INTEGRATION OF THE PARANORMAL INTO AP
The seers of the East and West have claimed that all living things have Qi, an Aura, or Energy Field. This aura reflects the mental and physical state of the organism. It responds to the internal environment of the organism and also to its external environment (terrestrial and extra-terrestrial forces). It is the interface between the external and internal environments.
The AP points are the areas where the Energy Field is strongest. In disease, the energy pattern at the AP points changes. These changes can be sensed (by paranormal sight or touch) by psychics. With some experience, the nature and location of disease can be diagnosed by the changes in the Energy Field. (By telepathic means, trance, clairvoyance or other paranormal means, these changes can be sensed at great distances by trained psychics).
Healing can be stimulated by altering the Energy Field of the patient so that normal patterns of energy are re-established. Transfer of energy from the healer to the patient causes this to occur.
Those who are trained in the AP method can concentrate more specifically on sensing and altering the Energy Field at those AP points which are most affected.
FURTHER TRAINING
Some of you may have had paranormal experiences or may suspect that you have some psychic healing power. If so, I strongly urge you to read up the techniques of dowsing, radiesthesia, self-hypnosis and telepathic healing. I have touched only briefly on some of the psychic technology. You must study the methods in much more depth. There are many American and European books on these topics. One of the best of these is the Silva Method of Mind Control (see references). Similar mental control can be learned by the techniques of Yoga and QiGong.
Please remember that some of these books are of very poor quality. However, the idea is to read widely on the methods and to find one which suits your temperament and abilities.
It is most helpful if you contact medical or veterinary colleagues who use psychic methods. One such group is the Scientific and Medical Network (see Useful Contacts, under References). This is a group of doctors, scientists, artists, writers and vets whose common bond is that they believe in (and use) spiritual energies in their work and play. They hold regular seminars and training sessions and they publish a fascinating Newsletter which covers science, medicine, physics, metaphysics and religious concepts.
You could also join a local dowsing group and subscribe to the dowser's journals. The American Society of Dowsers (ASD) and the British Society of Dowsers (BSD) (see Useful Contacts, under References) publish journals which covers many facets of the diagnostic and healing techniques.
Dream-trance/hypnosis: In occult traditions, thought (dream, conception, will) precedes action (foundation, construction, reality). The Spirit(s) breathe(s) the dream/idea, which may strike a number of people at the same time. Nothing is more powerful than an idea which has reached its time. If enough people want something to be (to happen), it will, at least for them. The dream precedes the blueprint, which precedes the Taj Mahal. Directed or controlled visualisation (daydream) is a powerful tool.
Truth versus fantasy: Truth/reality is primarily opposite in trend to dream/fantasy but the seeds of one lie in the other and the opposites of each lie in each. One can lead to the other. Dreams or fantasy can have a basis in truth/reality and can develop into it, as in precognitive dreams or medical diagnosis/healing using the inner (sixth) sense. Truth/reality can have a basis in dream/ fantasy and can develop into it, as in human endeavour in the First World to solve the problems of the Third World. One fingerless hand claps, as in most aspects of nature.
My truth/reality may be your fantasy/nightmare. Our interpretation of the world is imperfect and subjective. It depends on our senses, our training and, to some extent, on intuition/instinct to fill in missing pieces of the image. Reason can be defective, a fact well known to those who work with psychiatric patients.
If truth is certainty and our world uncertain, our world is fantasy. The main certainty for us is death, the main uncertainty what then?
Hallucinations and delusions may be signs of serious mental illness or of exposure to alcohol or psychotropic drugs! Those who attempt to use psychic methods or diagnosis and healing must constantly guard against self-delusion. Let the success of the method in clinical practice decide whether or not the method is justified as a technique in its own right or as a supplement to conventional techniques. It is the clinical outcome of the case which matters most. The aim of the healer is to help the patient to regain health. The healer must decide whether this requires an orthodox or an unorthodox approach (or combination of approaches).
I ask you to keep an open mind on these questions. If some of you recognise these abilities in yourselves, please read as much as you can of the literature on the paranormal. You will find that your clinical success will improve when you combine these techniques with scientific medicine. I am no expert in these methods but I have studied different approaches to these techniques since 1973 and I am still trying to train myself to them: I am trying to rediscover my birthright, the culture of my childhood.
CONCLUSIONS
I have discussed the main methods of diagnosis and therapy in relation to psychic healing. In dowsing, the techniques used are many and varied. What works for one operator may not work for another. The important thing is to have confidence in your own method and to get plenty of practice with it.
If you believe that the patient must be present to get good diagnostic results with dowsing, it will be necessary for the patient to be present! If you believe that a witness is needed for distant dowsing, you will need a witness!
Your belief in yourself, self confidence and a sense of detachment (relaxation) are of the utmost importance in dowsing, as they are in your professional, social and personal life. Above all, any subjective diagnostic or therapeutic impressions should be confirmed by objective evidence, especially the clinical response to treatment.
Psychic methods of diagnosis and healing should complement conventional methods. In the first attempts at these methods, the novice may expect to find serious conflicts between the psychic and orthodox methods. This should not be allowed to discourage further attempts. In cases of such conflict, the operator should rely more on the orthodox conclusions. Later, as he/she gains more self-confidence and experience, the psychic conclusions may become more important aids.
Before one attempts psychic diagnosis, healing, or projection to a human patient's psyche or energy field, one should get permission from the patient, or from the guardian; when attempting to work with an animal in this way, permission should be given by the owner, handler, or trainer.
Despite genuine attempts to learn the techniques, many of us may never develop significant psychic abilities in this life. This, per se, should not cause us to be sceptical of, or to deride others who have these abilities! These skills exist to a high degree in some people and we will never know if they exist in us unless we try to find them.
I gave much thought as to whether or not I should discuss these topics with a scientifically trained audience of vet colleagues. There is a danger that such discussion may undermine my entire credibility as a qualified lecturer! Some of you may have been scandalised by these topics. If so, I apologise to you and I ask your patience. Please, forget this section and try the more conventional techniques. Let me assure you that the orthodox (physical) techniques of AP are adequate for most conditions responsive to AP! Orthodox physical concepts can explain AP satisfactorily, without the necessity of invoking the "paranormal".
The central thesis of this paper is that love and prayer are central to all healing. The great healers known to me combine four attributes:
1. a high level of technical knowledge and skill
2. empathy with the subject and a consciously directed intention to heal
3. compassion with the subject and a spiritually directed desire to heal
4. deep wonder and humility at being part of the cosmic creative force, the source of all healing.
Whether we like it or not, there is a growing consciousness of these topics in the West. It is time that scientists discuss the "paranormal" even if its validity is not proven to the high degree of predictability set by "scientific protocol". Therefore, I thank your Committee for the courageous decision to include these topics in a serious veterinary seminar! To those of us who have first-hand experience of psychic methods, they merely add another dimension to a fascinating tapestry that is total reality.
