Who Heals Whom?

by Alan Gwilt MRadA, HFRadA

This paper was presented at the Radionic Conference,

Working with Nature, held at Birmingham on February
21st-23rd 2003.
May I say from the outset that this talk Who Heals
Whom? is the consequence of personal reflection on
some twenty and more years of working in radionics
over which time I have come to recognise my infinite
indebtedness and gratitude to: my patients for
inviting me into their lives, to the legacy of other
practitioners past and present and other figures
associated with the care and development of radionics
from whose influence I greatly benefit and, especially,
my spiritual mentors, to whom I am so deeply beholden for their direction
and teaching which has enriched my life more than I can say, and also my
better understanding of this miraculous healing discipline I am privileged
to practise.
When I was invited to talk on Radionics as a Catalyst for Spiritual
Evolution, which was the originally suggested title, my first response was
to decline because I do not consider myself competent to speak on a subject
which for each of us is an intensely personal matter and it seemed audacious
in the extreme for me to suggest that in others there is to be found a reflection
of my own experience in the spiritual journey we call this human lifetime.
It wasnt until recently assessing a licentiate students submission
for membership of the Radionic Association and after reading a simple
statement drawing to a close her dissertation on My Understanding of
Radionics that I fell to pondering on how she had come to review and
re-evaluate her comprehension of her present stage in life, and how this
had been realised through commitment to healing through studying and
practising the discipline of radionics.
Her statement was, When I began the course I had no idea how my life
was to change. I actually wonder whether the course is designed for our
self-development, a spiritual journey for us: the fact that we can help heal
patients is a bonus! There have been plenty of tears shed along the way but
these are all part of the learning process and no-one said it was going to be
easy.
Well, learning is as ongoing for me as it will be for Rosalyn, our new
4

member and it certainly is not easy for me to attempt to put into words
my understanding of how radionics can serve as a catalyst for the spiritual
evolution of the practitioner. I am profoundly aware of the enrichment to
my life by the privilege of being of service to others through the benefaction
of radionics. I am truly blessed to be given such purpose to my life and it is
thrilling and humbling so to be used. But it is very difficult to express what
has occurred to enable me better to understand my spiritual self and the quiet
evolution that is taking place. How does one describe the indescribable?
In recognising and accepting my personal inadequacy in addressing this
task I sought the help of my spirit-world Friends. (I should explain briefly
that the manner of their transposing spirit-world material into current
English usage is, by our standards, quaint and often long-winded. They
once explained to me, Here we do not have your English language and
grammar; we communicate with what you would call occult colours. Well,
I know how difficult it is for me to translate simple school-boy French into
English so goodness knows the difficulty my spiritual communicants must
have especially bearing in mind what an erstwhile friendly acquaintance
described to me some years after her so-called death, For you to know
what it is like here would be for you to imagine walking into a star of a
myriad brilliant colours of light.)
My spirit-world Friends, clearly aware of my diffidence, sought to
encourage me because their response was:Before you manifest your attempted description of the indescribable
know that co-operating Angels en rapport with you and who know all you
need to know for your conscious mind to be informed about us when we
attend to suffering on the Maitreya level and the alleviating of such suffering,
will surely tell you about that which is wonderful and which accomplishes
your physical-life work in healing. All manner of things of your material
and spiritual worlds are to be influenced by what you and your colleagues
call radionics: through this your patients receive Gods lower-world light of
blessed indescribable phenomena called healing and which on your physical
plane is achieved by your sensitivity to disorder in your patients. This is in
fact truly your own particular earth-plane training to further in you feelings
of heavenly awareness of yourselves in service to others and also for the
continuing spiritual advancement of yourselves in associating with Soul
need for each of you. Your quiet surrender in compassionate but detached
attention to the needs of your patients also leads you to attune to that which
is your own Higher Self need. They went on to advise me that the preferred
title should be, Who Heals Whom?
I was then led to explore the definition of Maitreya, to read that he is a
5

