John of God vs. 'Assumed Imperative'

This month myself and many other readers upon visiting The Drudge Report learned that there recently has been a plethora of sexual abuse accusations against renowned Brazilian healer John of God (João de Deus).  During the last ten days at the Drudge website, a succession of links to news reports about various allegations of impropriety have been presented.  The sexual abuse accusations follow a pattern similar to occurrences associated with what has come to be known as the 'Me Too' movement.  Hopefully, when João is permitted to respond to finding himself in this sad predicament, people around the world will have an opportunity to become better educated about the phenomena of channeling, a revived spiritual dispensation for the Aquarian Age.  
 
Unless João becomes an unfortunate victim to some biased 'lynch mob' mentality, all of the questions will be answered in due time.  He is a public figure in Brazil.  Devoted to his healing vocation and his center in Abadiânia, he is commonly known to be a humanitarian who has never lived an opulent lifestyle.

Shown below are two December 14 links from a page of The Drudge Report that I printed out.
 

 

Emma Bragdon, Ph.D. reported about the healer in her book Spiritual Alliances: Discovering the Roots of Health at the Casa de Dom Inácio (2002) — 
 

João de Deus has been studied by teams of legitimate scientists from Russia, Germany, the USA, Japan and France.  Pathology tests reveal that the tumors, substances and tissues the Entity removes from the sick are indeed human tissues from the individuals operated upon.  The most extensive study on João's work lasted two years, was published in Portuguese through a Brazilian university, and made available to the public in 1997.  João encourages research into his healing abilities in the hope that medical science can make use of his successes in the treatment of humankind.
 

The scientists who studied João are convinced of his capabilities, but bewildered as to how to handle the information.

This video is one of five videos recommended for viewing by people who aren't knowledgeable about authentic 'channeling.'

 

As chronicled in a 2014 telecast of "60 Minutes Australia", John of God was previously subject to the incursion of a TV news reporter motivated by the assumed imperative that John of God was "the worst of humans . . . who [merely] claims to work miracles and heal the sick . . ."  In a previous article I defined 'assumed imperative' as a form of 'corporate thinking' where a group of individuals ignorantly or duplicitously contribute to making a decision or judgment without accepting personal responsibility for the actions of their principality (company/government/agency/organization).
 
As I've commented before — when considering the perspective fostered by a news outlet, the reader should keep in mind that it is an individual reporter, editor or executive who selects which opinions are to be publicized.  It is easy to deduce that corporate executives would be concerned about how the uneducated public, advertisers or government officials would respond to the unfamiliar data about João. 

Something being overlooked in many of the recent news articles are the facts about the impressive healing center of João's that has been documented in many books and noncommercial YouTube documentary videos.  João works as a channel in association with what are usually called 'Control' or 'Spirit Guides' to facilitate healings when improvement for a patient is possible.  João himself has always attributed to 'God' the healing that occur and has never claimed that everyone who comes to the Casa has the potential to be healed.
 
One of the difficulties with the accusations against João concerns the phenomena of trance 'channeling' — historical records such as those about the Oracle at Delphi show this to be a natural aspect of human life on Earth since the dawn of earthly civilizations.  Some of the women now suspicious that they could have been abused may not understand João's mentality and circumstances as a trance channeler.  João himself is not conscious while 'in entity' and therefore will have no memory of channeling intervals. 
 
Considering the predicament of readers learning about the abuse accusations, the articles generally have completely overlooked 76-year-old João's record of conscientiously helping so many people during recent decades.  It is also evident that young people in particular may not comprehend how a man of his age does not have the libido sometimes associated with perpetrators of sexual abuse.

 

For decades João Teixeira da Faria known as 'John of God' has been successfully treating patients at his internationally known healing center in the presence of patients and staff members, including numerous volunteers.  The following introductory paragraph about the trance medium is found in the book John of God: The Brazilian Healer Who's Touched the Lives of Millions (2007) by Heather Cumming and Karen Leffler:
 

He leaves his body in complete trust to the care of disembodied spirits called Entities, all of whom were remarkable people during their own physical lives.  This form of embodiment is known as incorporation.  These transcendent spirits are able to use Medium João's body to produce cures by performing visible and invisible spiritual surgeries.  Medium João can incorporate approximately thirty-seven Entities, but only one Entity can be incorporated at a time.  This specific Entity may change, however, depending upon the needs of an individual patient.  In addition to the Entity incorporated at any given time, there is a highly evolved group of thousands of spirits who actually work on a person while the incorporated Entity oversees the healing.  This group is referred to as his phalange.  One spirit might specialize in diabetes or heart problems, another in emotional afflictions.  These Entities serve humanity in the hopes of alleviating pain and suffering on the earthly plane.  This service is part of their evolutionary process.  John of God has fulfilled his mission as a medium for over forty-eight years (since approximately 1958) and has participated in the healing of over eight million people.

