2.3 Special Items Related to Health in its Broadest Sense "Medical History" has been written many times over past civilisations as new methods and approaches are tried against disease and afflictions. There will be many more histories made in the years to come as life styles and injuries take a new turn. The wars will cause new approaches also, in time mainly as an after result of the injuries but also the lingering effects of dirty weapons. The western world, Russia (and China to a smaller degree) will be responsible for most of the innovations and discoveries as the Asian peoples are not really concerned along more than a "patch-em up and get them moving" again lines. The doctors and scientists have no choice along these lines as they are not free to choose their options - in fact they have no real options. Americans are really brilliant when inventing weapons and warfare methods, but they are at their most brilliant and compassionate, and spiritual nadir, when they turn their genius to healing and mending - too bad they can't stick to that policy and leave the wars to others. They are also, with the Russians, most brilliant at readying their exit from this space-time continuum on to the next. Working together Russia and America could perform miracles and with emotional maturity find a welcome into outer space. It will come, it must come, and once the mentalities of the war generations have died away a form of golden age could yet come about. Sooner or later the carnage and continuous non-solving of problems by violence will bring about the realisation that spiritual means are the only means of a basis to progress in any field. Medicine could be a glorious profession as our spiritual, physical, and emotional bodies are one and simply cannot be sub-divided, one part receiving less attention or incorrect attention without the whole suffering from the imbalance. There is a break-through medically in the offing and it will come to prominence by the end of 1985 to mid 1986. 1 won't say what, you will know. The artificial transplants will continue (artificial materials i.e.) but they will never really be accepted, nor should they as there is no need when so much can be preserved or grown. God's Plan definitely does not include polluting or debasing the human body/psyche with metals, plastics (except as joints) or with animal transplants. It disturbs the aura, the etheric body emanations - it is really an abomination. Atlantis brought itself down in this manner. God's world has built-in safety devices, tampering with His human creation is the strongest of all and will not be tolerated. So hope ye all that scientists do not carry onwards in that direction; direct prayers and right thought towards any area you know is straying from the path. Bodies will not become such that they can be re-grown or fitted (in a major way) with grown organs or patches. There is a natural attrition and just so much that any body can accommodate but healthy living will enable accidental injuries etc., to be fixed so that life can continue on a reasonable level for a good length of time. The great extension of years, that many fancy, will not come about for a long time and not before space travel and contact elsewhere has been achieved. There is a purpose for greatly prolonged life spans which has not arrived yet and if it were to be brought about too soon the result would be detrimental to the mental/emotional balances. People do not examine implications in any depth and in this case they must be seen with a clear and dispassionate eye as the effect would be in almost 99.99% of the cases complete devastation and a perversion of the original intention. It is not anyone's fault, people mean well, but evolution must carry along at a natural pace and along the proper paths, all of nature is geared along these lines and they cannot be circumvented. Perhaps if we all simply lived our lives in the way we have been told that God would have us live them and leave the results in God's hands, where they reside whether we like it or not, then we would achieve all that we could have really desired and will be at peace with ourselves and our world. However, each person chooses his pathway and his mode of travelling along it. I am not concerned with the individual, it is the groups of persons who I would hope to influence to develop themselves and they to reach out and influence others who wish to listen, to hear, and to follow. We can only show the way, and carry on with our own work. (24.6.85) Abortion is something that should not really happen in an ordered society unless it is a case of spontaneous abortion. Spirits here, readying for incarnation, choose parents regardless of whether there is a possibility of abortion, although if one has chosen the trial of being crippled or blinded it is not as clear cut as it used to be, as of course the spirit would prefer to be born rather than have to re-choose a "setting". When there is a pregnancy because of inter-family interference a spirit here may still choose to inhabit the foetus; also if the pregnancy has occurred through rape; but "things" become far more difficult. In the first case the genes and background are obvious but the recessive effect is tricky. In rape it is difficult as (especially when more than one influence(male) is present) the genetic background and "carry-forward" possibilities of behaviour of all "families" concerned is very difficult to chart. Again, spirits may choose this return but they have their own special reasons, and there are many valid ones which we will deal with another time - but the chance of abortion does complicate and inhibit the entry into the foetus. Sometimes the soul enters and settles in full confidence, and they will "go in" at the first opportunity. When it is incest or rape and there is a question about the outcome some spirits delay entry and even then (or when they enter at first chance) they "sit" uneasily. When the child is born the soul never really does well as reincarnation should be as a whole-hearted approach, in many cases it is difficult enough, without the uncertainty factor. Abortion as such is not a real crime "to the foetus" unless it is so late, and even then the spirit recovers but it is a "small death" often, in those cases. Early on there is not a spirit present, a spark of life perhaps, but mechanical rather than a soul spark unless, as we say, there is a strong certainty of foetus survival in which case the soul may enter at the first possible moment. Abortion is a sad thing to the female, even if in many cases any effect (aside from relief) is denied. This would come under a sub-conscious effect and in normally sensitive psyches colours their emotions for quite