Godmindbody Part 2: A Book About TMS and Christ

What follows is part 2 of my book Godmindbody, which is about salvation, prayer and mindbody healing. Currently, it is available on this website for free. For Part 1, please see the pdf of parts 1 and 2 of the book below, or the blog post entitled Godmindbody Part 1, available here: https://www.robertensor.com/post/godmindbody-a-book-about-tms-and-christianity-part-1 Part 3 will be concerned with Bible prophecy, and is not finished yet. In this book (the full title), to the best of my ability I explain the origins and fate of humanity, how exactly to find salvation and live forever, as well as the most efficient healing method I have discovered, which combines Christian prayer with the mindbody approach. The book is not yet available as a paperback or kindle ebook. It will not be free in those formats.

By reading this book (the full title), you will learn:

1.     How the spirit created the mind, the mind controls the brain, and the brain controls the body.

2.     How symptoms and disease are caused by fear and negative, false beliefs about health, and how they can be healed by knowledge that changes those beliefs, kills the fear, and emboldens the sufferer to quickly resume normal activities.

3.     How exactly miracles were, and are, performed.

4.     The real reason for human suffering and how it can ultimately be resolved.

5.     How our relationships with the outside world and other people are shaped by our beliefs and can be changed by a shift in mindset.

6.     Insights about healing mindbody symptoms and diseases through Christian prayer and/or mindbody knowledge. (There is a secular option).

7.     How to master and overcome desire, fear and negativity for peace of mind.

8.     How to find salvation and hold onto it in a troubled world, with the reward of eternal life, thanks to Christ and his hidden teachings about spiritual rebirth.

9.     Those teachings are clearly explained and revealed in this book so that the reader comes to a true understanding of Christianity.

10.  The origin and ultimate fate of humanity and the earth, with reference to Genesis, The Book of Revelation and other Bible prophecies.

Part 2: Godmindbody

But TMS, on its own, is not the best healing method.

God is.

If you think anything you can do on a purely mental level is more effective than the force of almighty God, you’ve got another thing coming. Any healing approach that doesn’t incorporate the power of the Lord is neglecting the greatest healing force in this world or any other. It’s like having a fighter jet on standby and choosing to go into battle with a pistol. Yes, the pistol works, the enemy can be killed with it, but an air strike is a whole lot more effective, especially when the adversary has an entrenched position. There are good and even great TMS practitioners out there, but at the end of the day, God is the best healer. TMS methods can absolutely be used as an adjunct to divine healing. Jesus made several references to emotional or mental factors in sickness and healing, such as saying ‘Your sins are forgiven’ to the paralytic who walked[1] – implying that karmic guilt was the cause of his disability – and ‘your faith has made you well’[2] to the woman healed of a chronic haemorrhage merely by touching his garment. The better the mindset and comprehension of the individuals involved, the easier it is for the mind to allow divine mercy to manifest somatically. The mindbody approach thus evolves into Godmindbody. It is the next major advance in the field, though I am not the first to understand these things, Steve Ozanich brought spirituality to TMS in The Great Pain Deception and I do not believe for one moment that Doctor Sarno was ignorant of spiritual factors in healing. In essence, however, this is Jesus’ way.

The equation for optimal healing is as follows: Prayer + faith + knowledge of TMS and God + willingness to cease all unnecessary interventions and get back to normal functioning = extremely powerful and rapid healing. The kind of healing that Christ and his apostles did. Instantaneous. Profound. Permanent. Life-changing. Miraculous.

I prayed to Christ to show me how to heal and within mere days amazon recommended Sarno’s Healing Back Pain to me, which set me on the road to recovery. The prayer was answered, fast. I’m not the only one; the spiritual dimension is not uncommon in mindbody healing, though it is sometimes underrated or goes unmentioned. For Christians, all that is necessary to heal is to pray to Christ and believe he’ll do what you ask or better yet, that it is already done, provided it is in conformance with God’s will (because ultimately, God decides whether to grant requests or not). ‘Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.’[3] You must have faith in your heart for prayer to work reliably; an unshakeable inner core of certainty and conviction. Even if it seems that the prayer has not been granted, remain steadfast in your belief and it is so. Faith is all about disregarding what you see in order to change it. Do not engage in debates with the deceiver, who may try and find loopholes in your prayer. Just forget about it as a settled issue and move on. That really is a simple solution. Of course, the more you know about Christ, the easier it is to have faith in him. Christ also prioritises the prayers of the saved, his chosen ones.[4] That’s why readers are directed to the gospels and my book, The Spirit Solution: Lessons Learned From My Spiritual Journey. To fully explain the Son of God and why he can heal any ailment is beyond the scope of this book, but I can give you an overview of the essentials.

Some of you may be wondering, why should we trust the Bible and the gospels? The earliest surviving copies of the four gospels have been dated to within living memory of Jesus’ ministry. For example, Mark’s gospel is commonly dated to 65–70 AD. The earliest versions of the Gospel of John were clearly written while the Apostle John was still alive, yet for some reason modern scholars don’t believe that he was the original source of the copies we have today…moreover, there are significant thematic and linguistic consistencies between John’s gospel and the Book of Revelation, which John put his name to (more on this in Part 3). The earliest known manuscripts of the gospels contain accurate descriptions of 1st century AD Near Eastern flora and fauna, and the names used are consistent with that time and place.[5] Faking the right historical names for a given locale was not as easy as you might think prior to the internet and the printing press. The gospels contain references to numerous well-known historical officeholders such as Pilate, Tiberius Caesar, the high priest Caiaphas, and King Herod, enabling us to date the events described with some accuracy. Nowadays, our modern translations typically draw upon thousands of Bible manuscripts, many of them dating back to the period of the Western Roman Empire, which are striking for their relative similarity.[6] This gives modern Bibles an even firmer basis, whilst serving to corroborate the accuracy of older versions such as the King James Bible.

