HEALING

September 24th, 1916

I am here, Jesus.

    I have been with you a great deal to-day and know just what have been the workings of your mind.  I tried to influence you, as to some of your thoughts.  I was with you at church in the morning, heard the minister's sermon and saw that he did not rightly comprehend the meaning of the words of the text.  "Verily, verily, I say unto you.  He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."  "If ye shall ask anything in my name I will do it."

    His explanation of what was meant by "greater works than I do," was not in accord with what I meant.  Or, with the meaning that I intended to convey.  For when I referred to works, I meant those works, which the world considered as miracles.  I intended to assure my disciples that they would have power to do similar works, or perform similar miracles, to a greater extent, than I had performed them. "Greater" referred to quantity and not to quality.

    This power, or the successful exercise of it, was not dependent upon belief in my name.  But upon their Faith in the Power of the Father.  In the fact that He would confer upon them that Power.  There was no virtue in my name, or in me, as the individual, Jesus.  All virtue rested in the Faith that they might have in The Father.  I never performed any of the so-called miracles of my own self.  They were all performed by the Father, working through me.  Just as He worked through me, He would work through my disciples, who should acquire the necessary Faith.  As I have told you before, all acts, that are apparently miracles, are controlled by Law.  Just as are those things which you call the workings of nature, controlled by Law.  When sufficient Faith is acquired, there comes to its possessor, a Knowledge of these Laws.  It may not be, as you would say, a Knowledge, or Consciousness, that is perceptible to the ordinary senses of human, but perceptible to that Inner Sense.  Which is the one that enables humans to comprehend the things of the spirit.   Having this Knowledge, of the Inner Sense, humans may so control these Laws, that they will work those effects, which seem to be contrary to the accustomed workings of the Laws of Nature.  Until my disciples had acquired this Faith, that brought to their inner sense, this Knowledge, they could perform no miracle, do no work of phenomenon, that other humans could not do.

    The Bible expression, that belief in my name is sufficient to cause the workings of miracles is all wrong.  I never said that such belief was what was required.  Neither did I say, "that whatsoever should be asked of the Father in my name would be given to humans."

    I was not a part of the Godhead.  I had not, of myself, any power.  Neither did my name have any miraculous influence with the Father.  I was a human, as other humans are humans.  Only, I had become filled with the Divine Love of the Father, which made me At-One with Him. Consequently, had that Knowledge of His Divine Love and Laws, that enabled me to bring into operation those Laws, that would cause the desired effects to appear as realities.

    Belief in my name caused no working of these Laws.  Or, the response of the Father to any supplications.  Prayer must be made to The Father in the name of Truth, to His Love and Mercy.  Every individual is dear to Him.  He is ready to bestow this Divine Love upon every one who asks, in Faith and pure desire.  In response to the earnest prayer, will come Divine Love.  With It, Knowledge of things spiritual.  With this, Power that may be used for the good of humankind.

    My name is not a mediator between God and human.   Neither is belief in one, the Jesus, a means to reach the responsive Soul of the Father.  If humans will understand my teachings of Truth, when they ask in my name, mean that they ask in the name of these Truths, then such askings will have its results.  But so few humans, when they pray to the Father in my name, have such intention, or understanding.  Only a Knowledge of the Truth of the Plan for Human's Salvation, will enable them to seek, in the right way, to obtain the Gift of the Father.  When I say Knowledge of the Truth of the Plan, I do not mean that humans shall understand all the minutiae of This Plan.  How one element, or part of it, may operate upon another and what results may flow therefrom.  But that Knowledge must be sufficient in the beginning, which shows to human, that The Father is a God of Love, that this Divine Love may be obtained by human through earnest prayer for Its bestowal. This is all that is necessary.  For the response that will follow, will cause the New Birth.  Which when experienced by a human, will place them in that Unison with The Father, that will lead to a Knowledge, of the other Truths, that form a part of the Plan of Salvation.  There is nothing else that will bring about this Knowledge of that Inner Sense of which I write.  A knowledge of the mind, except in conjunction with this Inner Knowledge, can never bring about this necessary At-Onement with The Father.  It often exists that a human will have this Inner Knowledge and at the same time have a knowledge of the mind which is wholly at variance with the Truths of the Plan for their Salvation.  The mind of human, being a thing of wonderful power, can for a time, retard the growth of the Knowledge of the Inner Sense.  Or, as I will say, the soul sense.  But only for a time.  For at some time, the soul sense, will progress to that Knowledge of the Truth, so that the erroneous mind knowledge will entirely disappear and human will possess only the Truth.

