3 - Spirit Healers in Healing
April 1988
In the spirit of power
and wholeness I come into this room to commune and speak for a
little while through the voice of this medium in sentences which may
contain an understanding of those truths and ideas which need to be
crystallised into sound to become knowledge to the earthly life.
In the
power of peace and with the spirit of light and healing, I release
the energies of renewing life that you may be impregnated with
healing energy and quickening life and, receiving this, be
strengthened for the work that you have to do, the lessons you have
to learn and the burdens you have to bear. In peace, in harmony and
love, I come here and bless each one.
Beloved brothers and
sisters, as I take control of this medium I hear the questions which
arise in your minds relating to this great subject of healing, your
question as to what part we of spirit play in bringing about healing
and restoration.
Before I
can answer your question I must set before you our view, the view of
spirit which relates to this which you call healing. You regard
healing simply as the overcoming of bodily pain or the rebuilding of
a bodily organ into strength and health, something which relates
entirely to the body and physical person. But we of spirit who
serve and teach from spirit, regard healing as a restoration of
harmony, restoration of that pattern which the soul has created and
the spirit desires; we seek to restore the pattern and harmony
which is natural to the being whom we are trying to help. Therefore
we do not see healing as only relating to the physical being, we see
it as relating to the soul, the mind and the spiritual being of each
individual. It is in this sphere that our real healing work is to
be discovered.
From time
to time we remain close to the beloveds who are taking the earthly
incarnation that we may impart strength to them if some earthly
experience is testing them, testing their patience or love to such a
degree that it is breaking down the pattern of the soul, and through
breaking down the pattern in the soul body there may also come a
breakage in the physical body. So we come with a ministry of
healing and guidance, a ministry of comfort to help souls such as
these in their time of testing and distress. You of earth do not
call this healing, you say it is the help which spirit is giving;
but in our view this is a work of healing because it is a healing
of the soul, and through strengthening the soul there is often the
elimination of weakness or disease in the physical body.
And when
our beloveds are going through the earthly experience of bereavement
and the suddenness of death separates them from the spirit of a
beloved – a wife may lose her husband, a mother lose her child, or a
brother lose a sister – whatever the separation, we of spirit see
this as a wounding of the soul. If love has been there, the
physical death of a beloved is a degree of shock to the ethereal
being, and with that shock there is also loneliness and sometimes
terror, or simply grief. This we regard as a sickness of the soul.
We draw near to try to heal the souls of such beloveds by bringing
them the reassurance that their beloveds still live: we pour into
the empty places of the heart our own panacea of spiritual love or
weave around the soul body tenuous strands of our own spiritual
colour – all this that healing may be brought there and the wound in
the soul may close.
You in the
earthly life do not call this healing but simply call it comforting,
you say the spirit comes to bring evidence or to comfort the
mourner. But we regard this as true spiritual healing, and many,
many spirits are engaged in a task such as this.
We see the
sorrow of the world, the sorrow which comes to the souls of people
through the greed and unkindness and ignorance of other men and
women who oppress or bring into being hunger and fear - which in
itself brings about a sickness of the soul, a grey fog which creeps
through the soul of a nation. This also is a spiritual illness
which needs to be healed. So groups of spirits will bind themselves
into unity to sweep clear this fog of ignorance and diseased thought
and replace it by new thoughts of love and understanding. When you
of earth are aware of such a ministry, you will say that spirit is
there to teach people and lift them out of ignorance; but we of
spirit say that we have been trying to heal the soul of a nation by
clearing away the roots of old prejudice and ancient ignorance.
Thus you must understand that when we speak of healing, we speak of
it in a different manner compared to the way you use the word in
your mortal life.
In the
mortal existence it seems that you link your thoughts and souls to
spirit with the idea that they may transmit to you and through you
the quickening energies of spiritual force, the quickening energies
of life, and by conveying these you strengthen the ethereal body and
then the physical bodies of the loved ones around you in the earthly
world. But I would say to you who desire to unfold your healing
abilities, Try to see how big a task this is, realise that if you
are to be true healers you must not limit yourselves simply to the
bringing of a little light into a blind eye or a little hearing to
an ear which is deaf, a little movement into a limb which is
crippled. The fullness of your healing must be in the changing of
the soul; the impatience in the soul is changed into patience and
peace, and the irritation which inevitably arises where there is
pain is changed into acceptance and relaxation. This is part of
your spiritual healing, you are healing upon the soul level.