The received dates for the original compositions of the gospels are dubious, however. Frankly, I believe they are too late. For example, the ‘accepted’ dates are partly based on Jesus’ predictions of the Roman destruction of the Second Temple, which occurred in 70 AD; most historians therefore assume the gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke must have been written after that date, because they don’t believe in prophecy. Paul’s letters are generally dated by historians to between 48 and 62 AD, and they contain many references to Jesus’ sayings, his Olivet discourse and the gospel accounts, which means the gospels must have predated those letters. Moreover, just because the oldest extant copy of a book is not as old as tradition has it, does not mean that the tradition is wrong. The fatal flaw of the empiricist worldview, which dominates modern academia and historiography, is that it assumes the unknown doesn’t exist, when in reality there are many unseen things that nonetheless exist. For example, the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi codices obviously existed before their official discoveries in 1946 and 1945, respectively. Whatever the true authorship and dates of composition, the main events of Jesus’ life on earth, such as the fact he performed healing miracles, his core message about the Kingdom of Heaven, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, are corroborated by all four gospels. As far as historical documentation goes, that’s a good amount of evidence first set down within living memory of the events concerned. There are also records of Jesus’ existence written within 100 years of the Crucifixion by Roman historians who were not Christians, including Flavius Josephus, Pliny the Younger and Tacitus, who called Pilate a procurator when he was actually a governor, a fact Luke got right.[7] Only the extraordinary nature of the gospel’s claims, and the fact those claims contradict the mainstream scientific worldview, has provoked scepticism among moderns, who pride themselves on their inability to believe in that which they cannot see – but the Bible should not be read in the manner of a scientist looking for evidence, it should be read with intuition or ‘spiritual hearing’, because the one who has that hearing backed by faith will act upon the instructions contained in the gospels and thereby receive all the proof he needs of the truth of the gospel, directly from the ultimate source of all revelation. That is why I am not particularly concerned with the evidence for the reliability of the Bible as a historical document; there are other, more direct ways of confirming the veracity of the message. The gospels are a launchpad, from which readers can rise and meet God for themselves. In other words, once you’ve dug up the buried treasure, you know that the one who drew the map was correct. When you have the Holy Spirit, which improves your understanding of scripture, you know that the apostles and other Bible authors had it too, and that their writings were inspired. The Resurrection is a stumbling block for many, but those who have been reborn know that Jesus was resurrected, because of their own experiences. In any case, near death and out of body experiences have been well documented, as has already been indicated. For example, one woman was clinically dead for 17 hours and returned to life.[8] In the light of this evidence from otherwise ordinary people, is it really so hard to believe that one as spiritually advanced and strong willed as Jesus could come back from the dead?

Adding to the credibility of the gospel accounts is the prohibition of lying and the importance of truth in Christianity. The original New Testament writers and many of the copyists were zealous in their faith, and they believed lying, especially about God, was a sin. Moreover, the evangelists and apostles were obviously intelligent (by the grace of God), given the advanced content and literacy of their accounts, and there are historical reports of their upstanding behaviour and good character, Judas excepted. These were not just trustworthy men, these were sons of God, committed to the truth, prepared to suffer persecution and die in order to help others. Almost all of the apostles were martyred for their faith. Although regular people and sinners have died in their millions for false causes, as Mel Gibson observed, good, wise men ‘don’t die for a lie’[9]. The apostles and evangelists didn’t benefit financially, they opened themselves up to persecution, poverty, chastity, imprisonment, torture, exile and execution. Why would anyone lie for that? The answer is, they didn’t lie. Then you have to consider how unlikely it would seem to nonbelievers at that time, that this small messianic movement headed largely by fishermen would become the biggest religion in the world. And yet, Jesus predicted that the gospel would be preached throughout the whole world[10], a prophecy that has been proven correct in the last 200 years or so. Only divine intervention could have made Christianity so popular, especially when you consider that its ideal of human behaviour runs so counter to the selfish natural state of humanity. Moreover, the editing and selection process for the texts that comprise the Bible was divinely guided because it was God’s will to give humanity a document containing the truth and the keys to salvation.

As Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4:24, ‘God is spirit’, the source of everything within and beyond creation. The deity is not abstract. You can demonstrate the existence of God to yourself by lying down, closing your eyes, emptying your mind, focusing exclusively on the feeling of warmth, aliveness and energy inside of the physical body and going into it without thinking.[11] Do this for long enough, and the boundaries between you and everything else dissolve. This formless energy is the spirit, life, God, the Father. It is one sense of what Jesus was referring to when he said, ‘God’s kingdom is within you’[12], although he intended for that spirit to be integrated and fixed in you, which is not the natural state, but occurs in salvation. Such experiences are empirical proof of God, since ‘empirical’ as defined above means based upon experience. Forgiveness helps to prepare body and soul for the experience.[13] Even if you can’t get to the ‘oceanic feeling’,[14] everyone who wants to can at least feel their inner body or individual spirit, a part of, and a bridge to, the universal spirit.

