Angels are created beings higher than man, lower than
Archangels. They work with man, and nature ..apes, animals and flowers.
Invisible Helpers are not only Angels, and Archangels, but men and women able to function in their higher vehicles at night on
the
inner planes. Some are formed into bands and some are not; some
remember their experiences while many do not. Those who perform
"loving, self-forgetting service" during their daily lives become fit
to serve as Invisible Helpers at night working from the invisible planes.
How the Rosicrucians Heal the Sick
The Rosicrucian work of
healing is carried on by the Elder Brothers of The Rosicrucian Order through a band
of Invisible Helpers whom they are instructing. The work is
conducted according to the commands of Christ Jesus, namely, "Preach the
gospel and heal the sick." These are high spiritual Beings through whom
the Christ Spirit is working for the benefit of humanity. THE INVISIBLE HELPERS The
Invisible Helpers are those who live a worthy life of helpfulness during the
daytime while in their physical bodies, and whose evolutionary development is
such as to earn the privilege of being helpful through the instrumentality of
the Elder Brothers at night while functioning in the etheric bodies. This is
indicated in the words of the Rosicrucian Fellowship Evening Service:
"Tonight while our physical bodies are peacefully resting in sleep, may we
as Invisible Helpers be found faithfully working in the vineyard of
Christ." These Invisible Helpers are gathered together in bands according
to their temperaments and their abilities. They are instructed by other Helpers
who are physicians, and all of them work under the guidance of the Elder
Brothers, who naturally are the moving Spirits of the whole
work. Not infrequently, patients are aware of the presence of
the Invisible Helpers. RIGHT LIVING NECESSARY FOR A CURE The
Invisible Helpers never refuse to answer an appeal for help, but in order to
respond to the divine Healing Force, patients must adopt the gospel of right
living. They should observe a pure diet--meatless, insofar as it is possible.
Meat should be left off gradually, however, in order that the body may adjust
itself to the change. Patients must fill their living and sleeping rooms with
pure air, their minds with pure thoughts, and their daily lives with pure
actions. The divine Healing Force is pure. If someone asks for it in order to
be relieved of ailments, he or she must be willing to conform to the natural
laws of purity: pure air, pure food, pure thinking, and pure living! If the
patient ignores these great health-giving factors, he may have called in vain
upon the divine Healing Force. HEALING FORCE All Healing
Force comes from God, our heavenly Father, the Great Physician of the Universe;
it is latent everywhere; by prayer and concentration it is liberated and
directed to the sufferer; it manifested through the Master, Christ Jesus; it goes
forth from the daily and weekly healing meetings held at the Rosicrucian
Fellowship Headquarters (Oceanside, California). Through the workings of this
supreme Force, the Invisible Helpers raise the vibrations of the patient to a
higher rate, thus enabling him, first, to eliminate the disease poison from the
system, and second, to rebuild every blood corpuscle, fibre, tissue, and organ
until the whole body is made new. This is done, not in a miraculous manner, but
in accordance with Nature's Laws. If the patient continues to break these laws
and, by a wrong mode of living, to accumulate poisonous substances in the
system, he frustrates the healing Work. CAUSE OF DISEASE
The wonderful organism called the human body is governed by immutable natural
Laws. All disease results from willful or ignorant
violation of Nature's Laws. People are ill because, in this Earth life or in a
previous one, they have disregarded the fundamental principles on which the
health of the body depends. If they wish to regain and retain their health,
they must learn to understand these principles and to regulate their daily
habits in conformity with them. This is what the Master
Healer, Christ Jesus, meant when He said to the man who was a cripple:
"Thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto
thee." (John 5:14) Even the Christ could not give lasting health unless
the recipient of the Healing Force refrained from indulging wrong habits which
cause disease. The recipient had to live in obedience to the god-given laws
that rule man's body and his relations with his fellow creatures. THE RIGHT TO HEALTH Some people
