Amos, that poem is adorable. Thank you!

Physician, heal thy self.

ttr, Two Bears spends a good part of every day doing just that. For anyone serious about learning HUNA or any other energetic healing modality, doing the extensive inner work necessary to improve oneself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually is not a choice anymore. It's a prerequisite, and a requirement.

Like Nike says, Just Do It - or your energy work will not "work" very well at all.

TWo Bears is no charlatan. I do know a charlatan when I see one these days. That's one lesson I hope I will never have to re-learn.

It wasn't really that this other shaman I knew was a fake. He could move plenty of life-force energy to help others if and when he chose to - which wasn't very often.

The difference is he was driven by the desire to manipulate and exert power and control over others, by money and delusions of grandeur. These character traits plus his oodles of natural charisma PLUS his ability to direct mana (Hawaiian for life-force energy or chi) to effect all manner of miraculous-looking phenomena -- leaving newbies to energy work slack-jawed boogie-eyed, believe me -- made him a very dangerous person to know.

This person hurt and robbed a lot of people, including me. He left a few dead women in his wake - and they died in a manner the doctors could not explain, and the police could not investigate.

There are no laws to cover "black magick".

If you knew about the physical disabilities, family traumas and abuse Two Bears has suffered I think you would understand him a little better. Those experiences are what made him the powerful and generous healer he is today.

LH is telling the truth, and so am I to the best of my ability - Two Bears is the Real McCoy, and HUNA is the Real Thing. I have my back back to prove it - and that's just one of the many many HUNA healings and "miracles" I've experienced and witnessed this year.

Unfortunately, the way Two Bears expresses himself in public often puts people off and damages his reputation.   :-(   So who's perfect?

I could go on and on but I'm not supposed to be comparing, judging, arguing or wanting to know all the "whys and wherefores" about others any more.

*sigh* I've messed that up already, I think.

Oh well, I'm by no means perfect either. I think life would be pretty bland if I was.