Within formlessness is all form, including a creative personality, just as you (a form) have that formless divine spirit inside of you. God created the world through the Son or Logos, without whom ‘nothing was made that has been made’.[15] The Logos is translated as meaning, Word and divine wisdom, the ordering principle. Christ is the Son of God in many ways. The body of Jesus was conceived by God the Father, via the Holy Spirit, in the womb of the Virgin, and the soul of Jesus, which was the soul of Adam, the son of God[16] in that he had no human parents, merged permanently and completely with the Word when the Spirit of God descended upon him ‘as a dove’.[17] Hence Christ is the ‘Son of Man’[18] and the ‘Son of God’,[19] the Word who was there ‘in the beginning’[20] and Jesus of Nazareth, the craftsman of royal descent. There’s a Father in the Son and a Son in the Father, as Christ said in John 14:11. The Father, like heaven itself, can be ‘seen’[21], whilst also being formless. The ability of God to influence creation is the Holy Spirit, which contains Father and Son due to the shared essence of the three persons of the godhead.

An example from Genesis will help to illustrate how the persons of the Trinity function. God created the heavens, the earth and everything in them by his Word. He spoke, and it was done. The Word of God is the Logos that became one with Jesus’ soul, that was latent within God before he even started to speak, in a manner analogous to a person’s capacity for thinking and speaking in words, before anything is actually said. This capacity for thought and speech is inextricable from one’s personality. As John the Apostle put it, ‘the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’[22] The power of God’s words is the Holy Spirit, and the one who speaks is God the Father. There is no limit on prayers, and Christ cannot be too busy, because, although perfectly capable of operating within spacetime, he exists beyond it. The Lord is also distributed; everyone has their own personal Son, Father and Holy Spirit, but not everyone makes direct contact with these spiritual forces, and relatively few have assimilated them. As Justin Martyr explained, God is like a fire that lights other fires yet itself remains undiminished.[23] That is how Christ was able to speak with God in the Bible and how the order of the universe was maintained whilst the Word was incarnate.

In the dual meaning of the Trinity, expressed via the religious and esoteric numerology of 33, Father, Holy Spirit and Son stand for spirit, mind and body, respectively; creator, creating and creation. The soul – the mind in its widest sense – is poised between spirit and matter. Jesus, having already identified God as spirit, equated spirit with life when he said, ‘It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.’[24] What is the significance of this living spirit? ‘Most certainly I tell you, him who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life.’[25] Therefore, people are born without life, in a state of spiritual death. But those souls who receive life – spirit – from the Son of God become immortal, because they are exempt from destruction at the Last Judgement, though our works will be judged to determine our rewards at the bema judgement.[26] The Logos leads the soul towards reunification with spirit, and the deceiver faces matter with fear, desire and negativity. If the soul chooses dead, ephemeral matter over living, eternal spirit, logically it must eventually perish. The conditional immortality of the soul is niche within organized Christianity, but it is absolutely scriptural; Jesus said, ‘fear him who is able to destroy both body and soul in Gehenna’[27], a reference to the destruction of the spiritually dead on Judgement Day, and Saint Paul wrote that immortality must be sought, implying that it is not the default state of humanity.[28] If the body is healed, but the soul isn’t saved, all benefits are temporary. In short, the spirit created the mind and mind makes matter. Therefore, as the ultimate source of all creation, the spirit has power over minds and the material world (Steve Ozanich made a similar observation in The Great Pain Deception).

This worldview has a number of advantages. It explains not only the ‘normal’ functioning of physical laws, but also the observer effect in quantum mechanics – the disturbance of particles by the mere act of observation – and the evidence for paranormal phenomena such as ESP, miracles, telekinesis, reincarnation etc. cited above. It also explains precognition and prophecy; the future can be known in a world where events are predetermined by the omniscient Creator and interconnected minds, a world in which the ego’s concepts of past, present and future are jumbled together in the broader mind of the unconscious. The emergence of matter from the non-material – also known as creatio ex nihilo – is even part of the current cosmogony du jour, the Big Bang theory, which fails to explain why the Big Bang occurred. All data points fit with the one general law of mind (or soul) creating and shaping matter. As William of Ockham and Aristotle[29] observed, it is better not to posit multiple laws without necessity.

Thanks to the incarnation, resurrection and ascension of the Son of God, a crucial connection was established between humanity and the divine that enabled the apostles, saints and other devout Christians to absorb the Body of Christ (and therefore the other persons of the Trinity) by surrendering to him and opening the door to him. Jesus said, ‘I and the Father are one.’[30] ‘As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.’[31] This means that God the Father is the spirit and the life. In other words, he is immortal. Spirit is immortal because it is the opposite of ephemeral matter, the substance in which death takes place. Christ is immortal too because of the aforementioned unity of Father and Son. Anyone willing to become one with them by feeding on Christ will partake in their immortality. As Jesus said, ‘In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.’[32] The Father is in Christ. In turn, Christ – and by the transitive property, the eternal Father – is in ‘as many as received him’.[33] What we eat is taken inside of us, and becomes part of us, after all.

