Divine Health:
The Laws of Perfect Wellness
Lecture based Questions:
1. What repels Divine Health?
The subconscious mind is what arranges our health problems; its influence in our lives can be very subtle and easy to overlook. Sometimes we invite physical disability in order to exit the stressful and relentless structures of our daily responsibilities. Sometimes illness distracts us from difficult relationships. Sometimes a fatal illness gives loved ones the Big Finger as one exits from a disturbing life. The hidden cause of illness must be made conscious to affect permanent healing.
A) Belief in illness is the surest way to attract it.
B) Children under the age of seven can manifest illness and accident from not only the fears and expectations of their parents but also the beliefs of society. Sometimes they also manifest illness to help balance the dynamics of emotional discord during family crises. Any trauma to the body before the age of seven is personal karmic pay off. The task of such a child throughout adulthood is to overcome the physical weakness in spirit and in body.
C) Anger, negativity, bitterness, and criticism fester in our bodies until they manifest as illness.
D) Pain, injury, or illness is our usual mode for paying off negative karma. However, it is possible for us to comprehend our karmic debt and achieve perfect empathy for our past victims without experiencing the physical suffering. This is not to say that we can get off for free. Perfect empathy opens the floodgates of feeling and emotion with great intensity and horror for what we have caused others. Only the body is spared during this process; the Astral body and the conscious mind receive the entire impact of the lesson.
We can pray to the Divine Creator for enlightenment and empathy without the physical suffering. We can also pray for this on behalf of others, especially when we are praying for people who are ill or in pain. This opens the way for our development of empathy through revelation rather than through suffering. Karma is not a punishment, but a means to teach understanding and responsibility for our behavior.
2. How does the Law of Correspondence function in health?
Every illness has a specific corresponding emotional and Mental attitude. We can relieve the symptoms of the malaise, but the illness will eventually return unless we correct the source of the problem, which is the attitude. For instance, fear settles in the kidneys and thighs, greed in the shoulders and arms, impatience in the Achilles tendon.
Prayer and meditation can accomplish this, also asking the Guardian Angel for wisdom regarding whatever needs correction, then praying for enlightenment without suffering. Appreciate the details of life that we usually take for granted and train the mind away from negativity. Thus we can avoid much in the way of health problems.
3. What attitude attracts good health?
It is important to daily cleanse the Astral, Etheric, and physical bodies of negativity, doubt, and fear. We can keep clean through daily meditation, frequent affirmations, avoiding negative attitudes and expressions, and using Pranic Healingsm or energy cleansing techniques on our chakras. The hidden cause of illness must be made conscious to affect permanent healing.
A) It is everyone’s Divine Right to enjoy perfect good health all of the time. Unfortunately, we are indoctrinated into the lie of disease and damage from the first day of our physical lives. It takes many repetitions of positive statements or affirmations to counteract the constant barrage of negative expectations from our environment.
B) The body naturally reverts to good health and youthfulness whenever it is provided with sufficient nutrients, rest, recreation, and stimulation. We try to provide these things for our pet animals, why not make the effort to provide them for our own bodies? Many of us abuse our bodies with overworking, sleep deprivation, inappropriate food, noise pollution, and neglect. If our parents have treated us similarly, our basic programming problem is to solve emotions and behavior. We can pray for a better attitude about our bodies and our self-care. Daily prayer and affirming in this regard will garner astounding results. It changes the shape of the Astral body on a permanent level.
C) Any illness or injury can be considered as a karmic attack. When we follow the rules for preventing attack, we can also prevent physical disability [see The Elements of Attack].
4.Exercise: Invoking The Mantle of the Great Physician
Matthew 9:20—Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “Your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.
Matthew 14:36 People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.
First, cleanse and renew the major chakras. Then protect and seal the aura from all negative influences. Take the three breaths of cleansing, healing, and renewal. In Stillness, remember that the Christ Office includes the role of The Great Physician. At this time, Lord Emmanuel occupies this office, and we can access him by simply invoking His name or memory.
The Mantle of Christ is a living metaphor for the faith that creates instantaneous healing. Visualize it made of swirling blue Light. It is immense and beautiful. The border on it is a pattern of white, gold, and rainbow Light. Reach forth and touch it. Say, “I have touched the hem of His Mantle, and I am made whole.”
5. Scrying Exercise: Reading Auras
Always invoke the Spirit of Truth. Ask to only perceive reality. If a client does not wish to hear the truth, he or she will leave of one’s own accord.
View a volunteer subject and have him or her ask you specific questions about him or her. You may access answers to these questions by focusing on the corresponding level as listed below.
Depending on your focus of intent, you may read at these various levels:
Etheric
(health)
Astral
(immediate points of interest, emotional issues, people involved with the client)
Mental
(experiences that are pending and messages from Higher Intelligences).
You may see Astral thought forms that resemble Christmas tree ornaments. These usually house thought forms of loved ones. The Etheric aura contains both elementals and vivid reminders of past damage and present problems. These can be healed through energy healing or affirmations. Mental thought forms connect to us more as impressions rather than as clear images. Your Guardian Angel can interpret these for you.
