Core Questions
about VortexHealing:
What is a Divine healing
art?
It is one that is derived solely from Divine
energy and consciousness, and where the Divine Source for that healing art is
guiding the movement of that energy and consciousness. The Divine is the
Transcendent, Immanent and Utterly Unfathomable Source of All, but also has pure
Expressions of Itself that can act as a Source for various kinds of lineages,
whether spiritual, religious or a healing/awakening lineage such as
VortexHealing. (A ‘lineage’ is a direct line of teachings going back to a single
source.)
How deeply can VortexHealing
work?
In VortexHealing, the ability to heal with
the source energy of its lineage is given by ‘direct consciousness
transmission’, where the Divine source of the lineage transmits all that is
needed for practicing VortexHealing directly into the student’s consciousness.
This has 3 aspects to it: a) direct transmission of the energetic healing tools,
b) a movement that evolves and accelerates the healer’s energy system and
consciousness, enabling it to be a better vehicle for the Divine work that is
coming through it, and c) the creation of a unique
BRIDGE in the student's system so that all the divine power that can be accessed
by the student's system is also bridged very deeply into the receiver of the
healing. With each level of class all three aspects of the transmissions
go deeper, and there is a deeper and deeper bridging of the Divine through the
healer’s system. At just the Basic level, the student receives transmissions
that enable the channeling of 49 forms of Vortex energy and the
consciousness of a divine healing realm. With these, the meridian system
can be cleared and harmonized, ‘karma knots’—which are a core support for karmic
& emotional issues—can be cleared, and deep clearings can be done through
the various energetic bodies, chakras and physical tissues, and the system as a
whole can be deeply energized. After the second class, the healer is able to
bridge deeply enough into physicality to transform, for example, the sound of
musical instruments, improving their sound quality—in less than a minute. At the
deeper levels of VortexHealing, the very roots of emotional conditioning and
identity, including genetic conditioning, can be transformed.
What is the Merlin
lineage?
It is the historical line of teachers
and students that have learned VortexHealing from the Divine Expression that
calls itself Merlin. (The Merlin that is associated
with King Arthur was not this Divine Expression but one of the human teachers of
the Merlin lineage.) All Divine Expressions bring into manifestation a unique
quality of the Divine. Merlin brings in the quality of magical transformation.
Merlin’s healing art, VortexHealing, transforms emotional conditioning,
transforms physicality and transforms ego-identity. The movement of that
transformation is through the Divine magic of Merlin’s energy and consciousness.
The nature of that movement is the magical awakening of conditioned
consciousness to its true nature and expression.
How was VortexHealing
discovered?
VortexHealing is an ancient healing
art that had become lost and was then recovered and further developed. The
modern re-founder of VortexHealing is Ric Weinman, who recovered VortexHealing
(in 1994) when Merlin ‘intervened’ in Ric’s life, generating a transcendent
experience that re-awakened Ric’s memory of having studied this Divine healing
art in two past lives, so that it could be re-manifested at this time. (For more
details on this experience and the development of VortexHealing, click HERE.)
What is the significance of spiritual
awakening?
Our experience is that we are a localized, personal, separate self—a
particular ‘I’, a particular ego. This gives rise to a sense of me and mine, and
to a deep sense of lack and a fear of annihilation. It is the basis for all our
struggles, needs, conflicts and fears—for all of our emotional pain and
suffering. On an emotional level, healing can only go so deep as long as the
ego, which is the foundation for all that pain and suffering—and actually uses
that to define itself—continues as it was. All our pain and suffering, all of
our conflicts and experiences of struggle—it is all filled with I-consciousness.
Spiritual awakening is what heals us of the trance of being this individual ego.
Spiritual awakening, therefore, creates the opening and possibility for us to
finally and fully unhook from our issues. Instead of living from the pain and
suffering of a separate someone that is struggling through life, we finally have
the possibility to live from freedom. And as the movement into this freedom
deepens, and as we learn to embody this freedom in our day-to-day living, we
awaken to the direct experience that all of life is One—One Source, One Consciousness, One Divinity—and we are
That. From the point of view of healing, this is the true healing: we become
whole again!
How can VortexHealing facilitate
spiritual awakening?
Although spiritual awakening sometimes
seems to happen spontaneously, it never happens unless there has been sufficient
‘ripening’ first. Because the divine intention for the VortexHealing lineage is
to facilitate spiritual awakening, the Divine source of the lineage generates
this ripening continuously during VortexHealing classes and whenever
VortexHealing is being channeled—whether for oneself or someone else. Working in
the background in this way, the Divine source of the lineage ensures that by a
certain level of class, students have become sufficiently ripe to have their
first awakening movements in the Core Veil and Root of Liberation class.
(For more information on the nature of awakening and its embodiment, read the
articles Ric wrote on awakening by clicking HERE.)
Whyis VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing so powerful?