Your
healing should also be applied to teach those who are round you how
to inbreathe the life energies, how to open to the great flow of
energy forces, rather than making them dependent upon the work which
you yourself may do.
You who
desire to serve in this way must come to see that the greatest
sickness in the soul of humanity is simply that the love of self
seldom extends into the love of brother and sister. If there is a
desire to help, love should stream from the soul in tenderness and
beauty, for a great deal of the sickness of the body is due to the
soul being famished for the food of love, for companionship and
understanding.
If you are
to be a true healer you must learn how to walk beside those who are
sick, to strengthen and support them until they are strong enough to
stand by themselves; you must be prepared to listen to their tales
of woe and change these tales into stories of hope and joy. In so
doing you bring about healing upon the level of the soul and release
the hidden energy of the spirit which lies deep within the inner
centre of every soul. When that soul energy is touched, complete
healing and restoration come into being. Until you have learned to
understand and heal in this fashion you will be guided and supported
by those who understand more of this than you do, those in spirit
who come with love and compassion and try to teach you, as a healer,
to heal upon all levels of the being of the one who is sick.
So I say to
you, Those spirit helpers who are guides and guardians in this work
come with varying tasks to perform. There are some who will make it
their work to influence your hands or arms to move at the impulse of
the spirit ones so that healing energy is directed to the place
where it is needed. Some draw near to impress into the spiritual
aura a reservoir of power which may be directed to the needs of
earth’s sufferers; and some come to impart understanding to the
mind, or increase love in the heart of the healer.
Others
simply come to weave strands of colour that the healer and patient
may be strongly bonded together by tenuous threads of light as
delicate as the filaments which are sent forth from the body of a
spider. When they weave these tenuous threads, unity and harmony is
established between the soul of the healer and the soul of the sick
one. In this tenuous linkage spirit may come to bring a soothing,
an easing and encouraging influence until such a sick one is better.
Even more
than this is the task which is undertaken by some helpers of spirit
in guiding and supporting those in the earthly life who minister to
the sick and needy - the doctor, the nurse and the healer. Each of
these have their circles of attending spirits and each attending
spirit has a particular task to perform; they may be a doctor or
nurse or matron but they have been blessed by the High Powers of
spirit and stand as the representative of Light.
Into your
schools, in the places where children come for teaching and
learning, we send forth one who is a representative of the true
spirit of light and understanding, one soul to stand and shed forth
the purity and light of spirit into the conditions of that
particular school. We do the same in churches, the places wherein
peoples worship. There will not be many who are representatives of
spirit, but always there is one – one who has knowledge of the
Truth, who can be used by spirit and stands as the representative of
Truth Eternal.
Our work is
growing and extending - we seek now for men and women who may go
into the factories and working places, that within these places
there may be one man or woman who stands as the representative of
Truth, holding fast to the understanding of Truth Eternal and
radiating thoughts of harmony and peace – this one too is the
representative of spirit.
It is in
this representing of the power of Truth that so many of you are
called upon to serve, this carrying forth of the true light into the
highways and by-ways of life. Often you will say: “The service I
can render is so small,” and sometimes: “I would that I could be a
visionary, that I could be a healer.” But we say to you, Accept
your calling and give forth light in the place wherein you find
yourself; when your light is shed and the transmutation is
complete, then greater work may be found for you. But for the
present time learn to do the Will of the great Giver of Light,
through yourself in the place wherein you find yourself, in the
fullness of harmony and the beauty of peace.
It is good
that you come from the outer ways of the earth life to commune with
us for a while. It is not only in the words that are said but also
in the spiritual power which we transmit through the aura of our
medium, in the indefinable weaving of the thread of our thought with
your thought that the work of spirit is done.
