We were told some time ago that spirit meddlers need to be sent directly to the light, because they need special handling for which the Lightworker Healing Protocol components are not directly applicable. If this is so, please help us understand why we should turn this over to the divine, but healing for all other beings we need to take charge of and make numerous specific requests to have done?

The answer is very much in alignment with your question and the general description here that human needs for healing and the way humans operate energetically are shared by other physical beings, even when in spirit form prior to their return to the light, so all can benefit from the workings of the Lightworker Healing Protocol and this applies as well to many physical organisms and species of animals that are present within Gaia and to some extent, the physical environs—Gaia itself, the Sun, the Solar System bodies, and many other beings in locations throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The spirit meddlers are from the higher astral plane as a soul extension, and while they are lower in vibration currently, that is an aberration and a defect that has accumulated, but not because they were created to be within the lower astral realm. So they have a different set of energetics and healing requirements than anything designed to be in the physical plane. So it is most appropriate to leave their healing to the divine realm because we will know exactly what is needed and, in a sense, it is as much a divine dilemma as a human one that this fall from grace took place. It happened long before humans were created, so this is why the particular burden of the spirit meddlers need not fall on human shoulders entirely to work through. They do have a karmic entanglement and there must be an awareness and a request from the human side still to engage the divine in removing spirit meddler attachments and healing their consequences, but it is still appropriate to send them to the light directly and let the divine go from there to work on their rehabilitation. You are not overlooking a gap in coverage of the Lightworker Healing Protocol. It is simply not applicable to them in the same way it is applicable to your other targets. It will cause no harm to request they receive the full healing of the Protocol, but it simply will be ignored by the divine realm because it is unneeded. There will already be healing underway with a request for them to be returned to the light.
