Healer

Peter Morris is a heater, but
he doesn’t practise his craft with
pills or potions of all the other
paraphernelia ’ of modern
medicine.

Peter Morris is a spiritual -

healer, and a member of the Na-
tional Federation of Spiritual
Healers of Great Britain. He was
recently at the Nirvana Meta-
physics Center in Terrace for
lectures and private consulta-
tions.

A ship builder by trade, and a
man who has a deep and abiding
love for the sea, Morris looks

spiritual healer to look like. He
doesn’t wear long white robes or

is not unusual at all, and is one

His first experience with the
spirit world was in England dur-
ing the war when he was about
seven years old. On his way to
school one morning he was
walking past a house that had
been bombed the night before.
Two men were cairying a

Your swan’s neck looks more like it |

worse — maybe you have no neck at

all!

The best dressed neck looks neither
too long nor too short. How can you make a too-long neck look
shorter, or a short, fat neck look long and slender?

What does look good is round necklines, soft cowls and boat-

_ The Jong neck (don

the envy of every short neck. Hold your head high and proud.

The Short of it

The short neck, topped by a round face, should avoid high tur-
tle necks, round collars that emphasize face shape, high ruffled

collars, and choker necklaces.

Make a short neck look longer with V-necklines (wear shirts:

and blouses with the top two or three buttons open), wide

U-necklines, and long necklaces or chains.
The short neck, topped by a square face, should avoid high

One Too Many

The neck topped with a dowble chin should stay away from
high chokers at the throat, large, stiff collars, big bows, big - «

Provide a distraction with open collars, V-necklines, long pen-

dants worn low on the chest.
Uplifting Thoughts

We may not have been born with the perfect-shaped face or
the perfect length of neck, but we can play the artist and create
the illusion of perfection. Simple and easy, a flatteting neckline
‘and.an attractive hairstyle (which we analyzed last week) can be a
definite bonus, and make us feel better about the shape we are

‘on top.

‘As a teenager | was known for
awhile as Peter The Gook.”

It was during his early medita-
tions that Morris became in-
terested in healing. While in
meditation he would move into a
trance state and be visited by

‘“eminent people from spirit who

would take him into teaching
areas. He says the experiences
and lessons came at the same
time.

Morris says we all have spirits

“and guides, that we're like a
_ team. For whatever reason we.

‘come to the earth ‘‘plane,”’

whether it’s for a new adventure.

or to rehash an old one, we leave

part of our team back in spirit;
_ they are there to help us when we

start to look for that help. °

When asked why so many of
"us never seem to experience any
of this, Morris replied that most
people simply don’t devote
enough time to it, or that we try
too hard and this can cause
distractions. “It’s a very light
energy, a very gentle energy.
Some energies are as fine as a
feather touching the fine hairs
on your face; ‘ghosts’ don’t
make noise.”’

Meditation itself is a healing
process that he says has nothing
to do. with negative energy. It’s
an in-built ability that all human
beings have, and has been writ-
ten about many times. He gives
the bible as an example; there

are references to the body’s

spirit having the ability to repair
and look after itself. He adds
that visiting angels, complete in
the classical sense of having
wings and a tremendous ra-
diance, are often present in
spiritual healing.

Morris points out that re-
covery from a disease or illness
or injury of some kind is not
done by the healer, it is done by

’ «the individual themselves. If an

individual has decided that they

will die of a heart attack at noon —
_ today, then they probably will”
despite. modern medicine or

spiritual healers; the individual
always makes the choice. What
the healer does is to help the per-
son realize that they can heal

' themselves.

“Cancer is an interesting
disease because we all have it.
Every human being has the can-
cer cell within them. It’s become
painfully obvious that if we can
‘manifest this disease then we
should be able to transmute this
disease.”

Spiritual healers are now ac-
cepted in hospitals in England,
something which has come
about in just the last 10 or 15
years, ‘‘The London Cancer

came more often.

Peter Morris: It's a very light energy, a very gentle energy.

Clinic now have quite a few
healers working there, and they
found that there was something
like 62 percent of terminal can-
cer patients recovering. We're
not saying that we’re better or
different than the medics, it’s
just that the medics rely so much
material and physical ways of
healing.

“When you see the healing
taking place in a clairvoyant way

—— and you don’t have to -be

clairvoyant to be a healer be-
cause we're all healers — if it’s
an abscess or tumour you can
actually see the healing going in-
to the tumour; it appears to ex-
plode and disappears without a
trace. There is no trace of the
disease throughout the bodily
fluids. With leukemia it’s like a

kid’s sparkler all around the

body and the entire blood sys-
tem.,’’ :
Morris, who says he’s had on-
ly two colds in the last seven
years, and those only because he
wanted a break from work, adds

that documented evidence shows.

that people who tend to view life
with a positive attitude rarely
become ill, When he does occa-

sionally feel something like a

cold coming on, he sits down

and meditates, visualizing those.

bugs being destroyed, and it
always seems to work.

When asked why there is such
an increased interest in self-
healing and psychic phenome-
non in general, Morris replied,
‘7 think because of the state of
the world and the planet earth,
with the amount of wars and
destruction that keeps happen-
ing, there is alot of focus on try-
ing to heal the planet itself.

‘*1 think there are 173 wars g0-
ing on as we speak. We're on a
tiny little planet and we can’t
even exist peacefully together.
So people are looking for
another way to exist peacefully
on this planet. It’s also quite in-
teresting to see how many
groups are trying to fight this
movement, They don’t want
only the peace and quiet, they

‘want fire and brimstone and all

that kind of thing.””

As for the mystique surround-
ing anything related to the spirit
realm, Morris remarks, ‘‘It’s a
fact they used to burn witches,
whether you were a witch or you
weren’t, they used to burn them
alive; it was the only way to cure
the devil that they saw in them.

It’s a rare case where an entity
can enter into someone’s

‘ awareness, They might be able
to intrude, but not in a negative.
way, like in ‘these exorcism —

movies.

“This fiery furnace is just an —

inheritance from those days of
ignorance. If there’s a hell, here
it is; look at the problems we can
create right here on this earth.
Take Iraq, was that not a little
piece of hell? Isn’t it a piece of
hell when we start destroying
ourselves and our friends with
negative thoughts and
energies?”’ ,
Another subject Morris
touches on is past ‘life ex-
periences, or reincarnation. We
are always moving forward, he
says, experiencing and learning
as we slowly progress toward
whatever our ultimate goal is,
and toward the God energy, but
sometimes experiences from past

lives can affect this one. The:

most dramatic experience he had
with this was with-the wife of an
Air Canada pilot who was
physically and emotionally ter-
rified of flying.

While exploring a past life
with her, Morris discovered that
in 1916 the woman, who was a
man in that previous life, had
been involved in a plane crash in
which she (he) had been thrown
clear, but was forced to watch

another person in the plane

literally burn alive. Three weeks
later she phoned Morris from
Sydney, Australia, explaining
that she had flown there with her
husband, that her fear of flying
had disappeared. Morris calls
this a past life hangover.
Guides often choose a male
personna, but they contain both
the male and female gender.
‘’The interesting thing when you
talk about the upsurge of energy

_is that it’s predominantly female

energy, which is the prime
energy of the earth. This female
energy is predominant in most
males: the gentleness comes
through clearly.”

And as for skeptics, Morris
remarks, ‘*People sometimes tell
me that I’m strange. And my
answer to that is that we're all
stuck on the outside of a piece of
mud flying through space; now
that’s really strange! Science is
stranger than fiction. As the
man said, there’s more in heaven
and earth than meets the eye.’’
