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.
