Healing and Transformation
by Sir Martin Brofman, Ph.D.
When I had terminal cancer twelve years ago, I had been told that I
had one or two months to live, and that the end might come very
suddenly, any moment, if I coughed or sneezed. I was faced with a
reality in which each day was possibly my last day, each hour my last
hour, and I recognized that for whatever limited time I had remaining,
I wanted to be happy.
Living a compromise made no sense to me. Since each meal was possibly
the last one I would ever have, I wanted to eat whatever I had an
appetite for, whatever my body was asking for. It didn't make sense to
me to eat food I didn't enjoy just because someone else thought it
would be healthy for me. Their loving intentions were recognized, but
I knew it was not my way. My path to health had to include a sense of
enjoyment in all that I did, and I had to be true to myself, to be
real. I had to believe in the recovery process.
Then, it was suggested to me that the cancer was the result of a
process that had been going on in my consciousness, and that I could
use my consciousness to get rid of it. My consciousness had been the
effect of programming, as the results that a computer produces are the
effects of the way it had been programed. I could reprogram my
consciousness.
I was presented with the idea that our perceptions create our reality,
and I realized that I had to reprogram my consciousness to create the
perception that I was well. I was not prepared for such an abrupt
shift from the perception of being terminally ill, but I realized that
I could much more easily create the perception that I was getting
better and better, until I was indeed well.
I had had the perception that I was in a state of deterioration,
getting closer and closer to dying, and I knew that if I were to have
as the end result the perception that I was well, I would have to
change from getting worse and worse to getting better and better. I
also knew that the turn-around could happen in any moment. It was a
matter of turning a switch in my mind, and insisting on knowing that
it had been turned. I decided that if the moment of change could be
any moment, then let it be now.
I felt a shift in my consciousness, and I knew then that I was in a
state of improvement. I also knew the importance of maintaining the
integrity of that decision, and that moment. I knew that all of my
perceptions had to reinforce the idea that I was now getting better
and better. I could remind myself as I ate whatever food I wanted,
that it was exactly what my body needed to accelerate the healing
process. Physical sensations that felt like electric shocks in my
body, which before had reinforced the idea that the tumor was growing,
now had to be perceived as evidence that the tumor was shrinking.
My mind looked for more and more ways of knowing that the improvement
was happening. I knew I had to stay away from those people who
insisted on seeing me as still terminal, not from any lack of love,
but just to maintain my own positive attitude toward my healing
process. I had to be with people who were willing to encourage me on
this seemingly impossible task I had set for myself. When I was asked
how I was doing, I insisted on answering, "Better and better," and
seeing how that was, in fact, true.
I knew that it was vital to maintain the positive programming, and
that putting myself in a relaxed state of mind and talking positively
to myself for fifteen minutes, three times each day, was a part of the
programming process I should in no way interfere with. There were
temptations to not do the relaxations, and then I would remind myself
that my life was at stake. Any temptation, then, was something that
stood between me and my life, and had to be removed, so that I could
live.
At first, it was very difficult. I found that the integrity of the
moment of change was easily compromised, by my thoughts or words
acknowledging anything other than the idea that I was improving, and I
had to be honest with myself, and see that, and then know that I had
"blown it." Then, I could tell myself that what had happened was just
a practice run, and that the real moment of change was now.
It got easier and easier. I was able to maintain integrity for just
hours at first, then a day, then two days, and then I was solid. I
knew the program was working.
I was able to recognize the doubting voice inside, and know that it
did not represent truth. I was able to identify with the encouraging
voice. It became my guide, leading me back to stable health. I was
more and more able to maintain the single-pointedness of knowing that
positive changes were happening. When I was not feeling a symptom, I
told myself that perhaps now I would never feel that symptom again. If
I experienced the symptom after that, I told myself that the process
was just not yet complete, and that indeed I was feeling the symptom
less than I had before.
