophecies spoken to Him by Jesus at the age of five.
Within two months, Louix was able to enter a conscious trance (bhava samadhi) and physically presence Ascended Masters and other celestial beings within His own form. In April of 1992, He was bequeathed the name Louix Dor Dempriey, which means "Behold! I give you the Kingdom of Heaven."
During four years of rigorous Initiate training, nearly 100 Avatars, Masters, angels, and saints physically materialized within and before Him to accelerate the realization of His full Divinity.
Enlightenment
Divinity reveals itself from within the self,
where it lies dormant until such time
as the soul is ready and willing to externalize it.
Louix Dor Dempriey attained Enlightenment on 7 March 1996. One year later, Paramahansa Yogananda appeared before Him to herald the opening of Louix’s first ashram, Prema Drala, which means "The Grace of God." In October of that same year, Paramahansaji appeared again, this time placing His right hand upon Louix’s head and anointing Him with the Sanskrit name Sri Pranananda, which translates as "Most Beloved Breath of God."
Global Family
Love takes on whatever form it needs
to reach you, to touch you, and to draw you unto Itself.
A few years after the opening of His first ashram, Louix’s ministry spread to other countries. There are currently three ashrams in Australia: Sundara Aravinda in Melbourne, Prana Shakti in Hobart, and Sathya Sananda in Sydney. The world headquarters, Prema Drala, where Louix resides, is currently located in Southern California. There are also study groups in Chicago and New York, U.S.A.; Hamilton, New Zealand; and Vancouver, Canada.
In 2007, the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation was founded as a non-profit educational organization dedicated to sharing Louix’s teachings and humanitarian works. The Foundation’s mission is to help people remember and restore their inherent divinity, and to walk in this world as unconditional love.
Louix Dor Dempriey’s global family is constantly expanding, inspired by a common vision for personal transformation, self-mastery, and dedication to humanitarian and environmental causes. Louix’s many ashrams, retreats, pilgrimages, and public appearances provide additional opportunities for people to experience His eternal love, wisdom, and joy.
How can we purify ourselves?
Q: How can we purify ourselves?
A: There are four levels of creation for which every human being is responsible: thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds. You need to look at all four levels of creation and be totally honest with yourself—something very few people will do—about the amount, and the purity, of love that you invest into those four levels in every single moment of your day. There are many excuses people use to justify their own non-loving thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds. Ultimately, there needs to come a time when a person can stand in front of the mirror and be that honest. The heart always knows the truth.
There must come a time when accountability, honesty, and integrity are restored. Only you can do that for yourself. To purify the self means to make a conscious choice and a mature, responsible commitment to change any part of your non-loving creations, on any of the four levels, into loving ones. To do this takes tremendous amounts of discipline, courage, tenacity, and perseverance.
The moment the pain of inauthenticity
surpasses the comfort of inauthenticity,
change happens.
Once a shift is made into that mantle of consciousness, change is imminent and victory is guaranteed! It is a very simple formula. The rules are not difficult. You will only create difficulty in following them if you are more comfort-oriented than growth-oriented.
The pursuit of comfort and the pursuit of growth
are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive.
The Evolution of Consciousness
| You were created in God’s image as pure love, to be love, receive love, and spread love— all the days of your life. |
| – Louix Dor Dempriey |
People who hold themselves as unlovable attack whenever they receive love, and the intensity of the attack is always commensurate with the amount of love received.
The God-surrogate/transference dynamic of the human psyche is what makes people expect and unconsciously demand to be treated the way their parents treated them.
As few parents have retained their innate and God-given ability to love unconditionally—it having been crushed and/or programmed out of them when they were children—most people grow to misinterpret conditional love, judgment, criticism, and even abuse as being unconditional love, through the God-transference dynamic.
It only follows, then, that (as adults) all acts of unconditional love received can only be interpreted as “violations” (until, of course, that negative programming has been transcended and reversed) and, therefore, must be punished.
Gaining awareness is the access to power.
Applying the awareness is the attainment of power.
The cure is achieved through concerted discipline in constantly affirming one’s natural state as being one that is whole and loving, one’s God-given right and worthiness to receive love, and in affirming humanity’s natural predisposition and desire to always and only love unconditionally.
