Faith healing

It would. I look forward to reading it.


Chyeh, Ummm, you might not want to wait around for that. When I say study project, it usually means the thing that I want to do but don't do and remember like three years later, and am like "Dang! Really should have got on that... Oh well... Ooo shiny penny!"

I might though. You never know.

I'm currently writing a zombie novel. So busy busy busy! Braaaiiiinzzz!

LOL :D
 
Do you think its a gift you are born with? Or can you develop it?

Both. Some are born Mozarts; others learn proficiency through practice. Someone proficient is never going to be a Mozart, but they can be very good at it. And some people are born tone-deaf. LOL :eek:

Like anything else we are gifted with as human beings, I think healing through energy work is a spectrum in the human species.
 
I think that all of the extra ordinary abilities that humans show a propensity toward are fascinating. I don't think that I have much potential in most of them. I am usually pretty good at knowing how people are feeling, and judging the mood of a group or a person.

It's good for stopping arguments before they begin. In person at least... Doesn't work that great online. :)
 
Of all the healers that are on TVs, I did feel trust for only one. I went to see him when he came through town and it was real. He has a real gift. I have seen him at least 8 times since and he is real.

Agree. Animals have been known to have healing ability aswell. There have been reports of pets healing their owners. I think we have the ability to develop any kind of extrasensory and healing ability, I have a spontaneous precognitive, I use to have some control over it and still do accasionally but now its mostly sponateous. For instance I could be out and start to suddenly think heavily about a certain person then 5 minuites later I would bump into them. However my precognition mainly occurs in my dreams, I've reenacted parts of my day exactly in my dream in the night before many times. Once it was so vivid I couldn't tell the difference when I woke up and seen world events in my dreams. But to think on how many ways we can focus our energies it would drain you out of another aspect your trying to perfect. Romantically, economically (material quality), freindships, philosophical, the well being of your direct family. I know I focus alot of my energy on certain aspects of my life maybe once I get to a place I'am happy with I might explore other avenues. The important part is your making an effort, if you are making an effort you are a healer of some sort.
 
Wish my dreams were useful. But then again, I don't think I'd want what happens in my dreams happening in real life. They're just too weird. And way too many zombies. *Shudder*

But to have control over an ability like that for even just a little while is stupendous.

To be able to heal people, even slightly is stupendous.

Yup, I stick to my guns. God made this world perfectly imperfect.

Everything in it is as it should be. Maybe not how we want it to be. But we're not God, so... well, there ya go.
 
I see the compassionate path as the best path, I'm a perfectionist.

Damn this thread is making me take Christianity more seriously.
 
Nostradamus was a healer I think he developed this ability later in his life.

He was a French Jew that converted to Christianity. He was a kind of Esoteric Christian.

Jesus gave a name to compassion in the west, he is the greatest name for love. Sorry im having one of those inspirational moments :(
 
That's OK, PM. :) I find Jesus very inspiring. I may not be a mainstream Christian, but I do seek to follow Christ and the example given in the life of Jesus. Ever since I was a toddler, the stories about Jesus healing people resonated with me. I only wish I were better at it. I guess I should devote more time to practicing healing. My problem is I love too many things and am interested in too many things, and meanwhile I only have 24 hours a day. So I get rather scattered in how I spend my time. I tend to do things very ad hoc or wait for them to happen spontaneously, and this means I have experienced a very broad array of stuff but not delved deeply into much of it. I'm always acutely aware of the trade-off. I have spent 11 years training horses, but only as a hobby, and I know if I'd not done a doctorate in anthro, I'd be a much better horse trainer and animal communicator. Meanwhile, I know if I hadn't spent the time in horse training, I'd be much better at my art and poetry. But then, if I did none of those things and just focused on herbology and healing... LOL Life in general fascinates me and there's too much good stuff for one lifetime.

And immortalitylost, I hardly ever dream of zombies, but had a whole night of dreaming about ghosts and zombies a few days ago. Very complex dream and interesting, if a bit disturbing. LOL I know I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming, so it doesn't really perturb me much, but I rarely dream in the horror genre. My usual dreams are traveling, often in space. I've had them so long and so frequently that I now find them boring. :eek: The zombie dreams were like my travel dreams except in that city/town lots of the folks were dead. :eek::p
 
PofO, were the zombies my fault? Sometimes i let these little brain ninjas loose in my words ya see...

Yeah, I'm bored of zombies. Always zombies. I think in one dream, I actually said "Da*& not zombies again!" But then there's always folks around that need saving. It used to be dinosaurs.

And I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was little... :rolleyes:

And I never eat cheese before bed! That's like a cardinal rule or something isn't it?

But yeah, I see what you mean about the 'if only I'd put more effort into that!' thing. I think that all the time. I wish I had put more effort into my empathy ability, if such a thing it is. But even as it is now, it's hard to handle. I guess I'm not mature enough to handle more than I do, so it's alright that it isn't stronger.

It kinda is less than fun feeling what other people do sometimes. Especially when they're sad or something and trying to hide it. It sucks knowing what they're feeling when they don't want you to.

But if anyone would like to continue with the original topic feel free, or ya know whatever. I won't get mad with a little bit o wanderin now and then. :D

See ya l8ers!
 
LOL- who knows about the zombies. There are speculations that dream allows people to connect in mutually created worlds, and I have had some success in directing thoughts into people's dreams, so I'm open to the idea. My dreams tend to be very odd and complex; the space/travel dreams are the more normal ones. I just kind of enjoy dream-land. Since I lucid dream, I haven't had much in the way of nightmares since I was a little kid. I know I'm dreaming and find the journey entertaining. Well, except when I am bored of the travel, but it's more work to change it than to just hang out in the dream and wander around where ever I've put myself. ;)

Somewhere else in the past we've talked about empathy (the board in general, not you and I). There are ways to turn the volume down, but it takes some practice.:eek:
