Lesson Five From The Holy Spirit:
Healing The Soul And The Environment Of The Soul:
Building Community Through Spiritual Mastery
By Elizabeth Clare Prophet
LECTURE TRANSCRIPT
Bold = Lecture notes
In this fifth lesson of the Holy Spirit I would like to take up the theme of our conference. And I would like to speak on healing the soul and the environment of the soul. I think you know that you have a soul and I think you know that the residing place in the body temple is the seat-of-the-soul chakra. You also know that the soul is mutable, which means it is nonpermanent until it is made immutable by your oneness with your Holy Christ Self. So I have titled this lecture “Healing the Soul and the Environment of the Soul: Building Community through Spiritual Mastery.”
The soul, then, is like the dot in the center of a pearl. The environment of the soul is what you create for your soul. You can think of your soul as your inner child. You can think of your soul as a sage, a wondrous manifestation of yourself that is becoming, even as you are becoming, that perfected being.
So we are drawing down our Causal Bodies and the rings of our Causal Body, the mighty spheres around our four lower bodies here. We are attempting to build and increase the energies of each of the rays and the five secret rays in the center.
And so my focus on healing the soul and its environment today is the gift of healing, the gift of healing itself from the Holy Spirit. Peripherally we will talk about other gifts. But what I am concerned with today is your freedom, your declaration of freedom on this July Fourth, that you have the right to heal your soul, to heal your soul and to be the instrument of the Maha Chohan’s healing of your soul.
So I take these lessons on healing again from the Old and New Testaments, from the example of Moses, the prophets, Jesus and the apostles. The requirements for you to be an instrument of healing, to be a healer, are the same as the requirements for receiving the Holy Spirit. As we have said, they are to uphold the spirit and the letter of the Ten Commandments and to follow the stipulations for Christ’s community that Jesus gave in his Sermon on the Mount.
After the Lord gave the children of Israel the Ten Commandments, he promised them that he would send them an angel to protect them and that he would heal their sickness if they would serve and obey the Lord. The presence of the Seven Archangels are constantly figuring in the Old Testament. Each time the prophets make pronouncements as they speak out to the seed of the Wicked One, as they speak out to the children of Israel who are stiff-necked and stubborn in many cases, it is always an Archangel who is speaking the Word of God through Moses.
When Moses looked at the burning bush, he saw an angel in that bush and that angel was the Archangel Michael. And so it was the Lord God, I AM THAT I AM, but it was Archangel Michael as his representative.
So the Lord said to the children of Israel, “Behold, I send an Angel before thee.” This is you. You are the children of Israel. [Messenger gives instructions to A.V. personnel.] “Behold, I send an Angel before thee to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him.” Why did God say “beware of him”? Because angels, Archangels are all-powerful. They have existed for eternity.
“Obey his voice, provoke him not. For he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.” Remember we have gone all through the concept of the name of God actually being God in manifestation. He will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him. The Lord then warned the Israelites not to serve false gods. He said, “Serve the Lord your God and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water.” This was a very important blessing, for without bread and water the Israelites could not continue in the wilderness.
“And I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” That is a promise of God to us for all time. “I will take away sickness from the midst of thee.” I want you to get at the core reason why you do not cast your mel, mental and physical illnesses into the sacred fire. Are they a crutch? Do you use them to control this one or that one?
I met an old school friend a few years ago who’s very ill. I went to school with this person from kindergarten through high school. And this person finally admitted to me that the reason that they kept their infirmities was to control their spouse. This was such a tragic thing to me, so tragic in my heart, that someone who actually was a counselor, is a counselor in the public schools, counseling children who have serious problems, could say this. And I think this pert, this person said it to me because I was so insistent in expressing my desire to help that one recover from illnesses.
It is shocking to me when people know they are being intellectually dishonest, emotionally dishonest because of factors of control, factors of control. So when you go through the levels of consciousness of your being, see to it that you are not hanging on to infirmities of any kind whatsoever in your four lower bodies for psychological reasons, for fragmented reasons, fragmentation of your own human personality.
