1a : Healing Children's Diseases

Now, there's nothing we're going to saytoday that is as the world knows it, probably not asingle word. And so it would sound very strange toanyone not prepared. And as I look around at thefaces I know, we are prepared.

Now, let's take a child running on the street.

An automobile comes along and knocks the childover. And this child is now unconscious. This wouldappear to be an event that happened because thechild was careless or the driver was careless. Now,it is nothing of these things. And in order toprepare for an understanding of the healing of children, we must learn what a child is, because a

child is none of the things that we have been led tobelieve a child is.

There is a force moving through the world,independent of the man who drove the automobile,independent of the child, which against the will,against the conscious awareness of both the childand the driver brings them together, and they

crash. And the child is hurt and the law penalizesthe driver, if it was not his fault. But there is a forcemoving through the universe, which brought itabout - totally independent of the victim and thecause of the accident.



Now, this impersonal cause is alsoresponsible for that driver being present on theearth; is also responsible for that child being

present on the earth. And unless you come into anawareness of this impersonal cause, you too will bedrawn into false conclusions given to you by youreyes and your brain. And because of your falseconclusions, you will miss the mark, you will missthe truth, and you will miss the teaching, which Jesus brought to the earth - and which some, sincethen, have brought to our attention.

Now, we have a child in the sickroom crying.And you have every desire as a mother, orgrandmother, or friend, to help that child. Why is itcrying? Something hurts. What hurts? And you putyour fingers on the child's ribs or the child'sstomach to find it. But you can't really find it,

because that's not what's hurting; something elseis hurting. This same force that works through theuniverse and comes through something, andeventually touches this child's mind, and thenexternalizes itself as a pain. You're only touchingthe final end of that long chain of circumstances. You're never really getting to the basis of thechild's problem.

Now, we want to get to the basis of thechild's problem. And to do it, you might have to seethat you were something else before you were achild. And that, just as you may be a child again in



another incarnation, that child that you will be, willbe totally unaware of its previous life, which is thisone. That child will never know that you were such-

and-such in this life, that you did certain things,that you went to certain places, that you hadcertain relationships and experiences. That childwill be as completely unaware of your present self,as your present self is unaware of your past self.

Now, we will, unless we make a transition, bechildren in another human experience. And again

the world will miss the mark with us. They will notknow who we are. They will treat us as a newarrival, freshly minted. They will treat us as ahuman birth. But we will really not be that, for herewe are right now.

Now, the children that we're talking about inthis present parenthesis, they have also gone

through the various past reincarnations, and theyhave come to this place – and the world knowsthem not. The world sees them with human eyesand says, "This is a child." Certain color, certainsize, certain weight, a certain quantity and quality.And yet if that child could speak the truth of itself,it would tell you of many, many lives it has lived;

many things it has done, many places it has been.And so to try to treat this child as a child is

overlooking the reality of the identity of this child.And as long as we continue to do that, we'realways treating the surface aches and pains. And



one day this child grows up and it dies. It diesbecause it has never lived. It has never touched lifeitself and it must die – to return again to find the

life that it did not touch.Now you, at this present moment, are

nothing but a little child grown into an adult form.And unless you know where that form came from,you will never know yourself. Let's go back beforeyou were a child, let's go back to your parents. Andlet's see that they too, probably unaware of their

true identity, thought they brought forth a childinto this world, a human child.

Now when they did that, that which had noreality in God, married to that which had no realityin God, two human beings of the flesh – not ingrace, not in spirit, not in truth, not in reality - butin a false human consciousness, brought forth,

what? What could a false human consciousnessbring forth but another falseness? An out-picturingof the false human consciousness, and that out-picturing became their consciousness externalized,and they named it their child. It was you. Theynamed you their child because their senses said,"Here is flesh and blood that we have brought

forth." The false human consciousness broughtforth an appearance called a child.

Now, the false human consciousness can bringforth nothing but a false appearance. And the child,which they brought forth was a false appearance.



And that child, because it was a false appearance,had to undergo the false experiences of itself. Ithad to undergo that which was not created by God.

It had to undergo diseases. It had to undergoexperiences, which were not God-created. It had toundergo the errors that were embedded in theconsciousness that had brought it forth.

And this child, this new appearance that we allwere, was not really our self, it was instead thebringing together of two false consciousnesses to

create a third. We were that third consciousness,really born of two false consciousnesses united inthought. And because of their false consciousness,they would manifest in it all of the good and all of the evil of this world. And this coming through thefalse consciousness of the parents becomes theliving human self, called a child.

