The power of the faith in the spiritual cure
(article by Moacir Sader SJ – march-2007)
<<translated by Tatiana Fonseca>>

 

The word “faith” is present in all the religions and it is highlighted in many biblical passages, only in the New Testament, around 227 versicles, as something important to be lived.

The special way that Jesus make Himself to worth the faith’s power to cure, calls my attention. Although He could realize miracles, He used the faith of who made the request, as something necessary in the cure process.

There is, for me, a special passage from Jesus, because it is similar to another miracle that He made and I could testified through an astral trip to Jerusalem . Mathews, in a biblical passage, tell us about the cure made by Jesus to one Centurion’s servant, saying:  

Since Jesus entered in Cafarnaum, arrived at him one Centurion who urged Him: Sir, my servant is at home paralyzed, and tormented in a terrible way. Jesus answered him: I will go and I will cure. The centurion, however, asked Him again: Sir, I am not worthy that enter underneath my roof, but say only one word and my servant will be cured. Because I am also a man with authority, and I have soldiers under my laws; and I say to one of them: Go, and he goes; and to another one: Come and he comes; and to my servant: do it, and he does. Jesus, listening to that was amazed and told the ones who followed Him: to tell you the truth, have never met nobody in Israel, with such faith. (Mathews, Ch. 17 V. 20/21).

The Centurion, telling about his full confidence in the attendance of his orders by the soldiers, was emphasizing, equally, the completely trust in Jesus’ power in curing, that fact made Jesus to continue its cure and to laud the Centurion, saying that he had never found, even in Jerusalem, anyone with such faith.

In Jesus’ miracle, followed by me in an astral trip, one Centurion also looked for Jesus to ask for his son’s cure, since he did not belief in medicine anymore. However, when he met Jesus, he did not have the courageous to make the request, so humbly, he asked only to hold Jesus’ hand. Knowing about his thoughts and seeing his faith, Jesus put out His hand and touched the Centurion’s ones, telling him: “your request was attended”, and his son, at the same time, was cured, far from there.

Always when I remember that I followed this miracle in an astral throwback, watching the happiness in Jesus’ face while He cured the people, I feel shocked because of the gift that was given to me. The experience made myself to pay attention in the power of the faith as well as it can and should be revealed.  

Observe that in the case of the Bible’s Centurion, that the faith was clearly showed and mentioned. On the other hand, in the other Centurion’s situation, no word was said, but it was just the thought and the felt in a real way. And that was enough to be noticed by Jesus. In the Centurion’s thought, who wished the son’s cure, the faith was alive, and without any doubts, that was the reason for his wish to be realized through the cure made by Jesus.  

When we make any request to God, we should act as the same way that both of the Centurions made, with faith words and absolutely sure, that at the same time, the thoughts are full of conviction that the wish will be attended always, including previous thanks.  

We should fight against the negative thoughts that try to come to our minds, which come from the conditionings and from the recruited fears, since we were children, or even, since past lives. It is necessary to fight constantly with our mind, in order to reject any contrary thought, which denies the real faith. As if we were in a mental attendance, we can not allow even one deniable thought.  

This posture is the way that exists to live the faith in its practical sense and to reach the expected results. In Jesus’ own words, in two passages from the Bible, He confirms this vision, when He says:  

Actually, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard grain, I will say to this mount: Go from here to there and it will go; and nothing would be impossible for it. (…) to tell you the truth, if you have faith and if you do not doubt, I will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mount: Stand up and go to the sea, this will be done. (Mathews, Ch. 17 V. 20/21).  

If you have the faith like a mustard grain, I would say to this mulberry tree: Be free, grow up in the sea, and it would obey you. (Lucas, Ch. 17 V. 6.).

So, Jesus is saying that it is necessary to have the faith while we are making a request for anything, but also, we “can not have doubts”. I understand, thus, that we can not put words in doubts and even, the thoughts, in order to our requested goal, to be completely attended.  

In the same sense, like I referred myself in the article: “Thoughts quantum changes”, the quantum physical has been proved that the thought, and also, the feelings, when they are emphasized in one specific goal, worked in a constant positive way with full faith, allow the attraction of those things that we wish, that usually finished to be realized in a proportional period of time, faster than the intensity of the used faith, by positive thoughts and feelings.  

With this perspective and also confirming the Quantum Physical affirmations, I am remembering the history lived by the author Anthony Norvell and told in his book “The power of occult forces”. In one trip from Greece  to the United States of America on board on a transatlantic, Anthony was curious when in all the mornings, he saw walking on the deck and singing in a low voice some sentences, a fast man with white hair, erected posture and own vigor of someone who is not more than thirty-five years-old.  One day, the author asked him about his young vigor. And for his astonishment, he knew that the man was ninety years-old, although, he felt himself as he was forty years-old.  

So, the man told Norvell, that when he was forty years-old he had been in India, when he met a mystical guy who taught him: “All the secrets from the life are find in two attitudes: rhythmical breath and occult invocation”. Thus, the man started a rhythmically walk, singing and intoning positive sentences, constantly and always when he was alone. In this way he cured himself from bad cardiac chronic and stomached ulcers. There was forty years that he did not feel himself sick, even with a cold; he did not wear glasses, he did not debilitated himself, after all, with his age. He felt so happy and healthy, that he made a goal of reach to a hundred and ten years-old. He told when he breathes in and out; he said positive declarations, establishing a musical rhythm. In this cadency, he intoned:  

I am the center of energy and of cosmic vital power. The universe rhythm is inside my body and it establishes my healthy, my young and the vitality inside me. My heart is the generator of occult power that sends the vital power run through all my atoms and cells of my brain and my body, curing me in a perfect way from all the disagreeing elements.