6. Why and how does this work? What would be the most appropriate use of this technique?
When you wish to monitor your physical health or the well-being of a client, then this is a simple and fast way to tune into the most urgent health issues. Of course, you do not want to be checking everybody out everywhere you go. That would be prying. However, it is kosher to check on loved ones and patients who have come for help.
The best preparation for this technique is to ask both the Guardian Angels of yourself and your client to guide you.
The physical eyes see Etheric conditions and your ultra-perception can measure the vitality level of the body and the size of the Etheric body along with the Hara Line and the meridians. Astral checking is more complicated because there is so much to look at you don’t know where to start. Ask for only the relevant points. The mental perceptions will seem like flashes of pictures and messages about the patient. Your Astral Body and your Mental Body are both involved in this function. The Astral Body can see itself and others “inside-out” and can find many things if it knows what to look for. The Mental Body can access the Infinite Mind and the Spirit of Truth and Wisdom for direction on where to look.
7. Draw or describe one of your helpers.
Hundreds of individuals help us and wait to help us: angels, loved ones (both living and dead), pets, nature spirits, teachers, and Masters. Each contacts us with symbols, colors, mind pictures, and sensations. Still yourself and put pen or pencil to paper. Start doodling and see what you have drawn to remind you of one of these allies. Or, record something you remember of a spark of light or loving touch.
8. Exercise: The Renewing Body
The natural course of the physical body is toward health and healing.
Thought obstructions create blockages in the energy flow. All illness is a form of attack, and should be treated as such.
Protection against attack remains the same:
Atoms turned upward,
Meditate on the Divine Archetype
Affirmations aligning oneself to the Divine Design of one’s Life.

THE CREED OF DIVINE GOOD HEALTH
✿ God is the Universal Life, Mind, and Spirit animating my whole being. I am now exalting God in the midst of me, and I know that my thoughts of wholeness, beauty, and perfection must manifest wherever they are needed. The universe brings me peace and wellness. I now affirm my life of strength, energy, and vigor. ✿ When my mind is focused on the order and beauty of nature, my thoughts are thereby transformed and renewed, creating my healing. I want to be well with all my heart and soul, and I am well and I stay well. My body is constantly renewing itself through my thoughts of life and youthful zeal. As I change my mind ever toward greater strength, beauty, zest, and blessing, my body changes accordingly because my body is my mind condensed. Through the Divine Power of Life, my body is being recreated every second, and thus becomes the solidification of my thought. ✿ I forgive myself for errors in thinking and action, I forgive others for their errors to me, I make amends wherever possible, and I believe in my Divine Right to enjoy perfect health. Let no negative thought or feeling fester in my physical body. God now clears all decks and I am free to receive blessing and healing on all levels of my being. My conscious and subconscious minds are flooded with unshakable faith in my Divine Right of vibrant good health. ✿ I am a breathing affirmation of invulnerable health. Every cell of my body—every atom of my Etheric and Physical bodies are alight with the Divine Fire of Life. So wondrous is my joy in living that Divine Enthusiasm infects all the people I meet with the same vital force. I am a living conduit of healing and blessing. ✿ I picture myself in a perfect way, enjoying my sports, relaxing and laughing in complete ease and comfort, all my bodily functions working in perfect order, sleeping deeply with renewal, and waking alert with energy and enthusiasm. ✿ The greater my faith in the Divine Creator, the greater my energy and strength. I daily affirm my reliance on God alone for all my wellness. I daily realign myself with the Divine Plan of my life—a life of joyous good health, vast energy, beautiful body, endless enthusiasm, great play, lovely smooth soft skin, miraculously thick and bouncy shiny healthy hair, strong healthy bones, gums, and teeth, and continuous healing consecrated by God’s love. ✿ In Divine Mind, I am whole, lively, and blessed—now and always, in the loving hands of the Almighty Spirit.

LIFE with a Capital I
September 8, 1950
We are teaching you to be well. Sometimes it is wise to do one’s duties despite the condition of the body. Other times the body’s distress during illness would be too great and the mind obscured, unable to perform. We are teaching you to chart your own health course and to keep your spirit and soul the guardian of the threshold of what you experience. At times we find our pupils have too great an interest in their health. They pay too much attention to their bodies, to their comfort in bodies and their disease or restlessness. It is better, if you simply feel uncomfortable to perform your duties and to do your duties with enjoyment with relish if you please.
Your health matters come within my jurisdiction and one point I would bring you to think about—each one of you—is that you should and can lift your attention to the level of life wherein lies strength and ease and activity. We urge you, for the next three months, to pay no heed, unless a serious physical emergency arises, to your body discomforts, but turn all these things—lack of strength, and the rebelliousness of the body, up to the Light of the Divine Indweller and say, “The time has come when it is I who shall decide how I am going to live in this body. I now decide that I will physically move and function in peace and strength.” If you expect health of your body, and you pay no temperamental heed to its disordered claims, you will find your body well. Most of you are made ill from your astral bodies’ depressions. This created your turmoil rather than any physical impairments.
Good Morning and a day of lighted conquest! —Master Kung Fu