  

The Friends of the Casa de Dom Inácio website gives some data about the healing center:

Brazil’s Casa de Dom Inácio is the healing center of world-renowned João Teixeira da Faria, who is unquestionably one of the most powerful spiritual healers living today.  João de Deus (John of God), as he is affectionately known, has devoted his life to mediumship.  Through him, spirit entities minister to the multitudes who come in search of a cure.

Australia’s Robert Pellegrino-Estrich brought João to the attention of English-speaking people with the publication of his book The Miracle Man in 1997.  Since then, thousands have visited the Casa from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, South Africa and Europe.

The Casa is a mecca for healing on many levels.  João incorporates over 30 entities who were physicians, theologians, therapists, and notable figures in their lifetimes.  João sits in-entity (unconscious, taken over, or "overshadowed," by an entity from the spiritual plane) scans you, sees what you need, and uses various healing methods to help with your healing.  He receives all who queue to see him.  No matter how long the lines, no one is turned away, even if consultations must continue well into the night.  As many as 3000 per day have come.  At this writing, due to the depressed Brazilian economy, 150-300 is typical.  There is no charge for attending the Casa sessions and consulting the entities.  However, following a course of treatment at the Casa usually involves auxiliary items which cost money.

Healing is a personal and transformative process which generally unfolds over a period of time.  Your healing may be physical, emotional, mental, spiritual – or all of these.  Some people experience almost immediate healing; others recover over time, and some may require subsequent visits.

Spend as much time as you can in the current rooms in meditation and prayer.  Contemplate your healing and highest good.  Support your healing process by maintaining a positive attitude and following the simple dietary and operation-aftercare rules.

Some of the visitors have made substantial sacrifices to manage the long journey to Abadiânia.  Open your heart to them and to the divine gifts which abound in this sacred place of love and healing.

Here is the 'news tip' I sent to The Drudge Report website after reading the articles from the links provided on December 14:

A profile article about past media coverage re: John of God is available at https://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com/2013/11/john-of-god-and-media.html - a knowledgeable reader is an unbiased reader.  

During the following days, new links were posted at The Drudge Report in relation to developments in the proceedings involving John of God.  Along with a few brief Reuters and Bloomberg news agency releases was a "Page Six" article link about the healer losing his "celeb following."  A December 19 Daily Mail headline is: "Supernatural' events terrify police while interrogating celebrity medium John of God over sexual abuse claims as computer 'takes on life of its own' and electrical appliances short circuit".  Also on the 19th, an AP headline gave the statement "Brazil faith healer tried to withdraw millions before arrest" with the news release consisting of six sentences:

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Court documents show that a Brazilian spiritual healer tried to withdraw nearly $9 million before surrendering to police on charges of rape.

The documents seen by The Associated Press are part of a judge's ruling rejecting bail for Joao Teixeira de Faria, who is known as Joao de Deus, or John of God.

Fagner Pinho of the prosecutor's office also said Wednesday that investigators found firearms and large quantities of cash in a house used by de Faria as a spiritual retreat.

Hundreds of people have come forward with allegations of rape and threats of violence by de Faria.  Many say they were underage at the time of the abuse.

De Faria turned himself into police on Sunday.

  

There has been no chance as of yet for João to respond to these allegations that are not explained in precise detail.

In addition to the links presented at The Drudge Report, I found an article in The New York Times that at least gave João's situation a more considerate approach considering 'rushing to conclusions': "Celebrity Healer in Brazil Is Accused of Sexually Abusing Followers".  The following is an excerpt:
 

The scandal began when several women provided similar accounts of unwanted sexual advances in interviews with a Brazilian television show that aired last weekend.

