My Miracle Healing with John of God
By Janet Samadhi Rose
It
has never been easy for me to write about myself.
However, I have been asked by many of my friends and
acquaintances to share my miracle story of healing.
I am
53-years young, and had been challenged with serious, multiple
health issues most of my life. By the age of 28, I had
already undergone three back surgeries and was using a
wheelchair outside of the home. However, the most severe
illness that challenged me was Systemic Lupus. It began
at the age of 16 and, over more than 30-years, had seriously
damaged my heart, lungs, kidneys and brain. I was often
hospitalized, and was knocking on the gates to Heaven at least
four different times, over the years.
In
1992, the Lupus had gone into my heart and caused my heart to
enlarge to twice its size. I was placed on massive
chemotherapy daily, to reduce the inflammation in my heart
muscle. I lost all of my hair, my blood count dropped to
below 1 and I had an unexplained fever that put me in the
isolation ward of the hospital for two weeks. That was
one of those moments when I almost died.
In
May, 2002, the Lupus attacked my heart muscle, kidneys and
gallbladder. I developed congestive heart failure, and
was hospitalized for four days. My body was beginning to
collapse from the years of disease.
Then, I was granted a miracle.
In
just two days time, four different people came to me and told
me that they were concerned that if I didn’t go to see John of
God in Brazil, that I would physically die. I had never
heard of John and decided to get on the internet to check him
out.
I
knew in my heart that I needed to go. My time on this
planet was coming to an end. Govinda and I contacted
Caterina, a group leader, who could help us make this happen.
Caterina advised me to send a photo to her to bring in front
of John of God, because she was concerned that I was too ill
to travel. I did just that.
Soon
afterwards, I received a phone call from Caterina, telling me
that John of God said NOT to come to Brazil – that I would NOT
survive the flight. I was devastated. To me, that
was validation that my life was ending. I began the
process of telling all of my family and loved ones how much
they meant to me and how much I loved them. In just two
short weeks, the pain that I was having in my right upper back
got much worse. Everyone believed it was kidney pain.
It was not. I had an infected gallbladder that had to be
surgically removed immediately. If I had gotten on the
plane, it would have ruptured during the flight, and I would
have died. That is what Spirit saw.
After my gallbladder was removed, I developed a serious
infection, that was actually more painful and took longer to
recover from, than the surgery itself.
A
month later, without my knowing, Caterina brought my picture
before John of God once again, and asked if I should come to
Brazil for healing. This time, John said that I was to
come in two weeks time. Caterina called us with the
news…we were shocked!
We
were not able to leave in two weeks, because of the amount of
time it took to prepare for the journey. In exactly two
week’s, however, the Lupus progressed into my brain, and I was
diagnosed as having ‘Acute Cerebritus’ (inflammation of
the brain). This caused me to lose control of both of my
legs and arms, and I had to use a wheelchair to get around.
I was unable to focus to read, and my body was failing very
fast.
Still, we continued on our intention to go to Brazil for
healing. My doctors advised me not to travel. They
were concerned that I would die in Brazil. However, I
knew that I would die if I stayed in the States, and that this
was my last hope. So, we kept moving forward with our plans.
As
the day to leave got closer, my body continued to get weaker.
On the Wednesday before our scheduled flight, I called
Caterina in Brazil and asked her to bring my photo before John
of God one more time, to make sure that it was still okay for
me to travel. When my picture was presented to John, he
said, “Tell her to come!” On Friday, I was even weaker
than Wednesday. Again, I asked Caterina to walk my
picture in front of John. On that same day, I shared
what was happening with a good friend in California, Cosme, a
Hawaiian healer, who is very psychic. He told me that I
would have a dream that night and that I would know what to
do. He was right.
That
evening I dreamt that my bedroom was filled with bats flying
all around the ceiling. (I have since come to
learn that bats are symbolic of death and rebirth). At
the foot of my bed was an ancient man dressed in a robe, which
covered his head. He lifted his head and looked directly
into my eyes. No physical words were spoken, but I
heard, “You MUST come to Brazil” over and over. When I
said that I would, he disappeared.
The
next day, Caterina telephoned me to say that this time when
she brought my picture before John, he took it, put a pin in
it, pinned it to the wall and very powerfully said, “TELL HER
TO COME!!” That Sunday we were on a plane to Miami, and
from there to Brazil.
Another miracle happened during this time. There was a medical
doctor, from Tennessee, Dr. Tony, who heard my story and
wanted to go to Brazil to see John of God. He called me
and told me that he would meet us in Miami, and then be my
personal doctor for the remainder of the journey. What a
blessing! Dr. Tony was a huge support and inspiration on
my journey, and actually helped me to keep my body alive.
We
arrived in Brazil on 9/11, exactly one-year to the day of the
towers coming down in New York. It was a very powerful
day for me. We were late getting to John of God’s
spiritual hospital, known as the “Casa de Dom Inacio”, and
missed all of the preliminaries. Caterina placed me on
the stage and took the wheelchair from me, so I couldn’t get
up and leave. Within minutes, John came onto the stage
with four other people who had volunteered to have “visible”
surgery. He began to operate on each of them, and would
look down at me while he was operating on them. When he
was finished, he beckoned me to come up to him on stage.
I was very surprised - after all, I had not even gone before
him yet. [We later found out that this was very
unusual.]
I
stood up and was shaking quite a bit. It wasn’t from
fear; it was from total weakness and a swollen brain. He
placed me in a chair and began to operate on me immediately.
It was a profound and amazing experience. I went into an
altered state, where I was pain free and totally at peace.
Later, that night, in my hotel room, I died and left my body.
I went to visit all of the Masters, that had worked on me that
day, and I told them how good it felt to be out of that body.
I expressed to them that I did not want to go back, but they
told me that I wasn’t complete yet, and put me back in the
body. Govinda told me that I was gone for almost ½ hour.
After that day, I received over 40 surgeries, and had to lie
on the Maca bed (a gurney) in the spiritual hospital surgery
room for 10-weeks. Then, I was physically strong enough to sit
up in a chair during the healing sessions.
We
were told that I had to stay for a very long time in Brazil,
in order to complete my healing. We sold our home, car
and everything we owned in America. We lived in
Abadiania, where I received healing treatments by John of God
for ten months. After one year, I was completely off of all
medications and no longer using a wheelchair. Soon, I was
walking two-miles a day and feeling stronger and more vital
than I had felt in over thirty years.
I
have discovered that healing is a process, much like an onion.
As one layer is peeled away, another is presented for healing.
Today, with the help of Source working through John of God and
my willingness to do my part, my body continues to get
stronger by the day.
I am
very grateful to John of God for dedicating his life to the
service of helping others by allowing the energy of God to
work through him. I am very grateful to all of those who
volunteer their time and energy, with only love as their
motivation, to help all who come to the Casa for healing.
I am very grateful for Govinda and my mother for all of their
love and support. And I am grateful to all of our
friends, neighbors and loved ones who opened their hearts to
us during this time.
Because of this experience, Govinda and I have chosen to bring
people to Brazil for ‘Healing Journeys’ with John of God at
the Casa de Dom Inacio, which we lovingly call “The place of
Hope and Miracles.”
