LOVE -- THE ENERGY OF CREATION -- PART THREE

It is the pursuit and understanding of love, the creative energy of the Cosmos, that will give you the ecstasy that you seek. You cannot have ecstasy without love.



Sexual Intercourse

You cannot obtain love from sex. You cannot obtain love even from the creation of a child. Love must come first. Any time you have to ask somebody if they want sexual intercourse you should not be doing it. Any time you have to pursue someone to obtain sexual intercourse you should not be doing it. For it is the bonding of souls on a higher level of life that leads to the true act of sexual creation. It should take place without need of thought. Where thought intrudes with its desire for pleasure, when sexual satisfaction becomes the primary goal, then love is not present. It is the ego that seeks pleasure, not the soul, and when one creates with this motivation one is burdening oneself down for lives to come.

Overcoming Limitation

The young people of today face a difficult task. They have to ask themselves if there can be a form of human relationship different to that which the World demonstrates today?? Can one live without sex in the sense that your World uses the word?? Can one live without the constant need for obtaining sexual pleasure?? Have you ever asked yourself those questions?? Have you ever considered the possibility that the act of love does not require the act of sexual completion and, indeed, that when you create through perfect love in imitation of your Creator that no sexual act is necessary at all?? That is how your Creator creates -- through the perfect breath.

You are condemned to create through sexual organs. You are limited in your point of expression by that fact, but recognise that it is only a limitation. You must seek the path beyond it. For most people that moment is many lives and many cycles down the path of evolution, but it is a limitation that you will eventually overcome.

Energy of Creation

So I ask the young people of today to consider these questions. It is possible, if one is in perfect harmony and balance, to live without the sexual act. Recognise that the energy which is used in that act is a creative energy and can be redirected to create in other ways. Within marriage, as I have said, the sexual act was intended solely for the creation of destined children, that is children who chose to come through their parents before they even incarnated into physical matter. So it is therefore a matter of cosmic creation.

When a child is destined there is no need to perform the sexual act every day for a month to ensure conception. The energy of love between the parents will decide the correct time and the correct place without them even being aware of it. For creation, although Humanity does not realise it, is not solely within the province of human will.

Constructive or Destructive?

The energy of creation, then, is yours to use, to use positively or to waste, to use for good or for evil, for construction or for destruction. Even on the physical level you can see the nature of its power. You can witness the jealousies, the hatreds, the divisions, the destruction it can produce. Likewise you can see the constructive side: children born out of perfect harmony and love, carrying forward the evolutionary cycle of the Human Race. Every time that you perform the sexual act consider what forms you are creating. Are you creating selfishly or selflessly, are you creating for your own pleasure or are you creating for the evolution of the Cosmos?? Are you creating an energy which when you die and return to the higher planes of life you will be happy to acknowledge as your child, and take responsibility for, as is your birthright?? Or will you, perhaps, when you meet that energy after your death fail to recognise that is is your creation, and therefore your responsibility, and wish to disown it?? That choice is created every time you perform the sexual act, so consider carefully.

Understand Your Responsibility

Your World today desperately needs people who will use the act of creation with responsibility, who will use that energy wisely, not only to ensure harmony in their own evolutionary pattern but to bring balance to the World as a whole. They must exemplify the correct use of the sexual energy so that the children of the Aquarian Age may be helped into an understanding of the true relationship of male and female, of positive and negative, and of the correct use of the act of creation.

It is a great responsibility that has been placed upon the shoulders of a few evolved souls for if they fail then that misuse of the sexual act will destroy not only them but the World in which they live. We who look from the higher planes of life can see this so clearly. Positive creation means a positive World, a positive Cosmos. Negative creation means a negative World, a cataclysmic destruction. That is the importance of the energy of creation.

LOVE -- THE ENERGY OF CREATION -- PART TWO

One cannot deny responsibility for what one has created, and if what you have created, in your earthly sense, goes astray in the World and performs evil then you are responsible for that evil too.


Responsibility and Burdens

Every time you perform the sexual act you are creating responsibilities and burdens for yourself. On the physical plane of life you know only too well that when you create a baby you are also creating a lifetime´s responsibility. For twenty years you are tied to that being until it has established its point of consciousness on the Earth. From the moment of birth until it can stand on its spiritual feet at the age of twenty-one you are responsible for nurturing that being. Deny that responsibility and you create karma for yourself for lives to come. Deny that responsibility on the higher or lower levels of life and you do just the same. You burden yourself down for many lives to come.

Let me give you an example. A thought-form which you create in a moment of lust is picked up by one of your less-evolved brothers. He, in his turn, imitates that thought-form and creates in lust himself from which comes a child. You are equally responsible for that child. You are therefore tied to that spirit for many lives, until such time as the responsibility for its point of evolution has been balanced according to the Law of Karma. That is the true nature of the responsibility for the creative energy.

Learning Control

Now I say this not to make you afraid of the energy of creation but so that you may understand it more fully, for you have come on the Earth to learn to be a Master of creation. You first have to learn to control your physical body, your thoughts and emotions, to master these and to place yourself on the path of initiation. Then you have to learn to master the energy of creation. You can create on many levels and in many ways as I have said. If you are a Master, then like Jesus, you can create in physical form at your will. You can multiply the loaves and fishes. You can resurrect or recreate life. You can control all physical matter. This is as nothing. All of you are walking the path to that knowledge. That is the nature of the power which you seek and which one day you have to master.

A Distorted Understanding

At this moment in time all of you are seeking to master a low level of creative energy. You are seeking to understand physical creativity. That understanding is distorted by the World in which you live, for the World in which you live is governed by sexual energy, by the force of human sexuality. Young people today growing to physical maturity have little idea of the correct use of sexual energy. They do not understand its nature and what it seeks to do.

Let me state clearly now that the sexual act was intended solely for the procreation of the species. That is its sole purpose and function and if you are at all honest with yourselves you will know that to be true. Today, however, the sexual act has become synonymous with the pursuit of pleasure, but a pleasure which can never be satiated.

Consider the young men and women today as they go around having sexual relationships with different people, constantly seeking a sexual fulfilment which ever evades them. They change their partner, they change their sexual habits, they change their social environment, constantly seeking the illusion of the perfect sexual relationship. But even if they were to find this great pleasure which they so desperately seek, does it signify the ending of the search for them, the finding of their destined partner?? No!! That is never the case, for such people are constantly searching, looking outwards, looking even beyond the bonds of marriage, for a sexual pleasure that does not exist except in their own thoughts.

Side-tracked By Illusion

Today sex has changed the tradional path of human evolution. The search for sexual pleasure, the ecstasy of the perfect orgasm, has replaced spiritual ecstasy. Whereas the wise beings of old would seek spiritual ecstasy, people today seek sexual ecstasy. You might not think that they are the same, but truly they are. Today millions of souls are being seduced from the path of spiritual evolution. They are being side-tracked from their destiny paths for many years in a fruitless search for an illusion, whereas if they had but followed the path of love, the creative energy of the Cosmos, they would have so easily obtained what they really sought.

LOVE -- THE ENERGY OF CREATION -- PART ONE

Humanity has divorced love from the sexual act and it is this misconception which more than anything else symbolises the problems now facing Humanity.


The Master explains :



The Misuse of Sex

If I was to ask most people on the Earth today how they would define the energy of Creation they would, perhaps, smile knowlingly at me and say that it was the energy of the sexual act. But we of the Spiritual Hierarchy, who dwell on the higher planes of life looking down on the Earth, would give a very different answer, for we would say that the energy of creation was LOVE.

I would go even further and would say, because I can see the planes both above and below the physical plane or life, that it is the misuse of the sexual act which hastens humanity towards a cataclysmic upheaval. There is no more pressing problem that faces Humanity at this time than the understanding of the sexual act and what lies behind it on the higher levels of life. For if Humanity does not control the World population, and limit the influx of new souls, the presence of all those young energies on the crowded plane of Earth will lead to an imbalance that will destroy this planet.

The Basic Principle

The energy of creation is a pure energy which emanates from our Creator and, because of this, the principle of creation is the the same no matter whether one talks of the birth of a planet or the birth of a baby. It is only the degree of manifestation that varies according to the vibratory rate of the being that is creating. It is that vibratory rate, that point of consciousness, which decides the nature and the form of conception and birth. The basic principle remains the same no matter whether one is an interplanetary or human being. One creates in the image of one´s God, exercising the gift of creation given to one by one´s God. One creates in ITS image using the energy of ITS love.

As you look at the visable Universe through your telesopes and see the many galaxies that have been created, as you look up at the night sky and see the stars in their appointed place, as you observe the order of even your own planetary system, so you can see there the perfection of divine creation. In just the same way Humanity should be able to look at the perfection of its own creations. That is the awesome nature of the responsibility that has been placed in your hands by your Creator.

Human Distortion

If you look in a dictionary at the meaning of the word "sex" you will see that it is defined quite simply as male and female or positive and negative. Furthermore, if you look at the meaning of the word "sexual" you will see that it simply means pertaining to male or to female. But in the World in which you live today do not those words have so much more connotation?? Does not a large part of your daily living revolve around those two words?? Do they not reflect the most energy absorbing aspect of your physical being??

This is because the nature of life on the Earth today has been distorted beyond all recognition. The result of this is that the souls of the Aquarian Age incarnating into physical life at this time have to overcome a great obstacle. They have to rediscover the true nature of the creative energy before they themselves create. They have to reject the sexual conditioning of the World in which they find themselves and recognise that the nature of sexuality has become so distorted that they are not seeing a true picture.

Creating on Many Levels

The sexual act is an act of creation and, as is the case with any creative act, when it is performed you create on many levels of life. You create on the physical level in the way of which you are well aware, but you also create on levels above and below the physical. The motivation of your body, mind and spirit at the moment of that act of creation will decide the nature of what you create.

As gods in the making you were created in the image of your God. You were given the divine gift of free choice and the priceless right of self-creation or self-reproduction. You must therefore be responsible, just as your Creator is, for everything that you have created.

Every single time you perform the sexual act, even if you are not creating babies on the physical level, you are creating spirit babies and spirit thought-forms on either the higher or lower levels of life. You create on many different planes of life. Just as you should take respnsibility for what you have created on the physical plane, as a mother and father take care of their baby, so you must take responsibility for what you have created on the other planes of life.

YOUR DESTINED PARTNER -- PART THREE

The time of your entry into marriage and commitment is known to your Creator, as is the destiny and point of consciousness of both you and your intended partner.


Plan of Life

Marriage is an important rite of passage. It is just as important as birth and death. So there is no such thing as error in the plan of your life -- your destiny. There is a Divine Force that knows all things, that is aware of every step that you take, of every hair on your head. There is no need for fear, no need for doubt. If you do have doubts then meditate on them, listen to the innermost murmurings of your heart. Talk to your Creator and seek Its peace, seek Its counsel, and what you desire to know will be released to you. Have faith, trust in the Divine Force that has guided you in your life so far and will guide you in the future. Your marriage partner awaits you just as eagerly as you await your partner.

Spiritual Aspects and Intuition

Do not forget that the male aspect of spirit is not always in a male body and the female aspect of spirit is not always in a female body. The male aspect will always pursue the female aspect and it is the female aspect that makes the choice, using her divine power, her inutitive channel. Nevertheless, sometimes the female aspect of spirit, with its powers of selection, can be in a male body. So outwardly it is not always the male that seeks the female and the all knowing female that accepts or rejects. It can work the other way around especially when a very strong female aspect of spirit is in a male body.

Breakdowns in Marriage

The reasons for breakdowns in marriage are infinite and depend, of course, on the nature of the relationships. In the World in which you live today so many people have relationships before they actually get married that truly it can be said that they have been married several times and I mean this not in the true sense of the word but in the way that they live together and have a sexual relationship! If someone enters into such a relationship with selfish motivation, seeking only support from their partner, always taking rather than giving, then obviously the relationship is meaningful for them only so long as their partner gives, as they are getting what they want from the relationship.

However, when they have taken as much as they want, or they find someone else who is prepared to give more, they end the relationship and move on. This can be true on many levels of life. I would say that if you enter into such a relationship, never intending marriage, then your motivation is usually wrong and that you have a selfish, not a selfless, motivation. You are entering the relationship not to consummate a holy act of creation, but to satisfy the needs of your lower self. This inevitably leads to conflict and that is why so many people are continually changing partners.

Moment of Choice

When we talk urges and drives we are using terminology which is difficult to quantify. However my understanding of physical life is that no matter what the urge, conscious or unconscious, before you actually allow that urge to become physical reality there is a moment of choice when you can either say "Yes" or "No" to it, when you can either accept or reject it. There is a moment when you can exercise the divine gift of free choice. You have to make the choice and that choice, of course, should be based on your soul wisdom, but if, for example, you are so besotted with someone that you do not want to listen to your soul then you will not stop to meditate in your heart to see if what you are doing is correct. But that moment of choice is there and it is there more for the woman than for the man. It is the man who pursues the woman seeking her wisdom. It is then up to the woman to make the choice and to either accept or reject him.