On Monday morning, dozens of other women came forward with more reports of uninvited sexual advances to news organizations and to the district attorney’s office in the state of Goiás, which set up a task force that includes five prosecutors and two psychologists.

In a day and a half, the task force received 78 complaints, said Patrícia Otoni, one of the prosecutors.  “We have a serious challenge ahead,” she said.  “We want to show the victims that they can trust us, that even someone who is famous and internationally admired can be investigated.  But we also need to analyze each complaint before rushing to conclusions.”

Mr. Faria denies the accusations, according to a spokesman, Mario Rosa, who said the mounting accusations had taken on a “lynch mob” quality.

“It’s like this person is being turned into a villain for the world to see,” Mr. Rosa said.

The article about one patient telling her abuse story offers a description of the incident of 'abuse' said to have taken place six years ago (as translated to English).  The accusation is made that the healer caught her hand and put it on his private part:  " . . .  behind.  It was hanging out of pants, limp."  Then: "I pulled my hand back.  João de Deus said that that's how it was it [the realignment (of energy)] was, that part was important."  The woman said that he tried again to put her hand on his private part.  "I  reacted.  'What's that?  This is not right.'  I turned around.  He went back to his office and sat on a couch . . ."  

 

A Washington Post article includes the statement: "More than 300 women from around the world have contacted prosecutors to accuse him of abuse, largely after Globo TV aired the stories of numerous women in Brazil’s first major #MeToo scandal, the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported.  But prosecutors told Estadão newspaper that investigators have focused on 15 cases.  Faria has denied all of the allegations."

The most outlandish news of all is presented at the conclusion of a UK The Telegraph article of  December 16, as follows:
 

Brazilian prosecutors had included his name on Interpol’s wanted list, though his lawyers were confident the medium would turn himself in.

The case came to light last Saturday when 13 women went on national television to make sexual violence accusations against the faith healer.

The Prosecution Service of the state of Goiás confirmed it has since received 355 reports of abuses committed by Mr. Teixeira from women across Brazil and abroad.

Mr. Teixeira has insisted that he is not guilty of any alleged abuse.

Among the accusers is Mr. Teixeira’s daughter, Dalva Teixeira, 49, who called her father a “monster” and alleged she was beaten and raped by the medium until she was 14 years old.

“He used to say that God didn’t exist, that he was God,” she told the Brazilian press.

Ms. Teixeira claimed the abuse stopped when she became pregnant by one of her father’s employees, and that the faith healer beat her and caused her to have a miscarriage.

“None of those women is lying,” said Ms. Teixeira, about those who have stepped forward and accused her father of abuse.  “I know because I went through it, I suffered.“

Many of the reports of abuse are similar, involving unaccompanied women being invited to have private spiritual treatment sessions with Mr. Teixeira, in which he allegedly forced the victims to masturbate him or perform fellatio.

Mr. Teixeira is a celebrity in Brazil and around the world for his renowned ability to perform spiritual “cures.”

In 2012, Oprah Winfrey visited Mr. Teixeira’s retreat to film an episode of her interview series Oprah’s Next Chapter, the video of which has now been taken down from the presenter's YouTube page.

Mr. Texeira “doesn’t have the physical health and emotional structure to live as a fugitive from justice,” one of his lawyers told the Brazilian press.

  

Another brief AP news story appeared on December 20 with the headline "Police Charge Brazilian Spiritual Healer".  The release mentioned: "Police say the investigations are complicated by the fact that many of the cases took place years ago.  Current law gives victims six months to report cases of abuse."

  

A Brazilian newspaper on December 21 quoted police chief Valdemir Pereira as having stated (as translated): "It's a sexual fraud.  The victim went there searching for a cure.  He took advantage of the situation, misled her and sexually abused her." 
 
What is currently happening to João is a reminder that in the court of public opinion, journalists—and law enforcement officers, for that matter—can become both jury and judge through selecting the scope of what news is relevant for promulgation. 

