Then Stephen and Rolling Thunder continued down the road until Rolling Thunder asked what time he needed to be at the location of the ceremony. Stephen told him what time he was expected and Rolling Thunder then asked Stephen to stop the car and let him out. Rolling Thunder walked into the woods and Stephen continued on.
The next day Rolling Thunder walked up to the location of the ceremony and at the same time an ambulance arrived with the two boys and their doctors. One boy was brought out of the ambulance and Rolling Thunder started his healing ceremony.
Rolling Thunder used what looked like a breast a wing of a raven and used sweeping motions over the boy’s body. Then Rolling Thunder asked Stephen for one of the steaks to be unwrapped and dropped onto the ground and Stephen complied. Rolling Thunder continued the sweeping motion with the raven breast and wing.
Stephen described a misty figure that looked like a wolf show up behind Rolling Thunder. It was an eerie sight to say the least.
The boy Rolling Thunder was working on had a deep gash in his skin that looked quite serious. At the end of the healing ceremony, the place where the boy’s wound was no longer was open but completely closed and pink in color.
The other boy was brought to Rolling Thunder and the same ceremony was preformed. Stephen was asked to un-wrap the other steak and drop it on the ground near the other one. Then Stephen saw the same apparition of the wolf as before but this time it was not appearing as clear and definite. It seemed to be fading in and out for some reason.
Rolling Thunder then stopped suddenly and said that this boy could not be healed because his mother was interfering with the healing. He said that the mother, for some reason, does not want the boy to heal. Stephen explained that the boy had become very independent and recently moved away from home. His mother did not want to let him go so when the boy got sick the mother had her boy back and she was unwilling to let that change.
Stephen described the state of the steaks that were dropped on the ground. He said they looked like they’d been sitting out for days. The explanation was that Rolling Thunder was pulling out the negative energy causing the ailments in the boys and putting it in the steaks.
Ritual is just spiritual sciences developed by empirical observation over long periods of time. Every human culture has a concept of an intermediary or force that can cause a change through the attention on an intention.
A common question is whether the patients have to believe in healing or not. The answer is no they do not. It’s helpful if they believe and are open but a person can still be affected by an intention of another. However, it is best to not send specific healing without the individual’s request so instead send general healing.
There was a woman who had a kidney stone. The healing group that was praying for her decided they would explode the stone. When she went into surgery they found the stone was in many pieces so a short surgical procedure ended up taking much longer in order to find all the pieces to the stone.
Religious ceremonies is a kind of protocol and if you look at the various religious activities they all have certain things in common:
- Meet at particular time
- Chant or sing
- Reason for gathering is common for all
Through these experiments it has been found that distance and time doesn’t seem to make a difference, however, if you have a protocol for expressing your intention that seems to make a difference. Sending healing intention can effect every level of living organisms. We now can say pretty firmly that healing is not just one thing but many processes. It also doesn’t matter which version of God you use or even if you don’t call on a God at all it will still work.
Is one prayer enough or does a person need multiple prayers? An experiment Stephan did was to have someone pray for a bottle of water for 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes and then measuring the HO bonding relationship. He found that the 5 minute prayer results were the same as the 15 minutes. However, prayer over a long period of time may have an increasing effect but we just don’t know that right now.
