Are Elves Healthier Than Other People?

"Health is certainly a concern, but there are other spiritual issues involving
our individual and collective destiny that affect the bodies and
thus the genetic lineage we choose for a particular lifetime."
 

     There are some elves who think that we have more white blood cells than other people, and that we have to their minds a greater ability to heal. However, as is so often the case they have presented no conclusive scientific evidence that this is so. (We are not disputing that it is possible for some elves or some people in general.)

    At the same time, it should be noted that the vast majority of elves have a great interest in being fit and healthy and thus pursue those diets and lifestyles that tend to foster a healthier life. Do we always choose genetically superior bodies in which to incarnate. Perhaps not. Health is certainly a concern, but there are other spiritual issues involving our individual and collective destiny that affect the bodies and thus the genetic lineage we choose for a particular lifetime.

     There are some elves who choose the path of the healing shaman or of the sorcerer who learns to navigate the inner interior of the soul, and for these individual elves it is often the overcoming of their own health issues that leads them to the wisdom to heal others. Silver Flame was very frail as a child and had bulbar polio at six years old. And now, reflecting back, she feels that it was simply part of her life path as a healer, an elven sorcerer, to overcome this personal affliction and the fear of death at such an early age. It was from the early experience as a crippled child that she learned the importance of compassion and looking deep within the person for the light that is within us all rather than the exterior characteristics and physical being, an understanding on her part that guided her path as a healer in both the psychological realms and spiritual realms. Elves come to this physical world to bring the light of elfin and also to learn their own lessons of the soul. Like all other beings, we are evolving!
     So we say, the effort to lead a healthy life tends to get the best out of whatever body one may inhabit no matter what its genetic weakness and strengths may be. Just as one may inherit a very superior genetic makeup yet abuse it to the point of ill health and death, so may one do one’s best with what one has and this, more than anything, defines the elves.

Through The Mists of Faerie:
A Magical Guide to the Wisdom Teachings of the Ancient Elven

Click on the link above to find out more about this book and to read excerpts.

The following is an example of writing from THROUGH THE MISTS OF FAERIE, page 62-65, from Part One:  Pure Awareness

"What most people call consciousness is an awareness of their thoughts, beliefs and ideas. In the animal kingdom, consciousness is an instinctual awareness and lacks, for the most part, the beliefs, ideas and self-concepts found among humans. In the human being, the idea driven consciousness comes to fore but, as we’ve pointed out already, this is primarily directed and motivated by ideas ruled by our passions and emotionally connected ideas. We think ours’elves to be free but really our lives are controlled by these passions and beliefs.

When we are born into a particular life we come bearing the imprint on our souls of our previous experiences. Obviously, when we are reborn we don’t have the same body. So our bodies, as they currently exist, clearly are not a part of our immortal s’elf, although they are composed of the energy that is, in its’elf, immortal. We are mostly formed from Star-stuff or Stardust, and elves are particularly aware of this fact. So when we come into a new life, our soul/spirit gathers around it the available stardust/energy to form a new body.

Since this stardust also bears the imprint of its past, in the form of a DNA coding directive, we also come into each life with a racial consciousness, formed in what is often called the Collective Unconscious. We also have a human consciousness, and bear the imprint of our evolution through various forms from all our previous incarnations. To become truly immortal beings, that is to say, immortal in the way that vampires are seen as being immortal, having a permanent immortal physical body, we need to integrate our consciousness with and merge with the consciousness of the energy that temporarily composes us. Of course, elves are often also seen as being Immortal, particularly in our more ephemeral forms, or our ethereal or etheric bodies combined with our astral bodies.

In time our bodies will become more resilient, less physical, and more like light, thus more ephemeral. The dimensions we will reside within, the dimension of Elfin/Faerie will be similar to living in a dream. We will have greater powers, such as the power to fly, and the ability to do things that we can now only dream of doing. And yet it will be every bit as real as a dream seems when we are in it, or every bit as real as this illusionary world that we currently abide within.

Also, just as clearly when we pass from one body to another, we don’t carry our thoughts, feelings and beliefs with us, or our memories, unless indeed we have obtained continuity of consciousness and have born our mind through the death process, which, honestly, these particular elves are nowhere near to achieving. Are you? If you are, you will be able to tell because you will be able to remain aware throughout the night as your body sleeps without losing consciousness. Sleep, as we said, is the little death. It is the reflection in microcosm, As Above/So Below, As Within/So Without, of the life death cycle.

For most individuals, the death experience and the assumption of a new stardust body is like suffering from total amnesia. You don’t remember anything. You don’t even know what you know. For instance, in amnesia, you may know how to type or play a piano, but don’t you know that you know how to do it until you sit down at a typewriter, or computer, or piano and suddenly find that typing or playing piano comes automatically to you. So, too, in moving from one life to another, we carry certain abilities with us. We don’t necessarily know that we know, rather we feel we were born with certain talents and abilities, and indeed we were. Usually, we find we learn these things very quickly and easily. These skills seem to come naturally to us.

Our feelings, not so much our emotions, but mostly our feelings, because they are by their nature essentially unconscious, come easily through the transitional state of death. We may not remember whom we loved or liked or disliked, but if we encounter them again or someone like them we immediately sense our attraction, or our repulsion. There are certain individuals that we know immediately even though it seems we have never met them previously. So until we are able to carry our memories from life to life consciously, they are still born in our soul, particularly those things that are most important to us, which is love and relationship, as well as having an instinctual recognition of and attraction to those with whom we have a karmic connection either positive or negative.

We can see this fact reflected in our current life in our conscious and unconscious. The basic consciousness is everything of which we are currently aware. But we also have an unconscious which composes everything of which we are not aware, which for most of us is far vaster than our conscious awareness. Consider all the things we don’t know, and add to it all the things, events, facts, people, experiences we have forgotten, which are stored in our brains but which, for most of them, are lost to us except at certain times. So, too, are our experiences stored in our soul, but only accessible under certain profound circumstances, although occasionally brought to mind by our encounters in the world, just as memories may be brought back into consciousness by a particular, song, smell, or experience. Our soul stores all our experiences and in that way is linked to the Akashic record, which records all experiences of all beings. The Akashic record is the library of the Soul of the Universe."