Now, up to a certain age this child is not itself atall. It is nothing more than the externalization of the consciousness of its parents. Although it wouldseem that the nine-month period had finalizedwhen the child was born, this too is the appearancein the false consciousness. And that which began,seemingly in the nine-month period, continues as

the consciousness of the parents. And it continuesto grow, because it is the consciousness of theparents unfolding.

And always, what is really happening? There isan impersonal mind outside of the false



consciousness of the two parents and it, it isforming its false concept of the divine image andlikeness of God. It is transferring that false concept

through the minds of the parents. And as that falseconcept of the universal false mind moves throughthe parents unfolding, the child grows.

It is still not itself. It is world-belief formedthrough the mind, the consciousness of the parentsinto another appearance. And the parents arecompletely under the belief that they have brought

new life into the world – and they haven't. Theyhaven't yet touched their own life, let alonebringing new life into the world. They areperpetuating the human illusion.

Now, that human illusion called a child, which wewere, continues. And at about the age of twelve,we begin to catch up with ourselves. That

consciousness, which we had developed in our pastlives, begins to edge its way through theconsciousness of our parents. They had held us inbondage completely to their beliefs, beliefs theydidn't know they even had. For example there arecertain diseases, which are transmitted from themother to the child. Let's see, there's – I think its

mononucleosis - may be the one, which the mothertransmits only to her male child.

If a mother has a child, there's one out of athousand that is born with cystic fibrosis. If amother has such a child, that one out of a



thousand almost inevitably will die within sevenyears. Ninety-five percent of them die within sevenyears after their birth. And yet, what gives them

cystic fibrosis? This is some defect in the pancreas.What gives it to them? Did God make it? Did Godcreate cystic fibrosis? Does God level down on thepancreas of an unborn child and say, "Yours,because you did something bad, you're beingpunished." Is God punishing the parents?

No, you see this is an impersonal force coming

through the consciousness of the parents, totallyunknown to them. Something is happening in theinvisible world-mind, and it translates through theconsciousness of the parents as a faulty pancreasin a child. That same force coming through theconsciousness of the child later, inevitably makes itrun in front of an automobile or makes an

automobile drive down and hit it. No one is toblame. We'd better get to know that force andthat's why we're carefully detailing how thesethings come about.

Now, all of the child diseases are transmitted,not through viruses, not through human errors, butthrough this impersonal force, this impersonal

world-belief, this impersonal mortal mind, which isthe counterfeit mind of the Father. You might sayit's the mind, which is like a shadow of your body.As your body forms a shadow walking into the sun,if that shadow became alive and acted as you, it



would be what we're trying to see is what happenswhen there is a world-mind. It is a shadow of thedivine mind. And this shadow is polarized; it's

brought into a sensitivity. And now it becomes andindividualizes itself as the mind that you think isyour mind. It individualizes itself as the mind thatyour parent thought was his mind and her mind.

Each human mind is just another name forthis shadow world-mind individualized. Andthrough it comes the beliefs, which are all animitation of the divine image and likeness. Thiscomplete imitative mind, which at best can onlyreproduce a fraction of that which it is shadowing,produces the human race, produces the materialworld, produces the complete physical structurethat we call our world.

And as our parents, unaware of this, become a

party to it, unknowingly transmitting throughthemselves the imitative beliefs of this impersonaluniversal mind, they bring forth – not the child of God – but the imitation child of God. And evenwhen that child, at the age of twelve, comes intoits own consciousness, as you did when you weretwelve, you still come under the belief, which isnow the consciousness of your past human selves

instead of the consciousness of your parents'human selves.

You come under out from under your parents'human beliefs, but you come into your own human



beliefs of past lives accumulated into this presentlife. And you're still in the imitative mind, althoughyou are now free from the bondage to your

parents' consciousness. Oh, many lingeringremnants remain, but you are basically nowoperating under your own human consciousness.No longer under your parents' humanconsciousness, but you're still in bondage to theimpersonal universal mind.

It has actually produced individual bodies on this

earth, all of which are not under the grace of God,the guidance of God, the life, the continuity of Godbecause they were not created by God. Andmankind has not known this. And mankind willcontinue to die and be reborn into another form;always thinking my mother and my father broughtme into this world. And no mother and no father

ever brought anyone into this world. There is animpersonal force that birthed this nation, this worldof nations. And it is continuing to do so.

