HEALING PRESENCE

About the Book

This book is written in a theistic context; that, I believe God is in control. It is not an easy proposition to intelligent, technical and scientifically thinking AI Robotic brains. Existence itself is the Love-Truth that infill and surrounds all that exist, It is The all-inclusive - ‘IS’. Existence itself is a present- continuous-ongoing-event that can only be represented by ‘IS’ or the present-continuous- state-of-being. The idea of meta-love counseling or ‘beyond’ counseling is, being-in-the- moment-that-reveals-itself to the one who is ready in sensitive alertness to receive whatever IS. This book maintains that none is entitled to alter the perpetual ‘IS” The ‘Counselor’ as Jesus meant will lead you into situations that redeem and heal. The idea is very simple. In that particular state-of-being the counselor whom we refer to as the Christian-Meta-Love –Counselor or a Healing Presence, functions as a conduit of healing in the confused, suffering, broken, desperate, defeated, self-centered, unforgiving individuals to gain freedom from their private bondage to experience Healing. It is not as much as what the Meta-Love-Counselor does but who she or he is within the glorious presence of Jesus who in fills the Meta-love-counselor to function as an agent of the healing in and through the Meta-love-counselor only acts as a channel of healing. The Holy Spirit; source of all comfort and healing begins flowing to the person in need, through you, who functions as a genuine conduit for the happening, healing process. The dynamics of such happenings is not explainable technically; as it is there for anyone in the Spirit to experience it and for those outside it to reject outright. Without love, the counselee will only be influenced to believe everything is fine. Love-Truth makes all things possible including all comforting, healing and wholeness. Surrounded by Love-Truth, all things become possible. Surrender in Love-Truth to sense the magic of love.

About the Author

“For often I have put my finger in my own wound that I might have the greater belief in you and the greater knowledge of you” Kahlil Gibran This book deals with counseling events wherein pains are made bare, searching and seeking healing through the loving harmony generated between the counselor and counselee to discover the meaning of all that takes place in individual lives; not knowing and not acknowledging their own responsibility in whatever is happening. Thoughtless and quick angry reactions produce greater damage especially in the absence of willingness to respond to life in love. My friend, colleague and mentor, the venerable late Prof. P. P. Thomas, an undisputed veteran in Counseling had put it straight to me; “Life has inputs and outputs. Outcomes in life are one’s own making; in anger or in love” You see this happening in lives around us and in our own lives. “Who Stole the Cookies?” is a first book in a series of four books which started with that book, and then “Who ME?” and “Oh No Not Me”. These books deal with counseling stories meant for the readers to think and find answers for the questions at the end of each story. All the stories are real. Places and names are reverentially altered with utmost care. Any resemblance to any individuals in the events would be incidental and never intentional. The last one in the series ‘Yes, You!’ is in the making. Other Counseling related books by Dr. Alex Mathew are; ‘Beyond Techniques’; ‘Making of a Christian Counselor’; ‘Life as a Branch’; ‘Do Not Write Off the Least’ Dr. Mathew lost his wife Grace, in Dec 2022 and now lives alone in the company of the Lord Jesus in Kochi and can be contacted on:- +0 484 2966821+ 91 944 766 5024; Email: alexnilamel5@gmail.com
