Purification Brings Healing

[QUOTING]

A mighty radiative plenitude emanating from the Spirit of the Universal Gnosis is touching us, is at our disposal. Is there any power you can compare with that? Is there any help you can compare with that? When, by accepting this process, the group becomes more and more conscious of this, it will be possible for any illness not related to the end of the journey through this earthly life to be healed in an increasingly direct and absolute way. So, do you not think it tragic that people sometimes seek help in all kinds of negative ways, whilst rejecting the help, sometimes in a shameful way?

True healing by the Spirit is now possible for subjugated and diseased mankind. But on one condition, framed in the familiar words: 'Go, and sin no more'.

The soul-state and its activities are fueled by the nerve-fluid, the nerve-ether and the other corresponding soul-fluids. Nerve-ether is nothing else than astral fire, received and inhaled by the mighty pineal organ and radiating throughout the bodily system. Via the pineal gland, in keeping with its quality, what has been inhaled and radiated throughout every part of the personality. The pineal gland and everything that pertains to it, is the most important part of the human organism. Even at birth it is already in a specific condition that corresponds to the state of the race, the family and the individual microcosmic past.

The pineal gland also has a radiation-field, the pineal aura. It  has a diameter of about fifty centimeters (nineteen inches). It is as a result of this radiation-field and its quality (a quality determined by the nucleus of the aura) that the nerve-ether is brought into its specific condition. Anything that is not in keeping with the nature and quality of the pineal aura simply does not enter the system; it cannot be inhaled by the pineal gland. The quality of the nerve-ether, which Paracelsus called the archaeus, determines, among other things, your state of health, your level of strength or weakness, any possible illnesses or tendencies towards ill-health, and also the nature and quality of your soul-state and its fluctuations.

So from the point-of-view of your Liberation it is wonderful -- and that is why the Spirit is such a benefactor of the Soul, as Hermes says -- that as long as you have not solved the great puzzle of your life, your difficulties will continue. That is why your soul-state is goaded on and on until you understand all the consequences of your suffering and strike at the root of them.

The pineal center is meant to be the point-of-contact, the point-of-entry and the dwelling-place of the Spirit. It was made for this purpose. The entire alchemical wedding of Christian Rosycross culminates in this. And now, driven onward by your soul-state, enabled by your soul-state, you must make the sacrifice of your whole self, in unconditional, total, self-surrender. Out of this sacrifice, a new soul-state will arise and the Spirit, that is, God, will then be able to touch you and stream into the archaeus.

When the Spirit touches you, it is the Holy Spirit, the healing Spirit, the divine physician. It is in response to the cry of the new Soul-state that the Spirit touches you and finds the pineal gland, the pineal aura and the archaeus in a certain condition. And immediately, you will experience an acute pain, a fierce anguish, an extreme tension. It is the sanctifying Spirit, burning through your being as a scorching fire, a fire of purification. But if one accepts this fire and is able to apply its results, one will, after the encounter with the Sanctifying Spirit, meet the Comforter, which means contact with the Spirit in a higher aspect. Before the Comforter can appear in you, the system must first be purified. That is why the Sanctifying Spirit comes before the great mercy of the Comforter.

That is why things like tranquilizers and various nerve-therapies are in fact not capable of solving your physical problems, and it would be foolish for the candidate-gnostic to think they could. Of course it is possible to tranquilize your nervous system with narcotics and various other remedies, and hence to influence your archaeus, against its nature, in your nervous system. But you should realize that by doing so you will simply be displacing your difficulties. You will be shifting the nature of your tensions, for instance, to other aspects of your light-vesture, such as the blood, the endocrine system or the serpent-fire or even to the "seven mirrors" in the head sanctuary., the seven 'weights', the seven cerebral cavities -- and that would be most fatal of all.

Let's us assume that the sanctifying Spirit does not withdraw from your system but is able to remain active within it. Then it will continue its work of purification in a different way. Your problems will continue to exist or, as is often the case, they will become even worse. But anyone who accepts this suffering so necessary for him, the fire of purification, with joy and understanding, on the basis of the new soul-state, will be relieved of his suffering in the shortest and most positive way possible.

What we are getting at now is that we are under an obligation to show you how, as a candidate, you can unleash the help of the Holy Spirit. Everyone needs that help; without it they are nothing and can do nothing, and suffering will continue to exist. So, if the sanctifying Spirit has begun its work in you and you have been stabbed by the sword of the Spirit -- as indeed has already happened or will soon happen in many of you, thanks be to God -- then wouldn't it be a great shame if, driven by anxiety, worry and fear, you were to stand in the way of the process?

Tranquility in your nerve-ether, the archaeus, and hence a more harmonious soul-state can only take shape in you when the sanctifying Spirit has really sanctified you, or is engaged in carrying out that merciful work. Therefore, experience your soul-state as the great benefactor of the human soul, even if you are having an extremely hard time. For the aim of the Good Daemon, the aim of the whole of the Creative, Original Nature as it is manifested in the true human Soul, is to make all human beings into immortal, transfigured beings, into human gods.

[END QUOTING]

Once one commits to opening the heart to the Gnosis, and sincerely begins to walk the the Path, physical maladies may begin to set in. This discomfort, as painful as it may be, should actually be welcomed, for it is proof that Spirit considers the candidate to be a suitable home and is therefore doing what any new homeowner would do...cleaning up the mess left by the old tenant!!

Our nature-born soul-state is a conglomerated mess, polluted by years of wrong-thinking and wrong-living. When we make the decision to surrender the self to the Gnosis, Spirit must first sanctify, or purify the human soul to an extent that will allow It to begin to take up residence. The divine Spirit cannot abide in a filthy temple. This is why Spirit does not come to meet us until we ourselves make the voluntary, intelligent decision to walk towards It.

Please note that effort is required on the part of the candidate. Smoking, drugs, alcohol and flesh-eating are habits that will definitely interfere with the process. These addictions, these habits of behavior must cease if one is serious about the Path. If one says "I can't", then one has chosen pleasure of the senses over the road to immortality. So be it.

For those who may be presently undergoing this temporary physical distress, and for those who may encounter it in the future, do not panic or despair. Don't run for the medicine cabinet or the pharmacy right off. A great purification is taking place within you. A Divine Fire is burning away the impacted dross of sin and error, with the aim of bringing your soul-state to a certain level of pristine tranquility. Suffer through the pain, if you can. It will be brought to an end as quickly and mercifully as possible. Health-wise, you will be left even better off than you were before.

This writer speaks from personal experience, which is why it can be said with all sincerity and truth, that the divine healing of the Seven-Spirit is real. Everything you have read above is what really happens when the firm decision is made to surrender the self and walk The Path of Return. Those who undergo this cleansing by Divine Fire should not be afraid, or despair in your suffering. Let it be known that you have been blessed beyond words, as you have offered a home to Spirit, and Spirit has accepted.

all love,
