Balancing Life

I have told you, often, that the balance of life here in the earth is becoming bothersome to Me, and that I shall take action or allow conditions that produce a better balance. There is an interesting analog in your culture’s present attempts to balance your national budget. Hear Me, o son, on a cool Spring morning as I talk to you about balancing, a responsibility I do not give up.

I am the Creator of this earth scene… I, your Triune God. I have caused and allowed many life forms to develop, in different balances at different times. I sustain life as well as create it. But death is also an important part of this plane, and I, through My Holy Scriptures, am somewhat responsible for the notion that death is evil and to be avoided, at almost any cost. The dominating Scriptures don’t encourage this judgment, but it is strong in your culture, as you are quite aware.

The Genesis story includes a tale of My almost eliminating human life with a gigantic, unbelievable flood. Then I promised not to do that ever again. Some interpreted that it would be fire “next time,” even the fire of nuclear war. Even as that is still a possibility I have told you that I have prevented this, as a remedy too drastic for this “problem” of increasing human life.

Your culture and its media tend to report on all forms of death as newsworthy, from small wars to natural occurrences (floods, tornadoes), to re-outbreaks of disease. Now there is attention again to a tiny form of virus, causing deaths in a small central African country. Will it mutate still further and spread through the earth, causing a terrible untreatable sickness, fatal in most cases? That is a balance I now am considering.

Cancer is one of the consequences of the “good life” that your culture has created and exported. It shall continue to increase with industrial growth and the surge in the human population. Your approach to your possible cancer is one of which I approve: help your body, in gentle, non-invasive means, to develop a non-cancerous balance. Don’t treat these cells as enemies, but just as cells to be kept in balance for continued productive life.

Your medical care system often seems to be modeled after your military way of thinking. Define enemies and go forth to kill them, for otherwise they will kill you. Kill cancer cells… with radiation, almost the most harmful form of energy against human life. Kill organisms that bring illness and death. Note the political analog: the countries that you defeated in a great war 50 years ago are now those you work with, and isn’t it interesting to see them as or more prosperous than your country is?

Your country is prosperous and rich, but it also has a huge debt and a large yearly deficit. One of the ways of reducing that deficit is reducing payments of medical bills by the government. This could begin to encourage more healthful living, a more natural balance with forces that medically are seen as enemies, and a greater acceptance of death as a natural consequence of life. If you’re going to die, and you are, do it well.