This, in turn, not only re-programs the mental and emotional bodies, but also magnetizes spontaneous kind and loving acts, which now can be easily recognized, welcomed, and received in grace.
These acts are now able to stimulate and activate the divinely-inherent love mechanism, born into all humans, to respond in kind, thus fostering and perpetuating unconditional love throughout the world and within one’s own life—achieving and fulfilling God’s will for all Creation.
The God-transference dynamic
All souls, pre-incarnation, live in the constant and omnipresent love and company of their Lord God and Creator.
Because only the superconscious (I Am) awareness is maintained at birth, the conscious and most of the unconscious states having been erased, every child is born with a fully cellular knowing of its Divine parentage and—now in a physical form—very readily and instantly recognizes (the innocent but dangerous misinterpretation) and accepts its earthly parents (biological, adoptive, guardians and/or all other first and/or primary caregivers) as God—not as surrogates or substitutes for God, but as God itself—in much the same way that many newly-born animals will recognize and accept the first living creature they see as their true parents.
And since every soul and, therefore, child knows that God is infallible and wholly, unconditionally loving, any and all acts performed by the earthly parents are likewise interpreted and known by the child to be ones of unconditional love.
Then, as parents continue to place conditions upon the love they give, to judge, criticize, hit, and otherwise hurt their children—wittingly and unwittingly—all children know ought else but to accept these as God’s own acts, which can only, by definition, be ones of unconditional love.
Now incarnated and very quickly having a new definition of the unconditional love they knew and received pre-incarnating, people grow to expect, demand, and therefore create this same behavior and treatment from others in their lives—particularly in all intimate and/or long-term relationships.
Because all children, however, also retain the soul’s knowingness of the true, unconditional love that they received from God prior to incarnation, whenever they experience non-love or conditional love from their parents, an internal conflict arises.
Since God can only love unconditionally, and since the earthly parents are God in the child’s eyes and heart and, therefore, are infallible too, all non-loving behaviors and acts committed by the parents must—as far as the child is concerned—be due to, and blamed upon, what (in the child’s innocent eyes, heart, and mind) can only be the child’s own fallible, unlovable, and non-loving state of being.
Thus sets in place the programming by which all human beings define themselves and create their lives, until such time as the soul can and will no longer tolerate the absurdity of these terms and conditions.
At that moment, the spiritual “awakening” occurs, and the “seeker” is born.
The Restoration
What then follows—as ones gain greater and greater awareness and remembrance of their true, divine nature, and learn and practice the many tools to perfectly assist their de-mummification process—is the gradual (re) emergence of their divine and unconditionally-loving state of being.
When one’s consciousness has reached the 50%-saturation of being pure, unconditional love, one crosses the threshold known as “Enlightenment” and is forever liberated from living in the illusion of believing that one is, or ever was, separate from God.
At this point, a quantum shift occurs, now that the gravity called Fear no longer holds dominion in one’s life. As Love is now the gravity which sustains one’s embodiment on Earth, the divine restoration (ascension) process now becomes highly accelerated. Fears and distortions are now easily recognized, transmuted, and transcended, and love is likewise easily recognized, welcomed, and created at every turn.
As there are as many levels, or tiers, of illuminated consciousness as there are within a consciousness which lives in Separation, once the enlightened being has completed the process of refining his/her remaining distortions, the rest of one’s life is spent refining his/her refinements, for God is infinite love, infinitely and ever expanding through the greater awareness of love attained by every cell of outer Creation in every moment of this ascension process. And since you were created in God’s image and are—in essence and therefore by definition—God, yourself, the same is true for you.
So… what happens, one wonders, when the Cosmic ascension process is complete? The answer is simple: That question—and its origin—no longer exist.

“My Forever Love”
I have always known she existed
Through hopes and dreams more than tested
Yet My heart stood strong and bore all the load
Of loves found, and then lost, along life’s bumpy road
To the haven called Paradise
Where, at last, I have found you.
Omniscience, My guide
And Heaven, My mentor
Opened the door to My heart
Through which she would enter.
The Beloved of My soul
And the song of My heart
With this new love
A new life would I start.
In some ways My first love
In all ways My last
Our hearts have been fused
Held together steadfast.
You are the sum of My thoughts
Both day and night
From the Sun’s first ray
‘Til beyond its last light.
