Excerpts from an Address by BELOVED
SERAPIS BEY
The Inner Cause and Inner Healing of
Disease
(NOTE: This article is presented at the request of many of our readers who noted
the letter from Havana, Cuba, in the September 1955 issue of our journal and
desired to have the instruction given by Beloved Serapis Bey.)
"My beloved friends, the healing of the New Day comes under an
entirely different aspect of the Law than all preceding service along this line,
because we enter a New Cycle wherein permanent illumination will outpicture as
Divine perfection and the activity of the Healing Flame will be directed toward
the dissolving of the INNER CAUSES within the lifestream, which result from
certain definite mal-adjustments in both mind and body.
Science is beginning to realize that a great many physical and
mental disorders are due to unseen emotional causes which rest within the
consciousness of those concerned; sometimes buried beneath the reach and memory
of the individual's personal identity.
To illustrate briefly: Every organ and cell within the physical
mechanism has a vibratory action of its own, separate and distinct from the
vibratory action of its neighbor's. Within the inner bodies, there are certain
centers that vibrate in unison with these physical organisms. Certain mental and
emotional distortions within the inner bodies affect the physical mechanism in a
discordant manner, so that the inner vehicles must be harmonized and purified in
order to have a permanent relief and release from mal-adjustment of the outer
self. When these inner causes are removed from the consciousness by illumination
of the outer mind, the purification of the inner bodies and the cooperation of
the personal self, you will find the distressing effect in the physical organism
dissolved and dropping away.
This is why the spiritual healing of today is more protracted than
in the earlier days, but it provides a vast field for experimentation by the
lifestream interested in "raising the cover" on this tremendous science, with
the desire to join one's forces with the Cosmic movement of the Age and, by
application, to manifest the proof of the Law presented. An intelligent
understanding of the mechanics of the physical form in relation to the other
three lower bodies, will enable you to become more valuable to the Hierarchy and
to mankind in the treating and dissolving of the cause behind the appearances of
imperfection.
The nervous system of the body was provided to carry pure light from
the "I AM" Presence to sustain the various organisms and to motivate them
according to the direction of the Higher Mind (Holy Christ Self). Medical
science will attest to the fact that the brain center directs impulses of energy
through the nervous system, which precede all activity, conscious and
unconscious. When the impulses from the brain are blocked by contracted nerve
channels or injured nerves, the body ceases to function perfectly in the
particular area where such blockage occurs. WHY? Because the light (which is
life), is the only animating and motivating power in the Universe and, if the
channel through which it passes does not remain open (for one reason or
another), the light in that portion of the body, organ, limb or cell, steadily
decreases, having no feeding station from which to draw.
The nervous system is affected by all discordant vibrations set up
in the mental, emotional and etheric bodies. It is like a hose that has lost its
resiliency, or become stuck together, so that the passage of fluid through it is
no longer possible and it becomes unfit for use. Fear, depression, uncertainty,
as well as anger and other violent emotions, continually corrode the lines of
very sensitive fibers which comprise the nervous system. This causes old age,
disintegration and so-called "death". The blockage of the flow of light through
the nervous system is the only reason that the various parts of the body cease
to receive the renewing power contained within this natural life-flow and,
gradually, disintegration takes place. In the ordinary course of Nature, if the
nervous system was not impaired, even the small percentage of light allotted to
the use of the outer self of mankind today (only 5 to 10% of that which could be
his were he to remain wholly harmonious at all times!) would completely renew
every nerve, every cell, every tissue, every bone and muscle within six months
to one year! The light that flows through the nervous system carries the
renewing power and, when the channels through which that light flows are
disintegrated, the renewing and rejuvenation processes cease.
In his progress to perfection, although mankind would have had to
change his physical garments from time to time in order to vary his life
experience on the Earthplane, he could wear those garments (bodies) in youth and
beauty and discard them while they were yet functioning perfectly, by merely
consciously withdrawing all the life and light from the nervous system and the
cells and atoms which were still intact. Then the remaining structure, (placed
in the Flame), would be returned to its natural elements.
All poor eyesight, impaired hearing and retarded mental faculties,
as well as all "wasting" diseases to which mankind are prone (and, for that
matter, every imperfect expression of disease) is lack of light, resulting from
blockage or "broken lines" which previously carried light into that particular
section of the anatomy that seems to be disturbed.
You would do well to secure a chart of the physical body and study
the nervous system. You will find that the nerves extend all the way to the tips
of the fingers and toes and to all strategic and vital organs and that fine
hairlines of feeders (which may not be illustrated on the chart) extend from the
main channels.
If there is an appearance of distress or disease in any particular
section of the vehicle, you can thus intelligently trace the particular part of
the nervous system that has been impaired. This can be replaced and rebuilt by
the visualization of the light flowing through that section, repairing the
damage done. Then the lifestream must be carefully examined for the cause within
which has shattered the nervous system in that section. A sincere call to your
own God Presence will reveal (in the privacy of your own heart) the conditions
of the mental, emotional and etheric bodies which are responsible for the
damage.
In the Name and Authority of your own Beloved "I AM" Presence,
COMMAND that discord to CEASE! That discord is merely impulses of vibration
which are like the clashing of cymbals in a destructive manner. Command such
discord to cease in your bodies and in those of ALL mankind. In this way, you
could rebuild any faulty organ into perfect health in a matter of hours, days,
weeks or months, according to your specific capabilities and concentration.
Blessings and love to you all."

A HEALING MEDITATION
Let the "I AM" Three-Fold Flame within
my heart expand!
Let it charge its healing essence
through my heart and head and hand!
Let its joyous radiance now penetrates
each part,
Saturate my being with the substance
from God's heart.
Let me now accept that every call I make
is heard;
As my need is known, the love in every
Master's stirred.
Back upon the very line of energy I've
spent
To make the call, the answer comes!
Instantly, it's sent!
Let me get still, so very still and
listening within,
Let me feel the Master's current,
healing to begin;
Calling on forgiveness for the cause of
all that's wrong
Living henceforth in the light, I sing
the Victor's song!
"Come! O, Master Jesus, come! Bring us
thy quick relief!
'I believe, Lord, I believe! Help thou
mine unbelief!'
Possessing us, let thy great
consciousness of Truth prevail;
The "I AM" calls are answered! God's
love can NEVER fail!"
(IMPORTANT: If the gentle reader will actually use these words and visualize
them as taking place for him, the momentum built will heal him personally; then,
he can repeat the same activity, seeing it take place for others. Try it! Please
do not just read and discard! Use this "treatment" and get manifest results!)
