Letting the energy flow. Causes and influences from other lives. Sylvia Browne. The Ramala Teachings
In any type of healing we allow all levels of
God’s energy to flow; call it what you will – the life
force, our ground of being or the cosmic
love-intelligence. At the unconscious level, the
ground of being is allowed to flow naturally, the
life-force restoring balance and healthy growth. At
the conscious level, we apply what remedies we can and
clear away our own negative thoughts, the cause of
fears and unhealthy emotions which block the
life-giving energy, leading to stagnation and the
growth of infection and disease. Spirit guides and
doctors can see the damage done by accident or
disease, and help to restore the etheric body so that
the physical body can move back to balanced
functioning, curing the problems. Healing takes place
every day without our knowing it, as scratches and
abrasions and minor ulcers and ruptures are taken care
of and heal themselves ‘naturally’.
When no apparent cause for a disease can be
found, often there is a connection with another
lifetime. There are a number of instances of this
given in Sylvia Browne’s casebook: “Insight.”
Undiagnosable and apparently incurable neck and wrist
pains and cancer in patients vanished after Sylvia
located the causes in past lives, the one patient
having been guillotined during the French Revolution,
the other having lived in Persia and having her hands
cut off as punishment for stealing. A painful foot,
the symptoms of which had never been successfully
treated, was cured after been traced back to a life as
a farmer’s boy with a club foot living in Virginia in
the early 1800s. The pain was released in the healing
light of spirit. A lady who couldn’t stand the smell
of wood fires found she had been burned at the stake
three centuries ago as a witch. A mother was afraid
to let her son go and leave home to get married, as he
had also been her son during the Civil War, and had
left to serve in the army and never returned. A drug
addict was cured after realizing she had other lives
where she was addicted to morphine or had been given
strong medication. I had a similar problem in a past
life, but it worked the opposite way for me. This
lifetime I have avoided drugs and medication like the
plague, and apart from the occasional drink, have
never had a craving for alcohol.
Phobias, neuroses, tendencies, attitudes and
depressions can have a past life connection, as can
gifts and talents and many ‘déjà vu’ experiences. So
‘nature and nurture,’ our genetic inheritance, and
our present lifetime’s environment are not the only
constituents of our character, state of health and
abilities.
Amongst my own family, friends and colleagues I
have sensed connections with other lives which have
brought us together at one time or another to deal
with certain situations, diseases or conditions. I
can’t go into specifics here, but they do tally with
what others have reported. Arthur Guirdham’s books
deal with the subject in great detail, with
corroborative evidence from the past. Leslie Flint
together with his guides and one or two of his sitters
and communicators formed a group of souls who
reincarnated a number of times together, and their
life themes, problems and relationships interlinked.
So healing takes place within a much wider and
all-embracing perspective which modern medicine has
ignored as it continues to search for cures of
symptoms only. Great sums of money, including
charitable donations, are invested in this futile
research, well-intentioned though it may be; and not
only humans suffer, but animals too as they are often
used in the horrible tests and experiments. There is
a vast spiritual debt being incurred here, which will
only result in further disease for the human race
until it starts to look for deeper causes, and change
its own behavior.
On a more specific level, from my own experience,
I have seen a chronic case where asthma was healed
after specialists, osteopaths and surgeons had given
up hope. The young man had suffered from asthma from
early childhood, with the father also asthmatic and an
aunt suffering from bronchitis. After all the doctors
had failed to cure him, he was sent to live in
Switzerland, in the hope that mountain air would ease
the condition. He was cured over a ten year period
after returning to England, but leaving the family and
all the negative influences there, finding love in a
caring girlfriend, and becoming responsible for his
own health and career. He since married and raised a
family and is still in good health forty years later.
Two mediums were told by spirit that they would be
working together on a special project. They did work
sucessfully for spirit for many years while continuing
their daytime jobs. However, when their spiritual
work was done, they both developed heart trouble which
had to be put right with surgery. Perhaps they did the
spirit work out of duty rather than for love, and it
resulted in the illness. How many other people don't
really love their work, and in consequence become ill
in one way or another. In the course of my working
career I have met many people made mentally or
physically ill because of lack of balance, or from
their not really liking what they were doing. It was
not stress, a generic term which avoids us looking at
real causes and so covering up a multitide of sins!
Looking back in history, another medium,
Emily French, had heart problems, yet sustained a long
career of independent direct voice mediumship. She
lost her husband early on when he was killed in the
Civil War, and never remarried. However we cannot
judge or interpret other people’s lives, as we can
never know all the circumstances. We can merely
observe and take note of correspondences and
tendencies to help us in our understanding.
