Healing is Wholeness.

"...But to heal the understanding alone is to heal man outwardly only: for the understanding with its thought is the external of man's life, while the will with its affection is the internal of his life. Therefore the healing of the understanding alone would be like palliative healing, by which the interior malignity, shut in and prevented from coming out, would destroy first the near and then the remote parts, till the whole would become mortified."   (Emanuel Swedenborg - DP 282)

In Esoteric Astrology, all of our life challenges are sent by the Higher Self to push us into a process of transformation that leads to identification with the Higher Self, and obtaining that state is Healing.

The whole purpose of Esoteric Astrology is to understand how to restore the balance between our 'inner' and 'outer' self. The challenges in our lives are resolved when we embark on this balancing process.

The balancing begins an inner communication with the Higher Self. In personality this imbalance is between our intellect (mind chatter) and our desire nature (what we want). It is what holds mankind focused in physicality, unaware of our spiritual nature.

This imbalance is the cause of all our challenges in life. (Example:. If desire wins and intellect is sublimated we see gluttony, disease, guilt and remorse. Or if intellect wins and desire is sublimated we see frustration which leads to binge drinking, road rage, accidents and blame.)

When balance is restored, even briefly, our desire nature becomes inspired, and our intellect becomes clear, which causes an influx of creative energy. (Example: on the level of personality, when you receive a compliment you feel good, you're in the present moment, you smile and radiate love.)

Naturally, this "feeling" of love is within us. For those who are personality centered, it is only activated by outside events. But for those that can temporarily surrender the personality self, can cause an influx at will, and it is felt as a "feeling" of radiating love. When personality acknowledges the presence of this "feeling", an influx temporarily heightens our awareness.

This heightened awareness is felt as a feeling. I call this the feeling tone because it is a sound vibration. ("Swedenborg talks about a spirituous fluid that courses through our body, and projects a simple fiber - a flashing organic current. Biologists call it electro chemical and is said to have rhythmical waves of electrical potential." Michael Stanley - Essential Readings)

As you encourage this feeling tone to grow, by imitating it - by sharing; you begin to move the center of consciousness, from personality, to the Higher Self.

But before we are aware that this feeling tone is actually our Higher Self, it has to be cleared of its previous vibrations, of stress, tension, anxiety, and anger, etc. And because this feeling tone vibrates with our mental state, it is effected by what the intellect dwells on.

The temperaments and moods of the mind keep our spiritual self hidden from us. But the veil is only a vibrational one. (Example:. Anger can create a bad feeling in the body, and the feeling tone can hold the memory of that anger for a long time.)

This feeling tone also holds the memory of love, and of our divine nature. When we dwell on thoughts of strength, compassion and love, we encourage the feeling tone to become enlivened. Then, when we radiate this pulsating feeling to others, a feeling of unity, wholeness and healing comes over us.

Esoteric Astrology can help us understand our particular patterns that block our divine right to Wholeness.
