Spiritual Healing
A World-Wide Call to Intentional Healing
of the Earth, Ourselves and All Others
By Betty Kreeger
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
For decades, Rachel Carson and other
visionaries concerned about the effect of pollution on earth and its
population recognized and warned about the environmental devastation now
facing us today. Millions of chemically injured around the world are the
final evidence of this environmental catastrophe. Power and greed have
brought us to this place, and we have felt powerless to stop it due to
our physical limitations. However, we are more than our physical
limitations.
Recently I have been inspired by many teachings on the power of
intentional thought, energy healing, and raising of consciousness. These
energies are transformational, and unlimited.

No “thing” ever manifests without first being preceded by a thought. Have any of you ever accomplished something that was not been preceded by an intentional thought?

Then a few nights ago I was
inspired by one of the Everyday Super Hero stories. The act of one
woman, Irania Martinez Garcia, transformed the city dump in Guantanamo
into an eco-friendly garden by separating organic and inorganic
materials. The organic material was used as compost for the garden and
the inorganic matter was stripped down to its core and recycled or
re-sold. Her action was first just a thought – an intention to manifest
a reality. And this thought inspired her and others to action. No
“thing” ever manifests without first being preceded by a thought. Have
any of you ever accomplished something that was not been preceded by an
intentional thought?
Our physical limitations may prevent the millions of us from showing up
for demonstrations at the various city halls or capitols around the
world at a specific time, but we can use the power of the energy of our
mind (thoughts) – sometimes called prayer – at a specific time to make a
difference. We have a better resource for effecting change –
conscious energy. Thoughts are energies that vibrate through the
universe, whether negative or positive. They either raise the
consciousness through the emotion of love or lower it through the
emotion of fear.
I believe there is an awakening of consciousness right now and with very
little effort, the global MCS community could harness the power of our
thoughts and make a difference. By a very conservative estimate at
least three percent of the earth’s 6 billion people have been chemically
injured. Therefore, at a minimum we are at least 18,000,000 strong.

Many have
researched the power of raising our consciousness. All
is created through the power of two thoughts – love and
fear. One physicist, David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.,
author of “Power vs. Force,” writes: “The difference in
power between a loving thought and a fearful thought is
so enormous as to be beyond the capacity of the human
imagination to comprehend … even a few loving thoughts
during the course of the day more than counterbalance
all of our negative thoughts.” Energies vibrate from 20
(shame) to 700+ pure enlightenment, with critical
consciousness being 200. He has shown that one person
with an energy vibration of neutrality counter-balances
(positively affects) the energy of 90,000 individuals
with an energy level of 200 or below. Potentially, the
18,000,000 plus individuals in the MCS community has the
potential to counterbalance 16 billion people (or nearly
3 times the earth’s population) vibrating below critical
consciousness! There is no limitation when we raise our
consciousness and thus raise the consciousness of
others.
Therefore, I would like to propose to the MCS community
around the world that we set aside just one minute (more
if you like) at a given time on January 1, 2008
(noon PST in the U.S. & other countries to decide their
own time) to send an intentional healing of the earth,
ourselves and all others. Everyone should choose wording
with which you feel comfortable as long as it is
consistent with promoting this healing.
If you have no wording you would like to use, I offer
something like the following which is fashioned after
the 2,500-year-old Buddhist Loving Kindness Meditation.
“May all of the earth’s inhabitants be filled with
Loving Kindness toward themselves, all others and the
earth.”
“May the earth and its inhabitants be well in body and
in mind.”
“May the earth and its inhabitants be safe from inner
and outer dangers.”
“May the world leaders promote peace and healthful
practices for the healing of the earth and its people.”
“May all be happy and truly free.”
This post likely will generate a lot of thoughts – and
hopefully participation. However, your decision whether
to participate in this event is your personal choice.
My hope is that January 1, 2008 will be just the first
of several days we work together to raise global
consciousness. Together we can make a difference!
