The Universe is governed by an infinite Power and Principle that is both the Creator and the Creation. Its essence is the action and manifestation of Love and we are that Love in physical form.
Quantum physics has established there is no matter, only energy and energy can vibrate at faster or slower speeds. What we call matter is actually Love energy vibrating at slower speeds. We can access our true nature as the manifestation of God by raising our vibration. We consciously experience our God nature, we “see” God, by perfecting our ability to limit our thoughts, words and actions to those of our true essence, love.
A good analogy is provided by Dr Brian Weiss, Head of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami, Florida, who likens Spirit to steam. When the atoms vibrate more slowly, it becomes water. Even slower, it becomes even more dense and turns into ice. If we apply heat to ice or water this speeds up the atoms and they convert back to the higher vibrational steam.
While non-physical God, Divine Love, is equivalent to steam, in our more inspired states we are water, and in our most base moments we take on the density and limitations of ice. When we love in every thought, word and deed we raise our vibration, we free ourselves from physical limitations, able to transcend the fetters of physicality.
This is what all the Avatars through the ages have tried to show us. They are the masters of managing energy. Their so-called miracles arose from their ability to love perfectly, giving access to their true nature and spiritual legacy, allowing them to harness the power of their Creative Principle, Divine Love, to manipulate and manage energy.
Although the Avatars are the masters, the ability to manage energy is available to us all. Twenty years ago I was a young mother coping with the daily pressures of raising two young children with a husband who was losing his way. I was spending part of every day checking my thought to keep it focussed on love and perfection, my true nature, in an effort to heal the rift that seemed to be growing between us.
From the youngest age I had been trained to control my thoughts, and thus my experience, by restricting my thoughts to love and its manifestation. I had been taught that Divine Love is my Creator and my essence, the nature of my being, understanding that by refusing to be tempted to drift into thoughts of resentment, bitterness or revenge, I could manifest the physical and emotional healing I desired.
I spent some time every day meditating and affirming the truth of the situation. This does not just involve the human truth. What I was trying to establish in my thought was the universal truth of the innocence, wholeness and perfection of all involved. I was trying to shift what I could accept about my husband and me intellectually, so that I could begin to feel it as truth in my heart.
This takes effort and patience because it requires a paradigm shift of belief. I knew that what I could see with my eyes, which created a very strong feeling of fear, anger and frustration in my body, was not the truth about me or my life. I knew there was a bigger picture where dishonesty, unkindness and disloyalty are illusionary, only having the reality I ascribed to them. I wanted to get to the point where I could feel this truth with my whole being, and not just cling to it in blind belief.
One night during this time I was cooking the evening meal and I inadvertently poured boiling water over my hand. Because I had been immersed in the effort to align with my true nature I immediately remembered a passage that I had read that morning: “Truth is an alterative in the entire system, and can make it ‘every whit whole.’” (Mary Baker Eddy)
I mentally declared the power of this divine truth repeatedly and held to it without fear or wavering, so that the physical conditions of harm could adjust to the reflect the eternal spiritual truth of my continuing perfect health and wholeness.
I immediately felt a lessening of pain. I continued to affirm this truth and remained peaceful and fearless. Within minutes there was a complete eradication of pain. Even so, I refrained from looking at my hand. Because I was holding to a truth that was not immediately fully evidenced in my body, I knew the condition of my body could induce doubt or fear in my thought. I knew the work was in process so I kept my thought focussed on the truth.
I can honestly say that by the next day I was unable to remember which hand was burned. There was no blistering, scarring or even discoloration. The skin was completely clear.
Valerie Hunt, Professor Emeritus of Physiological Science at the University of California Los Angeles, provides insight into what actually occurs in healings like this. In her book Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness, she records her observation of the treatment of a woman’s burns at the Pain Control Clinic in Kyoto, Japan.
Both of the woman’s arm were wrapped in aluminum foil, with a lead wire attached to an acupuncture needle. The needle was inserted in the acupuncture point just below the kneecap. This constituted the entire treatment. Within 20 minutes, Hunt says the woman was totally free of pain. After several treatments over the next four days Hunt witnessed that the woman’s skin was clear, “without ulceration, peeling or scars.”
The attending physician explained the process to Dr Hunt:
…the steam had created cellular metabolic disturbances affecting the energy field, which caused energy from other areas of the body to rush to the arms to heal them. This excess energy pressed on nerves and blood vessels, causing swelling and pain…the aluminum foil, wire, and acupuncture needles drained the excess energy from the burned arms back into the legs…
Most pain is caused by inflammation, which is an accumulation of energy. When we master the ability to manage energy we are able to effect physical healings such as these.
The Avatars tell us that we are all capable of this because we are all God.
Emily Dickinson glimpsed this innate connection between the human and the Divine in her poem “The Brain - is wider - than the Sky”:
The Brain is just the weight of God - For - Heft them - Pound for Pound - And they will differ - if they do - As Syllable from Sound -