some time. Extremely sensitive persons would be more affected, longer, etc. We, and certainly not Earth's peoples, cannot make moral judgements re abortion as it is not your life and not your karma. The karmic result depends on many things, all personal to the persons involved (the male has his share of karmic duty to assume). In an ideal society abortions would not exist except for medical purposes in quite strict cases. In an ideal society, on your Earth that is, it is not a question on other planets, ones more evolved. So while abortion is not something to be encouraged, in the long view one cannot judge, if the innocent were to be made to suffer along with the self-indulgent, in your vernacular "they'll get theirs". But it should be more controlled in one sense, to have lax standards and then abort is a very poor standard of life indeed. So the morals are what should be looked at of the world at large, not just some young, or misguided peoples. The question of abortion we answer but it is necessary for it to be looked at in a very wide context and certainly without the emotional bigotry that is often exhibited. So many questions of ethics are tackled out of context, which is why there is confusion. If one were to examine the whole fabric of your society you would see the how and why it happens and what can/should be done towards a solution. Unless done for medical reasons it is not an ideal solution but not, mainly, for the arguments used generally (the "little deaths" can be handled), it is the negative vibrations generated and the whole karmic damage, all of which would not occur in a less selfish, less materialistic and more spiritual society. (Material possessions and money are not wrong, it is the "acquiring of" method, the use of, and disposal of, that is. Again, this many of you know, accept, and certainly at least try to practise). It all (the questions we answer) does go back again and again, to the spiritual necessity of a whole and healthy society. All questions of ethics can become "tricky" because they need to be looked at as part of a larger pattern (the "wheels within wheels" etc.). (25.8.85) Question The disease AIDS is said to devastate the earth by killing ? of its population. Can you see this happening? Answer AIDS will be a big killer, so will many other diseases and conditions. Cancer is still not beaten, with your environment becoming more polluted and stress more widespread. AIDS is more a disease of the civilised world, which is not saying much for your kind of progress. In the Third World countries, as you very aptly name them, the old diseases exist and will flourish as times and conditions become harder. Cholera is always ready to reoccur plus many more will make a comeback unless people are prepared to recognise this possibility when they occur. How many medical persons today would recognise the symptoms of the old diseases? (28.1.85) My main interest when living as a doctor was to improve the human body, not to change it in any way. The body has been created as perfect, it is only what we have done to ourselves over the many many years that has brought about harm, weakness and distortions. Our thinking, feeling, bodies are important but so indeed is the physical shell. With the physical body we can perform, discover, and perfect all of the other worlds in existence. To keep the body in good health requires the proper balance of food, mental attitudes, spiritual beliefs and so on. None of these things are of good use unless all are in harmony. Those persons who have compensated for various defects by putting tremendous efforts and abilities into important discoveries, music, and art have done so as a form of karmic retribution. But our aim is to go beyond behaviour requiring karmic redress. If the world of humans could gradually overcome its defects in thinking and behaviour and strive for the common good, physically and every other way, then the way "to the stars" would be open. Medical science is taking a very seriously wrong direction in interfering in the genetic make-up of Man. God made Man and God re-makes Man as a natural order over generations. (In other words we have been given an in-built ability to adjust to conditions as they and we evolve). Medical science should concentrate on improving the conditions of our living, eating, and social surroundings. Weaknesses can be bred out of the race by giving knowledge to the humans involved, hereditary aberrances would die out if not produced through not having children. That may not be easy, but we have a duty to our future generations not to contribute negatively to them. Abortions should not be necessary really if good nutrition and no pollutants existed. I could go on along this line but you understand my meaning. Instead of turning outwards, to re-design the human being, mankind should be improving the conditions in which humans live and breed. This does not mean that artificial means of strengthening our bones and joints are not valid, anything can be damaged by accident, so mending, not discarding is in order. To transplant organs is too traumatic for the majority of bodies, and it is far better to prevent faulty or damaged hearts and kidneys than to start replacing them with another person's, or even worse, with inert ones. Inert "organs" cannot receive messages from the brain/soul and therefore can never be a true and proper part of the body. However, until the aware can exert enough influence by spiritual means, by correct thinking and diet, then medical and engineering science will work towards re-fashioning the body. And as for freezing dead bodies, that is a joke, a macabre joke. I'll discuss their souls at another time. (5.9.85) Question When the body is anaesthetised (as for an operation), what effect, if any, is there on the soul body? Answer We are glad that you added "as for an operation" as there are varying forms of, and reasons for, anaesthesia. The correct form, for medical reasons, releases the soul body just as a deep sleep would. Pre-operation attitudes, just as pre-sleep attitudes, dictate the state and behaviour of the souls' occupation while released. It would normally remain and observe the medical procedures whilst strengthening the body/psyche during its trauma. Prepared properly it can do great good but if pre-operative states have been that of panic, fear, etc., the soul body has its work cut out to deal with the physical body. That body has become disruptive towards the health procedures occurring - it is fearful or negative, and the soul body must calm it as well as is possible before even being allowed to begin healing vibrations. So it is very important to prepare oneself for any incursions into unconsciousness so that