I had to know that positive changes were happening now, possibly just
at the threshold of notice-ability, so I could eagerly anticipate
evidence to justify my perceptions. Naturally, I was always able to
find something, and so assure myself that it was not something I was
just imagining, but real, and more strength was added to the process.
During my relaxation periods, I imagined seeing the tumor which had
been located in my spinal cord in the neck, and imagined that I was
watching one layer of cancer cells dying, and being released, to be
discarded by my body's natural elimination system. I knew that the
change, perhaps not yet noticeable, was still definite. I knew that
each time I released waste products from my body, the dead cancer
cells were being eliminated, and I reminded myself of that each time.
I insisted on knowing that it was true.
I knew that cancer represented something held in and not expressed,
and since the tumor was located by my throat chakra (energy center), I
had been holding back the expression of my Being. Since I wasn't quite
sure what that meant, though, I decided that it was imperative that I
express everything. Every thought, every feeling, whatever was in my
consciousness that wanted to come out, I expressed, knowing that it
was vital for my health. Before, I had had the perception that
expressing led to discord, but now I saw that what I was expressing
was appreciated by those around me, that expressing and communicating
led to harmony.
Before, I had had the belief that if I expressed what I really wanted
to, something bad would happen. I had to reprogram that to the belief
that if I expressed what I really wanted to, something wonderful would
happen. I made that decision, and it was so.
I found myself having less and less in common with my old friends. It
was as though we had shared a common vibrational frequency before, say
547 cycles, whatever that means, and suddenly I found myself at 872
cycles, having few things to communicate with the 547-cycle people. I
had to find new friends who were also at 872, to have someone to talk
with.
I found myself attracted to the 872 crowd, and them to me, as though I
had become selectively magnetic, and certain elements of my reality
were being released which were no longer in accord with the new Being
I was becoming. I knew the process was inevitable, and should not be
interfered with. I developed a sense of compassion and understanding
at that time. I knew that my life depended on releasing all elements
of my life not in accord with my new vibration. The process was
simple, though not always easy.
I began each day as a process of self-discovery, with no preconceived
notion of who I was, yet with a willingness to discover the emerging
Being, and a sense of delight with each new discovery.
I imagined the scene that would happen in the doctor's office after my
work on myself was done. I could see him examining me, and finding no
tumor, being puzzled. He might say, "Perhaps we made a mistake." I
played the scene in my mind each day, in my relaxation periods.
I had heard that within the technology of mental programming, if I
talked to myself for fifteen minutes three times each day, within 66
days, I could get myself to believe anything, and that whatever I
believed to be true, would be true.
About two months after I started working on myself, I went to be
examined by the doctor who had pronounced me terminally ill. On the
way to the doctor, I knew that I had to maintain the perception that
everything was all right. He examined me, and found nothing. He said,
"Perhaps we made a mistake." I laughed all the way home.
I have transformed my way of Being. My lifestyle has changed
dramatically. It no longer makes any sense to work in any nine-to-five
job, or to call any other Being my "superior," since we are all equal
Beings with infinite potential. The work I do now as a healer and
teacher is meaningful to me, important to others as well, and of
service to humanity, and I feel a "high" when I do it. I have a strong
sense of doing my life's work. I know that I am doing what I came to
this planet to do. I know it's right. It's not a feeling that I had
had before.
The process of transformation is an integral part of the healing
process, whether the Being is healing his/her vision or releasing some
serious illness, and indeed also when the out-of-balance condition has
not reached the physical level, yet still exists on the mental or
emotional level.
It is for those of us who recognize the process to encourage it, and
assist it where we can, so that the planetary transformation now
taking place within the individuals may be hastened, and made as
gentle as possible.
Illness or injury shows on a physical level, metaphorically, what has
been happening in the consciousness of the Being experiencing the
symptoms. It is related to that person's way of Being. Once the
elements of a person's Being that relate to their physical
out-of-balance condition are identified, they can be changed, and
health and balance on all levels can be restored.
