The Shepherd or the Wolf

There is a wonderful phrase of wisdom that states: "The Sorcerer manipulates and the Healer facilitates."

This is a very important understanding in this age of change where people are looking for spiritual guidance not necessarily found in their traditional fundamental teachings. People who are looking to explore new ways to grow spiritually are very much like new lambs, looking for their shepherd not knowing how to do this safely in a world of wolves. How can people tell the difference between the Sorcerer wolf, and the Shepherd healer?

Since we live in a plan of free will, the same information is available to the Sorcerer and the Healer. Both have access to the same laws of the universe. The difference is in the intention. A sorcerer will say: I am the only one who can help you; You must always come to me only; I know more than you what is best for you. The Healer will say: You can learn how to do this; You have the freedom to choose; You will be able to do this on your own. A Sorcerer will make a person feel weak and dependant, and a Healer will teach a person how to be empowered and independent.

Another important signal to look for is in the glow of the leader. If there is a warm glow like the sun, you are seeing a person who is walking in service to humanity. If you see a cool glow, that looks grey, similar to the shine of the moon, you are seeing a powerful person in service to their own ego.

If you are a lamb and discover that the person you thought was a shepherd is actually a wolf, bless them as you walk away, for they taught you many lessons of discernment for the future.
