CHAPTER THREE

  

Healing

  Who are the healing spirits?

 The healing spirits are those who learned to love and to serve during their mortal existence. The priest who was dedicated unto his task of freeing the sin-laden soul from its burden of guilt becomes a healer in the spirit life. The doctor who lived to heal the sick body by his skill and understanding of medicines becomes a healer in the spirit life. The surgeon who, out of his compassion, sought to free the diseased body of pain, increases his skill and his understanding in the spirit life and learns how to concentrate the great energy forces, which he draws from the Master Creator, so that his knife now becomes a living ray of light that can eradicate the diseased portion from the soul of those in the earthly life.

 But the priest, the doctor and the surgeon must find a channel through which such healership may be expressed, and so they look for the nurse, for the doctor, for the dedicated healers in the earth life, that they may blend their skill with servers such as yourselves. The old physicians of ancient China, who understood the great flow of the etheric forces throughout the etheric body, also come to blend their influence and their wisdom with yours, that sometimes they may direct the hands and the minds of the earthly healers, whereby the great energy forces of the soul may be redirected to the sick, restoring them to harmony and to health. The old Indian medicine-­men (who worshipped the great Master Spirit and who learned how to marshal the energy forces of the mountain, the seas and the skies) come back that they may continue their work of healing and compassion, which once they began in the past years of their earthly existence.

 When a person apparently becomes mentally deranged after an operation and appears to have experiences, are these true memories of other lives, or is it just a mechanical jumble in the brain?

 It is impossible to say in exactitude, for it may be that, through the weakening of the physical body and the etheric body, such a one may have telepathically absorbed ideas and thoughts that are in the immediate atmosphere,  or may even - as you say - get remembrances of some previous life experience intruding into the consciousness; or in very rare cases, may have become subject to the intrusion of a soul who at that time has not gained its rightful place in the regions of the spirit.

 It would seem then to be a very dangerous procedure to have anaesthetics?

 So it would seem to us, for in your mortal world these many happenings take place, but as we look through into the years that are still to come in your mortal world, it would seem that mankind will learn gentler ways of restoring harmony unto those who are sick and needy, through the correct use of light, sometimes breaking the light into corrective colours, sometimes by harnessing sound in such a way that it may vibrate upon the cell structures of the bodies and bring them back into harmony. There are many ways of healing that are still to be discovered, and so as you move forward through time it may be such violent intrusions into the body will not be needed.

 As the years progress in your earthly world, and your peoples become more aware of the power of colour and the power of light, we foresee that there will be in some places small buildings in which the windows are of varying colours; as the light falls through those windows they may be adjusted, so that the right colours are brought to play upon the being of a weary sufferer, or one who needs to be re-harmonised - similar to the ways we use in the places of the spirit. Is it not true that light is now being used instead of cutting knives by those working to alleviate suffering?

 Can Spirit heal the wounds of the soul?

 There are occasions in which spirit can and does heal the wounds of the soul. In distant places where there has been the terror of warfare, and where man deprives others of a sufficiency of food, and where the indifference of governments brings about suffering unto the infant population, there go many spirits who try to succour the little ones and to bring them through into strength and into peace.

 When you meet the experience of death and someone whom you love very dearly is freed from the body and taken into the regions of the spirit life, you will know loneliness and will feel the sting of grief, but we do not always regard this as a wound of the soul, but rather as the enlargement of your understanding, for as you take your way through the many experiences of the mortal life you must know sorrow as well as joy, you must experience loss and gain, and you must grow as well as being small. Therefore, you need to understand how to live wisely and well. But if your sorrow is such that you cannot overcome your grief and your soul loses energy because of your grieving, then indeed this could be likened unto a wound of the soul. If then you ask and pray for healing and restoration, most certainly those of the spirit will come near to weave into your soul body the tenuous vibrations of their love, to implant into your soul the beautiful colours of their healing.

 When, as the result of long-continued illness, where the body and the soul have been subjected to drug medicines that have slowed down the consciousness and brought false impressions unto the brain, then that soul is taken into the places of rest, and is often laid underneath the turquoise-blue healing rays, to soothe and to quieten the torment of the memory of pain and of suffering.

Truly, the means by which the healing of the soul is undertaken are  myriad  -  sometimes  by  blossoms,  sometimes  by  the concentrations of colour, sometimes by the creation of music, and sometimes even simply by joyful laughter. In all these things we try to bring healing unto the soul who has suffered or who has been wounded.

