94: HEALING

"The Guardian knows nothing about your kind of healing... But he can lay

down for your guidance certain broad principles: There is no such thing as

Baha'i healers or a Baha'i type of healing. In His Most Holy Book (the

Aqdas) Baha'u'llah says to consult the best physicians, in other words,

doctors who have studied a scientific system of medicine; He never gave us

to believe, He Himself would heal us through 'Healers' but rather through

prayer and the assistance of medicine and approved treatments. Now, as

long as your healing is in no opposition to these principles, as long as

you do not try and take the place of a regular doctor in trying to heal

others, but only give them your kind of help through constructive

suggestion--or whatever it may be--and do not associate this help with

being a channel of the direct grace of Baha'u'llah, the Guardian sees no

harm in your continuing your assistance to others. But you must

conscientiously decide whether, in view of the above, you are really

justified in continuing. He will pray for your guidance and happiness."
