You may pray fervently that someone be saved, but if sometimes you receive no answer, it is because it would upset all heaven's plans if your request were granted. Let us suppose that you have a friend who is unwell and you pray that he or she may soon recover. You pray ardently for him or her and your prayer is strong because it is sincere. However, the edict of the beings up above is as follows : ‘We need to create new, different connections in this person to help him understand certain facts which will help him behave more appropriately in the future. To achieve this, we must immobilize him for some time. That is why we have confined him to bed and bound him hand and foot so he cannot move. We therefore refuse to grant this prayer because it asks for him to be released from illness before we have completed our work.' When someone is unwell it is difficult to know whether he or she is suffering from a real illness or whether the invisible world is working to speed up his or her evolution.