 So it is with you in your mortal life, for you too have the power to heal, to harmonise one with the other, and when you laugh together in the glee of happy companionship you create healing which vibrates soul unto soul. The laughter-makers of your earth are healers who serve a very special purpose in the binding up of the wounded souls.

 Why is it that some people are nor receptive to healing?

 Because one may be ready to have the spiritual harmony restored, but another may have a different pattern of earthly experience, or lesson, to learn.

 When healing is given and a patient finds relief, only to have the pain return, and this process is repeated, does it indicate that the patient will not be cured?

 Not at all. It means that certain adjustments are needed in the consciousness of the individual - that the individual is expecting the healer to cure totally, whereas there is a need for the patient also to make a clearance of feelings and thoughts in the ethereal bodies, which can often cause the physical body to be held in a position that gives pressure on certain nerves or joints. Sometimes healing is only needed for the physical body, but the true healer learns to see, and to know, how to balance the energies in the various bodies, so that health and harmony may be restored in the individual. It is in this rebalancing, or reharmonising, of the bodies that true spiritual healing is undertaken,

 When I speak of true spiritual healing, I mean the spirit healing that WE undertake from the Regions of Light. In answer to requests for healing, firstly we have to examine and assess the condition of the individual for whom the healing is asked. We have to see whether there has been a deliberate neglect by the individual to nourish the body; or if they have enclothed themselves in a darksome cloak, meaning that for shame they desire to retain their illness. When there is such a garment drawn around the individual, the natural flowing energies are not able to reach the inner soul body, and so they become deficient in vital energies, whereby the actual living animal-body becomes a prey to sickness. To bring about a healing in such a soul means that you, the healer, needs to have discernment of the inner sadness in the soul and help them to open the protective cloak and LET IT GO and cease to hold it around themselves in shame, or for self-punishment. This protective cloak is one of the exceedingly difficult conditions which we of the spirit have to try and break through in our healing to you, and through you, to reach those who are still in the mortal body.

 There is also another condition that we find difficult to penetrate -that is, when a dark grey cloak of self-pity, like a shell, becomes folded around the individual. When you give yourselves to this task of healing, teach the individuals to understand the need for gratitude in the earthly world, for as gratitude begins to grow within them then indeed they may become receptive to great golden radiations of joy. As they respond to joy, restoration and healing becomes possible within the ethereal bodies, and may reach the physical body.

 Can you explain the difference between maintaining detachment and yet feeling compassion?

 To practise detachment is to refrain from being too deeply involved in the suffering of the sufferer - to alleviate the suffering but not necessarily to enter into the pit in which the suffering is contained. Compassion is the higher level of the emotion of which you are thinking. No true healer can heal unless there is an element of compassion within their soul. If they are healing without compassion then they are simply expressing motions that they have learned, which may sometimes ease tension but will not truly heal because true healing is of the spirit and it is harnessed through compassion.

 Could you tell us the cause of epilepsy and how healers can help?

 This illness of which you speak is one that has long been in your earthly world. It is caused by a lack of correct energy-flow through the etheric body, whereby the subtle energies become curved, as it were, instead of flowing freely. Then it is as if these are formed into a ball which vibrates into the nerve centres of the brain and creates an excess excitement there, which in turn affects the movements of the mortal and physical body. What is required is that which has been known through all the years of healing ministry, which is simply to stroke with the healer's hand upward through the centre at the base of the brain to keep the energy-flow moving evenly.

 Frequently, the cause of such an illness may be in a memory of death in a previous life existence, when the base of the brain was injured, such as when the head was injured in battle or when the head was severed from the neck in the more ancient procedures of execution. So there may thus be needed an understanding as to the deep inward cause, which is in the memory of the soul body, as well as the correction of the energy-flow by the healer.

 How can we heal psychic illnesses?