Coming back to the cures made by Jesus, another aspect calls my attention: beyond says always that the faith allowed the cure, as He told to one woman who has just touched Him: “Your faith, saved your life, go in peace and stay away from that disease”, He also said that all the sins were forgiven as well as we can see, for example, in two passages from the Bible, according to Mathews.  

And so, they brought a paralytic person lied down on a bed, to Him. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic: You have to have vitality, my son, your sins are all forgiven. (Mathews, Ch. 9, V. 22).

 And seeing their faith, He said to a man: Man, all your sins are forgiven. (Mathews, Ch. 5, V. 20) (This passage is from the man who was brought to Jesus through the roof).  

The two paralytic men, obeying to Jesus orders, stood up and went away, walking, cured, for the astonishment and happiness of everybody who could follow the above facts.

Why did Jesus put together in this cure and in many others, I would say in most of them, perhaps, the cure of the sins? I can only understand that the disease people were in those conditions, in face to the spiritual cure process, certainly from other lives, because many of the cured people by Jesus, including the blinds ones, were birth disease.

Therefore, it was necessary to forgive the sins, (mistakes came from past lives), because those sins made diseases in the ethereal body, originated from emotional and mental bodies (reflex from other experiences), and after, those diseases manifested themselves in the physical body. The sins’ forgiven, made by Jesus, then, hurt, the spiritual connection, bringing back the health, in face of the real faith from those people.

Like I wrote in my text, “Reiki, cure process”, it is absolutely necessary to have the request with faith, but it is equally necessary, ask for forgive of ours lives sins, and mainly, from past lives, that are bringing diseases and spiritual situations in our present life. It is also important, to ask for the curses’ burn, their change throughout the violet energy (divine fire), to help in the health reestablishment, even using the necessary treatment through the traditional medicine, helped by the other holistic treatments.  

Also about the pardon, I observe, that we should forgive ourselves because of the made mistakes, breaking the remorse feelings, which makes diseases to appear in this and also in future lives.  It is equally essential, to forgive people next to us because of the faults that they made against us, in the sense of break the spiritual connection, taking us away from the future re-meet for the repair, beyond that, the fact of not give the forgive, affect the chakras, unbalancing the energy current, causing diseases in the correlated organs.  

At the same time, it is necessary to reestablish the emotional balance, putting away all the tensions, daily stresses, that finishing creating reactions in all the organism, real physical and psychological hurts, falling the defense and allowing virus and batteries attacks, that sometimes, finally make the appears of  diseases, which sometimes are serious ones.  

It is good to observe, like we saw in the Apocryphal Gospel of Mary Magdalene (cited in my article “Apocryphals Gospels according Judas, Thomas and Philippe”), emphasizes the necessity to keep ourselves in balance, avoiding negative actions, thoughts and feelings (sins made by men), in order to do not fall in sickness. In this way, He said:  

There is no sin; you are the ones who made it, when you do things like the adultery, which is called ‘sin’ (…) Because of this, you got sick and died. (…) The subject made an incomparable passion, which had its origins in something contrary to the Divine Nature. From that time on, all the body is unbalancing. This is the reason that I say for you: you have to be courageous, and if you are unhappy, you look for forces in many different nature manifestations. Who has ears, to hear, that hear.    

In the cited text, there is also another Jesus’ manifestation that follows in details: on it, Jesus calls our attention for our divine essence which is present inside us, and it is necessary to be rescued and to lived, through dignity, fair, honest, and love behavior, the real return to Father’s house, that belongs to us for spiritual right since our creation made from the image and similarity of God. Thus, we are going to be in peace, in emotional and psychological balance and with health.  

Because of this Father God came to our middle, for the each specie’s essence, to conduct it to its origins (…) The one who understand my words that put them in practice.  

Jesus detaches, clearly, what He understands by essential, according we can see in the following versions from Lucas and Mathews:  

But who are you, Pharisees! Why do you give the mint and rue tithe, and from all the green stuff, and you disdain the justice and the love of God. Well, these things were important to be done, but without left the others. ( Lucas , Ch. 11, V. 42).

Shame on you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  Why do you give the mint, the dill and the way tithe, and you have omitted what is more important to know in law, the justice, the compassion and the faith, these things you should do, but without omit the others. (Mathews, Ch. 23, v. 23).  

As we saw in the cited passages from the Gospels of Lucas and Mathews, Jesus did not give the value to the tithe, which is so important for the religions, once that the tithe’s payment (in money) was finally changed, in His words, with little importance if we compare the judged actions, by him, essential that they are: justice, compassion, faith and love.  

Actually, Jesus confirmed by the cited passages of the Bible, when He said the sentence: “Give to Cesar; what belongs to him, and give to God what belongs to God” (Lucas 20, 25). He was saying to give to Cesar the taxes and to give to God the spiritual evolution, throughout the ancestors practices of unconditional love and rising of faith, because, this, yes, according to Jesus, “was important to be done”.  

We can be cured, we can realize all our dreams, but for those thins to happen, it is necessary that we have faith (full faith), with positive feelings and thoughts always, without anything to deny this in any moment. Asking also to God, the forgive of the sins, which appeared as consequence of our distance, that we made in our divine essence through the incarnation. Forgiving ourselves and everybody ones, also in a real way. Equally rescuing, the emotional and psychological balance, and above everything, the spiritual balance, through actions, thoughts, feelings, put only in the full love.  

We can reach everything, everything can be realize by our faith’s power. We are sons of God, we were birth with the same divine power, our real essence, kept inside us, waiting to be re-meet and lived for all a eternity.  

Lights, faith, positive feelings and thoughts of love and balance.