The name of Jesus Christ is crucial here, as that is the name the Son wants us to call him by; one reason for the incarnation was to provide a focal point for prayer. The main reason was summarised by Saint Athanasius: ‘The Son of God became Man so that Man might become God.’[34] For human souls to regain immortality they must reunite with the eternal from whence they came – God. But for that great mass transformation to be possible, God, he who gives and takes away,[35] had to descend upon and unite with a human soul, in a human body, which ascended to heaven as an exemplar and a combined substance that others can consume, not as ordinary physical flesh and blood, but as spiritual food for the sustenance of the soul and body. Jesus said, ‘No one comes to the Father, except through me’.[36] In addition to other reasons, especially the aforementioned unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, salvation is through Jesus because he is the only one who currently has an immortal glorified body that has been offered for consumption. Without that guarantee or seed of immortality within you, the soul will not pass judgement, and the body cannot become an eternal body. That does not mean that all souls who are not saved in this life will not be saved in another life. Many will return in the millennium, a mostly idyllic era of peace and longevity in which conditions for salvation will be optimal. Moreover, Christ’s sacrificial death was necessary to pay the blood price for humanity’s sins; we were incapable of saving ourselves, of atoning for sin unaided, so God atoned on our behalf through his Son. By drinking the Son’s blood, and making it part of ourselves, we atone by proxy. The metaphor here is the sacrifice and eating of the unblemished Passover lamb – a substitutionary slaying of a pure being in order to ward off divine punishment – by the ancient Jews in the Book of Exodus, and as part of the Mosaic covenant laws, which was a foreshadowing of Jesus, ‘the Lamb of God’.[37] Some people will ask, ‘why does sin have to be paid for?’ Well, if everyone’s sins were forgiven unconditionally, it would be unjust. Paradise would also not be paradise if it was full of sinners. Something meaningful has to be given as a sign that repentance is sincere. But unaided humanity was simply too poor (in spirit) to pay the price for sin. This dilemma was resolved through the incarnation of the divine Word, the rich benefactor who paid our debts for us, provided we actually collect his money, which is to say, his blood. In other words, Christ’s sacrifice was God lowering the bar for humanity to be saved, to the point where salvation became possible. Christ is thus the bridge or ‘way’[38] linking true Christians to the Father. If you don’t believe in Christ, the God-man, you don’t believe that you yourself can be divinized[39] and thus rule out the possibility of eternal life. Those with ears to hear Jesus’ message are those with the potential to become like him; his words resonate with the divine spirit inside of them, that is yearning to be ‘brought forth’,[40] and they are fascinated. Some people mistakenly believe that Christianity is a boring religion for the incurious, concerned mainly with singing hymns, judging others and attending church, but it is really all about making human beings into sons and daughters of God capable of performing astounding works, including miracles, through hidden knowledge and direct, mystical experience of the divine.

Jesus said that Simon would be the rock upon which his church was built.[41] But this is one of only two occasions when Jesus mentioned church in the gospels, and when he did, it was written as the Greek word ekklesia, which prior to the church age simply meant an assembly, a gathering of people, typically for the purpose of making decisions. My point here is that although Jesus intended for there to be a church, and prophesied correctly that there would be a church, church was not the emphasis of his teachings, because he didn’t talk about it much while he was incarnate on earth. Also, Jesus’ legitimisation of Peter as the rock of the Church does not mean that he approved of every one of the popes – I’m thinking particularly of Alexander VI – nor did he approve of everything they, other church leaders and priests have said and done. All too often the historical sins of Christians and churches – e.g. the Inquisition, the Crusaders’ atrocities – put people off Christ, and then they throw the baby Jesus out with the bathwater, when in reality the Lord taught us to turn the other cheek and he is not to blame for what some Christians have done in his name. The good that churches have done is also frequently overlooked in contemporary western culture; the Church was vital for the preservation and spread of the gospel, as well as other good works such as feeding the poor.

Churchgoing, priests and church sacraments can result in salvation, and can be beneficial in other ways, but they are not necessary for salvation.  I know that you don’t need rituals for salvation because my salvation had nothing to do with organised religion, though it was prompted by reading the gospels. When Cornelius and company received the Holy Spirit while Peter was speaking in Acts 10:44, it was prior to their baptism. God is everywhere, and he guides his own through their minds. Rituals such as Holy Communion and baptism are intended as tributes performed in memory of Jesus[42], public celebrations of private transformations, or affirmations meant to bring about inner spiritual experiences; in that regard, they have their place, but salvation does not depend on the sacraments, and they do not always result in salvation.

That being said, though I have no personal experience of it, I believe that transubstantiation can occur. But if someone eats the Communion wafer without believing that it is the Body of Christ, or without really believing in Jesus’ divinity, will they be truly saved by eating it? Similarly, being water-baptised as an infant incapable of consent, is not necessary or sufficient for salvation by itself. But if an older child or adult goes into water baptism understanding what it’s all about and giving themselves over to Christ, in that moment they can be saved. It is the faithful, yielding willingness to receive the spirit, and the actual reception of the spirit that saves, and this can be done anywhere if it is God’s will. The Body of Christ, the Holy Spirit and God the Father are united, so that when anyone receives one, they receive all three. It is not that important to God where or how people are saved; the main thing is for them to be saved. But to think they’re saved when they’re not by going through the motions and participating in the form of a ritual without keeping the spirit, is a dangerous complacency.

