Greetings from Russell's Remnant:                                                                                  www.oocities.org/dkone_us

            As we now all know, Russell has had a strong connection to the 7th Ray for lifetimes – the ray that is associated with the Rosicrucians. The following healing information comes from the Rosicrucian’s Occult Principles of Health and Healing by Max Heindel:

            The spleen is the gateway of the vital body.  Thoughts of worry, fear, and anger interfere with the process of evaporation in the spleen.  It may be said that the person of a jovial good nature, or one who is devoutly religious and has an absolute faith and trust in divine providence and love, will register many less lost opportunities or white corpuscles than those who are always worrying and fretting.  It is only through the red corpuscles that the Ego is able to work.  Whenever we allow ourselves to be negative we manufacture white corpuscles, which are destroyers.

          Healing is a demonstration of applied knowledge.  In proportion as Christ is formed in us we attain to health.  Every one of us should learn to love our God with our whole heart and our whole soul and our brother as ourselves, for all our trouble in the world comes from the one great fact of our selfishness.  In every case selfishness is the prime cause of most diseases.

Where a man lives mostly in the higher nature, his spiritual vehicles are nourished to the detriment of the lower.

Realizing human impotence we are more ready to turn to divine power for succor then than at other times.

           The law of Nature is absolutely sure.  It is disobedience that brings disease.  Obedience, whether washing in the Jordan or stretching forth a hand, shows a change of mind; and the man is therefore in a position to receive the healing balm which may come through the Christ or through a healer.  There are three factors in healing: the power of the Father in Heaven, the healer, and the obedient mind of the patient upon which the power of the Father can act through the healer as to dispel all bodily ills.  This all pervading power of the Father is always available to cure all ills of whatever nature; that is the great certainty.

          If we obtain accurate knowledge concerning the direct cause of the inharmony and remedy it, the physical manifestation of disease will shortly disappear.  There are higher laws which may supersede the laws of Nature.  The forgiveness of sins upon recognition thereof and true repentance is made to supersede the law which demands and eye for an eye.

         There is one great truth: Members of the Order aim to heal the sick and have superior means of accomplishing this benevolent purpose.

            The Rosicrucian System of Healing, that depends upon a knowledge of planetary inharmonies which cause disease and the correcting influence which will remedy the same, has sufficed in all the instances which have come under our notice to date.  However, there is a more powerful method which may accelerate recovery where the sincere and heartfelt recognition of wrong exists and may even obliterate the effects of disease before destiny would otherwise decree.

            The Elder Brothers use the Law of Compatibility in apportioning patients among Invisible Helpers, which is the key to the success we have had in benefiting all who have applied to Headquarters for help.

            Association of Probationers in Centers of Healing furnishes the material in which the Elder Brothers may kindle the Spiritual Fire required to heal physical, moral, and mental ailments.

            There shall no evil befall us so long as we show our faith by our works: live a common sense life, feed our bodies upon pure food, taking sufficient exercise, and keeping mentally active.

            Joy will sometimes bring the patient out of the sick room quicker than any medicine.  If something has happened to give his affairs a sudden upward turn, so that he becomes optimist, disease seems to disappear as if by magic.  It is a necessity to cultivate an attitude of optimism.  A hopeful mind is the greatest of all medicine.

           Stop talking of your ailments to others.  Divert your own thoughts from your condition.

Endeavor to perform calmly and quietly the exercises of Retrospection and Concentration.  You will experience a very beneficial effect particularly if you relax every muscle during the exercises.

            Russell Whitesell’s teacher was a major factor in the Rosicrucian movement here in the United States.  He backed both Rosicrucian groups – the Oceanside and the AMORC, but withdrew his support from the AMORC group for they were materialistically motivated.  He continued to back the Oceanside group for they were not so motivated.
