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.

THE TRUE NATURE OF ILLNESS -- PART THREE

Once you have accepted an illness it is then easy to communicate with your body, to recognise the true nature of the illness and to decide on the form of healing which must take place, the treatment that is best suited to your body.
Everyone is Unique
Remember that everyone is unique and that a particular form of treatment may bring about a cure in one body but not in another. When considering how to heal an illness always remember the higher bodies which play such an important part in controlling your physical body:- the mental and the spiritual bodies. it is the union of these three bodies, of these three energies that brings about the healing process. All of them must be employed.

Postponing A Test?
In the World in which you live today many drugs are available which can effectively banish an illness for the time being and so remove a test. You must choose whether or not to use them. Remember that although you can postpone a "test" that is placed before you, ultimately, you will have to face that test again at a later stage in your evolution. Remember also that a test that has been postponed or ignored, when presented again, becomes more difficult to handle. This is also true of an illness.

An illness postponed will only re-emerge at a later date in a stronger, more virulent form and will be more difficult to heal and transmute. An illness should be faced when it occurs. This, of course, needs time and energy. An illness must be looked at with consciousness. It must be recognised as a malfuntion of the physical body that requires consciousness to heal. Talk to your body, talk to the illness, understand the cause of the illness and so bring about the cure yourself. From an understanding of the cure there will come consciousness, there will come understanding of the true nature of life and of the path that you are walking in life.

Weakness in the Spirit
Every illness that you have, on any level of your being, reflects a weakness in your spirit. Illness reflects either a karmic or a planetary weakness which you have come to master and to learn from. The level on which the weakness manifests differs according to the nature of your being. For the most part you are concerned only with physical illness, but behind every physical illness there lies a deeper and higher meaning which you can discover very easily if you meditate on it, even while you are ill. You can always discover the true cause of an illness.

Communicating With Your Body
Obviously your physical body, having its own consciousness and will, can of its own volition become ill. It requires, therefore, that you heal that body in love, that you explain to the body that you as the soul-being dwelling within it cannot fulfil your destiny unless you have a healthy vehicle in which to function. The body must be made aware of the reasons why you are seeking to cure the illness and of the steps that you are taking to bring about healing. The body, respecting the higher consciousness which is you, just as you repect the higher consciousness that is your God, will respond to your demonstrations of love.

Illness Comes From Within
Illness, therefore, comes from within, no matter on what level it occurs, no matter what the nature of the person or the nature of the soul. It always comes from within, never from without. Acceptance of the illness, acceptance of the source, leads to a true understanding of the illness. There are obviously many forms and degrees of illness present on the Earth reflecting the many weaknesses of Humanity and the behaviour that has taken place. Remember that you inherit the illnesses of your forebears and that the seeds of illness that you are now sowing will be visited upon your children and upon your children´s children, in fact for generations to come.

That is why great souls often incarnate on the Earth specifically to accept and to transmute a certain illness and to cleanse the Earth of that illness for generations to come. One can perhaps see that demonstrated by the life of the Master Jesus. He incarnated to transmute a great deal of past evil and to open the way for Humanity to walk along a new path with fresh motivation and understanding. Any illness, even the common cold, must be seen as an illness to be accepted and transmuted in love and through love.

Look to the Spirit
It is easy when one does not have great spiritual consciousness to be confused, even annoyed, by an illness; to see it as an obstacle to one´s enjoyment of life, indeed as an obstacle to one´s evolutionary path in life. Nevertheless, it is a fact that until the illness is accepted and cured, until you are restored to perfect health, you will find it hard to function on any level of your being.

Remember that mental illnesses have physical counterparts and that spiritual illnesses have counterparts on both the mental and the physical levels. Look therefore to the spirit, to the centre, to the core of your being. Look with honesty and love at what you see there. Talk to your spirit, communicate with it, and from the understanding of that union will come the abolition of illness.

THE TRUE NATURE OF ILLNESS -- PART TWO

Many illnesses, if not indeed most illnesses, exist on a pre-physical level, that is on the mental and the spiritual levels and that before any illness manifests on the physical level it can be seen by those that have eyes to see on those higher levels of life.