 

The books published about João provide answers to some of the questions about him.  Sandy Johnson wrote in The Brazilian Healer with the Kitchen Knife: and Other Stories of Mystics, Shamans and Miracle-Makers (2003) about experiencing an "invisible surgery" and learning about the early days of his mediumship —

 

. . . for the next eight years, Joao traveled from town to town, healing the sick in exchange for food and shelter.  Word of his healings spread and eventually reached the authorities.  Everywhere Joao went police found him, arrested him, threw him into prison, and beat him.  Finally, Joao took a job with the military in Brasilia as a civilian tailor where, under the army's protection, he could continue healing.  Nine years later, Joao had saved enough money to buy a small farm.  The farm turned out to be rich in minerals and gems, and in 1978 Joao was able to establish the center in Abadiania.

 
Here is a list of previous articles published at this blog about John of God:
  

"Spirituality & Health: Healing Spirits of Brazil"

"An Introduction to Healer John of God"

"John of God and the Media"

"John of God: Journey to the Spirit World"

"Taking a Closer Look at 'Unexplained Phenomena'"

Other articles have profiled the contemporary cases of another Brazilian trance healer Rubens de Faria, Jr. (1, 2, 3, 4) and that of UK trance channeler spiritual healer Ray Brown.
 

In retrospect, the inclusion of the comment from channeled communicator 'Fletcher' through Arthur Ford as quoted in the November 18 blog article is something to consider in light of the role of the media in relation to all that has recently occurred in the life of John of God:
 

You must remember that every person that comes with revelation that threatens the selfish interests of people entrenched in anything on earth is going to be persecuted.   But we know here that when a person burns another at the stake, or crucifies him or hangs him, it is because unconsciously the spirit within him is telling him that the person he is crucifying is right.  But he cannot afford to admit that because he has accepted the persecutor—the hangman—the crucifier—as maintaining traditional beliefs.

And so whenever you find anyone persecuting another person you know that the one who is persecuting is doing it in order to keep himself from admitting the truth.  And he is killing the one who threatens his security, because the inquisitor is always unsure.  He is guilty and his insecurity drives him to a frenzy — that is why you have such hatred, such strife on earth today.  People in vast numbers are clinging to things which they no longer believe.  But they have not been willing to listen.  Therefore, in their ignorance, they destroy the secure person who threatens their security.

In this new era, therefore, as your universe passes into the House of Aquarius, we are taking advantage of the new vibrations which this astral change produces, in order to work with you, to lighten the burdens of earth's difficulties, to sow the seeds of conviction where the seeds of doubt have flourished hitherto.  Yet, we cannot far progress in our labours if you receive us not in the same spirit in which we come, which is mutual love and understanding.  We come to you neither as beings nebulous and inarticulate to strain your credulity to breaking point, nor do we force upon your reasoning power that which shall destroy the natural function of faith.  We give you reasonable evidence and leave you to receive that evidence in reasoning trust.


Fountains and streams and pools and rivers, they all bring the living water within reach of those who have the will to come.

The Aquarian Age will, like all other ages of the past, contain those who will earnestly seek the betterment of both themselves and their fellow men and those that will strive just as earnestly toward the destruction of others and in the end themselves as well, and there will be yet others who will be neither destructive nor constructive — indeed they will do nothing but sit — the only sign of activity they will show will be in their waiting for someone else to tell them when or how they should think.  These latter persons remind one of the parable of the servant who was given one Talent and because of lack of faith to himself he went out and buried it — such people are a greater danger to a social system than those actively engaged in destruction, inasmuch as the latter save the world from stagnation through lack of motion.  I think that most of you will concede me the fact that the destroyers keep the constructors from going to sleep on the job.  As an example, one may observe the tremendous action going on between Communism and the Democracies!  I may add here that as long as the constructors in your country keep an active finger of irritation on all foreign political and religious elements of destruction it will remain free to grow.  Now to go back to the word Aquarian — it is the name for a zodiacal division which covers about 2,160 years.   I am not particularly versed in the fields of Astrology wherein it is said that the movement of the stars and other heavenly bodies influence the actions of men — I am however very cognizant of the fact that as long as man "sleeps" he lacks volition to act on his own, so Nature moves him about like a puppet on the strings of her very subtle forces.  As the individual comes out of his hypnotic sleep he becomes free of these strings and his actions are no longer dependent upon the action of the stars, the will of gods or devils, or the dictations of discarnate or incarnate beings, no matter how well intended they all may be.

