Have been thinking about why Neil's so-called devout Christian family didnt want to know him and dont want to know us now...how does that square with Jesus' teachings? They are nasty and belittling of anyone not only with an obvious disability but anyone who they view as intellectually inferior which includes anyone who doesnt have a university degree and yet their ignorance makes them inferior human beings in my view.
There is nothing inherently wrong with spirituality or believing in Christ but plenty wrong with religion. I know that my darling husband is with his friends and family in the spirit world....yet the Baptists who we hooked up with blindly out of need after he passed told us that he would not in their opinion deserve God's forgiveness. Absolute rubbish...That is what the God who Jesus told us about is full of...love and forgiveness... and then you dont require forgiveness if you are not in control of your actions anyway due to mental illness. I dont blame Neil because I know he couldnt stop himself taking his own life.
Healing doesnt have to come with religious conditions but religions seem to be using it to control people these days. There is free spiritual healing with no conditions at spirtual churches and centres. Whilst it wont fix physical damage it will ease the pain and sometimes easing the pain helps your body not to react in the same way. For example my mother has spondylocis in her spine and was in terrible pain a few years ago. She had several temporary procedures but it came back. Then she saw a pain doctor and had Morphine for a month after which when she came off it had gone. For good. So perhaps the relief had allowed her body to adjust to allow the cause to ease? I dont know. But then if I was suffering in pain week after week, month after month and the standard medical treatment didnt help I would try spiritual healing even if all it did was ease it ...and there is plenty of evidence that it does...but not perhaps from people seeking to control me but from peoplegenuinely giving of their healing as a gift as they do in spiritual centres. It has helped me with the pain of grieving by taking the tension out of my body. It can be done directly or remotely. I can fele my body receiving it randomly and am told that this is because the healers can ask for it to continue and I know that my loved ones in spirit send it to me as well. I know because I am now tuned into feeling spirit. I guess that when the world was a quieter place human beings were more tuned into this energy but now that we are surrounded by noise and chaos...constant humming from electrical appliances, TV and noise from traffic etc....that we are less aware?