the bodies can co-operate in their task. Anaesthesia brought about improperly, by drugs of addiction, LSD, and so forth has a very detrimental effect on the soul body. The whole reason for imbibing these opiates is wrong, so the mind, spirit, and emotions are at complete odds with one another and with their spiritual counterparts. In such cases the soul body can often only endeavour to protect the body/ psyche from the worst of the effects, and from the very negative influences which quickly surround the drug-takers and alcoholics. Needless to say many very low, and often very evil forms gather to feast or to attempt possession. The derelicts are safe from the evil ones, they inherit the low and very low base spirits instead - many are not even human. (5.11.85) Illnesses in the world are usually a reflection of the ways of that time - of the moral attitudes and of the monetary standards. When there was little money for the majority, and people were not living in and of the country, then illnesses reflecting poor food, living and working conditions, poorly formed babies and so on - there were illnesses like rickets, pellagra, typhoid (from crowding and poor hygiene), tuberculosis - well all those sorts of things. Cancer was not advanced, as cancer is on the whole the illness of plenty. At one time people had stress diseases of ulcers, bursitis, lumbago, rheumatism, now it is more likely to turn to cancer. Tuberculosis yielded to better housing etc., and food, sleep and so forth; plus the weakness died out in the peoples themselves. Actually it is difficult to go deeply into this subject technically as there would have to be headings and sub-headings and side excursions about seeming exceptions or anomalies. But anyone who can put two and two together can soon study disease over the ages and realise the pattern I am pointing out. Sexual-related diseases have always been rampant in permissive societies, i.e., the wealthy and aristocratic males especially. Or amongst peoples who by their ignorance and poverty formed no moral standards. These races have always degenerated and it is surprising that anthropologists have not pointed this out, though many have privately. The aboriginals are a point in fact of promiscuous behaviour - they are a race who have not overvalued human life and especially not female life. Here, as in many savage races the male reigns supreme as the warrior and the giver of life, (Which is a balance I suppose - he who takes life gives life in return). Races where there has been a more delicate attitude to the mores of man/woman relationships are the races which prospered in every way. Yes indeed, the white man has been a great offender, but not as an overall attitude, they have recognised the need for a stable relationship, the family. So look at the diseases down the centuries and you will find a pattern. Today your AIDS replaces syphilis etc., and is slightly more lethal because the cause is more degenerate. Look at your societies and you can see what ailments will eventuate. And cancer will not decrease until airborne and edible pollution is brought under control. Lack of stress, emotional balance and so on can surely relieve the pressures thereby lessening the body's tendency to develop cancer - it won't stop it though if other attitudes are not changed. Medical science is realising all this but there's a long row to hoe before they can do anything drastic or dramatic about it. The food manufacturers in every field, the factory owners, those benefiting from pornography and drugs, they are all a mighty obstacle to progress. Politicians and religious people don't help either, so its a "do-it-your- self'" world, and "pass the message along" road to health, until one day a break-through occurs. If it occurs, who can say? So it is very important that you do all that you can towards nutrition and right thought, right practice in life. (6.4.87) Question If a person can be healed, when a particular part of karma has been satisfied, why isn't the healing an automatic result? Is it because it is growthful to have to search for the healing itself - so that it means something? Answer Healing in not directly tied in with karma. It may be a result from it, in the sense that the traumas of karmic upset aggravate some part of the physical system, but the usual karmic illnesses are of the nature of cystic fibrosis, or a blinding or crippling disease and so forth. Those are a part of the karmic condition and are not usually meant to be healed because they are a form of penance - retribution if you like, and a teaching aid. So someone may repay a karmic debt and still have some form of illness if they have not changed sufficiently, or developed enough insight. Some may pay their debt and go on punishing themselves for instance - either through ignorance still of the need for change, or as a martyr-complex and so on. Others may retain the illness because they are working on a further part of themselves and using that condition as a shaping tool, the furnace, that is. In the latter case that would have been allowed for in some way during pre-incarnation planning. With knowledge of the human psyche you can realise that many can repay a debt out of a sense of justice, but without love, understanding, forgiveness in all its forms; there would still be a lot of learning to be done. There are many uses of karma, it is not cut and dried, and many persons who are still floundering are not necessarily affected by karma at all, they are affected by their own need to look inwardly honestly and use discipline to come "in out of the cold". And I won't explain that one for why should I do all of your thinking for you? (10-5.87) Of all the debts we owe to ourselves the first and foremost is to love and care for our bodies. They are our link with the past, or vehicle and protection in the present, and our key to the door of the future. No one body should be favoured over the other even if that means that the pathway we wish to travel along is not entered upon or travelled along as swiftly as we had hoped. The great mistake for most talented humans is that they value the child prodigies when they should respect and develop all of their talents. Some may return to earth with a one-mindedness that compels unusual speed on the path but that should be the exception rather than the rule. To develop exclusivity on any plane is to bring about divisiveness, for that very person is divided from his own sphere of talents. So always try to encourage, especially in the raising of the young, a more even-handed way of life, then not just all of that person will benefit, but so too will the world, for there will be empathy with and understanding of each others gifts.