    Of this erroneous mind knowledge, or, perhaps rather, conviction, is the belief that in my name.  That is; supplications made in my name, will bring about the realization of the desires of the supplicant.  Also that in my blood, or in the power of the cross, or in my alleged vicarious atonement, the salvation of humans can be obtained.  If any name must be used in human's supplication, then use only the Name of The Father.  For His is a Name, High over all.  The only Name in Heaven, or earth, that can bring to human salvation and At-Onement with His Being.

    What I have said, applies to many other declarations contained in the Bible.  Such as, "he that believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved."  "There is no other name under heaven whereby humans can be saved", etc.  This is the enunciation of a false doctrine, misleading to the great majority of humankind.  For they accept the declarations as literally true.  Of course if it be interpreted as meaning that they that believeth on the Truths that I teach, then the objection is not so great.  Even then, the declarations do not go far enough.  For humans may believe in these Truths and that belief may be a mere mental one, acquiesced in, merely by the mind's faculties, without any exercise at all of the soul sense.  If to all these declarations shall be added the vital Truth, that "except a human be born again, they cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven," and to this mental belief be added the soul's Faith, then the doctrines will be truly stated.  Humans will understand what is necessary to salvation.

    Belief and Faith are not the same.  One is of the mind, the other of the soul.  One can and does change, as phenomena and apparent facts change.  The other, when truly possessed, never changes.  For Faith possessed by a soul, causes all the longings and aspirations of that soul, to become things of real existence.  Which, like the house that is built upon the solid rock, can never be shaken or destroyed.

    I write thus to-night, to show that the preacher in his sermon did not explain the true meaning of the text.  Did not comprehend the Truths, that were intended to be conveyed, of which the text was susceptible.  Though it did not set forth my expressions, or in its literal interpretation, declare the Truth.

    I will not write more now except to say, that I love you with a great love and pray to The Father to Bless you.

    Believe in The Father and trust me.  For you will not be disappointed.  Pray that this Divine Love of The Father shall come into your soul, so that you shall know that you are an accepted child of the Father.

    Keep up your courage and have Faith, that whatsoever things you shall ask The Father in the name of His Love and Truth shall be given to you.  I am with you in all my love and care, you will not be forsaken.

So my dear brother, rest assured that I am your brother and friend, Jesus

Angelic Revelations of Divine Truth, Vol. I, pg. 364.

May 16th, 1916.

I am here, Jesus.

    I will not write a formal message tonight.  Will merely tell you that I was with you tonight at the home of Mr. Morgan and wrote what you received, as purporting to come from me.  I meant that if I could establish the rapport with him, I would cure him.  So I will.  It depends somewhat on his having the necessary concentration and belief in me.

    It may seem strange that I cannot do this unless this rapport is established, but it is a fact.  There are certain Laws, which control the exercise of this power upon mortals, which must be complied with.  When on earth I could come in direct contact with the mortal, by reason of my being in the flesh.  As the power was in me, or could be engendered in me, by the exercise of my spiritual powers, I encountered no obstacle in the way of my exercising these powers upon the mortal.  But now there is no direct contact between me and the mortal.  Hence there is no means of communicating this power to them until a rapport is established.  This rapport is something more than a mere "spiritual" connection.  Partakes somewhat of the material, though we are not of the material.  Yet the rapport must be of the nature mentioned.  The material part of it must come from the mortal themself.

    Now you will understand, that my relationship in such cases with the mortal, is very different from what would be your relationship to them, had you this power residing in you.  When the time comes for you to receive this power, you will not need to establish any rapport between you and whomever you may be able to cure.  I mean it will not be necessary for this rapport to be established by drawing from the mortal any part of the material that belongs to them.  This you will have yourself.  The power will be exercised by you, simply as a mortal coming in contact with them.  This power can be possessed by mortals, just as my disciples and others possessed it at the time that I was on earth.  The same results may be obtained as were obtained in those days.

