Beware of the Fakes!
It's
amazing how the holistic world has become a
magnet to greedy new-age fakers offering all kinds of wondrous,
recently
discovered solutions to natural health. Commercialism with its inherent
flaws
has no place in the natural healing world! I have witnessed on many
occasions
the uninitiated attending a weekend course/seminar and subsequently
advertising
their services as fully fledged super-duper healers ready to heal
everything
and everyone where all other practitioners and modalities have failed.
These
types normally attend weekend seminars of 'shady' modalities and
shortly after appear
in the glossy new-age journals advertising their super-duper healing
skills!
They have been known to ‘hijack’ a modalities name and add some
appendage such as "SA"
and make this their domain name when launching websites with the
content cloned/stolen
from some other sites. I have heard them make claims that they are
HEALERS, Wow!
.....This is something we, the enlightened know cannot be true! They
often tell of dreams where beings have chosen and directed them to
healing and try to find signs and special meaning in almost everything
they experience. They sometimes talk of spiritual guides leading them,
normally Native American Indian, Gurus or Egyptian priests with all the
visual props such as wigwams, pyramids etc. I find they often have some
professional background in sales (Insurance, Medical insurance, Second
hand car Dealers etc.), though other professions
are found too. They seem to ‘smell’ financial potential within the
field of
holistic health and judging by their haste to advertise and apply
commercial
tactics, there can be no doubt as to what is driving their interest in
holistic
matters. We must be aware of these scavengers, those who loudly make
outlandish
claims such as:
"This is a newly discovered frequency!"
"This new energy is neded as the world is speeding up!"
"This energy is special!"
"This energy feels different!"
"I was given this healing gift by
Angels/Aliens/Wizards/Gnomes/Pop-eye/Andy-Pandy.. etc.!"
"Forget about all other modalities, this one is the only one!"
"I am a healer!"
Quoting some of my favourites...
These individuals harm our world and will be exposed as fakes!
Telling the Wise from the Charlatans
In the medical profession, licence to practice is given only to mature, able and ethical individuals but few esoteric practitioners or spiritual healers have a certificate. How do you know they are capable and ethical? Skilled, etical metaphysical practitioners and teachers do exist, but for every one of them there seems to be many unskilled and unethical others who have learned very little and immediately begun to practice and teach that little to others. How do we tell a wise teacher from a phoney or fraudulent one is not always easy when the glamour or charisma of the spiritual publicity machine surrounding them is shinning in your eyes. Ask around and examine the fruits of their work rather than be dazzled by their website or operation. Good practitioners and teachers will attract without the need for glitzy glamourous advertising. Let intuition guide you.