Not only is
it done here in the silence of this sanctuary but it is done in many
places and at many times. Sometimes you will be aware of the
strength of spirit coming to you when you feel weak and ineffectual,
you will be aware of contact being created from spirit when you
desire to help one who is weaker than yourself. In our work we are
not confined to rooms or mediums, nor to sanctuaries, churches or
places; our work is done spirit to spirit and soul to soul. Once
the golden thread of thought has been interwoven into the mind of
those whom we love, then we can swiftly and easily renew that
contact and bring again the help which is desired.
Therefore I
say to you, Go forth with joy and peace, serve and search in your
own appointed places, know that you have work to do and that you
have not gathered together by chance. In your quiet times of
meditation and peace, think sometimes that a golden globe of
spiritual healing is created within your hands. From your hands
there flows always a spiritual magnetism and spiritual force which
usually shows through the human hand in rays of blue, either deep or
pale. When the fingers are curled then the blue radiance which
streams from the hand becomes turned in upon itself and a blue globe
is created there with the blueness of this force. Meditate and
think upon this blue globe which you create within your own hand,
because it is the blue globe of the healing which later you will
use.
When you
desire to prepare yourself for the healing of another, sometimes
fold over your fingers and close in the force within your hand. The
spiritual force of your own spirit may thus become concentrated
within your own hands which are your tools, and instead of your
spiritual magnetic force streaming forth into the atmosphere through
your open fingers, it is conserved and held within yourself. When
you then give your hands in healing and comradeship to another, the
blueness of this force is transmitted to them in life and beauty.
When you
know not upon what to think and meditate, think upon the blue globe
of power – it is the globe of healing which is entrusted unto each
and every one. As you think upon it within the inward
consciousness, within the living mind, there comes the silver thread
of realisation - and a greater concentration of light can flow to
you from the Infinite Giver of Light. As you think upon the blue
globe within your hands it is charged and transformed by silver
radiance, it becomes at last a great glowing silvery ball of healing
which you can hold on high and shed in beauty into the lives of the
many whom you meet and the many whom you desire to help.
Question:
How do the spirit healers and guides come into this service – those
who work with us?
Ramadahn:
Those who
join with you in your healing ministry? Beloved one, there are a
variety of spirits who will conjoin their influence with such as
yourself, but invariably they are ones who, during the earthly
incarnation or earthly life, had a desire to help others in the
earthly world, or had a knowledge of earth’s finer forces such as
those you call the ‘Red Indians’, or who had a knowledge of the
ethereal substances of the physical body such as the Chinese who
understood the energy points. Such ones will draw near a potential
healer and there will be brought into being, as you will call it, a
matching between their particular energy forces and those of the
potential medium or healer; and as the healer progresses in the
ministry of love using their own energies and aura for the purpose
of helping others, so the ethereal energies slowly become refined
and then other healers from spirit will be attracted, or will come
forward to work with you.
Each healer
is matched to a particular level of energy in the aura of the
healing medium, and so you may be familiar with one spirit or two,
but invariably there is a group, each one serving a particular
purpose and bringing a particular ray or special colour.
Question:
If a Red Indian comes, then he goes and a Chinese is given, and then
someone else – can they be the same one at different incarnations?
Ramadahn:
It is not
usually so, beloved one, but the coming and going may be the times
when their particular potency is being matched or blended with that
of the medium or healer. Occasionally you may have a spirit who has
had one or two earthly experiences, but to come back to the earthly
atmosphere and work with a healer or medium would be very difficult
for one carrying the ethereal memories of so many past experiences.
Invariably those who come, come in their own ethereal bodies: and
here, working with the medium, I have quite a large group of helping
spirits, but each one retains their memory or semblance of their
last life existence.
Oh, Thou great Giver of
Light, in this still moment of prayer and thought we uplift unto
Thee the hands of the children who are here. May each of them,
creating their own blue globe of healing, receive the silvery
radiance of Thy Divine Blessing. May these globes of healing, thus
sanctified and re-created and transmitted through the mind into
their own hands, be carried forward in beauty and peace into the
outer world, becoming to others the symbol of Thy Love and Thine
Everlasting Truth.
We offer
unto Thee the symbols of their service, the symbol of their hands
and the healing which is within their hands: enbathed in Thy
radiance, may it be the power, the blessing and the beauty which
they retain from this time unto all the times which are still to be.
May peace,
power, light and radiance be here, and abide for all times.