highly revered Buddhist saint associated with healing and who is reputed to
have said to an aspiring Buddhist monk, The water of compassion courses
through the channel of loving kindness.
My spiritual Friends then continued, making clear their thoughts on the
purpose of their proposed title:When in radionic interaction with your patient you are experiencing a
phenomenon that is essentially a spiritual one and one in which you grow
in the light of your own spiritual advancement. The underlying principles
and love of your work in radionics depends on particular qualities of subtle
awareness of both the patient and yourself as practitioner. Preparing the
analysis does for both make potent important healing relationships that bring
the parties into a balance that serves in the purpose of greater mutual benefit.
Associated with your becoming familiar with your patients disharmonies
and the forces that cause the suffering of your patient and especially your
questioning closely the causes behind your patients illness, perfects the real
essence of what is fundamentally a blessed spiritual opening of yourself to
the needs of another spiritual being, who, like you, is at present experiencing
consciousness of the material plane. In the state of spiritual openness held
by you as practitioner in attuning to your patient, in innocence, absence
of self-opinion and in selflessness, you receive information which is a
form of re-construction of the circumstances germane to the disorders and
imperfections of your patient. This provides you with an understanding of
that which is necessary for your part in blessed healing work to perfect again
that which was imperfect and, in the love that is your radionics, restore to
order the disarrayed harmonies manifesting as illness in the sufferer.
In communing, through your radiesthetic power and meditative and
tranquil state of mind, held in the love necessary for your healing work,
you are in effect surrendering to a wisdom directed to you from a realm of
that spiritual phenomenon you call your Higher Self which is itself in occult
communication with the world of supersensible beings dedicated to the care
and love of humankind and all things of Gods created sensory-world you
call the physical plane.
They continued,
Contemplate: in order to function your work in radionics requires the
indescribable effect of a sacred domain, one which is concerned with and
donates to the physical world. This manifests directly from higher-world
phenomena which, through supersensible beings well compassionate for
Gods beautiful human life and all things of heavenly creation, indescribably
charge the light of your sense-world consciousness. You are, in your present
physical-world experience, to strive to attain complete attunement with
6

spirit-world life for within the heart of that life is that which truly is a
Soul-world blessing for you i.e. your given responsibility of service to your
patients. There are times when you are beset by doubts and worries attached
to your feeling up to the task before you and your ability to carry what may
seem to be a burden of accountability for your patients (I think, many of us,
recognise that one!) but never fear your journey ahead, for as you have been
watched over all your life and, in spite of your fears, have been brought
through all the trials and difficulties of your life, so God will continue to take
you through the uncertainties of the future. Awaken in yourselves and heed
your positive Inner Being which purposefully has inevitable freedom from
your earth-plane confusion and doubt.
Well, these are all very fine words and in principle one can hardly gainsay
the wisdom inherent in them. But to apply this wisdom to everyday life
is the purpose of this advice not only for its pertinence to ones radionic
practice but also its relevance closely associated with ones conduct in the
rest of ones activities and behaviour. I often recall the message I received
some years ago from one of my spiritual counsellors reminding me of the
subordinate role played by my transient physical life experience running
concurrently and intrinsically with the supreme reality of my parent
spiritual self. The implication of the message still inspires me with awe and
demands that I never forget the true priorities in the reality that is my Life.
The message read, As you conduct yourself in your everyday physicalworld life so there is a reciprocal influence in your Higher Self.
I suppose we all know in our hearts that we need to be mindful of the
quality of our relationships with others and our responses to the vicissitudes
of life but how often do we match up to what we deeply know we expect of
ourselves? I know I am sadly wanting. It helps, of course, to remind oneself
of what is the reality of our existence, namely that what we generally take to
be the status quo of life is in fact a fleeting truth, that this lifetime is but a brief
moment, that we are here as temporary visitors in the ongoing phenomenon
of existence, what Buddhists call the Continuity of Consciousness, but the
grasp of that reality is so often felt as remote from the physical, perceptible
world bracketed and comprehended by physical-life birth and death.
Through having some knowledge, as I understand it, of what actually
happens when we attend a patient and are given information to enable us to
make articulate our will to be of help to one in distress, we are enabled to see
beyond the limited one-fold vision of our sensory-world promptings and,
even if dimly at first, through two-fold vision, discern the presence of those
supersensory beings who are using one in a healing role and whose gentle
beneficence bestows upon us not only the wherewithal to apply with specific
purpose a healing programme but also to provide us with an opportunity to
7

