The morning session at Casa Dom Inacio with John of God began with a wedding and a baptism — really, one never knows what might happen in The Casa. It was a shared a moment of joy, and such a gift to be able to participate in it.
Then Alan went in for his spiritual surgery. I asked him later to report, and his comment: “It was like a gentle meditation, and then I had the best rest I’ve gotten in the past several months.” Sweet. He probably had a spontaneous healing, too ; >)
I went through the second time line with my requests:
- Please help me calibrate my personality to blend with my Soul.
- Please help me heal spinal injuries and injuries to ribcage from the horse riding accident.
- Please help me heal type 1 diabetes.
And — I guess it’s no surprise — I was scheduled for the afternoon session spiritual surgery. This was my ninth spiritual surgery, and it was VERY different than what I experienced previously. It was intensely physical, and by that I mean it hurt. A lot. There’s no glossing over it. First, at the site of the shattered vertebra (T-12) and then spreading to include right kidney and liver… until the entire area from spine to right side where ribs end was a burning, shearing pain.
I thought about jumping up and running out of the room. I thought about leaping out of my skin 😛 I thought about doing just about anything that might stop the pain… but, ultimately, I remembered that I expressed my willingness and welcomed healing through this process — however it happened. So, I breathed and let my spine softly move in small increments as it seemed to do on its own. Periodically, I thought, Ow, ow, ow!” and then went back to breathing. The pain ceased seconds before the Casa volunteer told us the surgery was complete and to open our eyes.
Then I went back to the room — where Alan was getting the best rest in months — expecting the trance-like experience with vivid dreams and insights of previous post surgeries, but that didn’t happen either. Indeed, I didn’t even fall asleep. I laid in the bed with my eyes closed for hours – wide awake. I did eventually go to sleep — I was in bed for twenty four hours, after all. And the dreams were rich, if not compelling.
So, what happened? And what’s happening? It’s a mystery, unfolding before us, I guess. With a spiritual surgery, the surgery is performed upon the energy body rather than the physical body. I surmise it was so deep into that subtle realm that the trickle down time for insights and connections will come through the post spiritual surgery week.
I would like to make note here though of one fun fact I realized while lying there with my eyes closed: When I first came to Abadiania to visit John of God, I injected an average of 50 units of insulin daily. Over the two years, that amount decreased to 33 units — the amount I’ve been taking for the past six months since the last trip. As soon as we arrived in Abadiania, I started have low blood sugar episodes and began reducing insulin amounts. As of today (three days into this adventure), I am injecting 24 units of insulin daily and maintaining a blood sugar in “normal” ranges.
On another note, there is no credit card capability in the entire town right now. Apparently, a couple of week’s ago the banks intended to switch all of the card machines to wireless, and there was a bug in the system that is still being fixed. It’s created an interesting dynamic for all of us folks who come from credit card dominated cultures 😛 …lots of people scurrying by taxi to neighboring towns to get cash. Fortunately, for us — after a momentary disorientation — we just figured out how to budget our cash and relaxed into it. Just another silver lining from the past few months of riding the currents of change, n’est-ce pas?
We’re heading into the weekend now. Updates on the exciting — and slow — world of Abadiania
The reduction in your insulin usage is pretty amazing – a good indication of the healing taking place with the diabetes. And WHAT an experience for the spiritual surgery! It will be fascinating to see the results trickle down, as you say – maybe even over the next 3 months…
Love this: “Please help me calibrate my personality to blend with my Soul” – it is my forever wish as well 🙂
And sending wishes for continued drops in insulin required!

It is a fascinating dance, n’est-ce pas?
Thank you for your well wishes 😀