It is necessary to forgive those who wronged you in order to be forgiven by God,[44] because others represent the unconscious aspects of oneself, and you cannot put God first while anger or any other emotion rules the soul. Jesus likened the unforgiving to servants whose massive debt has been forgiven by the king, but who nonetheless hypocritically demand immediate payment from those who owe them smaller sums.[45] The deceiver, the real enemy, wants to play us against each other in order to strengthen itself. To forgive your enemies is to overcome the world, by defying the corrupt ways of the world.

How does salvation actually occur, then? Specifically?

To receive eternal life, say or write, ‘Christ, I let you into my house as a servant,’ or words to that effect. You need to truly mean it, have faith and trust in the Lord. Formerly, such things were hidden in parable, but the hour is late, the harvest is vast, and the time has come to reveal.

When salvation occurs, the individual soul or mind of the true Christian integrates the eternal spirit through union with Christ and is thereby immortalised and reborn. Rebirth is so important to God that he had his Son say, ‘Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he can’t enter into God’s kingdom.’[46] To be born again is to be born ‘from above’ into a different body[47], for ‘Flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom’, a Pauline saying with two meanings.[48] Everyone is born in the flesh, but only the chosen are born ‘in the spirit’[49] and are able to ‘see’ the Son of God.[50] Some of you may ask, who are these chosen? What makes them so special? God’s chosen are simply those who choose God and thereby become ‘God’s children’.[51] Children live because of their father and have their father in them. The good shepherd enters the sheep pen by the gate and leads his flock out to pastures new.[52] For all who drink of the ‘living water’,[53] it becomes a well in them ‘springing up to eternal life.’[54] The bridegroom impregnates the bride and delivers the new-born out of her. The Son of Man had to die in order to be resurrected.

But what does that mean? The Spirit of God enters the body (one is reborn in living water by drinking it) and leaves it for heaven, together with the soul (a birth in the spirit), before returning to its dwelling. That is the meaning of rebirth in water and spirit, in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, which in this sense is a literal heavenly kingdom, invisible to the eyes but visible to the ‘eye’. Rebirth is also what Saint Paul was referring to when he wrote about being ‘blessed…in the heavenly places’[55] and ‘I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago ­– whether in the body or out of the body I don’t know; God knows.’[56] In another sense, though, water (as in living water) and spirit are synonyms, because the assimilation of God’s spirit is salvation, and does constitute becoming a child of God in that God is thereafter a source of life within you. Anyone who takes the spirit but does not leave the body for heaven and return to it, whether for lack of time or some other reason, is nonetheless saved and can be assured that they will go to heaven upon death and be resurrected into either the earthly millennial kingdom or the New Jerusalem, provided they abided in Christ unto death. The minimum initial requirements for being given salvation, therefore, are believing and receiving, because you can’t receive the spirit if you don’t believe in Christ and God, but to maintain that status requires an unspecified amount of good works and rejection of sin, that depends on the individual’s abilities and circumstances. Salvation is indeed a gift of God, that we could not achieve on our own, but you have to actually receive a gift in order to possess it and make an effort to use it in order not to lose it.

Then, just as Jesus gained an immortal body and ascended to heaven after his resurrection, all true Christians, whether dead or alive, will at some point in the future have their flesh transformed into a new spiritualised body that cannot die or suffer hunger and thirst. It is a glorified flesh body such as Jesus possesses, both physical and spiritual, tangible yet incorruptible. The dead will be resurrected in these glorified bodies and rise to ‘meet the Lord in the air’,[57] which is the other meaning behind ‘a well in you springing up to eternal life’. Those who are alive on that day will be translated into eternal bodies ‘in the twinkling of an eye’[58] and join the resurrected without tasting death, except in the sense of rebirth. This is what Christians mean by the rapture. The word rapture comes from Latin verb rapio (‘I seize’, ‘I carry off’) equivalent to the Greek verb harpazō (‘I seize, I snatch away’) used by Saint Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:17.[59] The timing of the transformation depends on God’s will and the time each believer lived and died; a little understood meaning of ‘many will be last who are first, and first who are last’[60] is that those who are saved last in the current age will be the first to receive their eternal bodies with which to enter the millennial kingdom, and many (but not all) of those who were saved first, i.e. the early Christians, will come into their glorified bodies later, for the Last Judgement, and use them to enter the New Jerusalem. Hence in Revelation, John differentiated between a ‘first resurrection’[61] and a second resurrection, and in Jesus’ parable the last vineyard workers hired are the first to be paid, and the first workers hired are paid last, despite the fact they laboured for longer.[62] This is a different topic altogether that I will address at length in Part 3 of this book, along with the various objections to that eschatological position. This mass transformation will happen because we are part of the Body of Christ, the same body we have taken inside of ourselves, a body which has already become immortal. The Spirit planted in the body is a ‘pledge’[63] from God, a guarantee of eternal life to those who keep his Word.[64] The proof of the future glorified immortal body or resurrection body, and indeed the proof of Christ’s divinity, is the tangible presence of Christ’s body within your own body, after salvation. You feel it, physically, and there is no doubt that something has changed. The spirit is called a pledge and a guarantee, because it is something you know is there. Jesus likened the Kingdom of Heaven to a tiny grain of mustard seed sewn in a field, that will grow into a large tree;[65] an invisible spirit (the tiny grain) belonging to an otherworldly kingdom planted in at first just one physical body (the field), leading to a plethora of visibly glorified spiritual bodies living in an obviously large and powerful kingdom (the large tree with many branches). This sheds further light on the saying: ‘“if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”’[66] Jesus also compared the Kingdom of Heaven to ‘yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.’[67] Again, the meaning is that the Spirit of God (the yeast) must enter into the body (the meal) in order for it to change and rise immortal (be leavened). This is the other, fixed meaning of, ‘God’s kingdom is within you.’[68] In a nutshell, the divine had to become flesh so that flesh could be divinized. Ultimately, these glorified bodies will enter into the New Jerusalem, the deathless kingdom of a paradisiacal new earth made of spiritualised matter; not the hard, sluggish matter we currently have.