Root Cause of Illness

It is quite possible to see an illness before it even manifests into the physical, and if one can do that then it is obviously quite possible to treat an illness on the higher levels before it even manifests on the physical level of life. In some ancient civilisations the healers of those times would do just that. They were primarily concerned with healing on the higher levels so as to prevent illness manifesting on the physical level. Today, alas, that knowledge is lost and what you have to deal with in your civilisation is physical illness on a physical level. But if you can accept that the causes of illness are not entirely of the physical and that, for the most part, they are initiated by previous experiences, if not in this life then in previous lives, it should help you to understand the root cause of illness.

Contracting Dis-ease

Let us realise, first and foremost, that all illness comes from within. All illness is caused either by the body, the mind or the spirit. You are the cause of all your illnesses. It might appear that a disease originates outside the body, but you contract a disease only because you permit it to come into your body, because your body is not in perfect harmony.

This can either be because you have not treated your body with respect and have not maintained it in a perfect state so that it is immune to all illness, or else because there is some weakness in either your mental or your spiritual bodies which requires that illness to come and test you.

Epidemics

I can feel the question in your minds already... "Why then do we have these epidemics on the Earth when so many people catch a particular disease and only a few avoid it?". The answer to that is very simple. Many groups of souls incarnate together life after life following similar evolutionary patterns. Therefore many individual souls in a group will tend to exhibit the same weaknesses and will therefore suffer from the same "dis-ease", the same illness.

But, truly, a person that is living in perfect harmony in body, mind and spirit can, and should, resist all illnesses. There is no need for you to be ill except when an illness comes to you as a testing experience, to evolve your spiritual consciousness. In all cases illness should be seen as self-generated and for the benefit of the body, the mind and the spirit, for what else is an illness but an evolutionary lesson requiring you to concentrate all your energies on the illness, on the cure and, more particularly, on your physical body which so many of you choose to ignore today.

The Human Form

Your physical body is not unfeeling matter. Those who are closely concerned with illness, the medical profession in particular, are very aware of the majesty of the human form. It is indeed divine. Most of you, however, are unaware of the complex biological functions that the body performs, for the most part, autonomously and automatically, of the way in which it adapts to the challenges of physical life and of the many creative functions which take place within it.

If you were to multiply the knowledge of the human body today one hundredfold then you would just be beginning to understand its full capabilities. Today you know so little of what the body can do, of how and why it creates. For example, although the physical process of conception is now understood, the cause and the moment of conception, the level on which that decision takes place, is still unrecognised by most people to this very day.

Body Consciousness

The body has consciousness and therefore, as such, has the ability to accept or reject a disease, to decide whether or not to learn the lesson of that dis-ease. It is then the responsibility of the spirit that dwells within that body to bring about healing and to transmute the illness. The first step towards the cure of any illness is an acceptance of that illness. You must recognise that the illness has come to you as a part of the Divine Plan, as an instrument of evolution. It is not something to be fought against and conquered, to be pushed into the background and ignored, to be regarded as an incovenience to your daily living. It is an opportunity given to you by your Creator to forward your evolutionary progress. Therefore accept that test in love and with love. Know that the test is one which, on another level, you yourself have requested.

Part Three follows....

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

THE TRUE NATURE OF ILLNESS -- PART ONE

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.

The Master Speaks

I am going to talk on the true nature of illness. As a teacher dealing with an immensely complex subject I must of necessity abbreviate, make analogies and over-simplify, but if I am to present an awareness of the true nature of illness from my side of life it is necessary that I do this.

A Trinity of Bodies

I will take as my archetype the Trinity, the Trinity of Creation, and I will suggest to you that Humanity can be divided into the trinity of body, mind and spirit. I will further suggest to you that each of those centres of creativity demands a body of expression: a physical body, of which you are aware, a mental body and a spiritual body. Each of these bodies exists on their different levels and the spiritual body, being a very fine body, obviously exists on a higher level than the physical body.

Each of those bodies vibrates at a certain note, at a certain frequency, and so expresses the degree of its soul consciousness. Everything that manifests in the spiritual body, the highest body, must inevitably manifest in the lower bodies as well and therefore a spiritual illness, a soul illness, will also manifest in the mental and the physical bodies. It is quite possible, of course, to have an illness on the physical level which is not the direct result of an illness in the spiritual or mental bodies, but I will come to this in a minute.

