The Engine Driving Healing Work
by Lorelynn Mirage Cardo, Ph. D.
How does healing work? So many people ask this simple question but the answers are anything but simple.
It reminds me of when I was in college and I read how the Earth's continents seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces. So much detailed evidence pointed to this conclusion, but the scientific community dismissed the theory as circumstantial and ridiculed the author. Obviously all that changed when plates were found underlying continents and subduction from the molten core of the Earth was found to be the engine that drives the plates into and around each other, causing our lively, living planet.
"The acceptance of plate tectonics by the scientific community in the 1960s is one of the great events in the history of science. Despite the fact that almost all geologists considered moving continents to be the rankest sort of heresy, when the data began to accumulate they willingly abandoned the teachings of a lifetime in deference to the new information," according to Science Matters.
What's the “rankest sort of heresy” concerning healing?
I was recently told by a leading social scientist that quantum applications of healing are "gobbledygook." By this he meant just plain weird and spooky. Why?
Because this fascinating perspective has not yet made the voyage into the mainstream scientific consciousness, although it already has for many healers, especially those of us who claim we work in the quantum. Quantum physicists seem to have a problem with this heresy because they are dealing with mathematical formulas, not applications of their theories.
How can you have practical applications to something that is so mind bending?
By bending your mind and stepping into the quantum world, the endless possibilities. Many healers do it. Many physicists and leading-edge scientists are the metaphysicians of our time. They just don't know it.