To live forever in the eternal kingdom, it is necessary to be ‘changed’ via resurrection and translation because ‘flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s kingdom; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable’.[69] Astute readers will have realised that there are actually three kingdoms, three meanings of ‘God’s kingdom’: the Kingdom of Heaven, to which believers in the present age go after death and visit during rebirth experiences; the millennial kingdom on this earth, to be ruled personally by Christ and his saints for ‘a thousand years’;[70] and the kingdom of the New Jerusalem on the new earth,[71] which comes after the millennium and will endure forever. Simply going to heaven for eternity in the soul was deemed insufficient by God, who wishes ‘to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth.’[72] God wants to redeem matter and bodies, not simply leave them behind like chrysalises, in order to win the ‘victory’ over sin and death.[73] The eternal kingdom will not be made of what we currently think of as matter, but of a different, combined substance corresponding to the glorified body of Christ. As such, it is logically impossible for ordinary flesh to enter, just as we cannot survive in outer space without first putting on a spacesuit.

Of all the prophets and apostles, Saint Paul had the most to say about the Resurrection. ‘It is sewn a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.’[74] Paul here was not writing about the soul leaving the corpse for heaven, he was writing about the spiritualisation of the physical body for all eternity. ‘The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a live-giving spirit. However, that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.’[75] ‘As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.’[76] The last Adam is Christ. Just as humans currently look like the first Adam, one day all the saved will look like the glorified Christ. The Son of God had to die, be resurrected and ascend, in order to enable us to do likewise through the Christ within our own bodies. Another purpose was to demonstrate the Resurrection and glorification to humanity, that they might hope to one day follow the Lord’s example. If Christ had been translated, and ascended, without first dying and being resurrected, then it would have been harder for dead Christians to hope in their own eventual resurrection while they were alive. Therefore, God sacrificed his Son, and the Son sacrificed himself.

All follows from salvation, just as seeds must be sewn within fertile ground for the wheat crop to grow, which is why it is emphasised above all the ‘don’ts’ here and in John’s gospel. If you think you cannot behave according to Christian morality, then you must know that once you are reborn, you won’t be your old self again – you will be you + Jesus, serving God in your own unique way, according to your abilities. Not everyone must undertake a grand ministry, and God will not ask you to do more than you are capable of, but ‘to whomever much is given, of him will much be required’.[77] Attempting to adhere to Christian ethics without having Christ fixed within you is impossible and makes one liable to projection. That is why the virtues are called, ‘the fruit of the Spirit.’[78] God doesn’t expect you to be perfect straight off the bat; sanctification is typically a gradual process, with plenty of forgiveness along the way. The Mosaic covenant and the historic difficulty in keeping it (which any people would have experienced) was necessary for many reasons. Two of those reasons were to learn what sin is and to demonstrate that it was impossible for humanity, or at any rate, most men and women, to be free of sin by their own efforts.[79] Hence the Spirit of God had to be poured out in streams of living water from heaven so that Man could be given a new nature and Saint Paul wrote that this new covenant of Jesus’ blood[80] superseded the older one, though early Christians like Justin Martyr believed that attempting to follow Mosaic law or some aspects thereof was not incompatible with salvation provided one also kept the new law of Christ.[81] Christ’s two commandments – to love God with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself – summarise the spirit of the Mosaic covenant, so that he said of them, ‘the whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.’[82] Love here is not merely the feeling of love, but a practical willingness to help. When you’re stuck in a hole, you need a rope more than you need sympathy.

By aligning themselves with divine will, and becoming servants of the Lord, the saints were delegated authority to direct the very force that created the world, as chronicled in Acts. The result was spectacular healing miracles that were similar to the ones Jesus performed, because the same agency was involved; he was acting through them. The blind could see. Lepers were healed. The paralysed could walk. The dead were raised.