And it is the same mind, which eventually cannotsustain itself. And so, in you as it comes through, itforms your body, which you accredited to yourparents. It forms your body. And ultimately the

mind of you, which was also formed of thisuniversal impersonal mind, is no longer able totransmit the beliefs of that world-mind and yourbody begins to deteriorate. The world-mind can nolonger sustain your body because it can no longer



sustain your mind. Your body deteriorates.Ultimately it either goes into a coma or it just dies,because it has never been a reality. It has always

been an out-picturing of the universal world-belief coming through its own creation called your humanmind. And externalizing its world beliefs throughyour human mind, which to a degree, to the degreeof your past experiences, conditions that world-belief to make you appear just this much differentthan your neighbor, whose individual mindconditions the same world-belief into his individualappearance. Always one world-belief comingthrough individual minds is conditioned by thevarious experiences of that individual mind, so thateach of us appears different.

Now, this is a backlog. Let's look at disease. Let'ssee that disease then, is as much a product of the

false impersonal universal mind, as the body thatwe appear in. And let's see how Jesus does this,because all that we are saying is just a fraction of the consciousness that stood there looking at thechildren who came to him, who were either dead ordying. Let's see how, as he stood there watchingthe daughter of a Jewish nobleman, what wasgoing on in his mind.

Here was this girl, aged twelve. Now that wasthe very age when Jesus spoke in the temple andtaught the elders. That was the very age whenlittle Samuel, so advanced that he began to



prophesy – twelve. Twelve, the age when this girlwas really coming into her own humanconsciousness out of the consciousness of her

parents. And they were going to bury that childbecause she was dying, and then she was dead.

And we see that only one person in the wide,wide world at that time could have stood there,and had to stand there, for you and I to be given atimeless truth, so that at this very moment thetruth of what he knew then, could come to us. So

that we would do much more than simply raise achild of twelve from death, but rather that wewould lift the veil of ignorance through which achild, for twelve full years, is completelymisunderstood by its own parents. Seen with falseeyes by its own parents, seen as a life that can die,by its own parents.

This is that moment for us when we are broughtto timeless truth. For we see a child, allegedlydead. And if this child were ours, we would be inthe same situation as these parents, who werecompletely grief-stricken and helpless. That whichthey had cherished twelve years before at themoment of birth; that which they had clasped to

their bosoms and said "We have brought a childinto the world." That fatal error, that fatal error wasnow being paid for twelve years later when thatsame child was dead.

Now, Jesus wasn't telling us that he was going to



raise this child from the dead. He was telling usthat every parent on this earth has made theidentical error, every single one – the exceptions

you can count on one hand. They all had claspedthis child to their bosom. They had all said, "Lookwhat we have done! We have brought a new lifeinto this world, our own flesh, our own blood - outof nowhere! We are miracle-workers! We havegreat power to bring a life into this world."

And then, although their child may not die at the

age of twelve, for those first twelve years theycompletely do not know their own child. That whichthey think is their own child, they haven't theslightest idea that the child is the very same agethat they are; that the child is the very samesubstance that they are; that the child is the verylight of the Father; that the life of that child did not

begin with a birth certificate. And not knowing this,not knowing who that child is, they see it as fleshand blood – and in that moment they havesentenced it to the ills of flesh and blood. It now isopen to the list of child diseases. It's going to getits share. It may not be mumps, it may not besmallpox, it may not be this or that; it may besome of the more serious ones. Why? Because

flesh and blood is the product - not of God - but of the imitation of God, of the false imitative universalmind, which is but the shadow of the divine.

It has placed that little bundle of humanity there.



And it will continue to rule that little bundle of humanity with a rod of iron, making it subject to itsshare of all of the evils of this world, until the very

moment when it can no longer sustain it and it willdisappear from the face of the earth and die.Unless the mother, the father, or that child itself comes out of the illusion that it is flesh and it isblood, that it is human, that it is mortal, that it isman or woman created. Until it does that, until oneof the parents does that, or the child itself, it willalways be subject to the ignorance of God. It willalways be subject to disease. It will always besubject to problems. It will always be subject towondering, "Why am I here?" and "What will Iaccomplish?" and "How shall I do it?" And thereason is that this child is nothing but a repetitionof its own past lives, come back. Come back insearch of something. In search of the very thing

that its parents are denying to it – itself, its reality.

Now, you see these words are difficult. Theywere difficult to understand when Jesus stood thereand said, "She is not dead, she is asleep." He hadfirst taken the precaution to empty the room of allof the weepers and the wailers, of all of theminstrels and the flute players. They had picnics,

you know, at these funerals; only they didn't callthem picnics. They wailed and they wept. Theyhired orchestras to make all kinds of sadlamentations. And when Jesus said, "She is notdead, she sleepeth," they laughed.