 The greatest disease force in your earthly world is fear, for when there is fear in the soul then there is a closing-in of the aura unto the self and as it closes in, so is it no longer able to absorb the energies of light, the energies of peace and the energies of healing. Where there is fear, there is a lack of knowledge, a lack of faith, and a lack of contact with the source Divine which you call God, or Spirit (in whatever terminology you may use) . . . When such a one is closed off from the great energy forces of Divine life then there comes about illness of the mind, illness of the soul, which illnesses may be spoken of in your earthly world by many names, by many terms, but in its basic source the illness has its roots in fear. Therefore, to aid such ones there needs to be a renewal of contact with the great Divine Love which is filling the universe with energy, healing and peace. So, if you desire to heal those who are sick in their psychic self, you must learn to extend to them love, not just the love that is contained in the speaking of the word, but the love that is contained in the breathing out from the heart's centre your own energy of love; sometimes, by the conscious direction of the colours of love, so that the being of the one whom you desire to help may be folded in the rose-pink of spiritual love, reassured by the words that you speak when you say “I love you�?and at the same time, through your wisdom and your thought, brought to dwell a little more upon the great source of love that lies within the divine heart of the Creator Himself.

 Is it necessary to cleanse and purify oneself after healing?

 This will depend on the manner in which the healing energies are being used. There are some healers who simply hold or touch the patient and try to absorb into themselves the pain or the illness which the person may be enduring; by doing this they take into their own being some condition of illness or despair. If that occurs then there is a need for a cleansing, and a purification. But the true spiritual healing, which is now being used more widely in your earthly world, lies simply in the channelling of pure and perfect energies into the aura of the body of the one who is sick - when this occurs then such purifying of the healer is not necessary.

 Can you tell us a little more about the power of the mind acting upon the physical body?

 The action of your thoughts takes a longer time to reflect itself into the denser matter of the lower person than does the higher spiritual thought, which goes forth from the region of the brain. Therefore, when there is illness manifesting within the living structure of your body think unto yourself: “When, and in what manner have I impressed the living matter of my own physical body with destructive thought creations?�?Then you can reverse the process, beloved ones, and think constructive patterns of re-creation, and rebuild love and harmony below the region of the heart. Build joy into the heart; build into the lungs the ability to respond to the great living force of the Master Creator and to the great living force of the world surrounding you; by learning to think constructively you can reconstruct your own body out of the old patterns of illness into the new patterns of harmony, beauty, life and health. For is it not true that the law of the spirit gives unto you life abundant?

 I understand that correct breathing is important to keep our physical bodies in good health, can you give some instruction on this?

 I would give you a short specific instruction in this form:-In the early season of the day, when the air is clean and pure, breathe in slowly and deeply perhaps for seven to ten times. (Then you will be conscious of great freshness of life coming to you). At the mid-day hour, when the body is feeling some of the stress and the weariness of discord within your world, and when you have eaten the customary meal in the middle of the day, practise for a little period the long breath in and the short, sharp breath out. (By doing this you will be drawing fully and deeply upon the life force, and expelling in the short, sharp breath the impurities and the stress of your labours, and perhaps some of the impurities within the air). When your time of ordinary labour ceases - when many people sit and drink refreshing tea from tea-cups - this is the time to have a short breath in and a short breath out. (By so doing you attune yourself unto the quickened vibration that is acting throughout the whole of the magnetic form of the earth). When you reach the closing of the day, before you lay your body into its accustomed place of slumber, then learn to breathe in a short breath and breathe out a long slow breath. Is it not true that in slumber the body breathes in shortly and deeply, and it expels in the long breath that which is there? By the conscious direction and use of this breathing you may maintain in harmony the air forces which are acting through yourself, and guard yourself against the development of much disease. Indeed, I would say that this which is known as the scourge of your English country - this mucous that forms in throat and in nose, giving rise to sneezing and coughing - can be eliminated if you would learn to breathe in with the slow breath and to breathe out with the short, sharp, expelling breath of the purposeful will of your spirit.

 Would you please advise me how I might develop healing with the use of my hands?

 First of all there is a need for you to learn how to conserve your own natural energies, holding them into your body by the energising of your body through correct breathing, right thinking and right living, which brings about certain changes in the colouring of the aura which is surrounding you. If you are desiring to benefit other beings by the use of your hands, then you must send out your prayerful thoughts in a healing intention, raising into the atmosphere around you a prayer for the furtherance of the desired healing, so that you may attract, or make known your desire unto those in the spirit regions.

 Then you will draw to you those who will blend their influence with your aura so that the colours become stronger, the energies in your being become enhanced, and as you lay your hands on the person, double energy forces will flow through you - one, being the energy of your own self, and two, being the energy which those of the spirit add to your own forces, and they in turn will draw energy from higher sources so that it may be a chain of spirit influence which is at work. (You may sometimes perceive a rich blue colour which is simply a symbol to you that the colour in your aura is being strengthened by those who are guiding you).
