Question
Hello, Master Kosen,
How are you? I am a "magnetic healer" and instructor in energy healing. I am gradually developing a practice based on empathy and compassion (when I think about another person, I feel them physically, emotionally, mentally, etc.), then I let things happen without intervening—ideally—and without seeking results, and things move.
The more my awareness of myself, others, the world, the Self, God, and so on changes, the more the treatment I provide changes. My work as an instructor aims to teach exercises that develop empathic sensations and the perception of energies, whatever they may be, kinesthetically, proprioceptively, visually, and so on, and develop a relationship based on empathy and/or compassion. I have trouble distinguishing between them.
Here is my question: when I am in "I" facing "you" mode, I can understand helping another person in their suffering, but I feel uncomfortable intervening. When I feel in "universal Self" mode, I no longer understand what the other person is experiencing. Their suffering seems illusory, and I no longer see what I should do. Intervention seems to become role-playing, without meaning. I understand that one wave cannot act on another, yet there is a demand for it. If healing in the other person's consciousness depends not on me but on the "Self" expressing itself, what am I for?
I see all the exercises I can develop, the skills I can improve, the knowledge I can acquire and transmit, but regularly, in this "infinite Self," none of it makes sense... Then I simply want to sit and let the universe express itself. But afterward, someone arrives limping, suffering, crying, and I wonder why I should get up to relieve that person. In short, I feel pulled in different directions...
Thank you very much. Your answers make me laugh. Warmly, Olivier

Answer from Master Kosen
In my view, providing treatment to relieve others is not a matter of the thinking mind or intellect, except in making a diagnosis.
After that, the question is: "Do I have the skills and means to relieve this person?"
This might involve clay, a few homeopathic pellets, osteopathic manipulation, or any other method in which we are certain of our competence.
Then we commit and give our best.
Once it is done, we have nothing more to regret or expect.