The Real Essence

I wonder if you recognise that, as far as you are concerned on the physical plane of Earth, you are not your bodies. The real essence of you is your spirit which only temporarily inhabits the physical plane of Earth. Your body belongs not to you but to the Goddess of this Earth who created it in her womb. Recognise that your physical body has consciousness and feeling, has its own individual expression and intelligence with which you can communicate. You can talk to it just as I talk to you now. The concept that you, as beings of spirit, are not your bodies, is not perhaps new to you, but have you ever thought that it is possible to hold a conversation with your body, to ask it questions to make requests of it, to seek its guidance especially where the healing of illness is concerned.

A Microcosm

When you die and your spirit returns to the higher planes of life so your physical body dies too and returns to the womb of the Earth, to the Goddess. Recognise that, just like you, your body has walked a path of evolution gaining consciousness. It has lived a life of meaning and purpose learning lessons just as your spirit has done. Remember that the Solar System in which you live is a body similar to your physical body and that the organs of that body, the planets, function just like the organs of your physical body.

You are a microcosm within a macrocosm, you are bodies within bodies, consciousnesses within consciousnesses, evolving and learning. Know that your physical body, therefore, given to you in a sacred trust by the Goddess, is an evolving, conscious being, worthy of your respect, your admiration and, above all, your love, for indeed it is love that makes the physical body pulsate and obey the commands of spirit.

The Planet Saturn

Let us now consider the nature of illness. Illness, dis-ease, disharmony, can be likened to the "Devil", and when I speak of the Devil I talk now not of the Satanic being created by various religions to make their understanding of God more appealing and relevant, but of the real Saturnian influence, the testing influence of the planet Saturn. The Devil, Satan, is nothing more than the testing aspect of Saturn. You are constantly being tested on every level of your being. The saturnian aspect tests to evolve. It tests to improve. It tests to raise consciousness on every level of your being. It tests even the essence of spirit itself.

Life after life after life your spirit returns to dwell in yet another physical body and the soul, which is the memory of spirit, brings with it the consciousness of past lives. It also brings with it the weaknesses of past lives, the lessons that have to be learned, the karma that has to be transmuted. The way that you have treated your physical bodies in the past is reflected in your present physical body. After conception, the spirit, using its soul memory, creates a body of its own choosing within the womb of the mother. That body embodies the soul pattern, the soul memories, of past lives. Therefore as you grow to adulthood, to become a mature man or woman, so past weaknesses of the soul will manifest in your body and will present themselves to be faced and mastered once again.

THE HEALING TOUCH -- PART THREE

Humanity must realise that illness is an evolutionary lesson. It is not something to be scorned, to be pushed under the carpet and ignored. There is always purpose in illness.

Acts of Evolution

There is always purpose in disease. They are essential parts of Humanity´s evolutionary pattern. They are acts of evolution. It is essential that both the healer and the person to be healed recognise this fact. Inevitably education must come before healing. The role of the healer is not just to channel energy but is to hold a mirror. It is to stand before the person and to enable them to see why they are ill. The person who is ill must then take action, after consultation with the healer, to ensure that the lesson of that illness, that dis-ease within the body, has been understood.

Choosing Whom to Heal

In the World in which you live today, where so many are sick, inevitably the healer will have to choose who to heal. You cannot heal everyone. It is not desirable, or even physically possible, for you as healers to continually channel the healing energy that flows through you. You cannot always be healing. You must keep your physical body in balance. You must respect the nature of your being. Therefore you must choose those who you are to heal. You must select those who will benefit from your healing touch. This inevitably comes down to a feeling within you, to the intuitive force of your being listening and responding to the people who come to you.

Intuitively you will know those who you can help and heal. Recognise that there are different healers for different illnesses. Only the great Masters such as the Master Jesus can heal universally. Only they have the cosmic healing touch, the power to raise from the dead. Such power belongs only to those who understand the purpose of creation, and above all, who recognise the workings of the Law of Karma.

Potential to be Healers

Many people in your World today are beginning to feel that they have the potential to be healers. Many are discovering that they are succeeding where the medical profession is failing. There is no longer a clear division between, shall we say, the doctor and the faith healer. People are beginning to recognise that anyone can heal once they have an understanding of the purpose of life and the true nature of disease.