I want you to know on this final day of our conference that you can walk out of this tent free and out of this Heart free or you can be just as bound as you were when you arrived. It is up to you. Listen for the keys that I give you now from scriptures. If you really want to be whole, you will be whole and no infirmity will stop you from your mission, no fragmented part or self, because your determination and your love of God and the will of God and your profound gratitude for what the Ascended Masters have done for you will be your freedom and will be your victory. Please think about this deeply. You do not have to be sick at any level of your being unless you accept that sickness and you want it for some reason.
The Lord said, “I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” Accept the promise. Say it with me. “Lord, I accept the promise that you will take sickness away from the midst of me.”
After leaving Egypt and crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites traveled for three days in the wilderness without finding drinkable water. The only water available was so bitter they could not drink it. The Lord, the Mighty I AM Presence, showed Moses a tree, and when he cast it into the water the water was made sweet. And there God made an ordinance and said, If—just remember, God always has his provisos. Here is the if. You have to accept the if because it goes with the consequence of your freedom.
“If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.” “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” (given 2 times)
Solomon advised his sons as it is written in Proverbs that obedience to the words of God would assure their health. Get right with God, you’ll have good health. “Attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
Just reading the sacred scriptures anywhere you open the Bible brings you to the promises of God. Enter them in faith and let go. Just let go.
In order to be healed, we need to understand the causes of our diseases. The prophets taught that sickness was caused by a violation of the laws of God. Ecclesiastes bluntly stated the law of karma and the pitfalls of negative karma when he said, “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it.” In other words, he who digs a pit for someone else to fall into will end up falling into it himself.
The Lord through the prophet Micah railed against Israel because of their sins and warned them of their impending karma. God is warning us every day. He’s warning us when we start feeling there’s something not quite well with us, something not quite right in our bodies. But we are so dense in our bodies that we don’t pay attention to the signs and signals and we awaken one day with a verdict: terminal, terminal. The body will be terminated because you are not right with God and not sensitive, not sensitive to what you should be eating and wh, what you should not be eating, how you should use the sacred fire of all of your chakras, conserving that light and giving of yourself to others.
What was their impending karma? “The Lordno “s” after Lord heard on tape, per FM. voice crieth unto the city [Jerusalem]: The rich men thereof are full of violence and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.”
Nevertheless, the Lord promised to forgive even the worst of sinners who would turn back to him. Micah says, “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? You retaineth not your anger forever, because you delight in mercy. You will turn again, you will have compassion upon us. You will subdue our iniquities; and wilt cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.”
Jesus healed many. But he also warned them, “Go and sin no more.” Once sin is forgiven and healing takes place, you must not sin again, for as Jesus said a worse thing will come upon you. When Jesus casts out the negative consciousness in us, we must fill the void with a positive presence of the Christ.
When Jesus saved the woman being stoned who had been taken in adultery, he told her that he did not condemn her but he warned her, “Go, and sin no more.” He said to the man he healed at the pool of Bethesda, “Behold, thou art made whole. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.”
We must give accounting for the healings of God. We must not take them for granted. We must realize what a profound blessing it is to have either balanced our karma or to have our karma lifted from us by divine intercession. Many of you do not even realize how the Masters come together for you, how they give their life and energy to you, how they heal you of diseases you never knew you had incipient in your bodies.
This is what a Guru-chela or Master-disciple relationship means with the Ascended Masters. We give our energy and service in making things happen in this world for them because we have hands and feet and bodies and we can speak and we can be heard whereas the people do not see or heal, hear or feel the Ascended Masters. The Ascended Masters always accept our giving of gifts and they always repay. They always repay.
Take Saint Germain, for instance. Everything you do for him he graciously conveys back to you a favor, a certain assistance when we are in those predicaments when we are subject to the rulers of this world, the regulators of this world, and we don’t know how to get out of a very tough situation. And all of a sudden the problem disintegrates and it comes along so effortlessly and so naturally that we sometimes forget that it is our divine intercessors, the Ascended Masters, who are helping us. Every Ascended Master comes back with blessings when we serve.
We come, then, to pride, pride as an obstacle to healing. In Isaiah 57 we read, “Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones….I have seen his ways, and will heal him.”