And now in the New Age, it is an age of orchestration—of a symphony—of unity.  And the New Teacher will be neither Christian, Buddhist, Moslem, or anything else.  The Holy Spirit speaks in universal terms — and God will no longer be fragmented.  God will be the one God — who sent forth his Son not once but many times.


The Christ who manifested through him [Jesus of Galilee] is the Eternal — he will manifest again.  He has never ceased to speak to men but the time has come when, in the New Age, the veil which has been drawn between your plane and the World of Spirit will be pushed aside and those who have been freed from physical bondage will be able to speak and use and guide and teach the peoples of earth.  That is being brought into manifestation everywhere.


As if All Experience — All Knowledge — All Spiritual Truth has always existed.  It has been revealed at different times — through different people.  But the one who reveals is concerned only that he speaks Truth and those who are ready and capable of accepting Truth or perceiving Truth — they carry the message on.

Yet, even as indeed we may be the Elder Brethern of the human race, and able to view the present trauma of your planet with detachment, still our duty and our joy is to release to your worlds some rays of that Divine Purpose by which all creation moves to its ascendancy.

Such a moment in the plan for your cosmos is now immanent. These powerful vibrations of truth will make ingress into man's mind and heart as the Living Water of the Aquarian Age is poured out upon all mankind . . .


Nothing that was earned and accepted by the soul during the process of incarnation can ever be lost, even though in a further period of earth life, the personality (or earth consciousness) used by that soul is unaware of this advancement. For the soul memory remains stable; and a gift or an aptitude earned or a grace received becomes an integral part of the soul.

This is a New Age or a New Spirituality.  There is a newness that is continuously coming.

The seat of power, the point of consciousness, is located in the conscious mind.  More and more your reality is a product of your conscious thoughts  and feelings.

This is more than theory or an interesting philosophy.  Mystics have been foretelling of a time of conscious power since awareness began.  Physicists have been proving the power of conscious thought and feeling for over half a century.


The channeling process, which has been going on for thousands upon thousands of years without much publicity, is now again being used, and it provides an opportunity for people to augment their growth because you, as a civilization, are ready to grow.  You are seeking answers that traditional spiritual avenues are simply not providing — and therefore you are seeking new, different, and innovative answers to the questions that you have been asking for so very long.

The New Spirituality — the New Age — is not a replacement, but an extension, an expansion beyond that which organized religions believe.  The New Spirituality builds upon many of the traditional religious ideals, principles and values.

Remember that your written history of only a few thousand years is just a piece of sand upon a beach.  Human affairs on Earth have had so much other activity, and dominated by off-planet visitations and interactions.


This Aquarian Age that is at hand is a time of truth-seeking.  So there will still be bias on Earth, but it will be a new manner of bias.  The priorities will become seeking truth.  The illusion will be that truth is only in one area, and falsehood lies in another.  Ultimately truth is everywhere all the time, as it enlarges its scope and its reality.

So this shift that is taking place is increased communication, because there is an increased attitude of community in the collective.  Thereby your media, your communications systems and technology, are participating — of your own creation.  There is increased communication internationally, increased community concerns and debates internationally.

What is also important, is the understanding of the cosmology of what you term the hierarchical situation of the Universe.  We do not like that term 'hierarchical.'  But to understand that there are other physical civilisations that are attempting to bring benefit, that there was also the seeding, and to understand that the Twenty-Four civilisations are what they call the twenty-four elders in the Book of Revelations.  What is important is to begin to clarify the errors that have crept into the religious aspect that holds man in bondage.

It is only in the asking that you do the receiving.  Know also: it is time for humankind to understand that they are of us, and must be freed from the burden of poverty.  Remember it is religion that created the idea in humankind that it is more worthy to be less, to be poor.  It was their way of controlling humankind.


. . . It [Earth] is now coming into a state of true consciousness.


Also, understand that the fear of people, when they speak in the 'New Age,' is always that growth goes on until they return to the source, and in the subconscious nature of humankind they say 'then we will lose our individuality and it will be boring.'


In truth, that that you are, that spark, that essence of individuality always remains that individuality and is not ever consumed, or digested, or negated. In the attaining of balancing the spiritual with the physical there is great release of joy.


When the day arrives that we may communicate with you, and you may communicate with others in a form of mind language, those that exist upon your planet will begin to truly evolve.  We have been in observation, and the sadness that we feel is because there is so much difficulty in the mode of which you communicate.  We have observed that what you speak is not [always] what you think.

