- W2400786541 abstract "How Healing Happens: Exploring the Nonlocal Gap For the entire history of the human race, people have believed that healing can take place at a distance. How does healing happen remotely? The short answer is: nobody knows. The situation is rather like that described by Sir Arthur Eddington, the British astronomer-physicist, who said, in speaking about the uncertainty principle in modern physics, “Something unknown is doing we don’t know what.” The reason we don’t know how healing happens is that the task is remarkably daunting. We have bumped up against what may be the 3 most mysterious entities in the universe: consciousness, space, and time. As we shall see, understanding spiritual or distant healing requires penetrating these mysteries, about which we remain appallingly ignorant. We are like the blind men who encounter the elephant: every expert in healing seems to be feeling different parts, and the version we report represents a different point of contact. A “whole-elephant” perspective is lacking. So what can we say about how these events happen? The question of how healing happens is tightly connected with language and taxonomy, because the language used in this field often presumes or implies a mechanism—as when we say “nonlocal healing” or “energy healing.” I don’t enjoy talking about the importance of language in healing, because this subject stirs powerful emotions. People take their language personally. We use language to describe what we do, and what we do is connected with our self-image, how we define who we are. To question someone’s choice of language can be perceived as a personal attack or threat. I have seen nice, serene researchers go ballistic in formal meetings when their healing language is questioned, and it is not a pretty sight. Language both attracts and repels. W. H. Auden used to say that when he didn’t want to talk to someone sitting next to him on an airplane, he simply told them he was a medievalist. I have been experimenting with this tactic lately. I have discovered I can achieve Auden’s result by telling someone I’m an explorer of nonlocal mind. That usually turns them away. But if they ask, “What’s that?” I respond, “Mind that is everywhere in space and time.” That always does it. I had a lesson in the power of language a few years ago when a friend of mine decided to open a sophisticated restaurant HOW HEALING HAPPENS: EXPLORING THE NONLOCAL GAP Larry Dossey, MD Modified from a paper presented at “Bridging Worlds and Filling Gaps in the Science of Spiritual Healing,” Conference on the Big Island; November 29-December 4, 2001; Keauhou Beach Resort, Kona, Hawaii NOTES ON THE JOURNEY" @default.
