Life has many challenges, but the most important challenge of all is to heal yourself, to stay healed and to guard the sanctuary of your wholeness on earth - your four lower bodies. These envelopes of consciousness are the precincts of the mind, the heart, the soul and the spirit.
If you would heal yourself, you must scrutinize the higher and the lower facets of your being. Study the anatomy of selfishness, of pride and anger, and take note of how these traits manifest in yourself and others. Study the anatomy of your ego and your dweller-on-the-threshold, either of which may thrust through to manhandle your soul in an unguarded moment.
Oh, how much karma one can make in a day and a night by allowing his dweller-on-the-threshold to roar and rumble through his being unrestrained! The dweller bides his time, sometimes for decades or even centuries, until he catches his victim - the soul - off guard.
You see, the dweller (also referred to as the Not Self, or the Shadowed Self) has endless patience as he lies in wait for the moment when the soul is asleep. Then he lunges forward, ripping through the lifestream, stealing from the soul the light she has garnered over a lifetime and more.
James wrote to the early Christians about resisting the temptations of what we would call the dweller-on-the-threshold:
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God, for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.8
The gift of healing is not easily given. If it were, I tell you, beloved, you would know not one but many Christs in the earth who would walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Yet even Jesus, when he returned to Nazareth, was rejected in the synagogue by his own countrymen, who said: "Whence hath this man this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son?"
The powers that be were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and in his own house." Therefore it is written: "And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief."9
Now, you may desire to be healed or to be healers, but you may have lurking doubts and nonbelief in your ability to be healed or to be an instrument of God's healing. And so I must tell you that nonbelievers do not have the vessels of mind and heart whereby they might receive God's healing power and allow it to flow through them for the healing of others.
I would also tell you that there is potentially far greater healing power flowing from your Mighty I AM Presence through the chakras of your hands and through your heart chakra than modern science could deliver, using all the medicaments in the world.
When it comes to medicine, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. For some laymen who have but superficial knowledge in the field of medicine are pandering so-called miracle products that they claim will heal all your diseases.
Well, not only will 95 percent of these products not heal the core conditions of your diseases but some may even introduce into your system unknown toxins. Indeed, they may leave you thinking that you are better off when in fact you may be worse off for having taken them.
Now, this is not to discredit responsible medical practitioners. If the healing substances they offer you are able to partially heal you or to extend your life, then you must laud the scientists whose research made this possible, always giving the gratitude and the glory to Divine Providence.
And I am certain Keepers of the Flame will recognize the hand of the Ascended Master Saint Germain in this alchemy of healing. For it is indeed the Wonderman of Europe who has advanced the cause of medical science and even pioneered drugs that increase longevity.
Although healings do take place through medical science, the truth is that the scientific world knows neither the causes nor the cures of most diseases. Modern medicine uses drugs to alleviate the symptoms of disease, but most people are never truly healed of the core conditions, which they carry vibrationally in and about their spirit.
In actuality, one's spirit governs one's health. If the spirit is morose, the body will follow suit. And the morose spirit will magnetize other morose spirits, reinforcing the person's weakened state until a host of mental, emotional and finally physical diseases may result.
Conditions of the spirit are difficult to treat. In fact, they defy treatment. But if they are not treated, they can become a plague upon a man's house. Ultimately his only recourse will be exorcism by the Lord Jesus Christ or his saints.
If, for example, a person carries a spirit of anger left over from past lives, he must neutralize that spirit by invoking the power of Jesus Christ to come into his temple to bind and cast out that spirit.
Happy is the man who entertains a perpetual spirit of joy, for his spirit is like the sun shining at its zenith. He will know health, happiness and prosperity and he will attract to himself, and forever entertain, spirits of joy.
The core condition of your spirit is focused in your etheric body. That core condition determines the vibrancy of your health and is the wellspring of your life. It is the source material you have to work with in the healing of your four lower bodies.
In order to heal the physical body, you need to heal the etheric, mental and desire bodies - all of which leave their imprint on the physical body.
The apostle Paul gives us the key whereby every man may establish perpetual harmony in his spirit and thus in his core condition:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.10
These are the words of everlasting life that spring from the fount of each one's being. Paul teaches us that by maintaining a perpetual positive mental and emotional attitude we can be made whole through the Spirit of the Lord's harmony itself. There is no greater medicine than this.
If your spirit has the determination to raise up your soul to the level of the Christ consciousness, all of the chemical elements of your being will "climb the ladder of the DNA chain" even as the fragments of your soul are climbing Jacob's ladder in their desire for wholeness.
This process is a spiritual one. We examine it in metaphor, yet it is a reality that takes place within the etheric sheath as the components of spirit and soul reunite with the source of Being.
The goal is to raise up vibrationally every part and particle of your being as if you were using a spiritual tuning fork and drawing all elements of self to the plane of immortal being where they would resonate with the harmony of God. Going through these steps and stages of transcendence is a part of the ascension process and the soul's weaving of the deathless solar body.
In the next century, the healing of the etheric, the mental and the desire bodies of the race will be a far greater challenge to modern science than even the healing of the physical body.
But for the Holy Spirit's intervention and a spiritualization of consciousness among practitioners of mental health, the current practices of psychiatry and psychology will not be able to restore wholeness within the finer bodies of man, and this absence of wholeness will be reflected in the physical body.
Transmutation by the sacred fire - and specifically by the violet flame, the Seventh Ray aspect of the Holy Spirit - will provide the keys to healing in the Aquarian age. Those who accept this method of self-healing and practice it daily will achieve a certain level of wholeness even while they transmute a healthy bundle of their karma.
Those who do not accept this method of self-healing, and therefore do not practice it, will not achieve a certain level of wholeness and will not transmute a healthy bundle of their karma.
The Law is the Law, beloved, and it is exact and exacting.
Nevertheless, I, Gabriel, come before those who have recently made the transition from this world to the next, specifically those who have rejected this method of self-healing. In the hour of their souls' passing from the screen of life, I appear to them and I take them to a number of healing retreats of the Brotherhood, such as Archangel Raphael and Mother Mary's Retreat at Fátima, Portugal.
There they observe souls at various levels of advancement on the path of everlasting life - all of whom are invoking the sacred fire and the violet flame commensurate with their need to do penance for their past misdeeds.
Upon observing the devotion of these souls, the naysayers hang their heads in shame for having rejected the Brotherhood's tried-and-true method of invoking the sacred fire and the violet flame. And on the spot they vow to make amends.
As a result of not having chosen the "better way," they are confronted with the reality that they have not balanced enough karma to graduate from earth's schoolroom.
Will they be obliged to reenter earth's schoolroom once, twice, three times or more in order to balance 51 percent of their karma - the required amount that will tip the scales for their ascension?
Or will the prior merit of their lifestreams stand them in such good stead that the Lords of Karma will allow them to balance their remaining karma in the etheric retreats?