To me there is a constant process of evolution, development, unfoldment.  It will not happen that over night there will be change and a new age will be ushered in.  Gradually, as truth progresses, more and more people will become aware of it.  Once they realise that the whole of the universe is founded on spiritual realities that cannot fail, and as a result they begin to live these implications, so there will be higher states of consciousness and awareness functioning in your world, but it will be a gradual process.

Most generations believe there are certain people, or groups of people that incarnate for a specific purpose to enlighten mankind.  The 'new age' has put forward many theories and ideas that some have adopted.


Some children are more spiritually aware than others, some are spiritually developed for certain gifts, whilst others, because of their material circumstances grow into spiritually unaware adults.


There are no group incarnations to save the world — we try to bring the light into everyone's consciousness and it sometimes can be inspired and moved by the innocence of a child then that is a good start and they should be encouraged to develop in their own way.  There are many religious and political groups that take young people and brainwash them to comply to adults' beliefs and causes.  An innocent life can be abused or destroyed for the ideals of others.


The communication and interaction  between the physical and spiritual is continually evolving.  Many people are able to be overshadowed or can go into light or deep trance, allowing spirit people to speak through them


Spirit doctors who work with my healing teams can only stay in your atmosphere for around fifteen minutes because your atmosphere is too dense.


Those of you who have read A Mere Grain of Sand [2004] will know that this partnership between Raymond and myself came after decades of experimentation with this unique form of mediumship as well as dedication and devotion to healing those in need.


Everyone needs to be told these vital and life saving truths; to teach and guide others in some small way and to help mankind seek out the pathway that will allow your beautiful world to live longer and fulfill its destiny, not just for your children or grandchildren or great grandchildren, but for the gift of all time.


Love is the key.  The future starts with you.

So the transit you are taking is an enormous one and we respect it.  We also want to remind you that this is happening to everybody, regardless of whether or not they are reading this text.  This is not about privilege.  And understand this now, this is not about making you special or "better than."  We are simply giving you a vocabulary and a means by which to navigate the changes that are here already and will be coming into manifestation regardless of whether or not you had ever heard of this book.  This is all happening across the globe.  This is the manifestation of the New Age.  We will say it has come, and it is here, and it is in its knowing as you are acclimating to it.


Understand please that this is the threshold of the New Age.  You can say "Aquarius," you can say the "years of peace," and you can say whatever you like.  But you stand on the threshold now with anticipation of what can come.  And we speak to you in love when we say what can come, finally, you will be party to in your creations.  Mankind has created much in fear.  And that which is created must be un-created, must be transformed in some way for the energy to be released and realigned to love.

We understand, sometimes, that the only was people learn is through seeing the evidence of their own ignorance or the actions that have been made in fear.  And we cannot stop what one chooses through their free will.  But we will say this: The consciousness of this plane is light, is becoming light.  And the reaction from the negativity, from those aspects that would seek to maintain their control, will become pronounced as they are released.

A Holy Bible passage offering the words expressing the Christed Jesus presents a metaphor that is brought to mind when one considers the symbol of the Water-Bearer associated with the astrological Age of Aquarius: "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."  (John 4:14)  

The New Age, Christ Consciousness and Second Coming

               The New Age

                                                    Christ Consciousness 

                                                                                                     Second Coming

Today in the early years of the 21st Century there must be a multitude of people who are completely unaware of the documented transcendental sources of spiritual information that have offered commentary about these topics.  Many transcendental communicators have spoken about the New Age of Aquarius as the time of expanded consciousness for human beings.  Developing a perspective of what natural laws are becoming known from diverse cases of 'paranormal phenomena' may help one to reach greater spiritual understanding pertaining to 'Christ Consciousness' while some transcendental information sources offer explanations of humanity's historical involvement with a 'Second Coming.'

Some previous articles about 'Christ Consciousness' include: "I Am The Word" and "A Meditation on Christ Consciousness from the Edgar Cayce Channeled Readings Transcripts".  Some previous articles about the 'Second Coming' include: "Transcendental Communication Transcripts: From the Creation of the Cosmos to the Second Coming" and "Explaining the 'Second Coming'".

