PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
George and Christine Neo of Yogaplex Yoga School in Upwey, Victoria, recently joined the pilgrimage of millions of people worldwide to this place of spiritual cures. They personally experienced an ‘operation’ (spiritual surgery) that heals conditions considered impossible with modern medical science. They also witnessed physical surgeries where the entity, through medium Joao, slices open a recipient’s abdomen, pushes his fingers in or uses surgical implements that have not been sterilised, all without pain, and just a little blood. Then the wound was stitched up, according to surgical procedure, normally a very painful experience without anaesthetic. From their adjacent vantage point, they report that this was no trick.
Physical surgery is quite rare, as spiritual surgery is adequate, but helps bolster the ‘belief system’ of those who doubt, and is often a public display (there are many John of God ‘surgery’ videos on YouTube). Christine also witnessed an astonishing physical surgery, where a hemostat (a six-inch surgical tool) is thrust into a person’s nose, seemingly into the brain of all places. Again, healing rather than ill-effects and pain are reported from such a procedure. They suggest that, if you can stomach it, watch examples of this surgery, but they remind us that such procedures are not necessary for you or anyone, and are never performed outside of Brazil.
his healing centre called the Casa de Dom Inacio is a bust of St. Ignatius of Loyola inscribed with the words. “For those who believe no words are necessary; for those who do not, no words are possible.” Although our first reaction is usually to decide to which side of that equation we belong, there is a deeper message. Since no words are needed or possible, the truth lies in silence. It is only as we silence ourselves that we become aware of the spiritual reality and we are able to participate in the healing process.
When people ask John of God what
they can do to heal themselves he usually responds: “Love God above everything else.” Sometimes it is hard to hear this answer because we want practical tips, but that is the ultimate tip. John of God is pointing to the fact that we must make God our first priority. Beyond every other desire we must desire God; we must love God. We must acknowledge the fact that we have a creator and we must be humble and ask for help. We also must be willing to undertake the journey of fulfilling our part in the process. In our busy lives full of commitments
and requirements, it is sometimes hard to become still enough or to always put God first in our thoughts and actions.
That is why being in the presence of someone who can steadily hold that commitment to placing God above everything else can help catapult us forward in our ability to love God and manifest our own healing. Doing that with hundreds or even thousands of other kindred spirits only enhances the experience. John of God was given a profound gift of spiritual discernment and power and he has honed that gift by dedicating the last 60 years of his life to helping people heal. He also has the assistance of elevated benevolent spirits that accompany him on his mission. Everyone that spends time in his presence, regardless of their spiritual experience, acknowledges being touched in a way they many times cannot explain. They often report new activity in their dreams and new visions during meditation. This November, John of God will
visit Sydney and hold a three-day prayer, meditation and healing event.