    Well, the power that was manifested in you, was somewhat of the nature that I have been speaking of.  Only it was a power borrowed, or conferred upon you by a spirit. It was a part of this spirit's power.  Thereby, differing from that which you will receive as a part of your own self, when you shall have had that soul development and possession of the Divine Love, which are necessary prerequisites to any mortal, or spirit either, being able to receive the power.

    The spirit who was trying to manifest through you and help Mr. Morgan, was your own Indian guide (White Eagle). Who is a very powerful spirit.  He drew on you very hard for the material that was necessary for him to make the manifestation.  The power which he transmitted will help Mr. Morgan and he will realize it by morning.  If you had continued for a while longer, its effects would have become seen before you left him.

    I will try tonight, as I promised, to help him.  If we can form the rapport that I speak of, there will be no uncertainty as to the results.  I will give especial attention to his case, as I desire to demonstrate to him that the power of the spirit world, when properly exercised, can be used to help mortals, even in their physical ills, to relieve them from their sufferings.  I see that he has a very considerable Faith and will make the effort to help establish this rapport.  We may succeed.  At any rate, you have already helped him.  He will realize it.

    I will come to you soon and write you another message on an important subject, so that you may see the necessity for our working faster.

    I will not write more, but will say that I love you and am with you, trying to help you.  So, with my blessings, I will say good-night.

Your brother and friend, Jesus

I am here, Francis Bacon.

    I have been with you tonight as you have read and was somewhat interested in what James Hyslop had to say in his article on Christianity and Spiritualism.  Many things that he puts forth are true.  And explain very satisfactorily why many of the miracles, so called, of the Bible, may be believed.  As he says, they are not different in the nature of their operations, or in the exercise of the Law that produced them, from the physical phenomena which are manifesting themselves at this time among the investigators of Spiritualism.  If today, the same Law, in its force that was brought into operation by Jesus and the disciples, could be called into operation, the same, or similar phenomena would be produced.  Of course, a great deal depends upon the medium and the amount of rapport that may be created by the communicating, or rather operating spirit.  For it must be understood, that all the supposed miracles were the results of the work of spirits.  Who, by reason of the Harmony existing between themselves and the mortals, were able to call into operation the Laws, which were necessary to produce the results, called miracles.

    At the present time, there may not be persons who have sufficient development of these psychic powers, which were possessed by Jesus and the others, to produce such phenomena as they produced.  There have been many mortals, since his time, sufficiently gifted with these powers to cause manifestations very similar to those of the primitive Christian times.  Especially as regards healing and the like.  Today much healing is being performed by mortals.  Which is attributed to various causes, such as mental healing and faith cures, but which is really due to the exercise of spirit powers by spirits, whose duties are to perform that kind of work.

    Mortals, of themselves, cannot bring into operation any of these Laws, either of mind, or soul, but are dependent upon the cooperation of spirits, who use some of the properties possessed by these mortals to bring into exercise the Laws, which only can produce the healing.

    Here I desire to state, that it is not necessary that the mortal be of a highly spiritual development in order that the powers of the spirit world may effect and change the conditions of the material of earth.  For the Laws which control the material are sufficient, ordinarily, to bring about the healing of the physical, or mental diseases of humans. Therefore, you will find many mediums and others not recognized as mediums, having this power of healing.

    The healing of the body and the healing of the soul require the workings of different Laws.  While spirits not having very much soul development, may successfully cooperate with mortals in like condition, in healing bodily ills, yet such spirits are impotent to heal the diseased soul, or the purely spiritual condition of humans.  But spirits who have the power to produce the latter healing, may also heal the body.  This you must know, that no spirit, who is not what may be called, physically whole, or sound, can cause the healing of a physically diseased mortal.  For power of this kind can be possessed by and proceed from only those spirits, who in their material nature are perfectly healthy and sound.  These spirits, while they have cast off the gross physical material of the mortal, yet are still material, so far as the spirit body, form, and the properties which compose the same, are concerned.

    The material of the Universe is not confined to, or entirely comprised in, what mortals may suppose to be the only material.  That is that which may be sensed by their five senses, or some of them.  What is of itself material, is always material, no matter what form it may assume. Whether visible, or invisible, to mortals.  The larger portion of the material of the Universe is in the invisible world. Though subject to transformation into the visible and retransformation into the invisible.  The Laws governing and controlling the material are the same, whether that material be, to humans, visible and knowable, or not.

