THETA HEALING IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN



Theta Healing is encapsulated in the ancient hymn in John 1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us…"

I've had an epiphany – the hymn in the Gospel of John 1 is talking about how to do theta healing. Theta Healing is simply teaching us to be One with God, and how to make this oneness work. It is exactly as it says in the Gospel of John.  The ancient hymn in John 1 seems to be the process of Theta Healing, or actually, of any kind of manifesting.

In the beginning was the Word,
And the Word was with God,
And the Word was God
The Word was in the beginning with God.
All things came to be through him,
And without him, nothing was made that was made

First, or the beginning, is your intent or your command – the Word. You go up. You are with God. You merge. You are God. Things come to be through this Word. Manifestations come from this command or intent, and being one with God.

What came to be through him was Life
And this Life was the light of all men.
And the Light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness comprehends it not.

What comes to be is the abundance and richness of life.  With God, we can only manifest what will be One with the energy of Love – that which is Life, Light. It is impossible to manifest destruction or hatred or death, because that will be not-One, not-Love, not-God. Or in other words, it is impossible to manifest at all when you are in a spirit of hatred or condemnation or judgment. To manifest [healings] is to be one with the energy of God, which is Love. Love, Light, Life – these  are, in fact, different words for God.

"This Life was the light of all men." Light of all men speaks of service for the good, what illuminates, lightens suffering, brings people to an understanding of themselves.  "And the light shines in the darkness." We are called to be this light, to be in the Light of God.

"And the darkness comprehends it not." Those who don't know (in the dark) cannot understand it; have no comprehension of this. If they did, they would be in the light.

He was in the World
And the World came to be through Him
But the World did not know him.
He came to his own,
But his ownerships did not possess him.*

"He came to his own," the exegesis in the New American Bible says "his own" is a neutral pronoun, meaning his property, possessions. It seems that this is the fruit of what is manifested. In the next line, the pronoun becomes masculine, and I would hazard, possessive – that he was not "theirs." The possessions do not own him. This speaks to me of detachment – of not falling slave to what might be the result of manifestations.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us
And we saw his glory,
The glory as of the Father's only son,
Full of grace and truth.

"The Word became flesh." The Word, your command, intent, becomes manifest, becomes flesh. The word used here is Shekinah, the Spirit of God. The Unmanifest becomes manifest. The spirit, the word, the intent, what is imagined, becomes real, material. "Dwells among us," is literally "pitched his tent with us," as grounded and earthly as can be. It is made real in the world, in the humdrum life of people.

"And we saw his glory. The glory as of the Father's Only Son." This is living as God, in our magnificence or glory, "as of the Father's Son," as a child of God, as being One with God. This is being full of grace and truth. For this is the truth about us. That we are God, godding; fragments of the Divine, sparks from the Source, co-creator with the Creator. When we own this magnificence, Wayne Dyer says, we own our being from God, our being divinity. And this is the state we are being called to, to the state of being "the glory, as of the Father's…"

So there you have it – in an ancient hymn, a pretty good summary of the process and results of Theta Healing!