As described on the Home page, all of our pain
and suffering, all of our conflicts and experiences of struggle—it is all
filled with I-consciousness. To really change these
patterns then, you need something that can awaken I-consciousness. But the only
thing that can release the consciousness of separateness is that which is not
separate, which is the Divine, the Source Itself, also called the Self. That is
why VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing works solely with Divine light and
consciousness, bridging Source into the very roots of your issues. It releases
the consciousness of separateness, awakening consciousness to its true
nature—the Self, which has no sense separateness.
Most healing arts that work with the Divine use Divine energy
(also called Divine light) but do not access Divine consciousness.
Although Divine energy is pure healing energy, it is Divine consciousness
that transforms the roots of the consciousness of separateness. When Divine
consciousness is truly accessed, it also acts as an independent intelligence;
it knows exactly where the roots of your issues are held and goes directly
there to transform them. VortexHealing works with both Divine energy and Divine
consciousness, accessing both in a variety of ways.
We can see the potential healing
power of Divine consciousness when the VortexHealing healing realm is used on a
musical instrument. Because Divine consciousness is also able to work directly
through matter, the sound of the instrument changes remarkably—in less than one
minute it is richer, more harmonious and expresses more heart! (This is
mentioned in all the articles about VortexHealing.) This cannot easily be
accomplished with Divine energy alone.
But energy has a key role to play in healing as well. Somehealing arts use "chi" or ‘pranic energy’ or ‘life energy’. This is
not Divine energy but the energy of manifested life. This would also be true of
some energies that are referred to as ‘universal
energy’. Although these energies can be used for healing, they cannot work as
deeply as Divine energy. There are other healing arts that do use Divine light
or energy, and usually they have one particular light that is used. But
different kinds of Divine light can create different effects. As mentioned
earlier, VortexHealing uses 49 forms of Divine Vortex light; each one is
designed by the Divine to accomplish a different function, and each one goes
exactly where it needs to go to optimally help the person who is receiving
healing.
Another element that makes VortexHealing so powerful isthat it is taught through a process called ‘direct consciousness transmission’.
This means that VortexHealing is not taught to the mind as a ‘system of
thought’; it is imprinted directly by Divine consciousness into human
consciousness. (This is described on the Home page.)
The power of VortexHealing combined with the depth that itBridges into the body, and into the emotional and karmic consciousness, creates
a kind of transformation that can only be called magical. And at each level of
class, this Divine magic is bridged deeper into the student’s energy system,
for deeper healing and transformation, and to create a deeper ripening towards
awakening.
How much of the conditioning in our
issues is from childhood?
Our childhood
experiences are one kind of conditioning, but it is just one piece of the total
picture. Because we have had innumerable lives, all of our experiences from ALL
of our lives condition us. In the East, they say that this is our
"karma"; karma is nothing but conditioning, which can be held at many
levels of our being. Although we are used to identifying our body as just a
"physical" body, we also have an etheric body, an emotional body, a
mental body, a spiritual body, a vibrational body and a karmic body. These
bodies are your vehicles for various kinds of experience—physical experience,
emotional experience, mental experience, and so on. All of them are imprinted
with both our past life and present life conditioning. Our etheric body holds
conditioning that relates to our basic relationship with the world; our
emotional body holds our unprocessed emotions; our mental body holds our
attitudes and judgments; our spiritual body holds conditioning that relates to
loss of faith; and our karmic body holds all our past life memories and issues.
In addition, our physical body holds genetic conditioning, which is full of the
conditioning of our physical ancestors as well as other kinds of conditioning.
And there is more.
Often it seems like our childhood experiences and traumas
are more significant than they really are only because the family situation we
are born into will always exactly match the issues we are already deeply
involved in. For example, if a person who has a long karmic history of loss and
separation is born to a mother who is cold and unaffectionate, they will be
much more deeply affected than someone without that kind of history. The person
with the karmic history of loss is already deeply wrapped up in the feeling of
loss, so even small experiences of loss in the present may seem overwhelming to
them. And if they are unaware of their karmic past, they will believe that this
huge feeling of loss is being caused solely by present circumstances. They will
typically grow up blaming their parents for all these feelings, and will
probably learn to also blame their spouses and other aspects of their daily
existence. It is not that the feelings they have aren't real; it is that the
source of them is much older and deeper than what they imagine. They have been
conditioned by thousands of lives of history.
Fortunately, Divine intention has given VortexHealing the
power to be able to work on all the different levels of conditioning described
here (although genetic conditioning as well as some kinds of conditioning not
described here require advanced training to release).
Can VortexHealing be
used for situations as well, or just on individuals?
In the second level class, Magical
Structures, students are given a healing tool called
Merlin’s Global
Healing Grid, which can work on situations. For instance, if there is a problem
in a relationship, in a family, at work, in a company, etc, the situation can
be placed in Merlin’s Global Healing Grid, for healing and harmonizing. Global
issues can also be placed in this Grid, but the healing for anything so large
and so complex is very, very slow.
