Illness and Spirituality — Spotify from the CEC Library

Today's topic is illness and spirituality. A listener asks: "On several occasions, I have heard you say that our physical illnesses are produced by ourselves." That is true; I have said this before, and I continue to say it. "I would like to understand it better and know how we manage to produce these illnesses." We follow a path on this Earth through many reincarnations. It is not three or four reincarnations—if you had only four, you would be a baby. You have hundreds of reincarnations on this planet, and over those hundreds, you develop emotional processes that you carry from one life to another.

Do you want to understand how the illness process works? Imagine that someone is very harsh with you at some point and that, from then on, you begin to feel a particular pain. Has this ever happened to you? For example, you work at a company, your boss is somewhat aggressive, and when he speaks to you, you feel ill. You then return home with back pain, feeling heavy and irritable.

We constitute our illness in various ways. One is by being what we are; the other, because we are what we are, is by living in similar environments. This is what you will experience in your life through the process of various reincarnations. Reflect on our past as human beings, living in very restrictive conditions with authoritarian and evil people. We are not talking about someone else but about ourselves.

Imagine the level of consciousness we had 500 years ago. It was very low: hygiene was difficult, and respect for others was based on rules and laws, many of which were convenient. Human beings had not yet learned to use what truly matters: common sense. Common sense consists of having consciousness and being able to share space with others. A person with common sense always acts while taking others into consideration and seeking to improve the world. Today, we see a very low level of consciousness: deforestation and pollution of the water and air.

You gradually constitute your illness through your emotional processes, and those processes are your responsibility. What you are determines what you will be in the future; you are now in order to become the result of that later. You are your own heir; do not try to escape this because it will not work. Do not try to resign from yourself because you will not succeed. This is how it is: experience throughout life and eternity, together with yourself. Therefore, the only way out I see is for you to truly improve what you are.

Then you will ask: how do I do that? First, the energy you produce with your emotions is not of good quality. You will say, "But I am good." Look closely at yourself and your emotional contents: your jealousy, often for no reason at all; your anger, often also without reason; your desire to take revenge on someone else; your grudges; your hurt. I am speaking only about things we produce. Most of the time, people produce this type of energy through the emotions they experience because they are not conscious of what it causes within them. It is therefore important for you to know this, think about it, and even learn more about it.

If you lived alone on this planet, on a mountain, doing your own things without relating to anyone else, you would certainly live for many, many years without any problem. Being affected by illness—that is, contracting an illness—is the result of an emotional process of your own that you are unable to handle. So, to the person who asked about illness: we really do create our illnesses; actually, we do not create them, but we make them.

This society is pathological. For you to see more clearly, you need enlightenment, not those palliatives, that business of patting someone on the head; that will not help you grow and evolve. I am talking about evolution, not about making you feel better. If you come close to me and I say, "You are doing well; your face looks beautiful," you will feel better, but I have changed nothing in you; you only feel temporarily better. So, if you want to resolve your life and free yourself from everything you have created, you will need sufficient enlightenment to do so.

A listener asks: "Moisés, I apply Reiki to a woman who has a very serious illness. I would like to know whether Reiki applied every day can help reverse this illness." You are not telling me what the illness is. This subject is important because human beings create many difficulties and cannot simply be happy. Let me explain something about energy: if this person has a serious illness, you need to think—is she continuing to produce the illness?

Why is it this way? I see curing another person as nearly impossible. I am not saying it is impossible because you can do some things that greatly improve the person, but sustaining that is another matter. For example, if I were to do energy work with you, I could improve your condition, but how would I sustain it so that you leave the process if you continue producing your illness?

You therefore need to observe how this person thinks and acts because she may be constantly producing her own illness. Nothing you do will help: you can practice Reiki, circulate the energy, and improve her condition temporarily, but the moment you stop, she continues producing the illness. Let me give you an idea: if you conduct three ten-minute Reiki sessions per day—let us suppose that is the case; I am giving an example so we can examine the time—then, in the end, you have performed 30 minutes of Reiki per day. There are 23 hours and 30 minutes when you are doing nothing, and she will be working against you. Just think about that.

