ANYONE CAN PERFORM MIRACLES
(Shachar Ben-Porat)
By James Robinson (c) 2007
This is a translation of an article that was published in an Israeli magazine
One day James Robinson, American attorney, felt that he couldn’t go on the way he lived one more day. He left everything and became a healer and a shaman who travels all around the world and works in order to heal our mournful planet. The message is simple: You can do whatever you think you can.
The invitation was tempting. “James Robinson, Master, Healer and Mystic from the Mexican shaman lineage of “curanderos” on his first and exciting visit in Israel.” And in Israel as well as information about the possibility of private sessions. As a person who has always been curious about cultures of the world, I couldn’t have given up the opportunity of meeting a magician from the ancient lineage. Thus, one morning, I found myself traveling to Jerusalem to undergo the “Elohim Initiation” workshop somewhere in Ramat-Rachel Hotel. Along with 25 more people, I underwent a series of seven initiations whose goals were to connect us to healing powers. And as written in the invitation:” The divine initiations are even more ancient than the human memory, and many of the initiated report about deep changes of conception concerning their lives and about a widening of awareness.”
A bit surprisingly, James Robinson looked like any American man. In the interview that we had a few days afterwards in Tel-Aviv, he told me a bit about himself. “I’m an American citizen, and most of my life, I’ve lived in North Carolina. I’ve been an attorney for almost thirty years until I began feeling very deeply that I had to do something else. I resigned and began studying how to become a healer.”
Did you have any background for such a feeling?
I always had psychic abilities. Even as an attorney I explained to people what was happening to them and I taught them how they could improve their lives. Anyway, to be an attorney is a work of continuous stress, conflicts and competition. All the time we are in a state of war. I had the feeling that I ought to help people otherwise. It came to a point when I couldn’t go to work anymore. I had two options: to make myself go to work and in the same time see a psychiatrist and swallow pills in order to go on working – or quit.” Robinson began studying with various spiritual teachers until he met Starr Fuentes, an American spiritual teacher of Mexican-Polish descent. Fuentes had a specially hard life that included childhood with alcoholic parents, a sister who committed suicide at young age and sexual violence. At a specific point of her life, she discovered the psychic abilities she possessed as well as her family’s , and she became a healer.
In Texas, I studied with Starr a new healing technique called Divine Intervention, coming from the Maya Mexican descent. She was the first to teach this method in the United States.”, says Robinson. “She’s one of the most intelligent persons I met. She has incredible imagination and healing abilities. And since she’s connected to the consciousness of the universe, she knows the history of people. She taught me how to exteriorize my ability and how to deal with feelings, which is the most difficult thing for most of the people to do.” Robinson admits that he wasn’t an easy apprentice. “The most powerful teachers attract very stubborn apprentices and I was very stubborn. “I know what I know and you can’t tell me otherwise.” As an attorney I had been taught to think logically: If you do not prove something- it does not exist. After Starr “took an axe, cut my head and eradicated my stupid conception from my body, she managed to open my mind and heart so that I could see who I really was, what were the existing possibilities, and I could begin to perform miracles.”.
Robinson says he’s able to heal broken bones, cuts and deep injuries, skin problems, digestion problems, strokes and more. His Israeli apprentices who have actually seen him perform miracles with their own eyes, confirm this.
How does it happen?
“We have to give up systems of previous beliefs, be able to break away from what we think in the mind, break away from the world as we think it is and be able to look at the larger picture. You’ve got to let yourself believe that an idea, as improbable as it could seem, is liable to happen. You just have to open your mind enough. You don’t have to know every detail about the process. All you need is believe in the possibility.
“What Starr did is open my heart so that I gave up my defenses and began to doubt about what I thought was reality. I saw the miracles she performed everyday and I began to believe that maybe I could also do so. Most of us come into this world with the belief we can do nothing. I show people that they can. You can do whatever you think you can do, and I’m an attorney, damn it. Attorneys aren’t meant to be able to put their hands on people and heal cancer.”
Is there any reason to this mission of healing people?
“Yes. People have to open their mind and heart. Not only to heal themselves but also to heal the planet. What happens in the planet is the reflection of what happens inside people’s hearts, and the only way to heal the planet is in healing our hearts. My goal is to heal enough people for the planet to be able to heal itself.
If there are enough conscious people, they will agree to stop killing and they will start loving each other. There will be a change in the awareness, there will be neither wars nor illnesses.
What do people need to heal themselves from?
