Q. What is the spiritual attitude toward divorce? If one is divorced, what can be done to reduce the karmic effects?
Hilarion: Divorce is merely the sundering of a relationship. Every relationship is fated to be sundered at some point in time, even if this is by the death of one partner after many happy years. Thus, from a karmic point of view, divorce as a fact is neither good nor bad. What produces karma of a negative kind is a bringing of mental, emotional or physical pain to another being, whether this is done through the process of divorce has little to do with the degree or nature of the karma.
As to the best attitude, it is this: The souls of men were meant in this phase of humanity's development to come together in pairs, male and female, in order to allow each other to grow through interaction with the other. When this growth becomes repressed or halted due to the interaction between the couple, then it may be better, from the point of view of spiritual expansion and learning, to separate the two souls.
On the other hand, the learning might be best accomplished by having both souls stick together despite the problems, so that they may seek a common solution. Normally, the souls decide whether the experience is to be continued or not. For the conscious mind of the person involved, the best approach is to seek always to make the burdens of the other lighter, even in the midst of the pain of separation, for this will ensure that the karmic burden generated by the difficulties is minimized.
But even here, a word of caution is in order, for those who treat others kindly merely for the selfish reason of minimizing their karma are not really learning kindness from the heart. All acts of goodwill should be done for their own sake and never from any personal motive.

Karma of Anorexia
Please comment on anorexia nervosa. Why is it so widespread at the present time and why does it seem to affect mainly young females? (This condition is marked by loss of appetite, serious drop in weight, and often an obsession with exercise).
Hilarion: The condition of Anorexia Nervosa is a direct result of a past life in which food was over-emphasized and illness resulted from over-eating. The previous life of gluttony would usually have caused marked obesity and complications arising from the over-weight would normally have led to death at a relatively young age. Very often a soul learns the most by contemplating the manner and cause of its death in a life just ended, and in the case in question a very clear connection would have been made by the soul between the gluttony and the loss of the physical body through death.
This would have been all the more traumatic in view of the attachment to physical pleasure which the glutton exhibits. Hence, the soul would view over-eating as having a lethal aspect and this concept would have been brought into the present life at the subconscious level.
A triggering experience is required in order to raise the subconscious memory to the conscious level. This comes about typically as a confrontation with someone who is obese and quite ill. The convergence of these two factors (illness and obesity) awakens the slumbering memory of the past gluttonous life and its untimely end, and the individual may react, or rather over-react, by embarking upon a drastic weight-reduction program -even where there is no obesity to begin with-often coupled with an obsession regarding exercise.
The reason why this condition is noted almost exclusively with young females is related to the access which women have to their subconscious memories, and to the emphasis which modern society places on slimness for women, particularly in advertising. It is hardly possibly for a young woman to avoid the idea that a slim figure is a must, and when the triggering confrontation is encountered, the combination is sometimes enough to initiate the obsession in question.

Karma of Asthma
Hilarion: The physical affliction known as asthma is a karmic flow in the aetheric body which from time to time interferes with the physical breathing apparatus. The trigger for the asthma attack can be emotional or it can be due to particles of a certain kind in the air. However, the nature of the triggering influence has little directly to do with what is being learned by the asthmatic through undergoing this condition.
Asthma derives from misuse of energy. There are many souls who have been given access to considerable power and energy in past incarnations, but who have misused it for personal gain, or to bring pain to others. Whenever this occurs, an automatic flaw in the aetheric pattern for the body arises, and this brings the weakness about. Thus, through the operation of this automatic process, the victim of asthma is deprived from time to time of access to air (oxygen) and without this access he is rendered weak and sometimes totally incapacitated. This condition is meant to to remind him, at the level of his higher self, that he yet must work out the problem of the right use of energy. Also, of course, the deprivation of energy is the karmic repayment for having misused energy in the past.

Karma of Human Gene Editing
Q. The International Summit on Human Gene Editing wrapped up this week in Washington with scientists from all over the world debating where to draw the line on human DNA editing, changing our DNA so that we can never get certain diseases like leukemia. Is this discovery like genetically modifying our foods a helpful discovery to human well-being? What is the wisdom of this possible action with the human genome?
Hilarion: Long-term, we see this will eventually lead no matter which decision is made, which direction it goes and so on, in the direction we have just spoken of. Where it overturns this disease hypothesis and eventually a deeper understanding by applying the scientific method to it will show up. In the meantime, there will be much more understanding about this and many areas that don't fit together and can only be explained by a larger hypothesis.
In the short-term as these things are developed it is going to create all kinds of problems. As we have spoken about before, the karma associated with this relates to experiments of similar nature, though done for different reasons. In ancient Atlantis when animals and humans were interbred and various genetic manipulations as a result were those which gave rise to a great deal of suffering, pain and difficulty. Some of the same individuals are involved in this to clear their karma, or understand it in a new way and for this your understanding of this can be helpful. As you send them a sense of forgiveness or love or a way in which they can better understand this for themselves.
But, it is very unlikely given the importance of overturning these aspects of the disease model that guides and helpers or the collective consciousness are going to allow any such scientist to get a new job, to give it up, to go in an entirely different direction. It will be continued looking into this by many. Now, there are obvious problems with this in working out various ways in which genetics has profound effects on plant life and ways in which it has provided profit for those corporations involved in gene manipulation. There will be a continued push in such direction. But, is this a problem of genetic manipulation or of profit? As long as there is the sense of scarcity or those who need power over others then of course further opportunity to exploit even impure science, science with only some successes and not others, as long as it makes money will continue.
So, our judgment on it or yours has little effect on such individuals. But, what does have effect is when you ask the deeper question, when you're willing to ask the right question for yourself. Perhaps this adds an energy, a vibration, so that others ask and here we would call on Dr. Phil to ask the geneticist, “how is it working for you?” Because in this way they recognize that it may perhaps bring profit it may also bring great pain, great struggle, great difficulty and in some cases side effects and unforeseen consequences that bring them back to re-examine the underlying theories of disease themselves.
