Hello, this question comes
up a lot. So thought I would devote a few more pixels to the issue.
Ditto goes for remote healing or Reiki sending. Now the question is, are they right ?
In my personal opinion, NO, for several reasons, the above image is an example of one of them.
Telephone lines, which
is what the picture is supposed to represent.
Said lines bursting with
energy and power that we Cyber
Pagans, send to each other and to others.
There is, in a very real
sense of the word, a physical connection between the sender and the receiver.
Every time your in a
chat room, email, instant message, you are literally connected,
via a physical wire of
metal, ceramics or optics, to the person your talking to.
It's no different than
if you picked up the phone and were talking to them using your voice, the
connection is the same.
Now an experience that
any Thecno Pagan has had is crashing their computer when they send energy
thorough it, or watching their
clock in the system tray
run backwards when they blast the screen with power to send to another.
Enough evidence in of itself
to prove that real power
is being sent, but is it being received ?
Oh yes, very much so and with good, sound physics as the reason why.
What is the power we send
? For the most part it's electrical, the body runs on it and the mind can
easily channel it.
And what are the wires
we speak over intended to carry ? Electrical impulses, so is it any great
leap of reasoning to
believe that it can and
does carry the power we send ? I personally think it's not hard to accept.
Now does one NEED such
a connection to send energy remotely ?
No, but the fact we can
do so is widely accepted. What does one normally do in real life, say during
ritual ?
We build up the power
and send it out. Using the ley lines
of earth, which are themselves electrical in nature.
So again, even to raise
and send out a cone of power, we have to consider the metaphysics
of the action.
As they are the same
thing, the lines of force of the earth itself can be measured by their
electrical output.
Even person to person
you are doing the same thing, the only difference is you can reach out
and touch them.
Which for some things
is best, but not entirely required.
The will is all that matters,
if you will that the power you have raised be sent to a given person
and they accept that
gift, distance is irrelevant. I have held both "real" life rituals as High
Priestess and Cyber rites
and you know what, there
is absolutely no difference between them, as long as all participates
are in mind and heart
connection with each other.
In fact I find there tends
to be a bit more perhaps, as each party has to concentrate on sending the
power outward,
there is less distraction
and there is a literal physical line between the coven and their HP, direct
to them.
It's no difference than
standing together and holding hands, just our reach is a great deal longer.