“There are two problems in the world. First, people don’t believe and don’t want to be responsible for their healing. They prefer to be victims and accuse everyone instead of being responsible and changing their behavior in order to be healthy and happy.
“The second problem is the epidemic of lack of maturity, especially in the United States. People don’t want to grow up, but to continue being kids.
Look at all this money we spend in order to keep being young. I’m 54 and I think I’ve never looked better. But people of my age try to look twenty and they are miserable when they don’t look it. You seldom meet someone who is satisfied with his looks.
“We have to help people understand that they cannot stay kids all their lives. We have to grow up, accept responsibility, stop behaving like teenagers. The leaders of the world also behave likewise. President Bush, for example, didn’t like what was happening in Iraq, so what did he do? He attacked. This is a childish behavior. The United States are one of the worst places on earth to be, because people there think they have to hit someone in order to get what they want. Jews and Moslems have problems with each other, and as long as people believe they can kill each other, we’ll have problems in the world.”
How do you help people to learn to be more responsible?
I change their patterns of energy either by using healing methods or by talking to them. Even when I talk to you, I change your patterns of energy. I work with you on the energetic level to help you write this article in order to make people understand what I’m saying.
“Someone comes to me and complains: “My wife doesn’t love me” or “My kids don’t talk to me” or “I don’t have work”. I help people to understand how powerful they are. I convince them they can make a change. I explain to them that even doing something as simple as smiling can change the world. We all have the powers to change things just by smiling. I tell them to practice the smiling muscles. I’ve been smiling to myself in the mirror for half a year already to teach myself how to smile because as an attorney I didn’t smile much.
“On my way here, I passed near an orthodox Jew and I smiled to him. He was startled. He fixed me and probably thought I was crazy. I could see his reaction in colors, how his energy had changed. Try this, smile to everyone you see in the next two hours, and you’ll see what it does, how you feel.
It is hard for suffering people to smile.
“Most of the people suffer because that’s all they know. They’ve been born in brutal families. What most of the people call education is in fact brutality. They do not strengthen their children, they teach them how not to be. If you tell your child “you’re a bad boy”, how can you expect something good to happen to him?
“In the United States, there is a whole generation of young people who are so angry that they prefer committing suicide or destroying things than be in touch with their grief. I’ve been toiling (working) for years to heal my two boys. So much they identified with the grief of their generation. They wanted me, the father, to fix the world, and it took me years to explain to them that there was nothing to fix. That’s the decision of how to be: either be angry and feel a victim or bear responsibility.
“Anyone can heal grief. I can take the grief from people and put love inside them, and as I’m doing this, I’m healing myself and have more love to give. Most of the people don’t understand that love doesn’t hurt. How many times do you remember your parents telling you “we love you but it’s going to hurt”? I’ve heard that all the time they hit me. I learnt that love was meant to hurt and this was a lesson I had to learn all over again.
“What most of the people look for is a reason to love themselves, because the messages they got told them they weren’t worthy and not loved and that their lives were terrible. I tell people that they are good, that there is not one bad thing in them.
You can either believe that you are full of power and love and create a good life for yourself, or believe your parents who are themselves miserable and live and end up your life like them. If I’ll live the rest of my life teaching people how to smile, I will fulfill my goal in life.”
The United States have a bad influence upon Israel
James Robinson severely criticizes the reality in the United States. I wondered what were his impressions of us, the protégés of the great power. We have influence on you with our materialism, our selfishness and our lack of maturity and that saddens me. However, you belong to an ancient culture and you have roots that we do not possess. You have ancient traditions so that you can balance everything. We, in contrast to you, are trapped and do not know a different manner. In the United States we envy your family structure and the respect you have for each other. The percentage of crime among the Jewish communities in the United States is the lowest.
“In time of war you have accumulated life experience. We don’t know what means war in our backyard, we always go to war in someone else’s backyard. The possibility of staying loyal to your beliefs in such a reality moulds the character and provides the strength that will help you overcome difficulties much faster than us.
“One of the reasons I came here for was because I wanted to experience that energy. All the passion, the energy, the creativity that we feel in Jerusalem turns it into the second Chakra of the world. One way or another, there will always be a conflict here, but I hope that at some point the situation will balance in a way that will make it possible for you and for them to live side by side without blowing each other.
“I think that coming here is a wonderful experience because I feel the ancient energies prevailing here. It’s good for me to experience the way the energy works here in order to bring it back with me to the States and share it all.”
