Is it possible to cure a genetic illness?

Rebecca asks for understanding of DNA and how we are in control of it. Can we cure ourselves of genetic illnesses?

Dearest Rebecca, has a very strong conscious understanding and a very deep, distinct need to control her body and a great strong fear of how others view her or judge her. In answer to her question about the DNA, that that is present in the body can be affected by the belief system of the conscious mind and so it can be altered and changed. The spiritual DNA or vibrational code can affect it as well

Spiritual DNA, that’s an interesting way of looking at it.

That’s what your vibrational code is. It is the sum of who you are, the many lifetimes. All learning has a vibrational equivalent. And this is what is contained. Unlike genetic DNA, spiritual DNA or genetic code does changes within the body, constantly.

As we learn and grow.

Yes, and your physical DNA can reflect this ability as well. It can grow and heal and change. And it can be limited and harmed as well. As to cure, that’s an interesting word. Is that a belief or is that a state of being? Trust. Understand what one is and where one is in life. Be that that you are. All of these things affect the condition of the state that your body is in. What it presents to you; what you need to learn from it. Every cell of the body has a voice. Listen to these voices. All conditions can be created. It is up to you. It has often been said that you are the captain of your ship. It is true. You control the learning and the growing, the choices.

And how do we listen to our cells?

The cells have ways of speaking. Their voices are often….well, there is a transmission of pain, an inability to use a part of your being. Its voice might sometimes be masked by several different things, from the eruption of a sore to cells taking on huge amounts of fluid to protect the body. Cells have been known to release huge amounts of fluid, to not absorb energy or nutrition in order to be heard. Do you see what I speak? See the body as
a great receiver, receptor, and transmitter of energy and information. Ask your body how it might speak to you and then listen. You may actually get words or you may get an uncomfortable feeling, a tingling of the skin, a lifting of the hair upon your body. Many different ways, but you must seek your own truth, find your own way. Judge it not by the measure of others, but let it speak to you in your own way. Develop your own truth, and through this communion, you will hear its voice.

Every being that has created a state of illness knows it. If you are very confused by that that is spoken to you, then accept what you know about yourself. Do not be willing to accept others opinions. Judge as you feel you be. If you are very afraid, then address that. For therein lies the answer.

And for Rebecca, she worries that if you feel you can heal yourself from something and are unable to do it, then you might feel like a failure or that you are not spiritual enough.

This idea comes from her own judging. There is no failure in life. Yes, there can be a state of “no growth” should you choose to be in it. But all things create growth. There is no failure. Should the being’s condition proceed, is what you want to answer. If by all means, the being has tried and still this condition continues, is this state a failure? No. It simply means it has not yet been addressed. The truth of the being has not yet been addressed. Some conditions are created for growth. If the growth is addressed, then it is healed. I think your understanding of healing and ours are very different. Healing is the enlightenment of the spirit in body--to understand itself, its place in being, its purpose therein. Address this rather than any disease. Address the state of the body.

Any further words for Rebecca?

To love herself. This is a beautiful being. She loves to bring pleasure to others. Tell her to judge herself not so harshly, to understand her being. She has lived in a toxic atmosphere in her early life and it is hard for her to be free of this. She should speak to herself of light and love. She finds great joy in being. Allow herself to do this.

She wants a simple answer; there isn’t one. Tell her that the DNA can be altered. Tell her that she can be that that she wants to be. Tell her that fear often motivates her and a distrust in trusting. Should she carry with her a pain from the past, she can try to address that pain. There is no one answer to anything but there are many answers to all. We are not trying to be vague but she is unique and wondrous hi her own way. She wants to believe. Tell her to put down her guard and believe. Tell her to be that beautiful naïve child that she is. And there is nothing wrong with that; there is nothing “failure” about it.

Connecting with family who are distanced

Vonna would like to know what to do to reconnect with her younger sister Joanne.

This dear being wants very much to touch the heart of her sister but must accept the fact that she cannot be that at this time with her sister. That it would not be a replacing of this dear child that she lost. Vonna needs to find a bond that is close and loving; she cannot be responsible if the sister does not wish it to be. She must accept and find light and love within others. There are many that are close to her.

She should extend her love to her sister but expect nothing in return. If in time the sister is ready…(though at this time there is a great fear of not being acceptable to the older sister). There is nothing the older sister need do, other than be unconditional with her sister. Tell Vonna to simply speak openly of her love and acceptance.

