Yesterday I talked about physical problems, about illnesses with which people went to healers for getting them cured. It is not only diseases but also psychological problems which then sometimes got healed like a miracle. As I said, it was usually not any miracle but just the natural strength of the body but the full credit went to the healer. It is nowadays unfortunately also still like that when people go to ‘modern healers’. And then the healer pretends that it was him who could heal.
I always say that it is dangerous to have this ego and think that you have this supernatural power. People might now say that I have done the same thing, that I was also in the Guru business, in a kind of fake world. And I can say yes, I was doing the same thing but I changed.
Everybody has the right and also the task to change, to constantly work on improving himself, to develop the mind further and to get closer to truth. I changed and I do not believe anymore in the way that I did healing sessions and healed people before. Nowadays I have a very different approach, I like to be there for people to talk to, I like to sit in meditation with them or just be in silence. And a person who was in this drama can tell you best about it.
I was in the middle of this religious drama but today I feel that the real healing power is in each of you yourself. The right time, the right company, a loving touch, a hug and sharing words and emotions with the right person can help your healing process, that is true! But after this I would never take the ego of saying ‘I cured this, I did it, I healed.’ We are all a big family and if we are together and help each other, we can overcome a lot of problems, just with love.
Today was our friend Juergen's birthday and he sponsored food for the children and their sisters and brothers.

It is empowering to know that we hold the power to heal in our hands. Many people search outside themselves for someone to heal them, or even a miracle pill that will solve their problems without them even trying. Though it can be hard work to go through our healing processes, we have all that we need within us! This is a nice realization. We only need a reminder that we have the ability to heal within us... and some encouragement, meditation, and emotional support from others never hurt!

"Everybody has the right and also the task to change, to constantly work on improving himself, to develop the mind further and to get closer to truth." I feel like there is nothing more worthwhile and nothing that could make a person happier.

Nature is so healing, and yet so far from what we normally turn to for healing that i bet it does seem supernatural to alot of people.
