Was this an important lesson, that praying to see signs of a miracle may, indeed, be met only half way? Is this a common occurrence? Can some people praying for healing be actually healed in order to extend their lifespan, but still left with symptoms that are actually harmless, even if inconvenient, in order to honor inner doubts of theirs or skeptical observers?

Here again, as strange and as unlikely as it would seem, and in channeling this you, yourself, are doubting the information coming forth, you have foreseen what is coming intuitively as a result of your ability to be, in effect, a devil's advocate to get a dispassionate probing that will more likely be accurate and revealing, through avoiding personal bias. What you are describing is actually a routine occurrence, that many, many, prayers are actually answered in ways that provide a benefit, while sometimes not total but meaningful nonetheless, which remain hidden and masked by the continuation of the symptom causing the initial prayer request. So, it is actually the case that many times, an important health issue is mitigated in ways that matter most with respect to continued basic function and especially, longevity of the individual, but still leaving symptoms present that would call into question whether anything useful is been done by the divine at all. So this is a divine workaround to stay within the rules of engagement. It keeps humans on their toes, in a sense, not becoming complacent in knowing they can rely on us. Too great an intervention by us can quickly render people powerless as they give up their own striving, their own trying to solve the dilemma, or to cope with difficulty, assuming God will handle it and all they need to do is wait. That is a major error that hinders human progress. This is why the rules of engagement become quite complex and can be quite limiting. A spoonful of sugar might make the medicine go down, but the result can be an addiction to sugar which is unhealthy. The more we move in swiftly to help, the more this can disempower people to leave things to us when we need them to partner with us in the fullest sense, to do their share, to make an effort as best they can and that means doing all they can think of from a human perspective using human capabilities. As you are seeing now intuitively, as we have this conversation, the persistence of symptoms within cellular memory provides a convenient way for us to carry on our work to give meaningful help while not intruding on the recipient's beliefs, including their belief in illness and doubts they might harbor about getting divine help. This is not to say that whenever cellular memory recreation of symptoms takes place, that it is a deliberate decision of ours to create this object lesson in not taking things for granted. It is built into the system for multiple reasons. So, you will not know in a given instance, the reason that cellular memory is producing a problem despite ongoing healing efforts. It is very important to respect that mechanism, as a source of difficulty still represents a healing need that is genuine and meaningful. Because if left unaddressed, it can worsen things by stirring up too much karmic remembrance and that could lead, eventually, to the re-creation of a full-blown malady even though, otherwise, healing has been achieved and only that remnant needs attention. So in the same way, to have a divine intervention for your mouse problem that leaves behind a remnant of the symptoms, was not an isolated instance to teach you something because you are capable of asking about it in detail. This is something we do commonly, in dealing with humans and their needs in order to keep a low profile to stay within the rules of engagement.