And those who scorned the truth he ordered out. This was no place now for God to show throughunbelief. But the parents, they remained. A very

wise man said the reason the parents remainedwas because they still really didn't know any truth.But Jesus was going to prepare them so that whenthis child did return, they would be prepared tohelp her know herself. They would not be alarmedby the miracle. Even though he did tell them to tellno man what you have seen. He pledged them tosecrecy because of one thing alone. He knew theycould not explain what had happened. They didn'thave the slightest idea what had happened, only Jesus knew.

Jesus knew, and this is what you and I mustlearn that he knew. He knew the identity of thechild was not what the parents thought it was. It

wasn't flesh and blood. That which had been bornto the parents was something other than theythought it was, something other than what theyhad seen with their human eyes. Had not his ownmother known the truth, which he knew at thatmoment?

This child was not born of a human mother and a

human father. It had been born of a virgin. It hadbeen born of a virgin consciousness. The reality of this child, in spite of what mortal mind wasshowing forth, was the pure undiluted eternal spiritof God. At that moment it was rescued from the



false concepts, which would bury it; concepts,which had seen it as matter and now saw it asdead matter. And it had never been living matter

or dead matter. It had never been matter at all. Ithad always been what it was, and only hisillumined consciousness knew the truth. It was thevery life of God itself, deathless and timeless andbirthless. The reality of the child had never beenborn, it was forever. It had predated all humantime. And this, you see, is something we must do inourselves. We must take the false birth out of ourminds, not only for our children but for ourselves. The flesh and blood body was never born.

Now, if you can do that for your child, you'redoing for it what Jesus did for Jairus's daughter. If you can do it for yourself, you're doing what Jesuswould have done for you. If you can do it for

yourself, you're doing that which you will have todo some other day, unless you do it now.

Each one must come to the realization that "I couldnever be born for I am the life of the Father, thespirit of the Father, the substance of the Father,the light of the Father, the very being of theFather, who is timeless and infinite and can never

be born." You must see that what is happened is that a

false imitative consciousness, called world-belief,has individualized itself as your parents and theirparents and their parents, right on back to the



Garden of Eden, right on back to the moment whenthe false world-belief individualized as Adam, asEve – or whatever names you wish to give to the

first human appearances on this earth. And therepetition, through their false consciousness, of new births and new births and new births, eachliving under the false consciousness of its parents,then emerging into its own false consciousness,then returning after death to begin again – thecycle of ignorance of God. This is where we standthis moment.

This is where Jesus stood two thousand yearsago. And this must be broken! It must be broken inyou for yourself, in you for your children, in you foryour grandchildren, in you for every person whowalks the face of the earth – be they child or adult. You must look through the form to see that that,

which stands before me, was never born. Neverwas it born, for never has there been a birth in thehistory of the kingdom of God. Never has one birthoccurred in the kingdom of God, and there is noother kingdom. The false imitative world is wherebirth occurs.

To be re-born is to overcome the belief in human

birth. To be re-born is to come to that point inconsciousness where you have nullified, crucified,annihilated the belief in your presentconsciousness that you were born of the flesh, of amortal parent. For that belief is a lie about your



own immortal self, and is the lie about the child of God, which is indestructible, which is forever,which is as perfect as your Father which is in

heaven.Now, this is a difficult thing to do. But it's less

difficult when you know it must be done. And evenless difficult when you know why it must be done.For the complete history of man is his search forhis true self. And conditioned at birth, he is unableto break through that conditioning to find his true

self.In one of the gospels - although this is reported

in three of them - in Mark, Jesus says, to the littlegirl as she awakens "Talitha cuma!" And althoughit's not mentioned in the gospel of Luke or of Matthew, there they merely say it says, "Maidarise!" But it really means little lamb, little lamb.

He was the lamb of the Father, you see, and herehe is seeing one who is doing something quitedifferent than just being resurrected into a newhuman consciousness. He is seeing one that he hashelped come into Christi. The resurrection of thedaughter of Jairus is the illumination of that childinto the realization that "I am not flesh and blood; I

am living spirit of the Father."An important thing to know there is that Jesus

standing there before this child, is really theoutpicturing of that child's own inner spirit. Theinner Christ of that child appears to us as Jesus.



And the realization of Jesus, on the outside, isreally the Christ realization of the girl within. Wemust make a breakthrough. We must find a place

where we can break through the false humanconsciousness of ourselves, in order to find thisinvisible Christ of our being, which is not subject toworld-belief.

Now, when Jesus stood there, this was arepetition of other forms of resurrection, whichtook place in various moments of his ministry. And

in each case there was a complete realization of the allness of God. Now, this realization of theallness of God allows for no human selfhood to beborn or to die.