Marrying Too Young

Many people make the mistake of marrying at too young an age, with wrong motivations. Many marriages break up simply because at the time they were entered into neither of the people concerned really knew what they were doing. But as one grows older and more mature, and perhaps sees a more spiritual purpose in marriage, there is nothing to stop you attracting your true partner to you. You have just made a little diversion from your destiny path, a diversion which has taught you many lessons. You can return to your path again with ease.

This article is from "The Fantastic Teachings of Ramala".

YOUR DESTINED PARTNER -- PART TWO

It is important that you recognise not only that there is such a thing as a destined partner but also that there is such a thing as a destined time for marriage and commitment.



Recognising Your Partner

How then are you to recognise that chosen person?? The greatest mistake that you can make is to spend hours thinking about it, for thought does not come into the process of selecting and marrying your destined partner. Thought only creates personality alternatives. It is the heart that selects. There can be no alternatives for the heart, because the heart, which is the seat of the spirit, has already made its choice. Therefore no selection process takes place within the heart, only the process of recognising what has already been ordained. Therefore to think, to dream, to create images of the person you will marry, of the nature of the marriage and of what it will create, is a waste of time and energy and will only lead to confusion in the mind.

Old souls choose their partners with their hearts. You use the expression of falling in love. That form of love is the love of the personality emotions, the love of thought-forms, the romantic love of the story books. No! True love is the love of the heart. It is the love of your Creator permeating through you. It is the recognition of the two becoming the one and of the strength that that energy produces, a strength that cannot be ignored.

This recognition is as striking as the moment of birth and the moment of death. If you are seeking your marriage partner and have not felt this love then either you have not yet met the one you are to marry or, if you have, the moment for marriage has not yet arrived.

Gift of Free-choice

Many people meet their destined partners and will then wait for many years before they marry. The reasons for this are manifold but are usually either karmic or because of the differing rates at which the individuals concerned have evolved in their present lives. You all possess the divine gift of free-choice and can vary the rate at which you open and develop your centres of power and energy (chakras), the rate at which you bring forth your soul consciousness.

Because of this free-choice many souls will deviate from their destiny paths and will take time to return to them, thus delaying the onward progression of their souls. Therefore until both partners are ready for marriage on a spiritual level there is no point in them marrying. Indeed, if either of them is not yet ready for marriage, then the destined time of marriage will be postponed until the individuals concerned are ready for that act of union. Such a decision is of course taken on the higher levels of life. So you must not only have met your destined partner, but both of you must be ready for that act of union, for the commitment to marriage on a spiritual level.

Act of Service

Old souls do not marry for romance. They marry to be of service to Humanity and to the Cosmos. They marry to serve the principle of marriage which is one of service, of service not to themselves but to Humanity and to the World as a whole. They come together at the appointed time to unite their energies as a act of service to their Creator. Therefore, individually, they should prepare for this event. They should develop their strength of character, they should eliminate their personality weaknesses and prepare themselves for their spiritual union.

Marriage is not a ceremony which they should walk into with their eyes closed, fatalistically, just because they feel they should marry. Rather it is like a knight keeping his vigil before he earns his spurs. It requires fasting, prayer, meditation and one-pointedness to prepare for that blessed union. Until both the partners are ready there is no point in marrying, for the entrance into marriage is just as important as is the leaving of it.

Nature of Marriage

The nature of the energy that is grounded as you enter into marriage and make your vows, as you establish your life together, will decide the nature of the marriage. It will create the pattern of the married life to come. If you enter with wrong motivation, with wrong thought-forms, if you enter in a world of illusion, then that will be the path which the marriage will take. It is therefore important that you enter into marriage with clarity.

Look with the eyes of the soul, not with the eyes of infatuation, of romance, of the personality thought-forms. Look with the eyes of the soul for it is the one soul recognising the other that ignites the fire of the destined union. There is no choice for an old soul, just a moment of awakening within the heart, a recognition that the moment for marriage has come. If there is any doubt then that moment has not come. For an old soul there is never any doubt, only the certain knowing that you are embarking upon the destiny which you have chosen.

Ready for Marriage

If you feel ready for marriage but cannot find your partner, it can be the case that the time has come when you were destined to marry but your partner is not yet ready for marriage. You therefore have to exercise patience and wait for them to evolve a little further along their path so that they may reach the point of consciousness when they can enter correctly into marriage and can make their presence known to you. You would not wish it otherwise. Your partner must be ready for that union. To marry someone who is not your equal in soul evolution, someone who has not yet fully awakened their spritual consciousness and so cannot share with you on all levels, would be to destroy the marriage.

YOUR DESTINED PARTNER -- PART ONE

The three most significant rites of passage in life which you will celebrate as human beings are birth, death and marriage.


