    I exist
    to heal.

    If this is not a mere grandiose delusion – as well it may be – then there are certain corollaries:

    1. The particular modality employed with any sufferer at any moment is utterly unimportant.
    2. Basic to the healing is helping the sufferer to find his Soul, and thus reduce his

    I believe that to overcome our anguish (the Buddha’s First Noble Truth) we must find our Souls, our Buddha-Nature. And this comes through finding our mother’s Soul, for we were – and still are – of her. Are her.

    One Way to her as Her is

    Heaven’s Decree – the Karmic Plan – is for Yin and Yang to be forever in Perfect Balance: empty and full, “just-so.”

    I would like to practice true Psyche-atry.

    May I be
    a clear channel
    for Your healing.

    to help You

    and

    I open my heart
    to those who want
    healing through me.

    When as a medical student I tried to study biochemistry, I became overwhelmed by the hundreds of equations and diagrams. They were so confusing because they seemed not to make broad sense. There seemed to be no overall perspective, just so many little independent facts.

    I spent nearly a year preparing a large master flowchart showing