    This material has its quality of persistence after supposed death, or destruction.  Although, the form of its manifestation be changed.  From this, you will see that they who are known as the materialists, with their supposed want of belief in immortality, or the continuity of existence, is in error, even as to the material world of which they assume to have special knowledge.  Being in error as to this, how can they claim to be right, when they assert that the purely spiritual has no possibility of continuity of existence, or as some understand, immortality.

    Well, I have written enough and feel that you will pardon my intrusion, but I also feel somewhat justified in writing as I have done.

With best wishes.  I am, your friend Francis Bacon

February 15th, 1915. 

I am here, White Eagle:

    You are much better.  The Master helped you very much last night.  I manipulated you as he directed.  Your digestive organs are now doing their work.  Your prayer to the Father was answered.  He heard you as Jesus told you He would, if you would pray in Faith.  You had the Faith and the cure came.

    So it is with everything in life.  Only pray and believe and you will receive the answer.  You are certainly blessed.  I wonder, as do all of us, at your Faith.  But thank God, you are the one that the Master has selected.  You will be in condition soon to do his work as he desires. 

    Yes, you are right, He is the only one that can help you in time of trouble.  Only continue in your Faith and you will realize that He is your Father and your Helper.  Jesus says that your Faith is wonderful, and that you will be able to do many things that will help humankind.  Only be true to him and you will never be forsaken. 

    No, you need not use any more medicine now.  The work is done and medicine is no more necessary. 

    Well, he (Dr Stone) may help you some in starting your various muscles and nerves to get into activity, but even his treatment is not necessary now.  When God Heals, He Heals effectively.  No other help is needed. 

    You are commencing to get that Great Love in your soul now.  Soon you will be filled.  Then your happiness will be complete.  That is, it will be of such a character that the worries of life will not make you unhappy. 

    Yes, he (Jesus) was present.  He directed my movements.  He is the all powerful one.  His Knowledge is without limit.  He is so full of Divine Love, that when he tries to impress you, you cannot resist the influence of that Divine Love.  So be more prayerful and you will become possessed of that Divine Love to a degree that will make you love all humankind, as well as God.  Well, I am telling you what the Master tells us and he knows.  You had better not eat promiscuously yet, give the digestive organs a chance to get back their full strength. 

So good night.

I am here, Lazarus.

    I was the one whom Jesus called from the grave.  I merely want to say that I was not dead when I was resurrected, but had on me the sleep of death.  I was not entirely a spirit separated from my body.  I know this, because if I had been a wholly separated spirit, Jesus could not have brought me to life again.  No spirit, once entirely liberated from the body, can ever return to it and reanimate the body.  I know the Bible says, or the inference from what it says, is that I was dead, but this is not true as I have above stated.

    I am now in the Celestial Heavens in a sphere that is not numbered, but very near those in which the disciples live.  My sisters are also in the Celestial Heavens.  We all believed in the teachings of the Master.  Consequently, became imbued with his doctrine of the necessity for the Divine Love to come into our souls.  While on earth Jesus did teach us that God had again bestowed on human this Divine Love and we believed it.  I know that the disciples were taught this same doctrine.  Just how far they understood this teaching I do not know.  It is strange and they did not declare it in their Gospels, but such seems to be the fact.  It is unaccountable why this important Truth was not preserved and taught in their writings.  I know that it is the Truth and that only those who have received this Divine Love in their hearts can become inhabitants of the Celestial Heavens.  Humans may refuse to believe this Great Truth if they will, and think that by attending church and worshipping God in their service with their lips, they will be able to enter the Kingdom, but they will find themselves mistaken.  So in your teachings, let this Great Truth be the cornerstone of whatever you may teach.

    I am supremely happy and want all humankind to be so.  I came to you to inform you of these Truths, so that my testimony may be added to that of those who may have written to you.

    Jesus is in the spiritual world working to teach humans and spirits his Truths.  He comes to you and writes and you must believe the fact, for it is a fact.

I must stop now, so I will say Good night.  Lazarus
