Tomas (Gerdean TR): We are your teachers, good morning. We are going back again to the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it in as much as he is our best example, our prime inspiration, as to how to reflect the character of a son of God in your daily dealings. Jesus asked his apostles to reflect the love of the Father when he asked them to live their lives as if they had lived with him and knew his love intimately.

Anyone who has been embraced by the master knows the sublimity of his touch, the combined power and grace of his personality. Those of you who are aware of your divine nature and have begun to appreciate, understand, and take command of your material, corporeal self and your mind have attained to a degree the understanding that was put forth when he walked and talked and when he spoke. All of the apostles had qualities they admired about the master, and each one of you has qualities that you regard as especially valuable in your fellows. In most instances your fellows and yourselves have developed a working understanding of your own qualities such that you manifest your strengths and try to hide or underplay your less desirable qualities, your assessment of your behavior based upon how you fit in your world, the life you live in your day and age as Jesus and the original apostles lived in theirs.

Jessona (Gerdean): This is your "brethren" Jessona. I understood there was a question.

Tom: In studying the various healing practices of different nationalities I was looking for the common denominator, since some practices seem contradictory. I noticed that in voodoo the trance-like state was similar to stillness. The discussion of chakras is often accompanied by meditative postures. Some seem distasteful to me, but I don't want that to interfere with understanding the healing principles behind them. Could you comment?

I will remind you also of the teaching that miracles in this context are discouraged. Belief in miracles in this context is discouraged, for although miracles happen they happen so seldom as to allow it to be a challenge for you and your faith and your growing experience to work within the framework that we have to work within in the parameters of the arena in which we find ourselves. "Physician heal thyself" in many cases is all that is necessary. As was said, your science has evolved to the point where you are highly advanced in many of your medical skills and abilities.

As you leave here, as you ascend through the mansion worlds, you diminish your animal nature. That will eliminate many of your emotional and mental illnesses, for the effects of physical illness that you carried around with you in the flesh. In time however, you will find yourself having risen up from the vicissitudes of the material existence and able to embrace full, radiant health in good faith. In the meantime your faith can go a long way toward ameliorating the physical and temporary distresses of the material life.