Naaman the leper had to overcome his pride before he could be healed. Consider for a moment when and where was the last time you bumped into your pride. It doesn’t take very long to think when that was, does it? [responses] Naaman was captain of the host of the king of Syria. He was a very important man. The servant of Naaman wife’s, the servant of Naaman’s wife told her mistress that there was a prophet in Samaria who could heal her husband.
“So Naaman came with his horses and his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.” But Elisha didn’t come out. “Elisha sent a messenger to him, a lowly messenger, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee and thou shalt be made clean. But Naaman was wroth and went away and said, Behold, I thought, he will surely, he will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of his Lord and strike his hand over the place and recover the leper. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
“And his servants came near and spake unto him, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? Then went Naaman down and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God. And his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” Let us humble ourselves.
Naaman offered Elisha a present, but the prophet of God refused to take it. But Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, said to himself, “Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.”
Gehazi lied to Naaman and said that Elisha was requesting two talents of silver and two changes of garments for two young men of the sons of the prophets. Naamann gladly conceded. When Gehazi returned, Elisha asked where he had been. “Your servant has not been anywhere,” he replied. But Elisha knew exactly what he had been up to and said, “The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And Gehazi went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.”
This is the harshness of the descent of karma in the age of Aries. It is not absent from our time and our day. Sometimes major calamities come upon us and it has to do with many cycles of many lifetimes back and back and back on Atlantis, back to Lemuria. Thousands of years later the karma falls due and it comes upon us and then, as one of our speakers said, “Why me?” The answer to “Why me?” is always right there. It’s karma. Look for what it was, atone for sin, give community service, purge yourself and truly do a penance that enables you to be free from that karma as soon as you can spend enough time voking, invoking the violet flame and transmuting it.
We read, then, in the books of Numbers, Proverbs and Psalms that the misuse of the spoken word can cause illness. How true it is, a spoken word of anger or rage or condemnation or gossip. Proverbs says, “There are some whose thoughtless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Each time I use the word healing in this lecture, please remember the word wholeness. When you are healed, you are whole. “He keeps his life who guards his mouth. He who talks too much is lost.” I am very happy that I’ve lived on the earth in this lifetime as long as I have because I have learned how much karma I could make with my mouth, [laughter] plenty of karma. So I take my instruction from El Morya and I am less talkative than I was in my younger days.
Psalm 50 reads, “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me. And to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.” Think of this. This is your power center. This is all the power you have for your whole physical body. Misuse it and the moment you’ve misused it that misuse of that throat chakra comes right back upon you and rests in your organs and causes the heaviness and the weight. That’s the most powerful chakra there is. And that’s why it’s the chakra we make the most karma with.
The bitter complaints of the Israelites brought sickness upon them. It brings sickness upon any of us when we bitterly complain instead of praising God. When the Israelites were in the wilderness, they became discouraged and spoke against God and against Moses. How bad can you get, to think that you have the right to condemn and speak against God and his messenger? “The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people” and many died. You know, you can have a body with a heart that’s beating but you can be dead inside and you can feel dead inside.
“Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against thee. Pray unto the Lord that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people and God instructed him to make a serpent of brass and set it on a pole. God promised, “Every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”
Mark used to love to give this teaching on this brazen serpent because it was a visualization of the caduceus, the rising of the sacred fire from the base chakra to the crown chakra. And so in looking upon this serpent they would see the energy coil around the pole and we have the two wings at the top. It has become the symbol of the medical profession. But looking at the energy rising, looking at the freedom of the wings where that is anchored in the third eye, it was the visualization, the use of their own third eye contacting the anchoring of the caduceus in the third eye as it was carved in brass.
Next we come to another major obstacle to healing—doubt, doubt. In all the years that I have seen students of the Ascended Masters come and sometimes go, I have seen that doubt is the most insidious, the most insidious almost of all negatives that one can carry around with one’s self. You don’t have to buy the idea that your doubts came from parents who were not responsible toward you, who abandoned you, who did all these kinds of things to you and so you could not trust them and so now you doubt everyone and everything.
