from Letter Twenty-Six “Health and Death”

...“Are there any diseases or imbalances, that cannot be cured?”

There is no imbalance that cannot be balanced by Source. Source is the central
generator of life force, of all expression and experience. It is the architect of all forms
in duality, and therefore, the creator of balance itself. All forms of alignment ultimately
point to Source.

“So, you’re telling me that all human illnesses are the result of an alignment problem?

Following this theory, it is no wonder that human disease is so rampant: The average
human knows next to nothing about alignment with Source or life force.”
I understand, of course, that this was the case for humans. You did not possess such
sensitivity. That situation is almost unimaginable to us. You did have meditation,
prayer and positive thinking, which helped. But, unfortunately, it was not enough in
most cases to correct very serious illnesses.

“I can’t escape the feeling that it’s our fault somehow when we get sick, like we did
something wrong to be out of alignment.”

You had, in fact, created your illnesses and misalignment, but there is no fault or
blame in your predicament. You had not developed the power of awareness that we
have. Humans did not know the truth lying right inside themselves. But you did have
access to Source if you chose it. The suggestions I gave you earlier are all directed
toward assisting in this: Notice; do not use your energy for resistance; find your
authenticity; expand your awareness beyond mind; accept the moment as yourself; and only
take action upon inner alignment.

“So, to cure any disease, all we need to do is figure out how to align with Source!
That’s what you’re saying?”

[The old man has been observing silently, but now he speaks again.] ‘It is not a
matter of figuring out; that is a mental function. But in essence you are right. Simply
take the mind out of that equation.

‘This is not a trivial issue, however. The alignment we’re talking about is nothing less
than the profound awakening of spirit—that which humans never achieved as a
whole species. Without the awakening in each individual and in the whole
population, true alignment was not possible. Humans suffered greatly in many ways;
illness of the body was bad enough. But the greatest of all, was the suffering caused
by ignorance of true consciousness within. That is, of course, what misalignment with
Source really means. This became the driving force in the ultimate mutation into
homo evigilo.’

“Can we humans learn from what you’re sharing with me? Can we be healthier by
being more in touch with Source?”

Yes, indeed. Recall my suggestion to you regarding authenticity. If you reach within,
to that true conscious being, you will find the power of any and all action. Healing is
one of those actions. Authenticity is the health-giving connection, as I believe I said
before. Authenticity is alignment and identification with Source.

“Yes. I do remember. Thanks. What about death then? Why do you die if you don’t
have to have illnesses?”

[The old man looks on serenely but alert, hands folded in his lap. He is participating
with us through his silent gaze.]
Remember another thing I told you about evolution. Death is an important function
in evolution, just as important as birth. When it arrives, we embrace it with the full
vigor of the soul...
