The metaphysics of healing
The metaphysics of healing

THE ART OF QI by Dr AMIR FARID ISAHAK
DISCOVERY magazine recently posed this question: “If an electron can be at two places at one time, why can’t we?” This is an exciting proposition, and it reminds me of a story my Pakcik told me about his experience in his younger days.

It happened when he was in Mecca for the Muslim pilgrimage, over three decades ago. He was there with his late father, but had left his wife and children back home in Kuala Lumpur.

One day he met an elderly Shaykh, who invited him home and gave him daily lessons on religion, and on healing. When he met the Shaykh, he was alone, and was always the only one with the Shaykh at the latter’s home during the lessons. So, one day, he decided to bring his father.

To his amazement, he could not even find the house that he had been going to every day. The house had actually disappeared! On the next day, he had no difficulty at all finding the house when he went alone for his lessons.

On one occasion, when he was missing his wife so much, the Shaykh asked him whether he would like to be home with them for a while. He jumped at the offer. He was asked to close his eyes and hold the Shaykh’s hands while the latter recited certain verses in supplication. Then when he was asked to open his eyes, he found himself standing in the middle of the main hall of his house in Taman Ibu Kota, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur!

His wife was busy making cookies and their young children were playing around her. But he could not speak to them, and they could not see him or sense his presence. He was allowed to stay for as long as he desired, and when he was satisfied, he found himself in front of the Shaykh again. ...cont'd

1. What a great article!
I am, as always, called to look at interconnections. Seeing all of the different branches of energy healing as different ways to focus/harness chi resonates with me.

2. Teachings of the Masters of the Far East
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 08:59 PM by Eloriel
is the title of a set of 5 smallish volumes, originally written in the late 1800s by one or perhaps all of the several British adventurers who spent a number of years in Tibet. They wrote of the advanced age of the masters, their ability to bi-locate, and for some reason the thing that impressed me the most, perhaps (I only read most of Vol. 1): their vibrations were so high that dirt didn't adhere to them or their clothes!

3. love the title of this thread
as all healing (and illness) really begins on levels other than the physical anyway.


Bilocation is pretty heady stuff...nothing neater than being two places simultaneously,eh??

:hi: El & L ....great article as always, Dover :loveya: all