If further or more modern evidence of the healing power of faith and God is needed, Lourdes is the logical place to look. Since a young girl saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary there in the 19th century, the area has been sanctified. The waters from the springs have had incredible healing effects. 70 cases of miraculous healing at the sanctuary have been officially recognised by the Catholic Church and validated by the Lourdes Medical Bureau, a team of doctors who thoroughly investigate all claims according to strict criteria. There are thousands who were healed, but do not meet these high standards. The confirmed miracles include: a woman with severe rheumatic heart disease that would likely have proven fatal, a man who was blinded by a mine blast, and a boy who was paralysed and suffered from severe tuberculosis, all of whom were completely healed after being exposed to the waters at Lourdes.[83]

The mechanism of prayer is for the supplicant to make a request of God with the mind, which passes through his or her individual spirit to the universal spirit. The Spirit of the Lord then acts upon the spirit, mind and body of the recipient. The supplicant can be the same person as the recipient or a different person. A supplicant with faith and a recipient who is at least unopposed are necessary to get a result, because the Holy Spirit manifests in matter through the mind, and the mind can block these manifestations. ‘But let him ask in faith without any doubting.’[84] It works because the spirit is the common origin of all creation, present within everyone, and on the level of spirit everything is much more strongly connected than it is in the world of apparently separate phenomena. Prayer can work if the medium is not saved, but it is far more effective when the supplicant is one with God. Jesus said to his disciples, and to all who truly followed him, ‘if you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.’[85] To paraphrase what Jesus says in my novel, The Son of Christ: ‘The Sons are many, but we all have our Lord and Father in common. Therefore, one who is united with the Father has authority to heal the sick.’

The mechanics of thaumaturgy were also expressed metaphorically in The Gospel of Thomas: when two make peace in their one house, they will say to the mountain, move, and it will move. The two are the soul and the spirit – the individual mind and God – the house is the physical body, and the unification of all three parts to save the soul, ensure it passes judgement, and perform miracles, is the Christian ideal. The meaning of this apocryphal saying is the same as the previous one about moving mountains in the Gospel of Matthew, since the grain of mustard seed is the spirit.

Of course, such power does not work if it is not in accordance with God’s will. It backfires if one attempts to wield it for sinful ends. Contrary to what certain Christians and positive thinking enthusiasts believe, God’s will is generally for his servants to be altruistic rather than fulfil all of their materialistic desires. The reason for this is that selfless acts are in accordance with the spirit of God, whereas selfishness derives from the narrow perspective of the ego. In other words, good deeds value the universal above the particular, the eternal above the transient. Ironically, altruism is in everyone’s self-interest since it engenders immortality; ignorance and temptation just prevent the truth from being perceived. If someone is what we think of as ‘selfish’ they may gain in the short term but in the long run, they are actually self-destructive. Therefore, wisdom is indistinguishable from Christian morality. Win-win scenarios such as the divine bargain are usually fine. Praying to be delivered from a dire situation in a way that does not harm others is of course permitted. Asking to be healed does not incur a punishment. The Bible is very firm on that score. The main guiding principles with prayer are the same as those for ethical behaviour in general: ‘love your neighbour as yourself,’[86] ‘whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them,’[87] and that inconsistently observed mainstay of the Hippocratic oath, ‘do no harm’. What exactly constitutes an overly selfish request is sometimes a fine line that becomes clearer through experience. If you find yourself in a quandary, you may ask Christ to send a sign that will clarify what you should do. Or, better yet, you can pray as King Solomon did: for understanding, to know what is right.[88] That includes knowledge of what it is right to pray for in any given situation.

The Solomonic prayer is undoubtedly one of the best prayers that it is possible to make. It is a fast track to discernment, that can save years, decades or even lifetimes of learning. God was pleased with Solomon’s prayer because he knows that ignorance is at the bottom of all suffering. Discerning right from wrong, good from evil and true from false is one of the hardest yet most important parts of life on earth. Commandments are laid down in the Bible, but their application is sometimes context sensitive; to receive the wisdom of Solomon is to have clear answers to hand in any given situation. Once you know the truth, all you need do is act on it. Admittedly, this is easier said than done; Solomon knew what was right and yet he was tempted to sin. A good addition to Solomon’s prayer – or an alternative – is to ask God to make your mind an impregnable fortress against false beliefs and fears, and give you faith to allow the prayer, and other righteous prayers, to be granted and sustained forever. This prayer bestows peace of mind, the courage to do what is right, protects against false beliefs and fears which can create many difficulties, increases comprehension of scripture and boosts success in prayer. God loves a shrewd prayer.

A good solid prayer for Godmindbody healing goes like this: ‘Christ, please heal me completely and permanently, body and mind, including the anxiety, without any symptom substitution.’ The specificity of the prayer is simply a way to deny the deceiver the slightest shred of doubt or the faintest sign of a loophole, on our end. Alternatively, there is the divine bargain: ‘Christ, please heal me so I can more effectively serve you and help others.’ This can make the supplicant feel more deserving of divine mercy than would otherwise be the case and is an excellent segue into salvation and discipleship. When ‘you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.’[89] And when ‘you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.’[90] The rationale here is to keep the works pure in motive, so that they will pass the bema judgement and you can receive your rewards from God in paradise. What kind of deeds was Jesus talking about? What are ‘good works?’ Basically, helping others and serving God. Healing the sick. Saving souls. Giving to the poor. Spreading truthful and useful information, which does not have to be your own original work but could simply be the gospel, the Bible and/or Doctor Sarno’s books. God likes it when you praise him and profess your faith in front of others, because that makes it more likely that they too will come to know him. The effects of all these benevolent activities can be multiplied by prayer. That is part of ‘love your neighbour.’ We each help in our own way, according to our ability.

