I like your analogy, Are.

 

Many people wrote that ALL therapists have the will / intention to heal.

Therefore, some people dismiss the importance of " intention " in healing

because they assume that it is common to all therapist-client

relationships.

 

I disagree. I recognise TWO types of intention:

 

(1) " Professional intention " is the desire to attain excellent clinical results

by using the best knowledge / skills available to the practitioner. It can

be seen as an IMPERSONAL (unfocused) and SELFISH will / intention,

i.e. to maintain an image of a practitioner who dispenses successful

therapy..

 

(2) " God-like intention " involves the focused, loving, desire to be the

" Healing Hands of God " in this world.

 

When I speak of INTENTION in healing, I mean Type 2 INTENTION! It

is a PERSONAL and SELFLESS will / intention, based on LOVE that is

focused totally on the patient and on the WIll of God.

 

In preparation for each session, the therapist becomes consciously (or

unconsciously) God-aware, aware of the total Unity of all things, aware

of death, aware of his/her own failings and imperfections, and abysmal

ignorance of total truth.

 

In that sense of helplessness, the therapist uses his/her deepest

instincts and knowledge, but allows GOD (the GREAT SPIRIT) to direct

the session. Such therapists claim no personal success (or failure,

except failure to have studied or loved enough), for the outcome,

because the outcome will be left mainly in God's Hands.

 

Part of the therapist's job (IMO) is (over time) to teach, prompt or

otherwise encourage the patient (including the animal patient) to

recognise his/her utter dependence on the mercy of the Great God, the

font of Love and the Creator of the universe, in which we are mere

specks.

 

We all must die. Meanwhile, we must act, live and love as if this is our

last minute in this life.

 

Best regards,