Indeed, the role of the healer will once more return to the "priest", to the divinely motivated and spiritually grounded person, as was the case in the days of old. Jesus was both a priest and a healer and that is the ideal to which you should all aim. A true healer shoulders great responsibility, for to heal without reason or purpose is to question the nature of dis-ease and the reason for karma.

Detachment

It is distressing to see people suffering but the healer must not allow himself or herself to be dragged down by that suffering. The essential quality of any healer, therefore, is detachment. If you are not detached you cannot heal or, rather, you cannot heal to the best of your ability. The healer must always view the patient with detachment: compassion, yes, but always with detachment. The healer must see clearly as he or she looks into their patient´s eyes the nature of their soul being. The healer must see clearly the source of their disease, the nature of their inner being, and should always strive to heal not just the outer disease but the inner cause. It is the wise healer that looks first to the cause and then to the disease.

Divinity of Body and Soul

In an Age which is witnessing so many new beginnings, do not be afraid to try to heal. In as much as you are all divine instruments and you align yoursleves with the healing flow of the Cosmos you are fulfilling the true purpose of your beings. Many new techniques of healing will soon be discovered and the ways of the old will gradually begin to disappear. They will be regarded as outdated by the people of the New Age.

Now that is not to say that all medicine in the World today is wrong, that all surgery is unnecessary, for it has shown that it is capable of great acts of healing in many fields. Nevertheless, the main stream of medicine today has become detached from the divinity of life. It does not recognise the source of life. It does not recognise the divinity of the human body or of the soul that dwells within it. For a true healer, that must always come first.

Path of Human Destiny

I would ask those of you who are thinking of becoming healers to consider carefully. There can be no greater role in life. All the great Masters who have walked the physical plane of life have been healers. They have been healers because the World has always been sick. The World has always been in dis-ease, has always been divided. That is the path of human destiny.

While Humanity has choice, while there is goodness and evil, inevitably some will choose evil. Some will choose the learning process of illness and disease, and to those I would say, greet that illness just as you would greet health. Recognise that you are carrying forward not just your evolution but the evolution of the whole human race.

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

THE HEALING TOUCH -- PART TWO

We live in an Age when more than ever before people are beginning to search for and experiment with forms of treatment neither recognised nor accepted by the medical profession.

Divinity of the Physical Body

A growing number of people are using forms of treatment which recognise the divinity of the physical body and, above all, which regard themselves as instruments of healing. Now that is not to say that there are not surgeons and doctors who do not regard the human body as a divine creation and try to attune to it when they operate and try to heal. There are some who do this, but one only has to look at the nature of many surgical operations today to see that for many surgery has become an intellectual exercise devoid of feeling, a game of physical skill played at the expense of the human body with its only objective to fulfil the will of the surgeon or the doctor.

Compare this with those who heal through the healing touch, through the laying on of hands, through the invocation of higher energies, through prayer and absent healing. Here you will see a recognition of the part that the Divinity plays in the healing process, an acceptance of the fact that every individual is a channel of divine energy.

The Nature of Healing

It is essential, therefore, for those who heal through the healing touch that they ensure that the person who is being healed is aware of the part that the Divinity plays in the healing process. For the patient to lie in front of the healer and to expect the healer to heal them is no better than the patient lying on the operating table and expecting the surgeon´s knife to work a miracle. The patient must understand what is the nature of healing and, above all, the responsibilities inherent in healing. The patient must realise that healing energy has to be invoked and that there has to be a "flow" of energy to them through the healing touch. They should always be conscious of, and invoke, that energy.

Transference of Energy

Healing is not just a process of one person giving energy to another. Rather it is the process of one person acting as a channel to another, of positive energy to negative receptivity. There has to be a transference of energy for the healing to take place. This is the point of the story in the Bible of the woman in the crowd who touched the hem of Jesus´s cloak as he passed by and was subsequetly healed. Both felt the transference of energy but it was the woman´s faith in the power of that Master and her invocation of the healing energy that created the flow and resulted in her being healed.