I’ve had many people tell me that they doubt me. And I always tell them, “Your doubt is your own and your doubt is your problem, not mine.” That’s really true. It’s not my problem. I deliver the Word of God and if people don’t accept that Word because they have doubts and their doubts center upon me, they need to start studying some of these wonderful books and therapists that we, we have had as guests here to find where the core and seed of doubt is.
When you have doubt, you can accomplish nothing. If you doubt yourself and you know that you doubt yourself, you can go about healing yourself. But if you think it’s everybody else’s problem that you are doubting, you have not even begun the path of transmutation of the momentums of doubt.
Faith is a chalice for healing. And as you know, it is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Doubt is a perversion of faith. Jeremiah told the people that their faith must not be in man but in God, “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm and whose heart departeth from the Lord.”
Mark Prophet said many times to me and to his staff, “Trust no man.” Trust no man. Trust in God. You will never be disappointed if you trust no man. But if you trust the God within that individual, you will have a solid tie to that person to raise him up to a new level of consciousness.
The Lord did not say, however, that he would dissolve the Israelites’ karma or completely withhold punishment for their misdeeds. He said, “Fear thou not, neither be dismayed. For, lo, I will save thee.” I will correct thee in measure so as not to let you go entirely unpunished. “For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable and thy wound is grievous. There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up. Thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten thee. They seek thee not. For I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity because thy sins were increased.”
Again and again and again you see in the Old Testament the teaching of karma. God lets our karma fall. In this sense we get the sense that a certain amount of karma is going to descend so the people will be chastised and we know that the Lord chastens whom he loves.
“Why criest thou for thine affliction? Thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity. Because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” Next we read, Nevertheless, in his mercy that endureth forever the Lord affirmed his love for his people and prophesied that he would heal them. He said, “All they that devour thee shall be devoured….And all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord.”
And so we must never as self-indulgent children take the Lord’s mercy for granted. God allowed a certain level of karma to descend that the Israelites might be called back to the centeredness of their own God Presence.
Jesus healed those who demonstrated great faith. He did not heal all of those who demonstrated great faith but he, he often did heal those who had great faith. The people brought to him a man sick of palsy. Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.”
Can you accept that right now? “Be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee.” If you do not allow God to forgive your sins, you can surely know that it is a point of pride. When you don’t accept God’s forgiveness, what are you doing? You are shunning him and it is your ego that is standing in the way of that resolution.
Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother [Lazarus] had not died. But I know that even now whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. This is the gift of faith. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha said, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus saith to her, I AM the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”
When Jesus arrived at the grave of Lazarus, he “lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always.” Write that down and say that when you are offering prayers for someone who is sick. Thank God ahead of time. Thank him because he has always heard your prayers. Thank him in advance of that healing. That shows your trust.
“But because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice.” You know, some people do not like loudness. They turn down their decree tapes. They decree with this little, soft little voice. [laughter] If it was necessary for Jesus to speak with a loud voice to command the soul and the spirit of Lazarus to return to his body, then please bind the demons and entities that tell you that there’s something wrong with speaking loud, whether it is your decrees or your calls for someone’s healing.
I saw Clara Louise Kieninger, the first Mother of the Flame, who is ascended and the twin flame of Amen Bey—I saw her one day when I was suffering from a cold. She made such a fierce call for me and my cold that I want you to know I literally almost fell off my chair. [laughter] She had like a forty or fifty year momentum on decreeing [laughter] and she simply would not take no for an answer. And she was the apostle James. Don’t ask me now whether it was James the Less or James the Greater but she was that apostle. She had that from Jesus.
So you have to be fierce with demons, with the state of the human consciousness. And of course here we are dealing with death, breaking the spell of death. He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” The intensity of Jesus’ call, “And he that was dead came forth.” What else could he do with a cry like that? [laughter; 10-second applause]
I was reading about a preacher of earlier in this century or the late last century and I believe he was in London and he was preaching at some kind of a, of a gathering. And a man in the congregation died and so he went over to this man and he punched him in the chest to start his heart beating and the man still didn’t come back. He did this a number of times. And finally with that final punch the man came back to his body and stood up and was raised from the dead and I can assure you that this preacher must have had a tremendous momentum of past lives on this, probably being with Jesus. But he was fierce. He was not taking no for an answer. It was absolute inner faith and determination and oneness with God. And this man stood up and was alive. It’s amazing things that have happened with the saints through the ages.
