Rawn's Self-Healing Archaeous

The Self-Healing Archaeous by Rawn Clark

Until fairly recently, the most common philosophy underlying the treatment of disease was the idea that healing could be best accomplished by strengthening the body's own natural mechanisms of self-repair. The vision of today's western medicine however, has shifted focus from strengthening the human body, to artificially regulating it; and from healing the human body itself, to destroying the bodies of specific invading organisms. Perhaps in moderation this is a wise and appropriate tactic for our times -- times in which it seems the human immune-system faces insurmountable challenges -- but dare we head so recklessly and with so little forethought, toward completely writing-off our bodies' own natural powers?

I for one, say "no". I think we must cherish and nurture these powers. If we combine them with our western medical approach, perhaps then we will find the ability to transform apace with our changing environment. This at least, has been my particular approach to healing, and it is a bias which you will find echoed throughout this Archaeous.

Healing is a topic which concerns me both practically and philosophically. For example, I do not equate "healing" with "cure", though I really like it when they coincide! I see that struggle, pain, and death, are each as healing in their own ways as are ease, pleasure, and re-birth.

They are all inevitable in life, so for "health" to really mean anything, I believe it must encompass them all and empower one to creatively adapt to them all. To me, "health" does not equal "living forever". My personal sense of health, is defined by the quality of my life, not by its duration.

Self-healing is a part of my magical practice. As such, my approach to self-healing is as varied as the magical Traditions I have practiced -- multiplied, of course, by my unleashed imagination. The specific techniques of the Self-Healing Archaeous, stem directly from my work with Franz Bardon's excellent book, "Initiation Into Hermetics".

Like Bardon, the Archaeous defines three "bodies" which correspond to three "realms": Mental, Astral, and Physical. The healing effects of the Archaeous are achieved through the conscious manipulation of these three bodies, and most especially, through their integration.

At every step in the Archaeous, one works in conscious cooperation with the pathways of influence and power which Nature herself provides. The technique mimics one of Nature's most essential processes: Integration + Separation + Re-integration . . . the rhythm of life itself. To this fundamental equation, is added the practitioner's own magical will, along with the focus of healing.

Prerequisite to beginning work with this Self-Healing Archaeous, I recommend that you undergo a sincere process of self-discovery. We each come to know ourselves by our own unique paths -- some with concentrated effort, some with apparent ease, some only by graduation from the "School of Hard Knocks", etc. -- so I won't presume to dictate how you specifically should go about this task. It is imperative that you understand however, that for healing effects to reliably result from the Archaeous practice, you must have first healed (by whatever means) the most basic wounds which frighten you away from self-knowledge. If these wounds are still raw within you, then please address them prior to pursuing the Archaeous. Otherwise, the Archaeous may prove distressing to you, and you will risk manifesting only the negative pole of the healing continuum.

When approached from a well grounded and honest knowledge of one's self, the healing effects of the Archaeous will be affirmative of one's inner health, and will directly externalize it. As is Nature's way, what you sow, will determine what you eventually reap.