And I think we can have an experience, whichwill enable us to see just a measure of what we willeach have to go through, and what he had already

gone through in the wilderness. The wildernesswhere he sat in the wilderness of human belief,slowly letting himself dissolve this belief throughthe spirit intervening. And as the human beliefs inhim dissolved, he was able then to come forth afterforty days with a spiritual consciousness, whichcould see no man after the flesh, no dying child

after the flesh. No child to be raised up, only theever-present invisible Christ.

Now, let's do this - there is a world-belief thathas put you in a chair here. And there is also thebreaking through of the light, which to a measure



has dissolved some of the world-belief, still leavingyou in a physical form, subject to some of theworld-beliefs coming through the physical form,

which world-belief itself has put here.Now, in between world-belief and your physical

form is your human mind. World-belief has formedyour human mind so that it may transmit itself through the human mind it has formed, into yourbody, making your body, guiding your body,misleading your body. And this sequence has to be

broken. When you break this sequence for amoment, you find something very interesting willhappen. When you break this sequence, the humanmind is no longer acting as a channel for world-belief, and so the human body, for that moment, isfreed from world-belief. Freed from the appearanceof death or disease, or whatever may be attacking

it – or seeming to attack it.Now, if you had something wrong, and blood was

flowing out of your arm, you would apply atourniquet. You would take something and youwould wrap it around that arm between the woundand the heart. You would wrap it so tight that theblood flowing would be stopped in the vein or

artery, which controlled that particular portion of your anatomy. And the blood would not flow out;the tourniquet would have stopped the flow.

Now, we want to apply a tourniquet to thehuman mind, to stop the flow of world-belief



through it into the form. And so, the tourniquet youapply is the knowledge of truth, and then the greatSabbath – the vast silence in which your human

mind is at rest. And when the human mind hasbeen brought to rest, you have applied atourniquet. And now all of the evil in world-belief,struggling to move through the human mind finds –it's like the blood in your veins that tried to getthrough to pour out through the wound. Thebandage was too tight; the blood couldn't flowthrough the veins or the artery. And so here too,the silence is the tourniquet; world-belief cannotflow. The human mind has been shut off as achannel. And lo and behold, Maid, arise from your sleep! or Stretch forth thine arm! or Pick up thy bed and walk!

Now, we have a silence imposed upon the world-

belief that there is evil, and it cannot enter throughthe silent human mind. And so the human body ismomentarily released from world-belief. Alldisease, all problems, even the appearance of death, are thus released. But can you impose thesilence upon the human mind?

Now, the word, which describes the silence you

must impose upon the human mind, to stop thecontinuity of world-belief coming through thehuman mind into visible form – that silence thatyou impose, is accomplished by a change inconsciousness.



Now, Jesus had undergone the change inconsciousness. And in the change inconsciousness, he no longer had a human mind. It

wasn't there. He didn't have to impose silence on itany more – it was dead. He had overcome world-belief by overcoming the belief that he had ahuman mind. He no longer had a humanconsciousness. And now you must face this. Aslong as you have a human mind, as long as youhave a human consciousness, it will transmit world-belief, because it is part of world-belief. It is formedby world-belief. That human mind, that humanconsciousness is the child of world-belief, and itmust transmit world-belief.

Now, your tourniquet must be imposed upon itthrough a change of consciousness, which slowlystrangles out the belief in the livingness, the

reality, the truth, of a human mind, of a humanconsciousness. And you can do this by slowdegrees, as you've been doing. And then you cantake a step in which you realize that God being all,God being the only self, the one infinite self, theone infinite being, the one infinite life – God couldnever re-create God as something less than Itself.God could never re-create God as something less

than its own divinity. God could never dilute Godinto humanhood. God could never dilute perfectioninto imperfection. God could never dilute infinitelife into temporary life that must die. God couldnever make the infinite finite. That which is always,



is. And because God is this infinite one life, andthere is no other, there could never have been anindividual human life to be born, or to die - or to

suffer in between.And now I erase from my consciousness all

belief, all memory, all experiences, all ideas, allconcepts that had to do with that which happenedto the me that apparently was born, for it neverwas. I am this same eternal self, which is one withthe Father, never born, never dying. And this is the

meaning of Melchizadek, without birth, withouthuman life, without death – and this is truth. Andas you erase it in yourself, as you work with it, youare undoing the lie of the centuries, which has re-projected you time and time again into humanform, always blaspheming the truth of the oneinfinite self, without opposite, without birth,

without temporary life, without imperfection,without disease, without death.

You are coming into the realization then of thegreat truth of your own being. And that will occurwhen you stand forth in the realization that I havenever been born. As you feel that come uponyourself, as that realization deepens, you will see

that that which was never born could never havesuffered the various human sufferings that youthink.