If she were to force the issue with this sister, it would not create growth but in fact cause some difficulty. She wants to mother someone now. She wants to have the love she had and she misses it terribly, but this is not what she had with her sister ever.

One is only responsible for one’s own path. One can shed light and love to others, but if they do not wish to join with you, you must accept where they be. Vonna can love her sister from her path and hope that one day they will have more. She needs to nourish her being, to grow, to be, and to love herself. Movement, expectation that light and love will be.

Mind-cell-body relationship (healing)

Doris wanted to know how to alleviate her leg pain and whether she’s made the right decision about refusing surgery.

Dear, dear Doris must first understand what the pain in the legs means to her. She is very tired. She has been taking care of herself for a very long time. She often wishes that she could just be taken care of. And this radiates back to her in an understanding of who she is and where she is and how she is. She has to understand about how the mind-cell-body relationship is. When she wholly understands this and takes time for herself, and truly understands the process. It took a long time getting to where it is and it will take a long time for it to recover. There are many means and ways that she can do this.

Was she right not to have surgery? There is no quick fix. I know in your world it is often easier to have someone else do it for you but she must understand her feeling comes from within her. There are things she can do. She can wrap her legs early before she rises in the morning. She can massage them with sesame oil. She can take natural anti-inflammatories, which are in green foods and spicy foods. She shouldn’t take too much aspirin. She should eat fish and turmeric is very good. It is good for relieving inflammation. She has inflammation in the veins and the stress in her veins is from her understanding. She must realize that she is in control. She should eat no sugar or white flour, and avoid all wheat. Eat lots of green vegetables, rice, oils. And she should reduce the weight of her body for her legs. Most of the swelling in her body is protection--to protect herself from the world. She has often felt that she has to give so much. She needs to understand now how to be, to be that that she is—radiant and beautiful.

This is advice that is given to so many people. Is it that we forget or we are too busy? Why is it so hard for us to do that?

Often in the early stages of development, the conscious mind accepts an understanding of themselves that is contrary to being perfect love, growing and experiencing all things. The being comes to believe that they must fulfill the needs of others, or else that they are being judged and that they have to do or be or act certain way. It is a constant struggle to undo this, to un-remember.

Often it results in an illness or physical problems.

Yes, for there is only so long that cells can maintain an understanding that is contrary to what they came for.

So the advice to be that that you are is to let go of preconceived ideas of who you are and what you should be. To let go of those patterns and start to just be.

Often it isn’t just the conscious mind that accepts this understanding, but in the heart. That’s where the true understanding lies. It’s a need to go back to the time in the understanding where you absorbed it. And to realize what occurred. Realizing that this doesn’t belong. It wasn’t needed. It’s not a condemning or a condoning; it’s an understanding of who you truly are—an amazing being. Yes, there are certain promises, certain issues, certain tasks you will learn and grow from, but you do not have to be fighting constantly against the current by absorbing something that someone else has placed on you.

This is so common. Can counseling help? Or a process of some kind?

Understand that you have all the information you need in your body. Some of it is just not open to you. You have blocked it either by pain or by simply not wanting to move forward. You need to talk to it. You need to have a constant communication. Step out of yourself. See your body. Witness who you are. How you’re doing, how you’re reacting. Talk to yourself. Do it with love, with tenderness, with compassion. Know you are an amazing multitude of communities in one. Each cell has an understanding of what is needed. If there has been some misdirection along the way, you need to go back to it and say “where did this come from and how can I alleviate this?”

Give yourself permission to have the pain and to learn from it. Often people create an illness to be heard. They want someone to hear them and to see them. She can love herself and listen to her body. Tell Doris to put down her burdens. So often she has felt that she done all the giving and often she resists accepting love from others. She pushes love and tenderness away from her. It is there for her. Tell this dear one to be the light that she is, to open her heart to the many, to allow them close. She is loved.

Healing and willingness to make a shift

Pat has two questions. One is about fear and whether it overrules intuition. She had had intuitions about her husband’s surgeries but she didn’t act on them.

She has fear but she also understands that he must make this choice. And at this time he chooses the surgery. The outcome she well knows. She knows that this world is very heavy on him, stresses him. He has not changed his actions, his belief, his understanding. If the surgery could have cut out that and replaced it with a positive outlook so he could make choices that will support him, then yes, it would be successful.

