“Are there any diseases or imbalances, that cannot be cured?”

There is no imbalance that cannot be balanced by Source. Source is the central generator of Life force, of all expression and experience. It is the architect of all forms in duality, and therefore, the creator and essence of balance. All forms of alignment ultimately point to Source.

“So, you’re telling me that all human illnesses are the result of an alignment problem? Following this theory, it’s no wonder that hu-man disease is so rampant: The average human knows next to nothing about alignment with Source or Life force.”

I understand, of course, that this was the case for humans. You did not possess such sensitivity. That situation is almost unimaginable to us. You did have meditation, prayer and positive thinking, which helped. But unfortunately, it was not enough in most cases to correct very serious illnesses.

“I can’t escape the feeling that it’s our fault somehow when we get sick, like we did something wrong to be out of alignment.”

You had, in fact, created your illnesses and misalignment, but there is no fault or blame in your predicament. You had not devel-oped the power of awareness that we have. Humans did not know the truth lying right inside themselves. But you did have access to Source if you chose it. The suggestions I gave you earlier are all di-rected toward assisting in this: Notice; do not use your energy for resistance; find your authenticity; expand your awareness beyond mind; accept the moment as yourself; and only take action upon inner alignment.

“So, to cure any disease, all we need to do is figure out how to align with Source! That’s what you’re saying?”

[Our new friend speaks again.] “It is not a matter of figuring out—that is a mental function. But in essence you are right. Simply take the mind out of that equation.”

This is not a trivial issue, however. [You quickly interject.] The alignment we’re talking about is nothing less than the profound awakening of spirit—that which humans never achieved as a whole species. Without the awakening in each individual and in the whole population, true alignment was not really possible. Humans suffered greatly in many ways. Illness of the body was bad enough. But the greatest of all, was the suffering caused by ignorance of true consciousness within. That is, of course, what misalignment with Source really means. This became the driving force in the ultimate mutation into homo evigilo.

“Can we humans learn from what you’re sharing with me? Can we be healthier by being more in touch with Source?”

Yes, indeed. Recall my suggestion to you regarding authenticity. If you reach within, to that true conscious being, you will find the power of any and all action. Healing is one of those actions. Authenticity is the health-giving connection, as I believe I said before. Authenticity is alignment and identification with Source.

“Yes. I do remember. Thanks. What about death then? Why do you die if you don’t have to have serious illnesses?”

[The old man does not answer, but looks serenely alert, hands folded in his lap. He is participating with us through his silent gaze.]
Remember another thing I told you about evolution. Death is an important function in evolution, just as important as birth. When it arrives, we embrace it with the full vigor of the soul.

…It’s all about timing. I don’t want to hide things from you, but I must finish telling you about the transition times before it will fit. And besides, I thought you were not going to believe this story anyway. I will tell you this: I am seeing that you and I will be work-ing together on this project in a way I had not anticipated. For now, let me return to my account of the beginning of my species.

Shortly after your time, people found themselves no longer operating out of pure self-interest. The norms of society were chang-ing rapidly. You found increasing sensitivity to others’ feelings. People began to help each other more. This was not indiscriminate do-gooding; it was deliberately guided from the heart, joined with the mind, merged with the appreciative awareness. It is budhi, manas and atma at work again.

Not only had society at large suddenly become non-aggressive, it had become simultaneously much more intelligent and fearless; there were no longer walls of defensiveness and fixed opinion! The absence of fear opened us to new approaches and fresh ideas. The leaders who emerged were profoundly connected to the deep psy-chological needs of the groups they were serving.

Each individual vigilan or human being has a calling, a destiny. Look around you now at the true leaders in your human world to-day. You can tell who they are, and are not. There are many impos-ters. It is all about destiny. There were many who desired to be leaders, but who were not; they were mistaken as to their own des-tiny. Sadly, their desire was taken over by ego. These so-called lead-ers captured control of the populace through inauthentic means; they led themselves and everyone else astray. Of course, this turned out to be beneficial in the end—confronting inauthenticity hastened the awakening.

In contrast to the false leaders, the true leader balances the pre-rogatives of the individual with those of society. She or he repre-sents the Source energy, the beneficence of universal integrity. Look alertly for these ones, and give them your commitment, your blessings, your appreciation. They are few in number, in my time as in yours. This has a reason: Leaders are vectors around which many diverse followers must gather and move together. If there were too many leader types there would be too many different directions to follow at any given time.

“Well, I see many different directions in the world to-day—many religions, political systems, philosophies. Are there too many?”

Yes, relative to the needs of the people. There was much re-dundancy in human systems. The awakening is a revelation into the simplicity of the life force, of Conscious Evolution. All is simple, as I mentioned when we started these letters. The mind is a wonderful aid to exploration. But it does not possess the capacity to truly synthesize what it analyzes. It makes things much more complicated than they really are.

In reality many teachers in your time are saying the same things, only with different words and different cultural overtones. Some redundancy is not a bad thing. That there are many avenues to truth is wonderful. It is always important though to realize that they do in fact lead to the same point. They are all empowered from the same Source.

As the new consciousness unfolded, thinking began to simplify and slow down. We began to take time to ponder and reflect. We found that we did not need thinking nearly as much as we thought. Our new sensitivities allowed us to replace thinking with feeling into space, as we say. Whenever we have a question, we go first into that space, for clarity and inspiration. Once we enter that, we are able to engage the mind more efficiently and then set things into action. During the transition, all this was happening spontaneously within each a person. However, our leaders and helpers were endowed with the greatest measures of this clarity. They demonstrated the path, through their example, and the people knew when it is right…
