I will definitely say that healing has a spiritual dimension to it, and it is a thing that happens to people who have had the worst kinds of trauma.

The way it seems to go is that people find others who can help in their healing and there may in fact be a "God consciousness" at play.

It's also true that people find other labels for the same thing, some call it Shamanism, it goes all the way back before Christianity, back to the times when all we had were tribal rituals.

It can happen in any culture under any belief system, and those who have seen it know what it is. The common theme is always one of giving, that by helping others you indirectly heal your own trauma.

To be clear, I'm not saying this doesn't happen under the Judeo-Christian paradigm. But that's all it is, a framework for accessing a phenomenon that is done from one human being to another. Here, now, and in this life.

And there is so much more. We believe there are records for Christianity going back to Adam. But to believe that, one has to find out whether some other things are true. I have learned that one can do so. It puts many things into perspective, the first parts of the promise fulfilled, of peace in this life, and eternal life in the world to come. I know it is true, having examined it over time, and tested it in sufficient detail, for myself.
