Changes

Arista: Good afternoon students. (Group greetings.) We have talked about "Belonging" in our previous session. Today we will continue with this idea of belonging in your time, in your space—we are making this very [[personal]]—in your skin, in your body, in your [[mind]]. Re-owning the pieces of you who you’ve scattered amongst your environment, your [[relationships]], your friends, and your work. Yes, and even the things you’ve owned; the pieces you’ve placed on the things and in the things you’ve owned—your vehicles, your toys, your tools, your furniture, your domicile. If you feel scattered, it is time to "pick up your room," so to speak.

And how would you reclaim these pieces? Can you do it yourself? Do you recognize that you have placed part of yourself in the object? Your [[energy]] will come back to you by stating your [[intention]], as you have witnessed here with Dirk’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiki Reiki] treatment and the intention of this meeting. You can reclaim your pieces by stating your intention and following through with your [[prayer]]. Your [[steps]] upon the [[path]] of Father will become more certain and sure, as you claim your pieces. Your joy will become more complete, as you bring pieces back [[home]]; your love will be more fulfilling as you re-assemble, become stronger.

You may [[wonder]] how will this affect your [[relationships]], what will change? Will you be "all there?" [[Imagine]] yourself divided as you have found yourself on many occasions, trying to answer the phone, cook a meal, tend to the children, do a multitude of chores all at the same time. Would it not be wonderful to attend to each in it’s own turn with your full [[attention]] and your full love and [[care]]? Note too, that your sense of completion and fulfillment is enhanced as you re-assemble your pieces. You [[become]] "in the [[moment]]" with your Creator, step-by-step, hour-by-hour, and the gift you have assembled to present to your loved ones and friends is that which the Father intended, your whole being in attendance. Thank you students. I have completed my portion of the lesson today. (Group: Thank you Arista.)

I am inclined to deal with questions this afternoon. Have we questions?

Student: I’m brand new here, I’ve never been here before, but I have a question about mental illness. I guess I just want to know, when you have mental illness in the [[family]], is it true that you can be spiritually [[healed]] without harsh [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotropic psychotropic drugs]? I guess I want [[assurance]] that spiritual systems really are dominant over physical systems and I guess I’m looking for "[[hope]]" for a family member. I don’t know if it is really illness—I don’t know what it is—it’s stressful.

Rayson: I see, yes. These are the most difficult. Like any good program of help, it is [[necessary]] to clean up the [[animal]] part prior to close [[examination]] of that which is called "mental illness." Get the system operative with [pure] [[water]], and pure [[food]], energy, as you know. [[Stress]] is difficult; the combination of factors—previous experience, lack of love, fear—early on creating problems that enlarge, becoming endemic, systemic. It is as with the other [[medical]] problems, you do what you can with the environment and seek [[assistance]] with the other problems, sometimes psychotropic drugs, sometimes not.
