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."
The Elder Brothers
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 Healing
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.
