We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Rosemary Altea, a gifted, uncommon clairvoyant, in her riveting autobiography,
The Eagle and the Rose, she conveys a remarkably soul-stirring story:
One of my aims, working as a medium, is to teach you, all of you who would come to learn, in the same way that I too have been taught, to give you a greater understanding that life is an adventure, a learning experience that, if embraced, will help us grow. In that growing we can discover the spirit self and truly know who we are. Death is a door that we all must walk through, and it is that spirit self that, discarding the physical body, will take us on to continue our lives, learning and growing as we go.
I am fortunate that I was born with, and have recognized, the awareness of the spirit world. I am of the universe even as I live my life on the earth plane, and with that knowledge I have been able through time to face my fears and to deal with them. Consequently my life has become more and more fulfilled and fulfilling. Truthfully I cannot say if, at the moment of my death, I will race through that door willingly, for even now the thought of leaving behind friends and family, particularly my daughter, saddens me. I feel sure that I will be apprehensive about the journey to come, but I know it will take but a moment before I see the light that will show me the path that is mine to follow. I know too that I am, even on the earth, walking a path that is also lit if I care to look. This makes me unafraid of life.
"Thank God for the gift to heal."
How can I explain how healing works? When I talk of energy, universal ... God ... energy, that healing energy which a healer can "plug" into in the same way we might use electricity, I liken it to that same electric power, unseen and intangible, but nevertheless just as real and much more powerful. A healer will, using mind ... thought ... energy, project a thought out to the universe. The universe receives this thought, this pulse of energy, which is then transmitted back to the healer and then on through to the patient. As far as the patient and the healer are concerned, this is, even though so powerful, still a gentle art... The patient will inevitably relax, often going into a gentle sleep state, and will wake feeling calm, settled, and at peace. Although the healer will have concentrated on the physical body, he/she will also, and again using in a constructive way the energy that has been created, have been aware of and given healing to the spirit self, the light of the soul.
In the same way, using mind energy connected with universal, God energy, we can give absent or distant healing. Projecting our thoughts forward and by concentrating our healing thoughts out toward a patient, those thoughts that are pure energy, healing energy, will travel through time and space to reach the person to whom it is directed. Healing, healing energy, knows no bounds. No distance is too far...