In you have I found
A treasure to behold
Your smiles and your tears
Are both worth more than gold.
Your beauty and goodness
Shall try to be captured
By poets and painters
Whom you’ve enraptured.
They’ll write and they’ll paint
Until they grow old
The legend of you
For Love’s tale must be told.
But no rendering of you
And, yeah, there’ll be many
Shall capture your fullness
Not one, not any.
For how could a camera
Contain the scent of a flower?
And how could a story
The magic of an hour?
In your eyes all can see
God’s adoration of Man
And your touch, indescribable
As is your kiss on My hand
Your skin, soft and sweet
Like the day’s morning dew
And your heart wields a power
That is rivaled by few.
Tender as the fawn
And pure as the dove
Let My eyes be the portals
Through which you’ll know Love
The glory, the grandeur
The magic, the wonder
Of all God’s creations
Both over and under.
What else can I tell you, give you, or show you?
I live only to serve you, love you, and know you.
I beg you release all restraints and defenses
And allow this true love to delight all your senses.
We are One ’til eternity
‘Til forever expires
So may our love bless this world
And all the hearts it inspires.

Apple Cider Vinegar—A Miracle Food
I use apple cider vinegar almost every day to cleanse, purify, and detoxify My body. I recommend it, as part of a daily nutritional regimen, to anyone who wants to attain optimal physical health and energy.
There are many powerful, natural nutritional remedies at our disposal today, which prevent and cure disease, and aid our bodies to attain vibrant health and energy. One such product is organic, raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. This health elixir was discovered in 400 B.C. by Hippocrates (the father of modern medicine), who used it to treat his patients. This healing tonic is a naturally-occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs, bacteria, mold, and viruses. In combination with a healthy lifestyle program, it helps heal myriad ailments, ranging from headaches to high blood pressure.
One of the world’s leading authorities on apple cider vinegar is Patricia Bragg. I highly recommend her book Apple Cider Vinegar—Miracle Health System (published by Health Science, Santa Barbara, California, and available at www.amazon.com or www.bragg.com). She describes the history of apple cider vinegar, its healing properties, and how to use it to gain the optimal health benefits.

Until You Make Peace with Yourself…
Until you make peace with yourself,
you will never find peace in the world.
The easiest and only way to accept your life and find true inner peace is to mature to the point whereby you admit to yourself that you chose your life. To be in denial and in projection is childish, immature, and is an expression of victim consciousness. You have this life because you chose it—period. As soon as you accept this inalienable truth, you will be on the road to inner peace.
If you go to a restaurant and order a bowl of macaroni, you do not spend the whole night saying, "Why did I get macaroni? Why did that mean waiter bring it to me? I can’t stand this! I can’t stand macaroni!" The macaroni is on your plate simply because you asked for it. If you did not want it, you would not have asked for it.
You chose your life: every thing, every one, and every circumstance in it. Accept that truth, then you can be about your Father- and Mother-God’s business, which you came here to be and to do.
Inner peace comes from within, hence the name "inner" peace. It can and will never be found outside of self, through any activity or any pursuit other than the pursuit for inner peace, which is an inward quest. Until you make peace with yourself, you will never find peace in the world.
Once you stop fighting your destiny,
you will be more able to enjoy shaping and coloring your destiny.

Life with The Beloved
The things that have ones so enamored—the perfect love, the perfect child, the perfect income, the perfect house and job and town to live in—are the very things that keep so many from God. Humanity has become so brainwashed by what the collective whole says are the ideals and attainments for which to strive. If they are an end, in and of themselves, each one of those items is a false god placed before your Lord God and Creator.
The same dynamic can be found in the New Age movement. The pursuit of enlightenment, ascension, bi-location, teleportation, etc. are all pursuits of false gods. They are attachments and distractions of the mind. Desires are acts of Separation. Inherent in one’s desire for anything is the belief that one lacks something and, therefore, needs something. Thus, desire places an object of pursuit before God which, in turn, distances one even further from God.
Desire not the fruits of life with God. Desire, instead, life with God.
