-
We live only once, therefore, we should live life to the fullest. D. In
pursuit of spiritual development, we live again and again in different
physical bodies in order to learn and gain experiences. This is Reincarnation.
-
All men are born equal. D. All spirits were created equal. Since then,
however, each of us, through our own efforts, has attained to varying levels
in the order of evolution. When we are born on earth, we bring with us
the essence of all that we have already learned in our past incarnations.
This explains why, even in our early years, some of us are more developed
in knowledge and talents than others.
-
It cannot be true if it cannot be confirmed by scientific investigation.
D. Science, as a general rule, accepts only what the five senses can perceive
and those that can be perceived by the most advanced scientific instruments.
However, there is so much more in nature that lie beyond the realm of the
physical. These non-material vibrations are as yet undetectable by our
most powerful scientific instruments and, hence, cannot be accepted by
science. However, the more spiritual things and higher spiritual laws exist
and, in fact, take precedence over those matters and concerns that are
purely physical.
-
Occult practices are of the Devil. D. Occult practices are simply put,
those practices which are subject to natural laws but which laws are hidden
or largely unknown. Therefore, we need only to study them to better understand
their operation. Occult practices are neither good nor bad but take on
such a character depending on the use to which they are applied.
-
We are humans with spirits or souls. D. We are spirit beings with a soul
(causal self) which distills the essence of all that we are learning. In
our journey to perfection, we make use of many different bodies (vehicles)
which enable us to manifest and learn our lessons in the appropriate plane
of nature. Humanity is just one of the elementary stages that we undergo
in our pursuit of spiritual perfection.
The soul survives death and is the temporary repository of all that we
have learned and all the pending karmic consequences incurred from our
past incarnations that we will have to meet and resolve in future incarnations.
However, once all the lessons of the lower planes are learned or the soul
is perfected, then the soul, itself, will be merged and assimilated into
the spirit consciousness.
-
Ghosts are figments of the imagination. D. A ghost is a spirit entity who
is no longer attached to his physical body but is now clothed, instead,
in his astral body. A ghost is very real, indeed, and can be seen by those
who are clairvoyant.
Usually, we use the word ghost to refer to discarnate entities and earthbound
spirits who are unable to immediately transition to the Spirit World because
they are still very much attached to matter or because they feel the need
to attend to some unfinished business.
They are allowed to stay a while longer here mainly to prove the survival
of the Spirit and the reality of the Spirit World, especially apprising
us of the conditions of life immediately after death. The added insights
enable us to be better prepared for the time when we ourselves will be
transitioning to the Greater Reality.
-
Whites are superior to blacks. D. Spiritual attainment does not depend
on the color of one’s skin. Character is the true basis of spirituality
and superiority.
-
Diseases are outward physical manifestations of character deficiencies.
A. Spiritual defects or character deficiencies lie at the root of all physical
disorders. They are due to ignorance and underdevelopment and manifest
outward in the physical body in the form of diseases and ailments. By studying
our own particular ailments, we should be able to discover our faults and
weaknesses.
-
Diseases should be totally eradicated. D. Our spiritual deficiencies should
be eradicated or our character should be reformed and refined. However,
diseases serve a very useful purpose by awakening us to our deficiencies.
Without them, it may be very much harder for us to realize our faults.
Diseases have very great instructional value and are very necessary for
those of us still here on Earth, and so should not be totally eradicated.
-
Death is the end of life. D. At death, we cast aside our gross physical
body and we transition into a far greater reality. Life then continues
in the Spirit World. It is, in fact, a resumption of the true life, a return
to our true home.
-
A healer can heal our bodies but only we can heal ourselves. A. To effect
a complete healing, the root causes at the spiritual level must also be
addressed. Otherwise, even if the healer is able to heal the body, the
ailment will recur over and over again. Regarding the spiritual, everything
must come as a result of our own efforts and strivings. In the final analysis,
only we can heal ourselves.
-
There is no life on other planets. D. According to clairvoyants and astral
travelers, there is life on other planets but not necessarily in the form
to which we are accustomed. In fact, we were previous occupants and students
and, in the future, we will be continuing with our development in these
other worlds.
-
Psychic powers won’t work if used for evil purposes. D. The law operates
whether used for good or bad. However, if we sow evil, then evil will return
to us. We reap what we sow.
-
Even an inept healer can heal if God so wills. A. Nothing is impossible
to God. He makes do with what is available, even an inexperienced and bumbling
medium-healer. In fact, God can heal even without any physical counterpart
healer.
-
Psychic surgery is the highest form of healing. D. All methods of healing
are equal in value. What is important is that the patient gets healed.
-
Healers and mediums are not entitled to material compensation, as God’s
gifts should be given freely. D. Mediums and healers attained to their
level of proficiency only after continuous development in past incarnations.
Therefore, their skills are definitely not freely gotten gifts. In addition,
they render a valuable service for which they are entitled to fair compensation.
Moreover, the time that a medium or a healer spends in pursuit of a normal
occupation is time wasted, because such should have been best utilized
in the development of his mediumship or in the service of those in need.
Jesus agrees and so he instructed his disciples to freely accept the hospitality
of the people in return for their spiritual services. He told them, "Those
you help should feed and care for you. A laborer is worthy of his hire."
-
Healers are always in the service of God. D. They are if they serve with
God or service to their fellowmen foremost in their minds and hearts, but
not if they are merely into healing to serve their own selfish material
interests or if they put their own interests first above that of their
patients.
-
The ability to heal is a gift from God. D. The ability to heal, like any
other skill is the result of development even in past lives and, therefore,
it is not a gift and neither is it freely gotten.
-
Psychic development is necessary before we can advance spiritually. D.
Spiritual development relates to character development and does not depend
on the possession of psychic faculties. These two are distinct and separate
and their development may proceed independently from one another.
-
The physical body is just as important as the spirit self. D. The spirit
is what is important. The physical body is expendable and disposable, and
is replaced with every incarnation.