Yeah, that’s the kind of surgery we all need. So how can we do that surgery?

It has not been developed yet.

Pat also wondered if her husband’s depression or anger interferes with his healing.

She knows that it does. This being needs to have someone other than his wonderful wife to talk to. He needs to have someone with whom he feels safe and confident--someone that will actually push him to talk about his life, his early life, his whole life. He knows he has some issues from early life. This state of depression is a result of a feeling he has about himself. He sees himself as helpless--he is not. But that’s how he has an understanding of himself. He needs someone with no judgment. (Not that his wife has--she adores him and loves him and is supportive of him but she has fear.) She’s afraid she is seeing him make choices that are destructive of his being and so there’s a part inside her that is frightened. She needs to separate from that and trust that he shall find a way.

She can help him find someone, but he must be willing. Before anything happens there must be willingness to look openly and wanting. He believed that there could be a magic bullet. Well, it took a long time to get into the state he is in so it’s going to take a long time to heal. You can’t undo it quickly, but first comes the healing of the attitude towards it. It’s not the actual cellular structures that change quickly but the understanding that lies beneath. That can happen in an instant.

So, a shift, and then it takes longer for the healing to occur?

Yes, to create the new cells and bring it forth.

So a counselor could help him make this shift?

He needs to understand that there are many choices and that he is the creator of this state he his in. Not in some anger, not in some destructive means, but in love and understanding of his being.

How the Bible came to be and its relevance now

Kristine asked about the bible and religious texts and how they came to be. Here's what we heard:

The bible was first a series of beautiful songs and stories, and then it was decided that it should be written down. That's when the stories began telling people how to be good, and how to behave, and then eventually how to be controlled. Its beginning was blissful and wonderful--stories of light and love and joy and teaching of souls and how they evolve. Then it became understood that it could be used in order to control a great numbers of people. The control came from the people who were writing it down. And then it was translated, and in that translation, it was controlled a bit more. And this is the story of all of these books. They were begun by beings full of light and love and ended up being full of control.

It’s not negative, rather it's in how its translated, how its understood and how its read. And for those that need to have this great strong structure, it is that. And for those that need to move beyond it, it works for that too. And there are beautiful stories in it still.

Who is the devil? The creation of something evil that can control. There must be a very great “bad” in order to make people good. There is no Satan. There is no Beelzebub. There is light and love. It's life-giving; it offers great growth and forward movement. If you hold this book and your being feels inspired and lightened, it is good. If you hold this book and your being feels charged with condemnation and control, well—your growth will be affected by that. Perhaps it is not the book, but where you are and what you need. There have been wars over the words in these books that were meant to fill our hearts with light and love.

Also, beings should understand that what is being written now in other books of great life and love can help beings to move forward. Understand that the condition of the human being changes as they move forward. Old ways change. You wouldn’t be expected to wear the fashion of 100 years ago. So why would you be expect to follow a text that was used to control hundreds of years ago?

They are wonderful, these teachings. They open doors and they close them. Think of them as tools for choice, for learning, for growth. Like many things, they are both positive and negative.

Animals and reincarnation, animal guides and dreams

Andrea wonders if animals can reincarnate as different animals, specifically horses to dogs.

No, each is on their own path. Not all creatures need guidance from us. Many are much more evolved and they are very able to do their work without this. Some entities of these creatures do come back and teach humans from time to time; but for themselves they do not change their vibration.

She has dreams of riding a horse that she had a strong bond with, and wants to know if this is a guide for her.

She knew this one from a previous lifetime. This one and others too. She feels humbled by all; it is part of her work. A strong connection, pure love.

She wonders about the connection in the dreams as she has the same strong feeling when she wakes up.

The dreams allow her to become one with these creatures; to be disencumbered from all of the physical world; to ride free. This is a very powerful being. She has a great desire to help the many. A teacher. She must not let others counsel her in her dreams. She must let them speak to her. They were created by her for her needs. The feeling in the body is not a dream, but a remembering.

Juls asked about her family's future

Juls is concerned about her husband’s health and its effect on their future.