By faith the woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years was cured by touching Jesus’ garments. The garments of a holy person have that qualification. Mark says, the Gospel of Mark says that she “had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, was nothing bettered but rather grew worse.”
The woman was in a crowd of people who thronged Jesus, and she said to herself, “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” When she touched the hem of his garment th—, then “straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about and said, Who touched my clothes? The woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”
Look at the difference between Gehazi, the servant of the prophet, and this woman. She receives the blessing. Though in her fear and trembling that she has done wrong, she tells the truth. Her faith sustains her through this ordeal of having to confess to, that to Jesus that it was she that touched him. Truth is a wonderful shield and a great armour and it is the Fifth Ray of healing.
At Capernaum, a centurion beseeched Jesus to heal his servant who was sick of the palsy. Jesus said, I will come and heal him. But the centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak only the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.” He felt that because he commanded people, he ordered them around, he had people under him, that he was not worthy of Jesus. “When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” Just say the word and my servant will be healed. “Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.”
Great faith and believing. You determine the capacity of your faith. Do you say, “Well, I will only go so far with my faith and beyond that, well, I just can’t believe it. I can’t believe this healing could happen or that healing could happen. It’s impossible. The doctors have told me this, this, this and this.” You put the limits on your healing by retaining your doubts and not expanding your faith. Get rid of those doubts. They are ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
The apostle Paul also healed those who had faith but not all. A man who was crippled from birth was listening to Paul speak. Paul, “stedfastly beholding him and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice—.” Again, the loud voice comes along. The loud voice is the power of God speaking with authority. Where did the disciples learn it? They learned it at the feet of Jesus of course. Jesus was not a Milquetoast. He was not a namby-pamby and he’s often painted that way. He’s not painted as the strong avatar of the Piscean age.
So Paul says with a loud voice, “Stand upright on thy feet. And the man leaped and walked.” It was the power of Jesus’ sacred fire. If you want to be an instrument of healing, you have to conserve that sacred fire in your temple. You have to come up to the standards of the Ascended Masters for the Aquarian age. To whom is given much, from them much is expected. Probably the power of the voice combined with its loudness shook this man out of the daze of unreality. He leaped and walked.
Now we come to the force and the tremendous power of gratitude. When I take my walks in these hills, I thank God for the simplest things, the mountains and the clouds, the grasses in a million varieties, the wonders of the wildflowers, the simple things all around us. Don’t forget to walk and talk with the Maha Chohan and thank God for the wonderful things of life that we do take for granted.
On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus met ten lepers and he healed them. Only one returned to thank him and “with a loud voice glorified God.” Jesus said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.”
The teaching that Jesus gave me on this passage is that gratitude permanently anchors our healing, not only in this life but in future lifetimes. Your acceptance and your gratitude for your healing before it even manifests in your physical body actually causes that healing to cycle into the physical body. So you use the Healing Thoughtform that is illustrated in our Science of the Spoken Word book. You visualize that Healing Thoughtform over the condition and see the organ, the part of the body, fully restored.
Some of us are already healed at the etheric level of the burdens we’re carrying around us today. Think about that. But we haven’t accepted it. We haven’t given praise for it. We haven’t expressed our gratitude ahead of time. We need to accept our healing, work on our psychology so that we can let go of our infirmities. It’s faith, gratitude and acceptance that are the keys to making the acts of God permanent in our lives. It’s faith, acceptance and then gratitude, faith, acceptance, gratitude.
Prayer is always a necessary ingredient for healing. Prayer means that we acknowledge we need God involved in our healing and so we are communing with him. And it’s not only prayer but the science of the spoken Word in giving dynamic decrees. And that’s where you speak with a loud voice when you give your decrees with that authority of your Christhood instead of just kind of going along rote. You can’t do that. You have to take every word of the decree, ponder it, speak with a loud voice and the devils tremble. They don’t like you speaking your decrees with a loud voice. So remember that.