act in what my spiritual Friends call a blessed spiritual opening of yourself

to the needs of another. This, as my spiritual ones give me to understand, is
how and where radionic work is accomplished and as a consequence spiritual
evolution of the practitioner is manifested. It is in the activated tranquillity of
mind and surrender to an environment of dispassionate love for another in
need that a state of grace develops between patient and practitioner. Poised
in this condition of mind fixed but else made vacant one evolves a sense of
awareness of ones Higher Self becoming more tangibly present and serves
as a reminder of our spiritual brethren always patiently in attendance despite
the frailties and failings of their earthly charges me and you. Their calm
tolerance of our weaknesses and doubts seems boundless and is a lesson to
us also to practise serenity and patience when confronting the difficulties
and complexities of our calling.
Each time we go to analysis and treatment with our patients, in the
manner I have described, we are, I believe, engaging in a form of sacrament,
a surrender to guided Higher-Self promptings which are aiding us not only
to be of service to others but through diminishing as much as possible ego
and practising the willing suspension of personality (Buckmaster Fullers
Less Is Greater) we open ourselves to light of spiritual dimensions wherein
resides a wisdom beyond the grasp of our pre-conditioned consciousminds. It is in this state of spiritual receptiveness that the light of ones own
Inner-Self consciousness is enabled to reflect the brilliance of Higher World
illumination and it is here that Soul enrichment is manifest and with it the
fuller expression of ones needed spiritual evolution. So, patients needs,
practitioners needs, who heals whom?
In this respect I am aware that in certain circumstances practising
radionics could prove divisive in some marriages, partnerships etc. and I
think it prudent to realise that this evolutionary process is not without its
risks and there is a need to accept that the subtle changes in ones life will
be noticed by family and friends who might well feel that you are somehow
growing away from them. With regard to this I received an instruction
from my spiritual Friends: You, as a progressing human-being in your needed
indescribable, wise and heavenly sensitivity, require your trusting yourself to
dismiss negative thoughts and doubts about your suitability to embrace the higher
mysteries through information revealed to you containing spirit-world principles:
these are most certainly associated with occult learning of higher knowledge. Above
all you must develop further gentleness and inner quiet, risking compromising that
which your family close-ones know as the comfortable and usual you. With all care
for them and their feelings you must nevertheless endure any disapproval knowing
that your awakened understanding of the spiritual nature of your work in radionics
is the medium in which your spiritual evolution flourishes while you are in your
8

earth-plane experience. Further, know that your being overshadowed by indecision

and vacillation will engender in your mind a hostile esoteric consciousness which,
through moments of doubt in the rightness of your calling and its implications,
will manifest in your humankind consciousness as thoughts that produce confusion
in your mind as a practitioner; this causes you to understand information that is
flawed (for example when we get wrong readings in our analyses). For you to be
free of flawed information when working in your radionics it is essential that you
know attunement with spirit-world beings, and in peace of heart, calmness and
tranquillity say to yourself, I associate with perfect peace in receiving information
from My Known Ones Non-Carnate (or Spiritual Counsellors, Guides, or
whatever term you prefer for your own needs). This little affirmation, said
quietly and in a relaxed manner, is extremely effective in bringing me into
the right frame of mind throughout the process of analysis, treatment or just
taking down messages from spirit-world communicants. I keep this little
affirmation on my desk within eyeshot always and throughout working
time I frequently refer to it. Colleagues of mine to whom I have mentioned
this also find it very useful. You might find it worthwhile to note it down
although Im sure you have your own methods of adopting the right frame
of mind when at work.
In valediction may I mention a couple more tangible benefits of freer
access to our spiritual world and those supersensory beings who use
us an extension of a channel for healing. I was recently approached by
a partnership of professional holistic practitioners, not radionic, who
had previously consulted me for dismissing psychic interference in their
patients. The patient in question, Miranda, I quote, is a delightful mother
of one little girl, happily married who came to see us two years ago with
all the symptoms of the onset of multiple sclerosis. Both Jennifer (the other
professional partner) and I feel that there is a main obstacle, however, to
full recovery. In the last treatment it became apparent that she had a belief
or fear about herself which is preventing her from getting totally better and
going on to have another child.
We discovered she had been exposed to an extraordinary number of
sick children, very often thrust into her face at a time when she was most
vulnerable, often swallowing her own tears. Soon after nursing her favourite
grandmother, who died, she lost her first child in difficult circumstances.
She embarked on an international showbiz tour when she discovered she
was pregnant. She lost the baby and later continued touring hospital wards
for dying children around the country for a whole year. She had to hide
her double grief and the appalling pains she experienced as a result of poor
medical attention.
This woman has always had a very natural and beautiful connection with
9