She needs to understand that he is truly the one who will heal. She is not responsible for his health. She is responsible for her choices, for her love for him. There is a part of her that is frightened, angry, worried, and she needs to release that. To embrace this gift that she has now. To trust that with each opportunity she will make choices that will fortify and heal her future, her life. That if she makes choices that are for her own growth, to her understanding, she will create for herself what she needs.

She also had a question about her son who is high school and has difficulty taking tests even though he knows the work.

Yes, he has great intelligence but he doesn’t always conform to the norms that are being tested in your world. He might be more comfortable with a different form of communication, perhaps with a teacher that would give verbal tests instead of written tests. She could help by speaking on his behalf. She has not done a lot of communication with the teachers. In fact has seen them as against him instead of for him. I believe if she tries very hard she can find a form to communicate for them to be with him. This is not something to hide, or say its bad or negative. It isn’t at all. In fact he has assumed the understanding that he is not very smart when in fact he is very smart. He needs to have it openly discussed. He is very intelligent and can do these tested expectations by verbal means.

Would the school be supportive of that? Sometimes they aren’t.

If the school will not support him then she needs to remove him from there and find a place that is. Everything should be taught in a supportive way. Not a place that is condemning but in fact helping, students to reach out and be the best they can be. She can find the support for him. She has done this in always. Tell her to trust in this one’s abilities.

A child's fixation on routines

Kristine asked about her son Robert and his need to have fixed routines. This was the response.

A radiant young man. What he does is totally normal and understandable. Young beings often want to control their whole universe and all the beings in it. They feel they are the centre of the universe and thus control it. And at this point when he is going out into the world and is somewhat fearful of the unknown for he doesn’t truly know it all, although he feels he does at this point. He will try to control all small things, and even the parents and other siblings.

What mother must do is reassure at every turn that he is loved. That he is the child and she is the mother and she will always protect him and keep him safe. He must feel from both his parents that everything is steady and secure, that their bonds are good and strong, and that everything is solid at home. And then he will have the wings to fly, and not feel he must control everything. He will always be somewhat of a fuss budget, but nothing that she needs to worry about. In fact, be full of laughter about it and even bring him to laughter and understanding that this is just him. Tell her it doesn’t mean he has a learning difficulty.

Technology Glitches

The two of us met on Sunday and asked the guides for responses to a number of questions posted in the past couple of weeks. The same two entities came through--one a gentle female presence and the other a lively fellow who calls himself "the professor." Sadly, though, I ran into a problem with my new digital voice recorder and was unable to retreive the recording. This is disappointing as it means there will be a bit of a delay before we can post responses. Jane and I will set aside some time this week to do some channeling and I'll ask these questions again (as well as any new ones). This time I'll use my trusty tape recorder so I can be sure to get a useable recording of the dialogue.

Look for responses beginning next week. And thank you to everyone for submitting such interesting and varied questions.

Abuse of drugs, judgement, and states of "no growth"

Now I have a question about drugs. There are many people in this city and cities all over the world that take drugs like heroin and those kinds of drugs that make them forget their life, I guess. And it’s so damaging to our societies because they have to live a life of crime and they’re dragged down and the cities are dragged down. Is there a way of dealing with these problems? Is it the same thing? It’s growth, isn’t it?

Yes, my dear. These beings that abuse drugs are using them for the purpose of stopping growth. It is stopping everything. And that’s what these beings are trying to achieve—a state of “no growth.” They are afraid, they are so filled with pain that they cannot move forward. Some chose them out of just sheer experiment but found then that they could not move forward. It is a very difficult state in which to be in, and very often they choose to leave the physical world, because they cannot grow.

A state of “no growth” is the most dangerous state a physical being can be in. Whether it is put there by drugs or by choice, it is a dangerous state to be in. Society now shuns this and does not want to see them. Again, you talk of money; very often when there is a great need for money there is a great need for emotional tenderness or caring to happen in a society or a tribe. When the tribe or the group loses its centre and its deep love and caring for its humanity, it starts doing all sorts of obscure and strange things—eating its young, killing its young ones, doing all sorts of strange things. Aberrations occur.