The truth is out there, and everything you need is in the Bible, but it has been scattered across the churches and esoteric schools, like seeds blown across various fields by the wind. The pieces of the jigsaw puzzle must be gathered together for the whole picture to be seen. Catholics teach that faith and good works are needed for the soul to pass judgement; as James the Just wrote, ‘faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself’.[91] Protestants tend to believe that faith alone is necessary to be saved or ‘justified’, though some believe that status can be taken away through an excess of sin or loss of faith. Many Protestants also believe that genuine faith naturally produces good works, and that believers should strive for sanctification through obedience to God’s will. Most Gnostics – esoteric Christians considered heretical by the Church – taught that experiential knowledge or gnosis of God is sufficient for immortality, not faith or good deeds. In reality, faith, knowledge and works are necessary for salvation and its upkeep. When Jesus said, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent’[92] and ‘Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life’,[93] it was shortly followed by ‘…unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves’[94] and ‘I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.’[95] The ‘bread of life’ and ‘living water’ are code phrases for the ascended body – or flesh and blood – of Christ, who is one with the Spirit of God. In the same gospel, Christ also clearly said, ‘Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he [the Father] takes away.’[96] The obvious implication of these statements is that if you believe in Jesus, you’ll do what he says – or at least the essentials. That is, you’ll assimilate his spirit (eat him), be useful (bear good fruit), and thereby obtain and maintain salvation. There is a general expectation for the saved to be good and helpful, that is deliberately left vague in deference to Christ’s role as judge.

The parable of the talents in the Gospel of Matthew illustrates the importance of service. It is about a master who entrusted three servants with talents, each according to his ability. The master went away. After a while, he returned to see how they had invested his money. The servants who traded or invested their talents and made more were rewarded. The one who did nothing with his talent had it taken away from him and was cast into ‘outer darkness.’[97] The servants are in one sense saved Christians and the master is Jesus, who will be back. The money here, as in the parable of the vineyard workers, is a symbol for the spirit given by God, in addition to people’s abilities. The two are connected; the spirit provides gifts. A saved person who falls away into serious unrepentant sin – the exact conditions are determined by God on a case by case basis – risks separating themselves from Christ by effectively rejecting what he stands for. It is servants of God who are saved. Servants serve. The Lord’s presence, though patient, is incompatible with a certain amount of sin, which may cause it to withdraw. Even Paul, the Bible’s champion of salvation through faith, acknowledged the possibility of losing salvation when he addressed Christians thusly: ‘See then the goodness and the severity of God. Towards those who fell, severity, but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off’.[98] Of course, the Spirit of God may return if repentance is sincere, but it is preferable to never be in that position.

The Old Testament is full of stories about ancients who worshipped idols and were punished for it in diverse ways, alternating with tales of righteous kings who were loyal to God and received their rewards in sometimes miraculous ways. The main message from the Bible as a whole, therefore, is ‘it is better to obey God than to disobey him.’ That is the proper use of mind and body.

Faith, works and knowledge are symbiotic; knowledge turns a nonbeliever into a believer. Answered prayers are proof of the Son of God, who will ‘reveal’ himself to those who love him and do his will.[99] Then instead of only believing, ‘you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free’. Indeed, Jesus equated immortality with knowing the Father and the Son: ‘This is eternal life; that they may know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.’[100] It is through such revelatory – or ‘gnostic’ – experiences of the divine that salvation occurs, but ‘book’ knowledge (even if it is second-hand), faith and an unspecified amount of good works and sin-avoidance are required to get you there and keep you there. The more you know, the easier it is to have faith, and the more faith you have, the more knowledge is gained from the tangible effects of faithful works. A similar feedback loop applies to the mindbody connection.

So, to summarize:

In order to heal TMS, you must understand that the symptoms are mindbody, are caused by fear of symptoms – especially fear of structural damage – and negative expectations about health and undo the fear and nocebo by making an informed decision in the light of the above knowledge that a full recovery will occur. Say it aloud, if you want: ‘I will fully recover.’ Fear is killed and confidence bolstered by the knowledge that pain and other symptoms are mentally generated, not structurally caused (or if there is a structural abnormality, it may not be the true cause of the symptoms), and can be healed through a mindbody approach, because others have done it before. If you know you have TMS, a benign condition that most people with the right mindset recover from, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Symptoms thus decrease and disappear. But it’s necessary to walk the walk by resuming normal activities and ceasing all unnecessary interventions, once the information is well understood and fear is under control, to show the deceiver that you don’t believe it and you really aren’t afraid anymore.

To make it even more straightforward, TMS can be summarised with the following formula: believe you’re sick, and you are. Believe you’ll heal – act accordingly – and you will.

‘According to your faith, be it done to you.’

[16] Christ is referred to by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:45 as ‘the last Adam.’ Adam’s disobedience in eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge, that led to death, was corrected by Christ’s obedience on another tree (the cross), which enabled us to eat from the tree of life. Jesus’ bravery in the Garden of Gethsemane was the undoing of Adam’s missteps in the Garden of Eden. Moreover, Jesus was crucified in Golgotha, the place of the skull, the legendary site where Adam’s skull was buried. The first to descend was the first to ascend in glory. This gives new meaning to the verse, uttered by Jesus in Revelation 22:13: ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.’ Edgar Cayce channelled a similar message about Jesus being the reincarnation of Adam.
