Love thiiiiis. As someone who is both a Christian and a huge hippie I love to see the integration of stuff like this. It’s rare (but it affirms my sense of things too!). Thank you for being you and for sharing with us xx
So much of what you shared is what Mary Baker Eddy writes about in Science and Health. If you haven’t come across her work yet, you might enjoy it! I’m still finding my way with religion and prefer my own versions of spirituality to the formal ones, but much of Christian Science resonates with what I understand about homeopathy, GNM, and spiritual/ancestral healing in general. I see it all as one and the same, though more dogmatic Christian Scientists fear homeopathy and don’t understand GNM. Still, much to learn there! And it’s a great community of people who don’t fear snotty noses. 🫶🏻
I'm late to the party, but this is a phenomenal post. I am a Christian who has "practiced" GNM for about a year - and I often feel GNM circles focus on creation, not the Creator. I've always had a hard time of effectively describing how Christinaity and GNM tie together, and this truly sums it up perfectly. Just wanted to say thank you
What a wonderful sharing! Thank you, Peta! God has guided you by way of these alternative, shall I say, analytical systems of understanding health such to have you arrive at the spiritual one of forgiveness. I highly commend you for your perseverance in the process!
If I may add a small insight, it stuck me that you chose the healing of the paralytic as your first and foremost example. Why? Most other healings that Jesus performed in the Bible result in an action of initiation (even if only words) by the one afflicted. The woman reaching to touch his garment, the lepers walking closer to the road than was allowed and calling to him, the blind man calling and yelling out to jesus. etc. Bot there are only a few instances where the action of initiation was performed by someone *other* than the afflicted one, and "their faith" is the catalyst for the healing to occur. Why is this important?
Because the men who worked to lower the paralytic through the roof had not only faith, but demonstrated love/charity for their friend (or relative or neighbor as was the case). So in this case, and with Jairus' daughter, and the servant of the centurion, love was combined with faith to make the healing of forgiveness efficacious for the person who otherwise did not have access to Jesus.
Let me, again, commend you for your outstanding work and writig and encourage you on your further work in reclaiming human healing from the pharmaceutical merchants of chronic malaise and, now, the transhuminist wizards of nanobiotechnology who seek to become Gods over all humanity with their heinous techno-alchemy.
Yes, let us all keep working to claim and defend all the greatness, beauty, wonder, and goodness that God created in each one of us!
Thank you Father Paul for your wisdom and these great additions! I am no theologian but try not to let that keep me from sharing what God puts on my heart.
My honor to support you. God has written His truths in our hearts. Bless you for reading and listening to His words in your heart! Peace and joy to you and your family!
This is wow. Just wow. I’m blown away by how you connected all the dots. As a long time Christian and a natural health junkie this was a balm to my soul!
Wow!!! 🙌🤍 I was JUST telling a friend how the connection between GNM and the Bible was starting to unfold in front of me. I used the same example of forgiveness. Also, I have been thinking about how following His commandments would relieve and prevent so much dis•ease. Hatred, jealousy, greed, sexual purity. As a woman who didn’t find Christ or read the Word till the end of my 20’s, I look back and see how sexual purity and aiming to get married young would have saved me SO much pain and emotional conflict. I am now saved and happily married and working to FORGIVE and HEAL as we build our family. I have so much gratitude for your words! I feel solidified in the connection I was finding between GNM and the Bible! I hope this conversation can continue.
Loved this essay! I’m currently obsessed with books on the healing power of our subconscious mind which is said to be - surprise - gods consciousness & intelligence within our bodies. Even though my intuition tells me this is the truth, I often still find myself binge watching Dr. berg on YouTube, swept away in researching supplements and other bodily ,fixes’. So your essay just complemented all of these previous hunches and reassured me in the divinity of our health. ♥️
Mmmmm so good. Right on time for me as well. I LOVE hearing your reflections on the Bible, especially because I don’t open myself up to many peoples interpretations so it’s nice to have someone I can just read, soak in and enjoy