Life with The Beloved is not about enlightenment. It is about falling so completely in love with Creation that you are in Oneness with everything in any given moment. Then the next moment comes and you fall in love all over again. What if it is God’s will that you do not attain enlightenment in this embodiment? Does that mean you fail? No. The only desire worth having is to become consumed by God’s love. Place no conditions upon what that looks like. God is love. Thus, yearn to know love, to feel love, to express love, and to become love—beyond limit. If that means enlightenment, then accept it. If it means being married, single, gay, straight, rich, poor, with or without kids, famous or unknown, accept that too. It does not matter. Those titles, positions, and attributes are simply what God needs to play this game of chess with your lives. Furthermore, all those attainments of the material world are gone forever in the instant you transit your physical form, from a life whose entirety only amounts to one blink of your soul’s eternal eye.
God does not need six billion people enlightened in this decade, or in this century for that matter. God needs a surrendered, willing heart that says, "Use me according to Thy will." There are countless people who are not enlightened Masters, yet live so completely in rapture with God, and it blesses everything they do. I have seen many working in hotels and restaurants. The love I see oozing out of them almost brings Me to tears. Some of them are going home to screaming children, no money, and fifteen people living in a one-room box of a house with no windows; yet, they walk in grace because they feel the love of God constantly in their hearts. They see it, and insist on seeing it, in every single thing they do. That is the magic which helps them transcend their circumstance. Many of them have never read a book on ascension and might think enlightenment is what happens when you flip the light switch on a wall. Do you think it matters? Do you think they care? Their focus is on God, not on His gifts.
Love is what everyone is seeking. The irony is that all have the power to have it in any moment. Many just do not give themselves permission, partly because they do not believe that they can have it. Most have been taught that life is about having to attain something. Others believe that, once they become enlightened, then they will have that love. But it is the other way around. It is the love which leads one into enlightenment.
No moment lives beyond the confines of itself. All that matters is to fill each moment with the highest amount of love you can muster, then ache to give even more. It is in these moments that you are in Oneness. It is in these moments that you are living life with The Beloved.

The End of Poverty
What would you say if I told you that you single-handedly have the power to end poverty on this planet? Well… you do. One commonly known axiom of love says, “It is in giving that we receive.” Many have come to understand this universal truth through the Law of Karma: “As you sow, so shall you reap tenfold.” What is not known is that, because humanity lives in a consciousness of separation, most universal truths have been both taught and understood either as half-truths or as distorted truths. As applied here, what has for so long been understood as the primary Law of Creation—“As you sow, so do you reap tenfold”—is actually only half of the Law of Creation.
The second half of the Law of Creation states: “As you reap, so do you return to Source one-tenth.” This part is called the Law of Tithing, a law that few understand and even fewer practice in the manner which God ordained. Tithing fulfills the Law of Creation. Without it, energy moves only half way around the cycle of life.
The reason people do not tithe is because of poverty consciousness; in other words, living in survival mode. What do you suppose created poverty on this planet? In a word: Hoarding. I will explain. The universe is always in perfect balance. Since this planet currently lives in duality, that balance is achieved through the interaction and merging of polar opposites. The moment the first person had that feeling of, “I will just hold onto a little bit, to save for a rainy day,” an energetic tube through which flows God’s infinite supply was severed and poverty was created—by man, not by God.
The underlying motivation for the decision to hoard is a deep-rooted fear which speaks, “God will not be there for me, so I will just have to take care of myself.” Further substantiating this is the fact that all your thoughts, both loving and non-loving, manifest in kind on the physical plane. Thus, it is that the thought form of hoarding preceded and precipitated the condition known as poverty. While many insist on it being the other way around, universal law states that form follows thought. Humanity has propagated that fear for eons of time, offering axioms such as “survival of the fittest,” “look out for Number One,” “kill or be killed.” Because these are held firmly in more than fifty percent of humanity’s consciousness, they exist as reality for the collective whole. Paradoxically, as there is nothing outside of self, if an individual does not hold those fear-based tenets, one does not live or experience that as one’s reality—even if 99% of the planet was being affected by that non-loving thought form in the collective grid.
Among the multitudes whose fear has them struggling to hoard and save, there are ones who have tremendous heart openings and, feeling the love of God, suddenly want to share and give. These spiritual awakenings, however, are seldom enough to fully move ones out of the overriding mantle of fear- or duality-based consciousness with regards to money. Thus, the internal dialogue which follows is, “As soon as I put my kids through school…,” “once I meet my twin flame…,” “as soon as I get that new car…,” “as soon as I get a promotion…,” “…then I will be soooo generous.”