Society is full of traditions.  The holidays.  Getting married and raising children.  Going to church on Sunday.  The escape from reality through movies, TV shows, stage plays, Pop music, computer games . . . It is understandable that countless people have had no meaningful introduction to many of the subjects considered at this blog.  Social conditioning may leave a person unable to ascertain the opportunities for essential spiritual insights to be learned, experienced and manifested in one's own life — nonetheless expanded consciousness is possible for everyone.

Enlightenment will always be an innate need for all humans.  Shown below are some magazines recently found at the checkout counter of the local Whole Foods Market.
 

 

The articles in these magazines are about 'mindfulness' and 'meditation,' intelligence and creativity, spiritual awakening, health and happiness, yet an intrinsic aspect for a reader advancing one's metaphysical awareness is the bona fide data about what can be known from studying cases of transcendental communication and correlating evidence of diverse forms of psychic and 'paranormal' phenomena.  Some exemplifying articles at this blog are "Some 'Evidence' of the Divine Mind", "Channeled Perspectives of the Brain", "Paranormal Phenomena As Divine Revelation", "Considering the Riddles of 'Unexplained Phenomena'", "The 'Paranormal' In Perspective" and "Spiritual Healing".

Considering basic metaphysical teachings of channeling cases may bring clarity to developing one's metaphysical perspective.  Individuals who become 'channels' have been chosen to expand the spiritual awareness of others in accordance with the Will of the Higher Self as an aspect of The Divine Mind or 'Oneness.'

The Western mentality may seem to be at a disadvantage in regard to aspects of soul evolution in comparison to the vast terminology found in Eastern spiritual traditions.  One Western author who explored Eastern spiritual concepts was H. P. Blavatsky.  An example follows from one of the early 'Mahatma Letters' of 1880 received in India by A. P. Sinnett, (an acquaintance of Madame Blavatsky) who came to realize the importance of publishing the teachings of 'The Masters' —
 

While not unparalleled, or without their counterpart in universal history, these phenomena must and WILL come with an overpowering influence upon the world of sceptics and bigots. They have to prove both destructive and constructive — destructive in the pernicious errors of the past, in the old creeds and superstitions which suffocate in their poisonous embrace like the Mexican weed nigh all mankind; but constructive of new institutions of a genuine, practical Brotherhood of Humanity where all will become co-workers of nature, will work for the good of mankind with and through the higher planetary Spirits . . .

Over the course of many decades, ignorant people have denied the authenticity of various forms of 'paranormal phenomena.'  A possible reason for this is obvious to ascertain.  One may not want to be in the predicament of rethinking one's orientation to life when it isn't yet clear what is to be gained through doing so.

Undeniable evidence of Transcendental Communication and so-called paranormal phenomena take the form of Instrumental Transcommunication recordings, Direct Voice Phenomena recordings, and facilitated healing in the presence of channelers — to simply ignore or dismiss all the evidence reveals a mentality of denialism.

The 'channeled entity' known as 'Dr. Peebles' during Earth life was a friend and associate of Colonel Henry Steel Olcott, who with Blavatsky and others founded the Theosophical Society in 1875.  As Reported in the case study To Dance with Angels (1990) by Don and Linda Pendleton, Dr. Peebles responded with compassion when asked about skepticism.  
 

The organizations around the world, religious and otherwise, who wish to understand and who do believe, are a thousandfold more numerous, and that's because the truth lies therein.

 
. . . we support them [skeptics] in their work; for this will prove to themselves their own passion.  They will realize that they are not objective, but instead they have passionate points of view that they wish to maintain, and through their collective reinforcement they will become increasingly clear and honest about their own bias rather than demanding to isolate the bias of another.  Furthermore, it's their way of coming to God, because the truth is contained within the spirit, within God, the magic of life — so they are accelerating their quest and they will find the truth, one by one by one.

Among recordings and transcripts, one may find addressed just about any subject imaginable.  The following passage quoting 'Tahoteh' through Eileen J. Garrett (from The Image of an Oracle 1964) mentions such topics as religious evolution, environmental neglect and international relations.  The book also includes transcripts of conversations with channeled entities 'Ouvani' (or 'Uvani') 'Abdul Latif' and 'Ramah.'
 

You are going to have again a religion that is very very close to the earth religion.  Why?  For the simple reason that men have begun, and have really begun in all parts of the world, to destroy the fecundity of earth.  Is it not so?

