DOCTORS, HEALERS, TOOLS

The tool that you are holding in your hand is a real miracle. However, we do not call it so, as we all know very well, that there are no miracles. Nature is not only wise, but complicated as well. It is also extremely complicated for us to understand with our present knowledge, what we are really like, and to understand the other materials and all the living creatures of the universe.
Naturally, we are extremely interested in the questions of the body, existence and health. Philosophers have written a lot about the meaning of our existence, great and less great thinkers have considered the question many times: Why do we live here on Earth?
As far as our body and health are concerned, we all feel involved with the question, as it is about us. This is really the case, but can we really help if something goes wrong? We would rather turn to a doctor. Well, in Europe, as opposed to other parts of the world in the past two hundred years, a system has come into being, which calls itself enlightened and has adjusted itself to the modern age. This system works if we feel under the weather, or we feel, that we are not very well, or even if we suspect that something goes wrong, we turn to a woman or man dressed in a white coat. This person has attended university previously for years, graduated, received his or her diploma. And then, whatever happens, he can cure. If he cannot cope with our disease, or if he can not diagnose the problem, he will send us to a colleague, who has better equipment or deeper knowledge about the problem at hand.
When we decide to see him, we are taken to a huge building where the walls are white, and so are the equipment, beds and the staff. Soon, even if we do not want it, we become a part of this white world. We are the ones, with the illness. The doctors gather around, and install all the clever equipment to examine and cure us. This results in a "more or less success" in most of the cases.
However, at other parts of the world, and long time ago in Europe, this was not what people believed in. At other places, healing does not happen this way, or at least not only this way nowadays. There have been sorcerers and shamans. They still exist today, and they are healers too. They do not use any equipment, as they do not need any. They judge things from other signs, as they are experts in other types of therapies and they do believe in them.
These alternative therapies originate mainly from the East, and have started to come back to the West again. There are several reasons for this. Above all, one of the reasons is as it has turned out by today, that the western therapies (including the ones applied in Hungary in the last two hundred years) are not always effective. The patient is not always cured, or very often remains ill, and furthermore, the side effects of these therapies are at least as harmful as the disease itself.
It is understood that many times doctors can not do anything else, but what they actually do. If there is a broken leg, the wound has to be healed, and the patient must be placed in a peaceful environment, furthermore, he may need certain medicines.
The opponents of this method say, that medical science and the style of human treatment, is going in the wrong direction, as it tries to cure the body only, or attempts to have an effect on it, whilst at the same time, it can not deal with the patients' spirit and with his changed or injured consciousness. What is more, it does not want to deal with these factors at all. The most painful part is - as they reason - that modern medical science has separated the soul from the body. It has no interest beyond the tissues, or the restoration of functions in certain parts of the human body.
With this, it is not surprising that Eastern healers (who can be found at every part of the world), are supported by people, who agree with the above mentioned basic principle, and do not place chemical or mechanical treatment in the focal point. Instead, greater importance is placed on the particular methods of natural healing, to preserve our health or treating illnesses or injuries.
Lazlo Harasztosi is one of these healers.