children who immediately take to her, whether ill or not. Children always
flock to her. At that time she felt her duty lay in giving them their last
entertainment: she always put herself second.
When she decided to have another baby she was suddenly besieged by
intense fears of having a sick or handicapped child. As a result she became
utterly obsessed with the health of her daughter. She would like to have
another child now but we dont feel she has recovered fully. We dont know,
apart from the obvious traumas described above, if there are other subtle
body interferences.
After establishing, spiritually, that I had permission to go to Miranda I
agreed to help and in a telephone conversation with her she said at one
point, My biggest impact of stress was with a little dying girl I visited. I
was thought to be exactly like the Indian Princess Pocahuntas in a Disney
film, and this little girl, too ill to be lifted up, kept pulling me down towards
her; her parents were sobbing at her bedside. It was all I could do not to
breakdown myself. She died shortly afterwards and after this experience I
gave up visiting children in hospices.
During radionic enquiry it was revealed that she was suffering, in the
spiritual realm we call buddhic, from psychic interference at something over
60 per cent severity.
The analysis unfolded thus:CAUSES ... main obstacle to full recovery ... = Psychic interference
associated with Little Dying Girl visited by Miranda and who saw Miranda
as a human manifestation of Disney animated character Pocahuntas.
(Miranda couldnt recall the Little Dying Girls name).
Spiritual Friends further elaborated the analysis thus:
Treatment for Miranda needs your achieving association with express
dismissal of psychic interference from four entities, non-carnate, one of
which is Little Dying Girl. The other three are all discarnate beings, exhuman children, visited while in human form, by Miranda. I was instantly
puzzled by what form of psychic interference was affecting Miranda.
We then went to treatment for Miranda, and effected what was required
for dismissal of psychic interference (This included: Negate shock psychic
trauma to effect co-ordination buddhic body)
After treatment the degree of psychic interference read 0%. This
accomplished I put up some questions:
Q1 What, please, was the collective intent of the four non-carnate ones
causing the psychic interference?
10

A. Commanding Miranda to see them in a state of perfect happiness in

light of indescribable spiritual evolution. (At buddhic body level)
Q2 Why should such a happy state of mind so affect Miranda as to cause
an obstacle?
A. Because these subtle realm promptings are interpreted by Miranda
at astral level as reminders to her of the human-world state of the children
she once knew. This gave her fear of her own children being in state of
sickness.
Q3 What caused the spiritually benign and positive motive of the four
deceased human beings to be transformed into a negative interpretation by
Miranda?
A. Because in Mirandas buddhic realm there exists a condition known
as dismal feelings of depression caused by her too closely identifying in
sisterhood with suffering children. Miranda therefore saw her own children
in light of such suffering.
Q4 So, in Mirandas buddhic realm there is a negative factor?
A. Yes, but you have done all you were asked to do therefore forsake
further questions.
I could not have experienced this correspondence-like communication
with my spiritual Friends, in this case teaching me new material about
psychic interference, were it not for my work in radionics. The insight
into spirit-world thoughts given me is a bonus granted by committed and
regular excursions into radionic work in the manner recommended to me by
my spiritual counsellors.
Finally, and forgive me if this is an impertinence, certainly none is intended,
we all get from time to time notifications of wonder systems that will, as an
example I quote, This system integrates revolutionary (healing) technology
with the principles of holistic health to bring the best in complementary
medicine technology working closely with Doctors, Homoeopaths, Chinese
Medicine Practitioners, Vibrational Medicine and Energy Medicine
Specialists and other Complementary Medicine Practitioners Healing
Todays Problems With Tomorrows Technology. All very tempting and
as with all these systems and techniques offered me I always check to see
the value of such to my patients and practice. To my enquiry about this
latest one I received a zero rating; but there might well be those for whom
it would be useful but, I wonder, might it not also be at a risk to personal
subtle evolution because in extending their reply my Friends announced,
This system is for those associated with wanting to find a cure-all means
of healing. Radionics has graduated beyond this concept by understanding
11

that our spiritual-world is the essential ingredient in a truly holistic healing

expression of that which is Gods Love and Compassion.?
It is, I believe, through disciplined, constant application and sustained
endeavour by the practitioner to surrender, in love, all personal aspirations
and opinion when in healing interaction with the patient, endeavouring to
achieve a state of complete, selflessness in communion with the source of
healing, that evolution in spiritual advancement is effected and, for me in
looking forward, one day, to achieving this, no one says its going to be easy!
