There is, unfortunately, a great difference between theory and practice, as you should know, in the field of medicine (to Nadine). And therefore, because I tell you that you can heal yourself, I also tell you that there are some difficulties in the way, and those difficulties are those ideas that you have in your heads that prevent you from using your own abilities.

There is not one of you present in this room who cannot contact your own entity and have that entity heal your physical being, for it can use its abilities quite freely. It does not have your present hang-ups. It does not think it is fat, it does not think it has a bad neck. It does not think it has a bad foot. It can erase your difficulties as easily as you can erase a mistake on a painting, easily and swiftly and beautifully and well.

Now, to some extent, all of you take advantage of these abilities or you would not have physical bodies to begin with. They simply would not last that long, in your terms. But when you cannot do this for yourself, and when your own misconceptions hold you back from using your own abilities, then there are others who can reawaken your own energies and direct them to your advantage; who can meet you and speak with you when you are in more auspicious states than the one you usually call conscious— When you are at your most creative and alert, in other words, when you are asleep. These others can then speak to you and communicate with you, illuminate you as to the reasons behind your difficulty and help you erase that difficulty.

I want each of you to understand, however, that you have these abilities and you use them. When you cut your finger the flesh is made new. This is done automatically by a portion of yourself that is not conscious but is very vital and very real. You are kept alive as you listen to me and yet you do not understand what keeps your body alive and functioning. This is taken care of by the inner self and if you trust it, it will keep you in excellent health. Whenever you doubt it then you have need of doctors and nurses and it is good to have them if there is no other place to turn.

(To Rose.) Our friend over here in the corner has healing abilities and you can direct them, mainly toward others, although you are quite capable of using them for your own benefit also when you do not brood.

(To Louise.) Our new friend over here, the cougher, you also have strong healing abilities. You have used them unconsciously but you can use them with more purpose for yourself and others.

(To Rachel) The one over here on the couch who winks at me in such an infamous manner, you also have healing abilities. In the main you direct them outward toward others and when you have a better opinion of yourself, you can use them for your own benefit. Right now you do not think you are worthy. Not only does she wink but she sniffles her nose at me. Now these are abilities you can learn to use and develop.

(To Nadine.) It often occurs that those who have strong healing abilities focus upon illness and sickness and are obsessed with it in the same way that many ministers, given to thoughts of good and God, are obsessed with the idea of the devil and evil. So you also have strong healing abilities but these, so far in your personal life, have been latent because of your fear and your obsession in the other direction. If you will forgive me, it is somewhat like a woman with very earthly desires, but strong abilities in that line, who rigorously refuses to use them and dwells instead on thoughts of their evil, holding them back simply because she realizes they are so strong. In your own personal life you are afraid to use your abilities of this healing. You do not understand them and yet in your profession you are free to use them and you have seen them work.