Choosing With Deliberation

Over birth and death it would appear that you exercise little choice, although the truth of the matter is that on the higher levels of life, before you incarnate, you choose very deliberately and with great consciousness both your moment of birth and your moment of death. Nevertheless, because at birth and death you are transferring your spiritual consciousness from one plane of life to another, the fact that you have made a choice is not always readily apparent.

With the act of marriage, because you are living on the physical plane of life in your bodies of matter and because the density of the World´s vibrations dulls your senses, that inspiration which is present on the higher levels of life appears to be denied to you. Many of you therefore experience great uncertainty as you seek out the partner that you have chosen to marry in this life.

Soul Consciousness

It is important that you realise that evolved souls choose their marriage partners with as much care as they choose their moment of birth and their moment of death. There will always be a destined partner to complete a destined marriage, a partnership agreed on from the higher levels of life by the souls involved before they even came down into the physical matter of Earth. As in all things it is the point of soul consciousness that decides both the level of the marriage and the nature of its destiny.

For young souls it does not matter so much if a destined marriage does not come to pass because they will learn lesson no matter whom they marry. Moreover, the lower the point of consciousness the more the souls that are available from which to select a partner for marriage, but as you progress up the evolutionary ladder so the choice becomes more restricted. If you do not choose your destined partner and marry someone else then your destiny is restricted, and in the case of an evolved soul is severly restricted. It is therefore important that you both find and marry your destined partner.

A Sacred Sacrament

In the World in which you live today when perhaps twenty five percent of all marriages end in divorce and when another twenty five percent are marriages only in name, with husbands and wives simply living together in a joyless union, it is all the more remarkable that there are some people who still regard marriage as a lifetime´s commitment. Such people insist on finding their right partner even though they know a legal release can easily be obtained from a marriage if they think they have made a mistake.

It is indeed a rare soul, a soul of aged evolution, that regards marriage as a spiritual act and invokes the blessing of its Creator on that union, that dedicates the creativity of the union to its God. Marriage is a sacred sacrament and its significance is never lost on an evolved soul. That is why old souls always seek to find their destined partner in marriage. They recognise both the sanctity of the union and the purpose for which they agreed to marry on Earth.

Seeking Your True Partner

The temptation is always present for an evolved soul to marry a less evolved soul. The magnetic quality of an evolved soul will often attract a less evolved soul to it like a moth to the flame. An evolved soul sometimes succumbs to this temptation because of the apparent personality attractions and so has to face the lesson of being married to a less evolved soul. This often proves to be a painful lesson for not only does such a marriage limit its destiny path but it also places severe restrictions on the creations of its marriage. Moreover, as the older soul grows in spiritual maturity and reaches the physical age when it wants to become a teacher, it finds that it is continually being restricted by its less evolved partner.

The result of this is that unless karma is to be created the older soul must restrict its evolutionary pace to that of its partner. An old soul will make this mistake only once or twice in its evolutionary cycle and will then learn the lesson and will never need to repeat it. It is important, unless your destiny requires it, not to marry a less evolved soul. You should always seek out your true partner in marriage, the partner you have chosen for this incarnation. You should seek your true partner not just to fulfil your destiny, not just fo fulfil the spiritual nature of your being but, above all, because you know that that is the commitment which you made before you came down into physical life.

THE TRUE NATURE OF ILLNESS -- PART 4

Today the medical profession nearly always uses drugs to restore people to health. They are often only treating the effects of an illness without establishing the cause. The emphasis is always on getting rid of the illness without discovering the why´s and wherefore´s.


Many Reasons

The ultimate test of an illness is that you cure it. Whether you cure it in this life or another life, on the physical level or on another level, is for you to choose. Obviously, as you are only too well aware, there are some illnesses that cannot be cured and from which people die, but one should see that in the context that people die for many reasons not just because of illness or old age but because they have decided to withdraw from physical life, perhaps because they have failed the major test they came to face.

People who are apparently in good health can suddenly die after a very short illness. The nature of such an illness is that the soul may decide to withdraw from physical life if certain destined patterns have not been met, if there is a need for that soul to return to the other side of life so as to take stock and to begin again.

About Illnesses in Children

Let us remember that within a child´s body there can be a very evolved soul and that the age of the physical body does not reflect the age, the point of evolution, of the spirit within it. The spirit that is present within the body of a young child may be very wise and very evolved, but for many reasons that spirit will not be able to express itself, if only because the vehicle of the child has not yet evolved to the point when it can express itself as a mature human being.