When Elijah raised the widow’s son from the dead, “he stretched himself on the child three times and cried unto the Lord God.” He cried unto the Lord God, the loud voice, “O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah.” He heard him because the intensity of the fire of his desire to heal this boy rose up to the highest octaves of Light. When your prayers are weak, they don’t go very far. When they’re strong, they pierce through all the levels of maya and they reach the throne of God and your answer comes back. “The Lord heard the voice of Elijah “and the soul of the child came into him again and he revived.”
James, our first Mother of the Flame’s past embodiment, emphasized the role of prayer in healing. “Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any reveling? Let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” This is a wonderful custom, wonderful. We in our Study Groups and Teaching Centers around the world have recourse to one another. We ask one another to pray for us when we are severely burdened. This is the meaning of the Community, the Community that we are building not just at the ranch but that exists in our hearts all over the world.
“Let him call for the elders of the church; let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.” Knowing so well this lifestream of Clara Louise, as I knew her to the time of her ascension. She actually ascended out of Berkeley, California, where she was living. And God wanted her to ascend from that town because of the tremendous burden of drugs that were taking down the generation of youth in the sixties. She ascended from that place. She didn’t even have to travel to Luxor—she had such a momentum of Light. She just went right up, right up.
And I can tell you about this one that in this statement that I have read to you I can hear the fierceness and the fire of her being and I counsel you to desire that fire. You know how to conserve that fire in little ways and in great ways. This is a wonderful teaching from James. The conclusion of it is “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Righteous means locked in to the preachings of Moses and Jesus and all the others who ha, have sponsored us.
Now we come to another form of healing which is the casting out evil spirits and exorcism. Jesus cast out devils. Devils are very stubborn. If you want to do a ritual of exorcism, you need to take the exorcism of Sanat Kumara which is in the pink section of your decree book. It’s a ruby-ray call.
If any of you have watched exorcisms by priests of the Catholic Church, which have been on TV in the last numbers of years, you will see that they go through rituals and certain priests have made this their calling, and so forth. And I think that, I don’t know what other churches practice the ritual of exorcism, but if you are dealing with very heavy-duty type demons, you should not be engaging in calling for the exorcism without a group of Keepers of the Flame. It’s very important because the demons come out of people’s bodies and they attack you right when you are making calls. So you have to be very centered. You have to be very much having been prayed up with hours of decrees and so forth to make these calls for the exorcism of demons.
The gift of discerning of spirits is part of the exorcism, to be able to discern the spirits and then cast them out. On one occasion “they brought Jesus many that were possessed with devils. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick.” You come to a place in life, being a devotee on the Path, when demons recognize you as a devotee on the Path. They recognize your light and they obey you when you command that they come out of a certain person. The biggest problem with demons that I see in our society today are the, all manner of drugs, recreational drugs that people are taking as well as medical drugs which are extreme and on the side of being too yin. And so people’s minds become wide open to whatever is floating by and they tune in to the lower astral plane and then entities can affix themselves to them.
So we are seeing a lot of demon possession, more than ever than I have even seen in centuries except the Dark Ages. And this is something that’s prevalent and in order to deal with diseases that are demon oriented you yourself have to be extremely centered, which is the principle reason why I so advacate, I so advocate the macroback, the macrobiotic diet. Following that diet correctly, you can be God centered and not be pulled in these directions.
A man with a lunatic son begged Jesus to heal his son because the disciples had been unable to do so. And so he says this to his disciples. It is a rebuke. He says, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me.” Jesus is impatient. We like to hear about Jesus’ being always perfect but he was surely impatient, for he had taught these disciples and they were not able to do what he had taught them to do. “Jesus rebuked the devil. And he departed out of him. And the child was cured from that very hour.” Take note of the words, “he rebuked the devil.” He gave him a good talking-to. He cussed him out, that’s what he did. [laughter]
“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why couldn’t we cast him out? Jesus said, Because of your unbelief.” Somewhere lurking in your being you did not believe that you could be the instrument of this exorcism. That’s why it is so important to go through the levels of consciousness denoted by the, the steps of the chakras. “For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, this mountain of karma, this mountain of disease, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove. And nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”
And that is true of exorcism. If you are going to approach someone who is demon possessed and you decide to do this as a group in your center, you can call headquarters, you can get our support with you, but you will have to go through some prayer and fasting and do it sensibly. You don’t have to just drink water. You can eat a grain such as brown rice or other grains. You can drink some tea. But you need to cleanse and purge your body.