How would you feel if the sun said that to you? “As soon as you surrender a hundred billion percent of yourself to God, I will cast a ray your way.” How would you feel if the trees all decided to withhold oxygen until you came a hundred percent to God? Does God or the universe meter out Its gifts to you? Why, then, does humanity continue to bastardize a Law of Creation which is so beyond the mind’s ability to conceive? Hedging and leveraging demonstrate fear, not faith; yet, it is faith which builds the Temple—the same faith which God and the sun and the trees show you in every moment.
The solution and the cure for poverty on this planet, as well as the means for manifesting abundance (in every area of your life), is to fulfill the law and cycle of Creation by returning to the universe one-tenth of all that the universe gives to you. Someone once asked Me, “Is that gross or net?” Since the universe does not have conditions placed upon its giving to you, you cannot have conditions placed on giving back to it.
The single, most powerful and effective way to return to the universe is to tithe the 10% back to the Creator through a single point of focus, the neck in the hourglass. Which single point do you choose? You are spun from love; you live on love; you radiate love; and when your embodiments are finished, you no longer need air, food, and water but still need love to sustain eternal life. Love is, therefore, the one element you need for survival. It is for this reason that the highest source of returning to the universe is through the point which gives you the greatest spiritual or loving nourishment. Thus, if you have a spiritual teacher, mentor, or Guru, give there. If you are completely devoted to a hospice, an orphanage, a church, give there.
Tithe first to the person or place which most feeds your soul and brings you closer to God,
because that is the funnel through which God (the universe) most feeds you with love.
Do not use “I don’t know where to give,” “I can’t decide,” “once I have more money…” as excuses to continue hoarding and creating poverty in the world for yourself and others. If you look within and cannot seem to arrive at a decision, just pick something. Pick a recipient so that you create a perfect neck in the hourglass through which to give back to the universe. It is virtually impossible to tap into God’s full universal abundance without tithing. Even if one has amassed great material wealth, that one would be lacking in God’s abundance somewhere else in his life—health, relationship, happiness, etc.—if not fulfilling God’s own Law of Creation.
Once, I was in the middle of sharing this at a conference when an irate woman jumped up and screamed out: “I disagree with tithing to one person or place. Sai Baba says ‘Love All, Serve All’.” To this outburst I calmly responded, “Who said stop at ten percent?” It is in giving that you receive. Tithing is simply the first place of giving. Giving the first 10% of all you receive, ongoingly, to a single point of focus fulfills the Law of Creation. The universe was constructed, and functions, according to this principle. The more you give, the more you receive, provided that the giving is motivated by joy, gratefulness, and unconditional love, and provided that the gift is given freely—without attachment, expectation, or entitlement.
It is important to remember that the energetic value of any act, thought, word, or feeling is only and exactly equal to the consciousness with which it is delivered. If you tithe begrudgingly, you are sowing bitter seeds and you will harvest bitter fruits for yourself. Even though the money will still bless another, it will not bless you in return. Do whatever you do in love, joy, and gratefulness. Then everyone is blessed and rewarded.
At a time when “transforming the ills on this planet” is so pressing on the minds of many, here lies an opportunity to have an instant and lasting impact on the world in so many ways. And you need neither wealth, fame, status, nor training to do it. The very fact that one person’s $10 tithe has the exact same healing effect on self and others as another’s $10,000 tithe (provided both tithes constitute 10% of the individuals’ respective gross earnings) proves that this law is given and facilitated directly by God.
It amazes Me how few people adopt this practice once gaining awareness of it. Universal laws built and govern all Creation. They are not affected by anyone’s opinions about them. Until the Law of Creation is honored, poverty will continue to grow and flourish on this planet like a brush fire out of control. Furthermore, while there are many ways in which to give, the Law of Tithing outlined here is the prerequisite and foundation for all others.
It is with great joy that I lay this treasure in your lap, the opportunity and the power to personally wipe the disease called Poverty from this planet and be blessed by God’s spiritual and material abundance in so doing.