And yet, one must take the long-term view. So, the Merlin
lineage has historically always been very active in the work to transform
humanity as a whole. Merlin’s guidance has always been to directly use the
power available within his lineage for global evolution and awakening, not just
for the impact that work on individuals will create for the whole. So, students
often come together in small groups to facilitate this, and twice a year, large
numbers of students gather together with VortexHealing teachers to generate
what we call an ‘Earthshift’, in which certain situations or aspects of human
evolution are worked on.
How was VortexHealing® discovered?
The modern re-founder of VortexHealing, Ric
Weinman, had an experience in November 1994 that recovered this ancient art.
For whatever reason, the Divine intended to bring VortexHealing back into
manifestation in human life at that time, and Ric suddenly found himself
standing in a huge inter-dimensional vortex. His feet were still on the ground,
but the rest of him was ‘elsewhere’, and a voice that identified itself as the
Divine Expression named Merlin started to dialogue with him. It pointed out
that he had studied this in 2 past lives, that he already knew basic
VortexHealing. Following Merlin’s instructions, Ric re-discovered the
transmission for VortexHealing within himself, and a few weeks later he was
shocked to discover that in a single session he had healed a man of viral
chronic fatigue (called M.E. in some parts of the world) that he had had for 20
years. The man had tried everything during that time, including learning
another energetic healing art that he practiced daily on himself. During the
next months, Ric found himself healing conditions and diseases that he knew he
wouldn’t have been able to significantly impact before. Other people, seeing
this, wanted to learn to do what Ric was doing, and about 9 months later, he
offered the first VortexHealing class in Tucson, Arizona, where he was living
at the time.
Since then,
other teachers have received the VortexHealing teacher transmission through Ric
and are certified to teach VortexHealing in various parts of the world. In
addition, VortexHealing itself has undergone an enormous evolution. It has
evolved according to direct observation, testing, guidance from Merlin, and
drawing from the hands-on experience of Ric, together with all the teachers and
students of VortexHealing. In addition, new transmissions have come in for more
advanced levels of work that enable a much deeper interface into creation,
enabling students to work much deeper on both physical and emotional issues, on
themselves and others. The depth of the healing art today is far beyond what
was in ancient times, and it continues to evolve and deepen. (For the history
of the ancient beginnings of VortexHealing, see below.)
VortexHealingentered a new phase when Merlin facilitated Ric’s awakening in 2002, for that
brought into the lineage the possibility of generating the same movement for
students. Classes to facilitate awakening started soon after, and as Ric’s
awakening deepened and Merlin created deeper bridging within Ric’s system for
facilitating awakening others, it became clear that Merlin’s divine intention
for all students of his lineage was spiritual awakening. VortexHealing now had
two interweaving manifestations: that of a healing art and that of an awakening
path. (For more information on the nature of awakening and its embodiment, read
the articles Ric wrote on awakening by clicking HERE.)
What is the ancient history of
VortexHealing® and the Merlin Lineage?
VortexHealing began with a man named Mehindra who lived
about 5600 years ago. Although most human beings have long karmic histories in
which they have struggled within the experience of separation, there are always
a few beings on the earth that are born into humanness directly from Wholeness,
directly from Divine consciousness. Such divine beings have traditionally been
called avatars. Each such being brings a unique aspect of Divine
Expression into manifestation. Mehindra was such a being. The aspect of the
Divine he manifests is magical transformation. (In the west, the avatar we are
most familiar with is Jesus, but there have been many others, and in all ages,
there is always at least one avatar alive on the earth.)
After his death, Mehindra brought 7 other beings likehimself together to form a Divine ‘healing realm’ and used his own energy and consciousness
to form a link between that healing realm and human consciousness, which is how
VortexHealing got its name. In 753 B.C., a man living in what is now England,
who was close to enlightenment, received the gift of VortexHealing and specific
Vortex meditations as a Divine revelation from a being that appeared in his
consciousness while he was meditating. This being (who was Mehindra) called himself
‘Merlin’. (The name Merlin was chosen because that
name best represented, in English, the vibrational quality of transformation
magic that he was manifesting.) Working with this Divine gift, the man became
enlightened and began to pass the gift on to other people by the process of
direct consciousness transmission. Later in his life he passed on the ability
to teach VortexHealing to selected students. He also started the tradition that
if a teacher within the lineage reached a sufficient level of attunement to
Merlin, he was given the name Merlin. Thus the name Merlin was both a title and
a way to honor the Divine being who still manifests
and maintains this healing art. As the teachings of Merlin were passed by
direct consciousness transmission from teacher to teacher through the
generations, it became known as the Merlin ‘lineage’. Historically, there were
28 teachers, 12 of which were Merlins. The Merlin associated with King Arthur
was the fifth one. But the 12th Merlin did not find anyone he could empower to
carry on the teachings after him. So, in 1247 A.D. the lineage died out, until
Merlin, who is still the source and Divine power of VortexHealing, manifested a
visionary experience for Ric Weinman, in 1994, which reactivated his memory of
studying VortexHealing in two past lives.
When you
experience what VortexHealing is able to do, you will know why Merlin has
always been associated with magic.
