WISDOM ON HEALING    Patients carry their own doctor inside. They come to us not knowing that truth. We are at our best when we give the physician who resides within each patient a chance to go to work. Albert Schweitzer

It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.
Hippocrates
.

"We are entering an era where it is becoming important to restore the "humanism" in medical care, where the focus is on a plurualistic view that includes the body, the mind and the spirit. One way of doing this would be by creating physician-healers, following the saged advice of Hippocrates where the physician gets to know (and has the time to get to know) the person that has the disease, not just concentrating on the disease process. "    "The healing radiation, therefore, naturally affects the atmosphere around the patient.  As yet, however, that radiation is uneven and not rightly directed.  Some people radiate physical or animal magnetism; others astral or mental magnetism; still others radiate the energy of a fully integrated personality.  A few radiate the magnetism of the soul, the major attractive energy in all forms.  In the future the true healer must work through the radiation of the entire personality or of the soul.  I say "or" advisedly, for there are few as yet who can work with soul energy, but many who would work as integrated personalities if they so desired.  And when a man has achieved this power to radiate, what about the patient?  How is he to be brought into a condition wherein he will respond accurately to magnetic radiation?  If he is an astral type, as are so many, will he be able to respond to the magnetism of a mental healer?  Can he be helped by the radiation of such a healer if he is himself a fully integrated human being?"                                     Esoteric Healing by A.A.Bailey