Healer Heal Thy Self
Many healing practitioners have shared with Me their bewilderment over assuming illnesses or conditions from their clients, especially when they truly felt that their intentions were ones of loving service to another. Why would a healer or anyone become ill through healing others? First of all, it is important to remember that any condition or circumstance which your soul needs you to have, in order to purge something from within yourself or to learn a particular life lesson, you get. How you get it is a matter of harmonic convergence between demand and supply. Does it matter whether you drew your circumstance by way of a client, a passerby, recycled air on an airplane, or germs on a railing in order to initiate your process? The means is not important.
Sometimes God lovingly asks a soul to perform a type of karmic sweeping, whereby the individual takes on conditions from another, as part of conscious or unconscious agreements made to serve that soul by absorbing some of that one’s karma. In the case of illumined masters, saints, and yogis who knowingly take the diseases and poisons of the world into their holy bodies, thus becoming ill by so doing, it is their conscious, loving act and gift to humanity. Yet, even without being enlightened or possessing great siddhas (divine powers), many people perform these same services to God and others; some are simply unaware of it. Either way, these acts can be likened, metaphorically, to "carrying the cross" for another, helping to ease the burden of another by carrying some of that one’s illness, emotional pain, etc. To help each other in this way is part of our divine nature, even though some might say they disagree or do not remember or believe in such a concept (the Truth is not affected by anyone’s opinion).
At other times, one’s own pain, fear, distortions, or other negative programming will create a circumstance called "unconscious psychic mopping" (bearing the same effect and outward appearance as in the case of karmic sweeping, the difference existing only at the causal level, in that God is not asking for this to be done). Psyching mopping can be—and needs to be—eliminated, once the negative patterns causing it are identified and addressed.
The primary focus of this article is upon a specific set of negative patterns which create the psychic mopping described above, for this is the one I encounter most in the case of healers who take on the conditions of their clients. Many healers (this includes channels, doctors, shamans, psychics, intuitive healers, etc.) become ill through healing because they are attached to that which they do. The ego personality has an investment, an energetic hook, in the process. There are many types of these hooks, including: being impressed by one’s own abilities, wanting to impress others, seeking approval, having expectations of (or attachment to) results, etc.
When you have expectations or attachments surrounding the result, you have placed a condition upon love. Therefore, God’s unconditional love (the power that heals) cannot flow. Similarly, if you are attached to the process, you can just as easily become attached to (affected by) the illness or any of its symptoms and side effects. Furthermore, these attachments may be either conscious or unconscious and still have the same effect on the healer.
Some of these distortions stem from a gross misunderstanding of what a healer is. Humanity collectively agrees that the healer is the "doer." To that, many will say, "No. I disagree. I am the instrument, I am the vessel." Perhaps, conceptually, one might think so, but I am talking about belief systems, which are very different than thoughts or opinions. The belief system currently held on this planet is that healers "fix" people. Inherent in that distorted belief is a consciousness of Separation. It implies that the client is broken, which implies that he or she is less than the perfection of God’s creation. This is tantamount to saying that God made a mistake and that God is fallible. Consequently, any healers who hold the conscious or unconscious belief that they are fixing others are, in essence, elevating and separating themselves from their clients and, ultimately, from God.
Implicit in one’s understanding of healing as "fixing" there is a judgment. The origin of this judgment is, again, fear-based. People fear pain because they do not understand that pain is actually part of the healing process itself. Pain is important because it is the barometer by which you can measure your resistance (to God’s will). Your soul is constantly transmuting and/or ejecting non-loving energies from your body and aura. Pain results whenever there is conscious or unconscious resistance to (i.e. control over) that very natural process.
A heart at peace knows no suffering, regardless of circumstance.
The soul never sets about with the intention of introducing pain into the body. The soul is constantly drawing situations and circumstances for the purpose of extricating the energies (and consciousness) of Separation from the self.
The pursuit of comfort and the pursuit of growth are mutually exclusive and diametrically opposed. Pain is falsely perceived as the enemy because most people are seeking comfort rather than growth. The fact that people rush to doctors to obtain pain "killers" bespeaks this self-deluding belief system. Human beings molt, just like crabs and snakes. Yours is simply not as visible… or is it? Hair, skin, cells—these all molt and replenish themselves. But so does your whole being. The one aspect of molting which humans deny, avoid, and resist the most is the molting of consciousness. Paradoxically, this is the most important part of the healing process because it affects all others and is the very vehicle for endearing you into the heart of God and for realizing your own divinity. Do you have to experience pain as part of the growth process? Absolutely not. God did not create your pain and suffering—you did. It is not growth but resistance to growth which causes pain.
