I never did believe in the power of group prayer or anything like that. Here is another case where it did not change the outcome.
It is extremely unlikely one can heal aggressive, late stage cancers with good thoughts, (group) prayer and meditation. There are cases of spontaneous remissions but they are few in # and I am pretty sure they had nothing to do with prayer/meditation.
I wouldn't say that it didn't work, but instead that it didn't bring about the desired outcome of intention of the group. I think what's at work is consciousness, not specific outcomes, and we don't always know what's best and why. There are usually reasons beyond our ability to see, know, and understand why some things need to happen. Therefore, prayers and good intentions aren't always going to bring about the outcome we desire. That's because our specific desired outcome is acutely narrowed to only one possibility... in this case the intent was desiring Romain to survive the cancer. However, if his soul had other plans and reasons for leaving the physical realm now, that then becomes a critical moment in consciousness in which it's likely that no amount of good, conscious prayers and intentions otherwise can change. Those are just my speculations.
What I do really trust and believe is that true focused conscious intention (prayer or whatever else you want to call it), when done the right way actually isn't about the desired outcome, despite the fact that that's why we pray. Instead, what it actually turns into is a shift in one's own consciousness, and that then becomes the "work" being done. When our consciousness shifts or raises to another state, we're then able to see things differently or see, know, and understand more or in a different way than we could have from another level of consciousness. Our normal every-day level of consciousness typically is so focused on the physical and our immediate needs and desires here in keeping and holding onto what we have and know, that it's very difficult to want our reality to change, let alone be able to see any good reason for change.
And I really do believe in the power of the focused intentions of a group. Again, it's purpose isn't only about the desired intention and outcome but morphs into a raising of consciousness of all involved. It's inevitable that once consciousness is raised, it opens perception based on the change in perspective of awareness. I imagine this has a direct effect not only on an individual basis but on the whole as well. If the consciousness of the whole sets out a change in outcome based on that, the individual still always has free will to do what it wants, but it may be that much harder to change something. But I always wonder, if "going against the grain" so to speak sometimes has more effect simply because once something becomes complacent, conscious focus is no longer given and therefore a new, even single conscious focus coming into play can have a window of opportunity there to really make a difference. To me, this is the sort of shift I'm talking about. We do become complacent inside ourselves on a day to day basis, and it takes a great impact in our lives to force us to make such a shift in consciousness in the first place. But is it enough to cause the change we want? We just don't really know all the factors involved. In the end, we have to just assume that Romain's soul and spirit has its own reasons for that outcome. I don't believe life and death are random accidents, but instead are what we as conscious beings are always creating and directing. Each present moment is an opportunity for consciousness.