"demand" perfect health and claim they have a right to it. They
forget that, either in this or a former life, some
have forfeited their God-given right through disobedience to Nature's Laws
which are God's Laws. Through suffering, they have to learn obedience. When
they have mastered their lessons and are willing to "sin no more,"
their right to health will be restored to them. VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OF HEALTH
The divine Healing Force is constructive; wrong methods of living which
disregard the Laws of Nature are destructive. The omissions
and transgressions responsible for wrong living and, consequently, for disease
are many. The following are the principal ones: unnatural food; too much food;
ill-proportioned food; lack of fresh air and sunshine; lack of cleanliness;
lack of self-control; sleeping in unventilated rooms; harboring
thoughts of anger, hatred, and resentment; yielding to a hasty temper;
gratifying low desires; harming fellow creatures, whether human or animal;
abusing the sacred generative function. Since all organs and functions of the
body are interdependent, the abuse and consequent affliction of one part hurts
all the others, furthers the accumulation of disease poison throughout the
system, and lowers the vitality of the whole. Local symptoms are actually
evidence that the whole body is at fault. All true healing, therefore, in order
to achieve lasting results, is directed, not to the suppression of symptoms,
but to the removal of the cause that made the symptoms appear. SPIRITUAL HEALING
Spiritual healing operates on the higher planes of being but is effected in
strict adherence to Natural Laws which prevail below as above. Consequently,
all natural therapeutics applied on the physical plane are
in harmony with the work of the Invisible Helpers on the higher planes. RIGHT FOOD IS NATURAL MEDICINE
Since the body is built up of the physical substances introduced into the blood
by the daily food, right food is the natural medicine which the patient must
take in order to cooperate with the Invisible Helpers in their task of
reconstructing his system. EFFLUVIA TRANSMITTED IN WEEKLY REPORT Before
the Invisible Helpers can work with the patient they must have effluvia from
his vital body. This is the etheric counterpart of the physical body and the
operating sphere of the vital forces. The effluvia are obtained by having the
patient write a weekly letter consisting of a few words or a few lines with pen
and ink. This is important, as a pen charged with fluid is a greater conductor
of magnetism than a dry pencil. The ether which thus impregnates the paper upon
which the patient writes week by week gives an indication of his condition at
the time of writing, and furnishes an entrance key to his system. It is
something which he has given voluntarily and for the express purpose of
furnishing access to the Invisible Helpers. Unless the patient does his part in
this respect, the Invisible Helpers are unable to do anything for him, so it
may be seen that it is of the utmost importance to keep up the weekly letters
to Headquarters. TIME
REQUIRED FOR CURE Instantaneous cures are frequent
when the Invisible Helpers are called upon to assist in cases of acute disease.
In the case of a chronic ailment which is of long standing and has taken years
to develop, a certain amount of relief may be experienced immediately; complete
recovery, however, which is equivalent to a renewal of the whole system,
usually can be achieved only in gradual stages. As said before, the healing
work of the Invisible Helpers is not suppression of symptoms but reconstruction
of the whole system. This reconstruction requires time as well as the patient's
faithful and constant cooperation along the lines indicated. HEALING MEETINGS AT
HEADQUARTERS Healing meetings are held at Rosicrucian
Headquarters on nights when the Moon is in Cardinal Signs of the Zodiac (Aries,
Cancer, Libra and Capricorn). The hour of this service is 6:30 PM. The virtue
of the Cardinal Signs is the dynamic energy which they infuse into every
enterprise started under their influence. Therefore, the healing thoughts of
helpers all over the world are endowed with added power when launched upon their
errands of mercy under this cardinal influence. If you would
like to join in this work, sit down quietly when the clock in your place of
residence points to the given hour, 6:30 PM, meditate on health and divine
love, and pray to the Great Physician, our Father in Heaven, for the
restoration to health of all who suffer, particularly those who have applied to
Headquarters.