It is for this reason that the soul, in its infinite wisdom, has to sometimes resort to drastic measures in order to elicit the surrender of the separate ego personality’s tyrannical, fear-stricken control over the course of one’s life on Earth, a life which is about nothing other than uniting with The Beloved. And every time your consciousness outgrows its shell (which can happen from one to one hundred times a day), it molts. It is the resistance to this very necessary and ongoing growth process of the soul incarnate that has come to be known as pain. Unfortunately, the antiquated paradigm of healing is still held in the collective grid of humanity’s consciousness. Independent of what any healers think about themselves or their practices, it is a stain on humanity’s consciousness which has yet to be fully transmuted.
In truth, the healer is not solely responsible for the healing. The healer allows and facilitates Love. Love is the power that heals. Though this is widely known, it is still only half of the Law of Healing (I prefer to think of healing as "transformation" because it does not hold the connotation that one is fixing something). The second half of the Law of Healing is faith. As love is the power that heals, faith is the power which allows love to heal. Ideally, the healer’s role is to provide a clear, surrendered, unconditionally-loving conduit through which God’s love can flow. The client’s role is to provide faith in the healer’s abilities. The healer’s faith does not negate the need for the client’s faith. The process and relationship is co-creative. If both aspects of the Law of Healing are not present, transformation does not occur. In cases wherein clients did not consciously acknowledge faith in the healer, God, the cure, the process, or themselves—yet still experienced "healing"—the faith was still present and strong enough in their subconscious to create the transformation.
On the other end of the spectrum is the "It’s not me; it’s all God" mentality. This false humility bespeaks a level of unworthiness. And beneath this false unworthiness lies arrogance and vanity. It is God, and it is you as God and as an extension of God. It is all co-creative. We are all created by God, in His/Her image, and endowed with God’s own divine nature and gifts. To deny this is to deny God, and to deny the God within you.
There is a place which lies in the center, a place neither boastful nor shameful—the place of the "I AM." To know oneself as God while at the same time reverently deferring to the supreme power and majesty of God is a sign of mastery. From this state of transcendence, true humility is born. It is from this state of being that a true healer can bring unconditional self, unconditional God, and unconditional love to the table. If you really want to see magic happen, see all your clients as whole and perfect as they are now, prior to rendering your services to them. Then watch the glory and power of God’s love further perfect their already-perfect expression of themselves as God. This is the true essence of healing.
The deeper your surrender and detachment become, the more impervious do you become to all outer circumstances. It is from this state of consciousness that the healer heals itself. The purification of the self, in turn, purifies and expands one’s gifts as a healer. With this new model in place, not only would you no longer be adversely affected as a result of healing others, you would become uplifted and exalted by doing so. Aches and pains would start to disappear as a result of tendering clients. Even your need for food and sleep might diminish. You would find mood swings becoming shorter in duration and intensity. More and more joy would be experienced because that light of God would be flowing through, unhindered, as it was being allowed to do its deed. In this way, Love’s effect on the healer would be very positive. The healer’s consciousness would now be one with it and no longer be monitoring it, controlling it, or trying to do something about it. It knows what to do. It found you, did it not?
The minute the gaze falls onto your separate existence, a life-sustaining, energetic cord is cut and you spin in a downward spiral into the depths of illusion. Again, it is all about perception—very different from avoidance and denial, which many practice. While you are dealing with, and growing through, your circumstance, the gaze must not fall from God. This was the great metaphor that Jesus delivered to Simon Peter upon the Sea of Galilee. He helped him to define the illusion. The moment the disciple looked to the sea upon which they stood (the illusion), fear rushed in and he began to sink. Jesus then said to him, "Lift your gaze. Look back into My eyes and do not take them from Me." It was in doing so that he rose again to walk on water with his brother Jesus, thus transcending the illusion.
It is always and only when your gaze is transfixed on Love that you can be in the world, but not of it, and thus no longer be affected by its illusions, no matter how real they might appear.
