Day 21: Some People Do Not Want to Be Healed



 As a Shaman I have learned through my own experience that there are many people who do not choose to heal. It is their free will choice and it is not for me to offer healing to those who do not want healing.

 I heard this story about a lady who had been crippled for many years. She had spent thousands of dollars for medical tests and procedures. Nothing worked. Then she spent many years asking every kind of alternative healer to come to her house and heal her. Hundreds of healers came at her expense to offer their healing skills to her. She would sit with them and talk to them and allow them to ply their skills and none of them could heal her.

The truth was that this woman did not want to be healed. It was her dis-ease itself which provided a handy vehicle for her to meet all these interesting and spiritual people who came to visit her. She enjoyed meeting these people, getting their attention and care and sympathy. Why would she want to give that up? There was no reason for her to accept a healing and lose all this attention. Not everyone wants to be healed.

Sometimes people gain more in their suffering than they think they would have if they were healed, just like this lady. This is important to remember. I will tell you that even Jesus walked away from those that would not hear him. Even Jesus refused to try to heal people that did not want healing.
