All avenues of questioning lead to the same ultimate answer. The discovery that nothing is hidden and Truth stands everywhere revealed is the key to enlightenment about the simplest practical affairs and the destiny of mankind. In the process of examining our everyday lives, we can find that all our fears have been based on falsehood. The displacement of the false by the true is the essence of the healing of all things visible and invisible. And always, a final question will eventually arise for every questioner – the biggest question of all: “Who am I?”

An explanation from David Haig of one of the miracles of Jesus in the Bible.
ST. Mark 5:39-42
St. Mark 5:39: And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
St. Mark 5:41: And he took the damsel by the hand, and said uno her, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
St. Mark 5:42: And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years.
Jesus is teaching the distinction between being in imagination (of the world) and of being awake (Higher Self).
The statement: “the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth” means that the higher self has fallen prey to imagination, causing something great (Higher Self) to be hidden behind something small (Imagination).
The statement: “Damsel, I say unto thee, arise”: calls the Higher Self to action to re-establish presence.
The statement: “And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years” :
The damsel arose (established presence), and walked (prolonged presence). It is interesting that after she establishes presence and prolongs presence it is mentioned she was of the age of 12. Esoterically, 12 represents wholeness or completeness. in this case representing her oneness with the Higher Self.
We see the number 12 again in the bible when Jesus states: “When I was 12 I was about my Fathers business”
Walk, when used after establishing presence, often means prolonging the state of presence.
