Did the energy healing innovator [name withheld] talk to a truly divine source to get his inspiration for this healing modality?

This was divinely inspired. And so, this was the inspiration all along, to be doing divine work and to be making profound things happen. This was shown to him and he was inspired to have the awareness and to make the connections, and his description of events is accurate. It is only that he himself does not understand what he is doing in a deep way, and that he is not rigorous in his methods and, in particular, he lacks an understanding of the risks involved in reaching out beyond the self. This is a major failing, across the board, in the world of alternative healers, and something important to take on as a project to bring a focus on this and a spotlight to raise the alarm here. After all, you are not questioning anyone's practices other than to leave God out, and to not add protection. Those two things are readily available if there is belief and an openness to receive the divine assistance, and not doubt one's worth to engage with divine assistance. In most cases, the latter is in place more so than the former. Most people believe they are doing spiritual work, by definition, even though it is ill-defined and not truly spiritual, in effect. So, to point out how to ensure that happens will be welcomed by most practitioners who are not fixated on a more materialist view of the universe and its energies. The full and solid belief in the divine is more a problem for such workers. In breaking away from the grip of formal religion and its negativity, they have traded for a lesser belief than the existence of a divine being who sees them, knows them, and is a part of them, in all they do. So, there will need to be some re-education and some re-acquaintance with the true divine principles, but that is doable in most cases. So, this would be a good part of the package to couple a questioning of current practice by healers doing it in a secular way with a full description of the basic requisite for divine partnership, with encouragement to cultivate the proper perspective so the intentions are clear and strong for it to happen.