Jesus had the spiritual mastery to heal the soul and the environment of the soul. We have to do the same so that we can be the instrument of God’s healing, so your aura becomes a giant reflector, reflecting the Great Central Sun, the sun of Helios and Vesta. When you expand the rings of your Causal Body and establish the aura here below in this level that is in your Great Causal Body above you, then you have these, these giant spheres and this giant disc. And so you receive the sun, the Light of the Son of God and you send it back to the sun and you have this tremendous momentum of white light.
Gaining this only requires you to do the things that I have mentioned in all of these Holy Spirit lectures, to come into line with the laws of God. It’s like things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. You merge with the Christ when you are wholly Christ-like. And if you aren’t merging with the Christ, find out what is stopping you and get to work on it.
Jesus explained an important principle of exorcism: “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, [the spirit] walketh through dry places, seeking rest and findeth none. Then [the spirit] says, I will return into my house from whence I came out. And when the unclean spirit is come, he findeth the house empty, swept and garnished. Then goeth the spirit and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
He was better off with his one demon; now he has seven more. So you see we have to fill the vacuum. When you call to the name of Jesus or any Ascended Master to cast out a demon or an entity, you must immediately fill your temple with God. Sing hymns of praise, give your decrees, give that “Tube of Light” fiercely, give your calls and keep on giving your calls. Call to your Holy Christ Self to enter and occupy your temple rather than leave it empty until the fullness of the Holy Spirit comes upon you.
Jesus gave the commission to his disciples to go into “all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” He said one of the signs that would “follow them that believe” was that they would cast out devils in his name. Don’t ever forget the name, “in the name Jesus Christ,” before you, you make your fiats concerning this subject of exorcism.
So I have a list of things that can help you heal yourself, be the instrument of the healing of yourself and loved ones. These are things that you need to do every day if you want to surround yourself with the garments of healing of the beloved Hilarion. Remember to reread the story of Hilarion who was the final embodiment of the apostle Paul. He had tremendous gifts of healing. He would run to the desert and hide and, and thousands of people would follow him to be healed.
Do you remember the story, those of you who have read the Lords of the Seven Rays? There was this great storm coming and great high waves and the people dragged him down to the, to the shore and propped him up there [laughs] and the waves came and they stopped midair and they went back in the other direction. [laughter] I mean, this is really the gift of healing. Sometimes it takes embodiments to get to that level of proficiency but there’s no time like the present to begin.
So the first thing that you need do every day when you want to be an instrument of healing is 10.14, the “Decree to Beloved Mighty Astrea.” We have this in, in a fast mode and in a much slower mode. When you keep yourself clean as a whistle with Mighty Astrea’s circle and sword of blue flame, you’re not picking up and gathering to yourself like static electricity demons and lower spirits. It’s very, very important. You have to keep that aura clean every day. And when you carry Light, there are always lesser and greater demons that want to destroy you and put you off the Path. So the circle and sword of Astrea is absolutely essential.
We have decrees and songs to the hierarchy of the Fifth Ray. The Fifth Ray is the ray of healing. And these include healing decrees; the decree to Pallas Athena, which is in the green section, and the decree to Cyclopea.
Then there are decrees to Archangel Michael. Early Christians revered Archangel Michael as the heavenly physician. The Archangel Michael decrees are the first decrees I give when I start my own private session following the “Tube of Light.” I always want to be one with Archangel Michael. I put a lot of power and energy in my “Tube of Light” and in my Archangel Michael decrees because I know that it’s up to me to build a stairway to the octaves of Light that are native to Archangel Michael. I must reach him with my calls. I must carve a funnel through the astral plane so that he is solidly locked into my body. I would consider it folly for you not to begin every day with calls to Archangel Michael.