 
They will then produce a model of their universe, a model of the life giver, and having produced the model of the life giver, it will be again like the earth mother.

 
It [the new religion] will come by virtue of the many conflicts because you see conflict in the whole of China.  Now you have conflict within all your Arab countries, do you not?  You have conflict in Africa.  You are going to have very much more conflict.  Now you can imagine this will bring a great deal of pain, a great deal of worry, a great deal of destruction.  But finally out of all this, this must make a new force.  You see what is aborning — a new force.  And it cannot be that you sit here and your friends who are so like you, that you call Russia today, sit there, and insult each other.  A great new vital force must be born out of all this condemnation, insults, difficulty, lack of intelligence, everything that is Asia.

 
It is so simple what we must say.  It was in the beginning.  Let us again have tranquility, that the darkness, that all the waters of inexperience may not drown us, but that we may again turn our face toward the light.

An author who identified correlations between Eastern and Western spiritual traditions was Manley P. Hall, who wrote a treatise about The Bible in 1983.  The following paragraphs are some excerpts.
 

Although many recent sects have gospels of their own, the principal religious scriptures are the Old and New Testaments, the Zend Avesta, the Institutes of Manu, the Vedas, the Vishnu Purana, the Sutras of Northern and Southern Buddhism, the Tao Te Ching, the ethical writings of Confucius, and the Koran.  They proclaim the spiritual responsibilities of devout persons and in most cases the ethical instructions are the same or similar in all these inspired texts.

It is now generally assumed that the sacred books are based upon the descent of oral traditions.  They originated before the invention of writing and were preserved by priests and elders of tribes and culture groups.  They may contain certain elements of history or prehistory, but this is not their essential purpose.  Fragments of many branches of learning are found in the sacred texts, but these also are incidental.  Their real purpose is to perpetuate the record of human experience as proof of a Universal Integrity.  They endure as foundations of faith and they support convictions with which humanity has been innately endowed.

 
In many instances we have no proof as to who wrote the sacred books, but we associate them and their sanctified persons in the past who had the inner realization of the Divine Will.

Despite the progress of the human condition that has been chronicled from ancient times, today there remains the grim reality of human vulnerability to misfortune and destitution.  In many ways, society still isn't equipped to provide even the most basic and essential services to people in need, which could be any of us after an unlucky event.

Part of the reason for the conditions found in society is the lack of interest for metaphysical subjects that in the past have been only superficially examined by investigators, evidently sometimes influenced by their disbelief.  According to one transcendental communicator, the reason knowledge may be learned by some individuals while disregarded by others is because: ". . . each has formulated his opinion based on his unique experiences and the understanding or misunderstanding that he has gained in his soul, not only from this life but from all lives lived before this one."  (Dr. Peebles agrees with this.)

Beyond the conception of many people, transcendental communicators speak in a more knowing way about Earth life yet it seems most journalists working in the mainstream news media have shown no awareness about this momentous realm of the human condition.  One influence for this perhaps is the perception that such topics could conflict with preconceived consensus beliefs (even ignorant ones) and this realization engenders an expectation of disapproval among audiences and advertisers; however, many articles about media coverage of paranormal subjects proves that such a perspective is incorrect.  Or perhaps journalists are simply themselves entirely ignorant about metaphysical subjects.   

In a Direct Voice seance transcript that may be read in a previous blog article, an unnamed communicator advised the sitters during a seance in Ireland:
 

You want to do a little bit of service while in the world no matter what station the great Spirit God may have placed you in.  Each one should be willing to help those around in need of assistance and not allow it to fall on one shoulder only.  Also, you must not allow anyone to impose on you too much; just see that they take their share of responsibility.  It is a good lesson to each one of you to accept your share of responsibility and it helps to prepare you for the journey here, enabling you to take your proper place in the fuller life which awaits you.  I am just one of the stragglers who has come through it, and I wish I had done my duty better in the earth life.

Other examples of transcendental communication cases are available in such articles as "Five Videos for People Who Don't Yet Know about Authentic 'Channeling'", "Some Observations about 'Channeling'" and "Tapping The Force: Leslie Flint Recordings and Links".  Also available is an "Articles and Videos Links Index" of channeling cases.