If she is producing the illness, you will not succeed unless you maintain what she is. It is impossible for us, as consciousnesses, to maintain that. So, what we commonly say—that someone placed a hand on another person's head and performed a miracle—should be reconsidered. It is better to reflect on this and recognize the incoherence of believing that we can cure another person.

You say: then is there no way to cure someone? No, you only improve the person a little, and it is temporary. When can we bring about improvement? When the other person wants to improve and acquires enough knowledge to make the internal change. So, if you administer Reiki to someone or perform laying on of hands—it does not need to be Reiki; it may be at the Messianic Church, where Johrei is practiced, in the Mahikari practice, which also performs laying on of hands, or in Spiritism, where laying on of hands is practiced—there is Pranic healing, Reiki, and other approaches. These are forms of energy work that should be preceded by enlightenment because there is no point in performing laying on of hands if the person works against what you are doing.

The person needs to learn—which is very important—so that she can help. She should decide to change certain behaviors and thus begin a different path. We are working together: I send energy so that you will change, and you are willing to change. In this way, the situation already changes. However, laying on of hands is only a palliative, not the cure; it is an aid to what you are able to do. Even so, the person also needs to change.

When you ask whether Reiki applied every day can help reverse an illness, I cannot answer because I do not know what type of illness it is. Every illness has an emotional origin. As a result of this dysfunctional emotional component, you may make a physical illness chronic, as well as make the presence of unwanted companions chronic, worsening the illness. Through your thoughts and feelings, you may attract spirits close to you who disrupt your life; some may even be ill, and you end up feeling the effects of their illness. Through an act of laying on of hands, you may suddenly drive them away temporarily.

You say you are feeling better. But if you continue producing the same thoughts, the spirits return. A listener asks: "I have a question: when an adult or an elderly person becomes bedridden by illness, we accept it, but when a child suddenly discovers an incurable illness, I cannot accept it. What ordeal does this child have to undergo?"

It is easy to answer; you will understand it better. First, there are no children. The spirit is very old. All of us are old. When we are born, we are babies and believe that the spirit is born at that moment. In fact, the spirit has already passed through centuries. Thus, every spirit has been young and has been old. I recently told someone that I do not see anyone as young.

No one is young. You need only observe people's auras: some people are 12 and others are 60; the aura of someone who is 60 may be even more intense. There is no baby; at birth, a person is already hundreds of thousands of years old. The first thing to consider is the emotional processes. There is no young soul or spirit; it merely appears in a newer body.

When we speak of an ordeal, there is no such thing as an ordeal. If we consider a baby to be a young body, it seems that if something happens to the baby, someone up above is saying, "Look, my friend, you are going to pay." I am trying to demystify this. We are the results of everything we do throughout various lives. I have said this before, and I repeat it: write down that we are our own heirs. That is the truth. Therefore, one cannot place the blame on someone else.

We blame our neighbor, our parents, God, and everything else, except ourselves. So, let us do the following: take responsibility for what we are and for our suffering so that we can resolve it. Otherwise, you will not be able to follow any path. If the other person is to blame, you bear no responsibility and need to do nothing. In fact, "need to do nothing" is the correct phrase. Think about it.

If someone is born with an incurable illness, you can be certain that they bring with them the full capacity to produce that condition. When we see a child feeling ill, the question arises: what should we do? Why does the child have to go through this? Karma is the result of our emotional processes. From now on, begin freeing yourself from these processes. You may say that you are well, but you need to reflect on what you produce emotionally because, at some point, you will encounter what you generated. There is no way to avoid it; we always encounter ourselves. You can therefore reconsider this issue now. Through astral projection, you can discover who you truly are, gain a sense of God, and begin to demystify many things—all the saints, gurus, and masters—seeing the true dimension of what we are.