We have the Archangel Michael decree and song tape. We have published it in a slower version for children where each of the decrees is given slowly with the blue and the pink and the yellow vibrations separately and, so that they are good for new students as well as for children. And then there’s “Archangel Michael’s Rosary for Armageddon,” which we have in a fast and a slow version. These are very powerful and your first duty to God is to have a forcefield of protection around you. God cannot reward you with healing powers if you are not solidly in your tower, your pillar of fire, every day.
The following are other tools you can use to facilitate your healing and others’. “Watch with Me,” Jesus Vigil of the Hours. Jesus always places his Electronic Presence with you whenever you give that Watch. It is a love communion with Jesus and you open yourself to him to heal you and others. The Watch is something you give for loved ones who are ill or who have had accidents. Instead of pacing the floor outside the emergency room, you go to your car and you give the Watch and you come into oneness with Jesus.
Our “Sanctissima” cassette of songs to Mother Mary, to Jesus, to Raphael, and so forth are very important. They cal, carry the Light of higher octaves and are in themselves instruments of healing. The “Scriptural Rosaries for the New Age” and the audiocassette of the “Novena Prayer to Our Lady of Good Remedy,” and then if you want to do a search on the teachings of healing, go through all of our published works and pick out the teachings on healings that have come from all the Ascended Masters. I would like to give you now in closing the promise that Jesus gave to John, which John wrote down in the Book of Revelation, chapter 21. “I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new….It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”
My beloved friends, the promises of God abound throughout the scriptures and throughout the dispensations we have received. Please do not waste your time in front of the TV set. Don’t waste your time in all kinds of senseless things. You can become such an instrument of the fire of the Holy Ghost by just putting your mind to it and getting rid of other things that are in your life that are relatively meaningless. It’s up to you. The getting of the Holy Spirit is up to you.
I believe that I’ve given to you the signs and the Path and what needs to be done. But this is a very individual matter. It will not happen simply because you are sitting here in this tent. It will happen because something wonderful and profound and spectacular is going on inside of you and you are being changed and transformed by God because you have opened yourself to him as never before. I ask you to pursue this road. It’s a mighty and glorious road that we are on together. God bless you. [36-second standing ovation]

What is the Holy Spirit?
Third Person of the Trinity; the omnipresence of God; the cloven tongues of fire that focus the Father-Mother God, also called the sacred fire; the energies of Life that infuse a cosmos. In the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, the Holy Spirit corresponds to Shiva, known as the Destroyer/Deliverer because his all-consuming Love, when invoked in the planes of Matter, binds the forces of evil and transmutes the cause and effect of man’s miscreations, thus delivering him from the prison house of karma and its dark denizens.
Prana is the essence of the Holy Spirit that we take in by the sacred fire breath through the chakras to nourish the four lower bodies. The Holy Spirit focuses the balance of the Father-Mother God in the white-fire core of being. The exorcism of foul spirits and unclean entities is accomplished by the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit in the name of Christ and the I AM THAT I AM. The nine gifts of the Spirit are powers conveyed to the Lord’s servants to bind death and hell and work his works on earth.
The Person and the Flame of the Holy Spirit is the Comforter whom Jesus promised would come when our Lord took his leave—to enlighten us, to teach us, and to bring all things to our remembrance that beloved Jesus has taught us, both in heaven and on earth. Each time a son or daughter of God ascends into the Presence of the I AM THAT I AM, the Holy Spirit descends to fill the void and to magnify the Lord’s Presence on earth. This is the ritual of the descent of the Holy Ghost promised by Jesus to his disciples when the Master said, “Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high,” which took place on Pentecost.
The nine gifts
The nine gifts of the Holy Spirit are (1) the word of wisdom, (2) the word of knowledge, (3) faith, (4) healing, (5) the working of miracles, (6) prophecy, (7) the discerning of spirits, (8) divers kinds of tongues, (9) the interpretation of tongues.
The representative of the Holy Spirit
The representative of the flame of the Holy Spirit to earth’s evolutions is the ascended master who occupies the office of Maha Chohan. The Holy Spirit is the Personal Impersonality of the Godhead and is positioned on the west side of the City Foursquare.