Illnesses that manifest in children are very often, but not always, caused by illnesses that are present in their parents. Remember that the elements, the genes, which go into the construction of a child´s physical body are taken from both the mother and the father. It should be recognised that even though the child´s body is created within the mother´s womb that the vibrations and characteristics of the father are present and help to form that child during the nine months of its growth. Therefore weaknesses in either one of the parents can and will repeat themselves in the physical body of the child resulting in illness, perhaps even an illness which the child´s spirit does not desire. That is why some young children choose to die, because the body that has been created is not suitable for the destiny they want to follow.

Until the age of twelve, when the soul is fully in the body, a child can, and often does, terminate its physical life because the characteristics in life which it sought for its destiny have not been fulfilled. There is, therefore, no such thing as suicide under the age of twelve in a child. Obviously the child does not decide to withdraw on the physical level because it is so young and immature. It is the spirit that makes the decision because the body is ill and is not suitable for the life it wants to lead.

A Learning Process

Illness, of course, even in a young child can manifest through the spirit. Illness can be part of a karmic pattern and let us remember that such a karmic pattern is not just of the child but can be of the parents. The test, or illness, which a child faces can often be not for itself but for the parents who have created it. Remember that parents learn as much from the child as the child learns from its parents. The learning process is two ways and a child that dies may have offered to make that sacrifice in order to help the parents, its nurses and doctors, or even society as a whole, that need to be aware of certain facts of life which the people concerned have to learn.

Always an Evolutionary Experience

Illness, therefore, is always an evolutionary process. It always produces growth and understanding on one level or another. Children may appear more deserving of our sympathy because they are young and have not yet fulfilled the potential of their being. That perhaps makes the lesson more poignant, but the principle for a child is just the same as for an adult. You only look at a child with more love than you would do an adult because the personality of the child has not yet sullied its being. You can see the purity of the Godhead more clearly in a child and you therefore feel more compassion for it.

Thoughts And Illness

Remember that human thought is capable of creating forms of power and energy which in turn can create dis-ease. Your thoughts, ultimately, control your total environment. Your thoughts can create illness and disease. Therefore you can create a form of what you would call "flu", but that "flu" is really the result of Humanity´s thoughts and emotions. Humanity therefore creates its own epidemics. I would also say to you that no matter how many people around you are catching a certain disease if you are in perfect harmony and balance you will not catch it. In just the same way a healthy person can walk among lepers and not catch leprosy, but if a person is run down and depleted of energy and not in perfect health then they will catch that disease.

So, the way forward is through inner perfection and from that inner perfection will come lasting outer perfection. Today you have many examples of people who although they appear to have healthy outer bodies are in fact in total disharmony within. The result is that without that inner harmony the other perfection soon crumbles.

Use of Vaccines

It is self evident that the use of vaccines has effectively prevented the spread and development of many contagious diseases. Such developments are the result of Humanity´s physical response to a physical challenge. Any disease, any challenge, any test which Humanity has to face will eventually be surmounted, but as one test is faced and conquered so another one will present itself. It is, to use a medical analogy, the same disease appearing in a different form. Look at what is happening today. By taking a course of antibiotics you may suppress a particular illness but in spite of, or shall we say because of, that treatment the weakness, the illness is still present and will manifest in some other way, in some other form, at a later stage.

A Prediction

It has been said that a disease originating in the Animal Kingdom would be passed on to Humanity and would cause much suffering and death. This disease has been created by Humanity´s misuse of the Animal Kingdom. The disease which you call AIDS is but a warning to Humanity to show it what lies ahead and to demonstrate that a disease can arise at very short notice over which Humanity has no control whatsoever. It should serve as a warning to Humanity that only right behaviour towards the physical body can prevent one from being afflicted by such an illness or disease.

Teaching Children

Once an individual has grown to an understanding of the true nature of his or her body and the true nature of illness then that being can, and should, live in perfect harmony. The trouble with your society today is that children are not taught about their bodies or right relationships with them and are not made aware of their responsibilities in this matter. Indeed, if anything, they are taught the opposite; namely, that they should rely on drugs and surgery to maintain good health. They are not taught of the importance and significance of correct eating, correct exercise, correct breathing or correct living and so inevitably they will suffer from illness and disease. They therefore restrict the potential of their physical bodies until they have grown into a true understanding of life. But once that understanding has been reached it is possible to achieve perfect harmony and to be immune to all disease. Indeed that is the purpose and the true nature of life.