In the unhealthy cell this happens as well. You’ll see this magnified many times in your physical world. Time and time again. Circles within circles. Think of your city as a circle, it has an illness. It has a cancer. It cannot cure it by moving it or shoving it out to the limits—that will just cause a difficulty in another place. Ah, so, it means—how does a society love? Go to the centre of its being. Oh what is the centre of a society’s beings—it’s mother, its child, its family. And then it works outside of it, its businesses, its organizations. Is the head (the mother) treating all the people in its business well? Is the head of the school treating all its children well? Is it being manifested through? Do you see what I mean? All of these things, they are one. So, a city must say to itself. Bring them to me. We will heal them, we will feed them, we will house them. How could any being be happy if its not living in a place of warmth. Not having anyone ever look them in the eye and say to them “you are important.”

As you have to say to all the cells in your body, that each one of them is important. That you love them. A head of a country must stay to its people, a head of a business must say to its people. The others, the animals, they do not have the same structure. They do not have the same disorder. You will not see all the members of a herd of cattle killing one because they are discordant. In fact they will often stand close watching them. They do not judge. They want to help them.

Yes, it’s this judgment, this feeling of separation.

Fear—it is centered in a need and fear is manifested.

There are too many people on this planet though.

And who says this?

Well, it seems to me that it’s very chaotic, but maybe it isn’t to do with numbers.

No, there are enough beings for there to be great growth, and this is what it is for.

Yeah, right. It’s always growth.

Yes, and growth can be very happy and pleasant too. It doesn’t always mean difficulty. It means embracing this marvelous opportunity, no matter what it is; to share a heart, a touch, to look into another eye. You know this.

So that’s what we’re here for?

Yes, to learn. And in a second growth and healing can happen. In a look deep into another that “Oh it’s alright. I’m here, you’re not alone.” None of you are alone.

Aids, drinking water, and life on other planets

We want to have some questions that are not just personal questions but relate to the state of the planet, and so we had a question about AIDS and why did it come? And why is it still proliferating, especially in Africa.

Well, there are many viruses present in your physical world. More than you have any understanding of yet. And these are very unusual structures because they do not harmonize with your physical plane. These viruses were created to create growth. This is a mutation of one, the one you are seeing now. It has jumped across lines where it wasn’t supposed to be and is now dwelling in the human physical being. Viruses came to create growth. And so this one’s mutation creates growth.

It’s so difficult to see innocent children dying and people suffering essentially because of ignorance…

Yes—and their responsibility is? To choose their path. At every point there’s a choice, my dear. It might seem that there wasn’t a choice. There is. This is not blame, not a fault. There are choices involved in all of these beings. And they are exactly where they need to be in their growing. Does it mean that they shouldn’t take a cure? No, of course not. And there are those that are working very hard to create something that blocks this virus’s ability to enter into the blood cell.

Yes, and there are drugs to help but people in Africa can’t afford them.

No, they can’t afford them but there are beings that can get it to them. And it is their growth to move in this way. No, the sick ones are not suffering at the expense of others’ growth. There is choice. They have other things they grow at as well. Each life is a microcosm of different vibrational growth—every thing, every action, every choice. I know it is difficult when you stand where you are to look at it. It is difficult for us to look at it. But we have to understand that they do move in their life, in their path, and do and choose, as they need to grow. It does not mean that you should not do what you can to help. It does not mean that they should not take the help. It means, what is evolving is as it should be. Not a deserving, not a punishment. Every element of choice is a gift. I believe you do not see this as we do, but even what might seem the worst thing is often a gift.

Yes, I know that some people have said that cancer was a gift to them, in learning.
And cancer states are their own cells that have turned inside out (although there are some viruses that cause it as well). When you understand that you and the cells are one—the cancer cell, or a virus cell, or a starving baby, or… You are all one. When all beings understand the oneness, this growing will be complete.

I think we have a long way to go.
I’m sure that all beings will proceed as they should, though there has been a remarkable growing in the last passage of time. So do not fear; there is more growth occurring spiritually now than there ever has been.

And what about the planet. Will it survive to sustain us? Will it run out of water?
No, it won’t run out of water, but will the water be drinkable? It is a closed unit that way.

I know, that worries me.
Water, in the past, has been what wars were over. And if you think of it as circles within circles my dear, you will see these wars again. There will always be a struggle to get that that is needed for those that need that growth. And there will be the great perseverance to find a way to provide it for those that need that growth. Will your great planet forgive and accept and grow? Yes. It is an amazing sphere. And new ones are being made all the time.

New planets?
Yes.

And on some of them there are life forms learning as we are learning?
Yes, of course, very much the same.