The Healing Source

In the World today, where the Divinity is hardly ever recognised, the essential role of the healer is to teach as well as to heal. The healer should teach the patient as to the source of the healing energy, which is the Creator of all life. Therefore every act of healing should be seen as an act of worship. Every healer should demonstrate the fact that they are simply channels for that divine energy and that it is the source of the nergy that should be invoked and thanked, not the healer. It should be made clear that the healing process is initiated from the higher planes, not from the physical plane of life.

Not Always Granted

It must always be clearly understood that the Divinity, knowing the destiny of Humanity and the cause of an individual´s disease, does not always heal. Some people expect that if they go down on their knees and ask for healing that they will always be healed and, what is more, in the way that they expect. It must be clearly understood that the Lords of Karma, the great beings who control and maintain the balance of human life and creativity on the Earth, judge without emotion. They see only the spiritual reality of what an individual has created and, therefore, what that individual must attract back to himself or herself. It is the nature and destiny of some people to be ill. That must be recognised.

Part Three follows....

This article is from "The Fantastic Teachings of Ramala"

THE HEALING TOUCH -- PART ONE

Although we live in a World of great technological achievement, a World where Science, Humanity´s Science, is indeed becoming a god, few people today really understand the true nature of disease or recognise the divinity of the human body, the nature and effect of Healing, its source and its energy.



The Nature of Disease

Many people are on the healing vibration, but before we can consider the nature of healing and the healing techniques that are present on the Earth today we must first look at the nature of disease, that which necessitates healing. Most people today regard disease as the visitation on a healthy body by a foreign object. Disease is considered to be an invasion from outside the body and, as such, can be healed in a similar fashion.

In the World today few people understand that every illness is self-created and that the seeds of any illness always lie within the human body. The medical profession today, with its practice of treating the symptoms and not the cause of disease, tends to support the view that illness can best be treated from outside the body and then only by qualified practitioners. As a result of this attitude the individual´s responsibility for health at this time has perhaps never been lower.


A Magnetic Being

You must understand a disease before you can heal it. You must recognise that every human being is a magnetic being, a being capable of attracting unto itself according to the nature of its own creations in thought, word and deed. The note that you send out, the vibrations that you emanate, come back to you no matter the level of life on which you dwell.

You have within you a magnetic power with the potential for good or for evil. It is the note which you sound that attracts the corresponding vibrations of the Cosmos to you, there being in the Cosmos an equal potential for good and for evil. It is how you choose to use that cosmic power that brings about evolution. According to the way you live your life so you attract into your being the corresponding vibrations of the Cosmos and these affect the various elements within your body which can lead to disease.


Creations of the Mind

If you take something that is so prevalant in the World today, the smoking of cigarettes and the disease associated with it, it is easy to see how the one action leads to the others. However, many diseases in your World today are what you would call psychosomatic and are created on a different level: they are the creations of the mind and are not solely the result of physical actions. Such diseases are created in the first place by the individual on the higher levels of life and then manifest later on the physical level. Any person with the necessary psychic powers can see an illness on the higher levels before it manifests on the physical plane of life.


Taking Responsibility

Humanity has to learn that it must take responsibility for everything that it creates within the divinity of its body. Every disease, every illness, including the disease of cancer, is self-originating. It is created by the individual human being. The fact that you have plagues or epidemics when a large number of people die from a certain disease merely represents the collective thought forms, the collective energies and consciousness of the people in that society. A healthy body can resist any plague, any illness. Disease, therefore, in the broadest sense can be seen as being karmic. That which you have sown you attract unto yourselves.


The Medical Profession

As we look at the nature of healing it is essential that you remember the source of disease. The medical profession today with its allopathic medicine and surgical practices does not encourage sick people to be responsible for their own healing. Moreover, for the most part, sick people offer their bodies to the doctors and the surgeons and allow themselves to be drugged and operated upon without questioning what is the short term or the long term effects of a drug or an operation. They expect the doctors and the surgeons to be god, to remove the disease in their body and to restore them to perfect health.

In the medical profession today there is scant regard for the divinity of life and for the wholeness or holiness of the physical body. For the most part, the doctor is not concerned either in discovering the cause of a disease or in educating the person that suffers from a disease as to how to prevent it in the future. Disease is seen simply as a foreign body to be removed as quickly as possible and the patient to be allowed to return to his or her fomer lifestyle afterwards.