In two cases of rheumatoid arthritis, one was
alleviated but the other ended in early death. One
was a pastor with a wife and children, the other the
wife of a university professor. The pastor was
inflexible, stubborn and rigid in beliefs and
behavior. The wife in the other case was a caring
mother but grew bitter and jealous because of her
husband’s infidelities over the years in affairs with
his students. Both developed serious arthritis, of
which the pastor eventually died after amputations,
carrying his inflexibility to the grave. In contrast,
after the professor retired and died of cancer, his
wife’s arthritis became less severe, and after
forgiving and forgetting and letting go of the past,
she is mobile and living a pain-free old age. One of
her children never married, the other enjoyed a brief
marriage and then divorced. Perhaps the ‘atmosphere’
at home unconsciously influenced their lives too.
Incidentally, both Mrs Maynard and Jane Roberts died
of this painful disease at the end of their careers
as mediums.
Lord Dowding suffered painfully from arthritis during the last 15 years of his life, when he had completed his investigations into Spiritualism and had done much spirit rescue work. Perhaps having been forced into retirement just after having successfully led the Battle of Britain left some bitterness which turned into this disease a decade later.
Two professional men I knew both developed ALS
(Lou Gehrig’s disease) in middle age, and died within
3 or 4 years of the diagnosis. They had both pursued
energetic business careers and had taxed their bodies
to the limit in vigorous sports activities. There is
a human cost in living for the bottom line and
pursuing the almighty dollar, or trying to keep up to
impossible standards of physical fitness.
I will just mention here how I noticed home life
affected students I taught at all levels of primary,
elementary and high school education. Each student
brought aptitudes, attitudes, interests (or lack of
them) into the classroom, and it was impossible to
make contact and help in a lot of cases since the
troubles were so insurmountable, and love was very
much lacking in so many cases. Although many students
had good home lives, others were physically,
emotionally or verbally abused, neglected or spoiled,
and taught no standards to live by. Some became
dropouts from school. Us teachers just had to give
what we could with so little time and energy
available. Teaching and facilitating in the
classroom, and other forms of social and police
work, are very energy-depleting occupations, and we
have to pray for God’s help if we are to continue
without burning out, and we can’t pray out loud, since
religion is kept out of the classroom. That is a
great mistake, I think. We can respect the different
backgrounds students come from, while at the same time
giving a general course in ethics and comparative
religion.
But here we are discussing healing, and now here
is a brief message from Brother Mandus, excerpted from
his book : “Healing in his Light.”
“The Kingdom of God is that state of high
consciousness within you which is perfection in your
life. As you dwell therein the Lord will express in
you as love, health, joy, success and all good. In my
own experience many people have healed in mind and
body of awful ills simply by realizing the presence of
God.
I do not ask you to rely solely on what I tell
you. You can prove it for yourself. That is the most
wonderful truth about a person’s relationship with the
spirit within. We have instant contact, and the
natural right to go to our Heavenly Father at all
times. I only ask you to fulfil his law of Love, and
to enter into his Kingdom with definite and simple
faith.
Ministers, who would long to ease the burdens of
those in need through ‘divine healing’, do please
accept my word that healing is not a special gift
given to few. If it were so, then prayer itself would
be a very poor channel. If you have love, and faith,
then the Lord can and will heal through you.
If I may presume to advise, I advocate
inspirational instead of formal prayers. I feel the
need is to abandon ourselves completely to the Lord,
knowing that we are channels, which He makes perfect
for his purposes. Then we shall lay hands upon the
sick and they shall recover.
I would further emphasize that although divine
healing registers on the body by removal of some
illness, the action actually takes place in the mind,
or spirit, of both minister and patient. It is indeed
spiritual healing, which usually transforms the sick
person spiritually first and then physically. In this
way both cause and effect are healed in the divine
love.”
Other teachers and guides from spirit such as
Silver Birch give the same message. In essence, they
say that every illness reflects a weakness which may
come from the present life’s astrological or
environmental influences, from the patients own
thinking, or inherited from another lifetime, which
we mentioned earlier in this article. The level on
which the weakness manifests (physical, mental,
emotional or spiritual) depends on each person’s stage
of development and experience, or spiritual maturity.
Behind every physical illness there lies a deeper and
higher meaning which we can discover very easily if we
meditate on it, even while we are ill. We can always
discover the true cause of an illness. Intuitives,
mediums and aura readers can sense and sometimes see
this; our guides know this too. Zen Tao, the guide
who helped the medium bring through the Ramala
teachings at Glastonbury had this to say on this
matter.
“You 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 respect the higher consciousness that
is your God, will respond to your demonstrations of
love …….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.”*
This is what Brother Mandus was also saying just
now.
