"when he went into the temple of the Lord" - No Desires Needed to Exercise Super-Natural Power

No Desires Needed to Exercise Super-Natural Power

Is is often said that a person who has experienced a near-death event comes to show some super-natural power.

Once decades ago, a Catholic sister who had a near-death-experience stayed in a hotel in Hokkaido, a northern major island in Japan.  She was sitting in front of the lounge, talking with the owner of the hotel.  Then, a middle aged gentleman talked to them, "I was so depressed and came to this hotel to think over what foreign country I should go to run away from my trouble.  I am a president of a well-known middle-sized manufacturer which has been doing well in business, but one day I suddenly realized that this company of mine and my family would go well without me.  I am useless.  So, I have decided to go somewhere and vanish from the world where I have lived.  But executives of my company and my family members would not be able to find why I have vanished, since I myself cannot know why I have to vanish."

The Catholic sister and the hotel owner listened to the gentleman silently who continued that he realized that every worker of the hotel looked so fine and pleasant.  Then, the hotel owner said that he did not hire anybody who especially looked fine and pleasant; but the nature around the hotel had made them look fine and pleasant.  So, the gentleman has responded that he himself came to relax in this environment and now feels that he has risen again, probably due to the woods and the natures around the hotel. 

This hotel is where the late Leonard Bernstein, a notable American musician, once stayed to be refreshed.  The environment around the hotel must be with full of  scenic beauty.  But, the troubled gentleman should be also healed by an aura of the Catholic sister, which had been obtained through her near-death experience. 

Decades prior to the occasion, the Catholic sister fell from stairs in a big house of a religious community she happened to stay in to lose consciousness and was carried to a hospital by ambulance.  Her life was saved, but while she was losing her sense, her soul was lifted up to the spirit world where she met, as she believed, Christ Jesus who said to her: "Return to the world to live, but remember what is important in life is learning and loving."   

After the incident, she acquired power of healing as she healed the troubled president of a company in the hotel in Hokkaido.  She could heal not only a disease of the mind but also physical diseases.  She could even see when good luck falls on a person.  So, many employees of securities companies came to see her to be informed of when they should sell or buy equities.  But, as she came to feel something wrong, she stopped her free interviews with such guests based on her goodwill.

For example, Uri Geller once earned much money in a casino.  But afterwards, as he strongly felt so discomfort, he threw away the money.  Since then, he tried to earn money through his business as an entertainer or a consultant to businesses.                
Super-natural power given by Christ Jesus or spiritual entities should not be used for individual profits.  But, still it is mysterious that some people who have had near-death experiences come to have super-natural power such as healing or predicting.  

A soul that has entered the spirit world and encountered with great spiritual entities such as Christ Jesus must be given special power, and when the soul has returned to its human body, the power should be with the man or the woman so that he or she could perform miracles by his supernatural power as Christ Jesus did.

In this context, we should believe that from the beginning this physical world was made with spiritual power of the God.  Therefore, a man's soul with spiritual power could influence physical matters.  But, it seems still true that there are  some people, like Uri Geller, who have been given this spiritual power by chance or for unknown reasons without having near-death experiences.

Indeed, some Japanese Buddist monks or shintoism disciplinants are said to acquire this kind of supernatural power through their own hard ascetic training.  Yet, most of them have lived humble lives.  Having no desires must be essential conditions for acquiring super-natural power.

Luke 1, King James Version
9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
