It Can Be Another Way....

Before  I  became  a  marketing  specialist  and  author,  I was an inner world journalist for over ten years, writing for several  leading  edge  magazines.  As  a  result,  I’ve  seen miracles with my own eyes. For example:

* I interviewed   Meir   Schneider,   a   man   who   was diagnosed  as  blind.  He  was  given  a  certificate  saying  he was  incurably  blind,  and  yet  today  he  sees,  he  reads,  he writes,  he  drives  a  car---and  he  has  helped  hundreds  of people regain their vision, as well.

* I spent  time  with  Barry  and  Suzi  Kaufman  at  their Option Institute and saw and heard of miracles there. Their own child was born autistic. They were told to give up on him.  But  they  didn’t.  They  worked  with  their  son,  loved him,  nurtured him, accepted him---and healed him. Today he lives as an above average, happy, successful adult.

* I’ve sat in dozens of workshops where I saw people heal their relationships with their lovers, their parents, their kids. I’ve interviewed gurus and mentors, talked to people who  have  had  “incurable”  problems  dissolved,  and  I’ve experienced miracles first-hand in my own life. I’ve come to believe that nothing---nothing!---is impossible.

Recently  I’ve  been  working  with  Jonathan  Jacobs,  a man  called  “the  healer’s  healer”  because  his  track  record for  helping  heal  people  is  so  stunning  that  doctors  are referring their own patients to him.  I’ve seen Jonathan take people  with  everything  from  money  problems  to  back injuries  to  cancer,  and  help  heal  them,  often  in  a  single session.

I’ve tasted this myself. For most of my life I struggled with money. When I lived in Dallas some twenty years ago, I was homeless and starving. I shoplifted to eat. And when I  moved  to  Houston,  I found  it  a  frustrating  nightmare  to come up with $200 a month to live in a dump. It was hell. Yet I went through it for nearly fifteen years. YEARS!

Then,   after   doing  a   few  sessions  with  Jonathan,  I somehow  let  go  of  my old  beliefs  about  money,  installed new ones, and now my finances are so amazingly different that I am often in awe that I have so much: new cars, new home,  world  travel,  more  clients  than  I can  handle,  and  a constant  stream  of  cash  that  keeps  me  above  water  at  all times.  I  pay  every  bill  that  arrives,  when  it  arrives,  and  I never experience lack.

What  happened?  How  can  Meir  cure  the  blind?  The Kaufmans heal autism? Jonathan help people with any list of problems? Me have money when for a decade I had next to none?

It  begins  with  knowing  that  “It  can  be  another  way.” That’s  what  I  want  you  to  understand  right  now.  That  no matter what is happening in your life, no matter what you think will happen, it can be another way. The direction you appear  to  be  headed  can  be  altered.  Nothing  is  set  in concrete.

In  fact,  as  you’ll  see,  everything  in  life  seems  to  be plastic. You can mold it to fit what you want and where you want to go. Even right now, as you read these words, you can begin to play with new possibilities: What do you want to be, do,   or   have?   Win   the   lotto?   Why  not?   Increase   your business? Why not? Heal something? Why not?

A  friend  of  mine  asked,  “How  do  you  know  what  is impossible?”

I replied, “How do you know what isn’t?”

I believe our planet is what was described in a Star Trek television  episode  called  “Shore  Leave.”  When  Kirk  and his team land on a planet to check it out before sending the rest  of  the  crew  down  for  some  much  needed  rest  and relaxation,  they  begin  to  experience  odd  events.  McCoy sees a huge white rabbit. Sulu sees an ancient samurai who chases  him.  Kirk  sees  an  old  lover  and  an  old  classmate. After experiencing the joys and sorrows of these events, it finally dawns on the crew (thanks to Spock, of course) that they  are  on  a  planet  that  reads  their  thoughts  and  creates what they think about.

I think Earth is that planet. What you hold in your mind with  energy  and  focus  will  tend  to  be  created  in  your reality. It takes a little longer to experience results because we keep changing our minds. Imagine going to a restaurant and ordering chicken soup. But before it arrives you change your  order  to  won  ton  soup.  And  before  that  arrives  you change  your  order  back  to  chicken  soup.  You’ll  sit  there and complain, saying “I can never get what I want!”, when in reality you are the reason your soup is late!

Most  of  us  do  that  every  day.  Our  indecision  makes manifesting  what  we  want  nearly  impossible.  No  wonder you end up feeling that you can’t get what you want. Yet, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Consider  what  Frances  Larimer  Warner  wrote  in  Our Invisible Supply: Part One, in 1907:

“Spirit  is  substance  which  forms  itself  according  to your  demands,  and  must  have  a  pattern  from  which  to work. A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as  biscuit.  It  makes  as  little  difference  to  Spirit  what  we demand.”

That’s   the   foundation   to   the   five-step   process   I’ll describe in this book: Knowing that life can be different for you, and that life itself will support you in what you want.

Here’s how:

“Try to remember that the picture you think, feel and see is reflected into the Universal Mind, and by the natural law of reciprocal  action  must  return  to  you  in  either  spiritual  or physical form.”

-- Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend, 1921
