The most frequently asked questions of the FAQ's is "who needs you?" Or, in more simple terms, "why can't I heal myself without EMC²'s help? Frankly, I'd be amazed if anyone didn't think about that question.
The most short and obvious answer is, you don't need us, all you need is you. In fact, the only person you can heal is you. That has been the rule ever since healing first occurred, which was, roughly, when life first occurred.
Here is the contradiction. No one can heal you but you, and, at the same time, no one is more important to us than healers.
What healers do is elevate your Consciousness. Healing is the removing of lower levels of Consciousness. Because it falls within that definition, prayer is both a healing and spiritual technology. The Sacrament of Energetic Balancing is a Spiritual Technology because it guides you to focus on your energetic imbalances with an insisting and unremitting heightened level of Consciousness. In fact, your focus is perpetual.
Now let's return to the first question, who needs the Sacrament of Energetic Balancing? I do, because healing myself the old fashioned way is a full time job. I can't take off weekends or holidays. I would have to abandon all else, my research, public speaking engagements, the ministry at EMC² and not to mention my social life, which would be non-existent.
I received a letter from a woman who did just that, she healed herself the old fashioned way. Her name is Emily and in 2002 she was very ill. She took a year off of work and spent her time meditating, resting, practicing yoga, eating a strict diet and spending many hours in prayer. I believe she elevated her Consciousness to save her own life. She was not aware of energetic balancing in 2002 and simply had no other choice but to take this path. Today, Emily is on our program and continues to heal herself everyday, with plenty of time for work, and an active social calendar with family and friends.
We know that some of our greatest spiritual leaders have spent years alone in the desert or mountain elevating their Consciousness. Their heightened states of Consciousness are a magnificent reflection of their dedication. Perhaps that would be the wiser choice, but I am not guided to take that direction. Therefore, I shall take advantage of the Spiritual Technology of the Sacrament of Energetic Balancing, in the hope that I can have my cake and eat it too.
Should you choose to raise your consciousness and heal yourself as Emily did, you have our admiration, our respect and our best wishes. But it is a full time job and a formidable task.
If, on the other hand, you find you are unable to make that old fashioned commitment to self-healing, we will gladly make room for you on the trays which provide the Sacrament of Energetic Balancing, should you be so guided.