When we see the physical body as a map of the consciousness that wears
it, and always balanced to tit, we can also see that a change in one
implies a change in the other. When a healing happens, a change in
personality may be expected to reflect the change in the physical
Being, and vice verse. The "new" individual will have the same Essence
of Being, yet with a different way of interacting with the
environment, without what had been excessive tension for that
individual.
It may seem as though the individual had awakened from a very
real-seeming dream, and things will make sense in a different way. A
perceptual filter will have been removed, a filter through which
values had been determined, and without that filter, truer values will
become evident. The "new" Being may even have different tastes in food
and/or clothing, and different personal habits. It will be a welcome
transformation.
Approaches to healing which consider the aspect of personality change,
transformation, are keyed to the idea of an inner cause to any outer
symptom. Without the inner changes, the symptoms may be relieved in
the physical reality, but not yet the causes in the inner world, and
the symptoms may get re-created again. The Being then considers that
part of their energy system an inherent weakness, to be continually
dealt with, until they can bring about the inner changes, after which
the symptoms no longer manifest. After all, the symptoms were only
necessary to give a message to the "old" Being. The "new" one, not
having the built-in weakness, has no need of the symptom. As a matter
of fact, the formerly weak part may even become the "new" Being's
strongest part. Stories of formerly paralyzed patients who became
Olympic stars are evidence of this.
When transformation is focused on in addition to other parts of the
healing process, another dimension is added, to accelerate the
healing.
In the energy system that we each are, the energy is in a constant
state of flow. This flow of energy is regulated by seven energy
"pumps," called chakras. Each chakra represents specific emotions and
levels of perception, elements of the Being's consciousness, and is
also associated with specific parts of the body, specific functions
within the body, specific endocrine glands, and specific nerve groups.
Responses to a Being's perceived universe are reflected in the chakras
as well.
The chakras have an optimal state of balance and flow. A healing of
the individual balances the chakras. When this happens, in addition to
restoring inner balance and a different state of consciousness, as
well as physical balance, the rebalancing will also define different
responses to the Being's perceived universe.
In other words, with a given state of balance of the chakras, a
certain type of experience will be attracted to the individual, and
certain types of people will be attracted, as well. When the energy
changes in the chakras, as in a healing, the magnetic effect drawing a
particular kind of person or experience is then released, along with
the old way of responding.
For example, one Being, having different interactions with his/her
mother, may respond by blocking the chakra associated with security or
trust. The effect would be insecurity as a perceptual filter. The
individual would then attract precarious situations to justify the
insecurity, as well as females who would remind that Being of his/her
mother. When the chakra is cleared, the type of female formerly
attracted would be attracted instead to other Beings with the same
kind of blocked chakra as that formerly experienced by the Being who
was healed, leaving room for interactions for that Being with females
of a different energy. In addition, interactions with the
mother-archetype will have a different resolution, more satisfying.
Situations presented to the Being will also have more of a sense of
solidity.
We can see, then, that not only do the chakras reflect the outer
environment, but in a way they also create it.
With minor adjustments in a Being's energy system, only slight shifts
in consciousness would be apparent. In the case of catastrophic
illnesses, however, the Being was in desperate need of a major
adjustment in consciousness, and then the aspects of transformation
would be more profound.
While instantaneous change is always possible and available, most
people do not seem to be prepared for so abrupt a shift in their way
of Being. Gradual change seems more comfortable for the Being
involved, as well as for others in the Being's environment.
With instantaneous change, there is the experience of sudden
clarification of what had been obscure, and a sense something like
what might be experienced by a Being suddenly finding itself in a
body, and watching a movie unfolding around itself, a movie that had
just begun. The Being would find itself as one of the characters, with
a sense of seeming to be different than what the others seemed to see
the Being as, and in fact, would be very different. It would then be
important for the Being to maintain his/her new way of Being, the new
sense of clarity or enlightenment (yet possibly combined with the
confusing sense of sudden newness), and establish quickly the way in
which things make sense in the new reality, the new paradigm. The new
Being would have to see its relationship to the old Being's job,
surroundings, home, partner, etc., and evaluate which aspects worked
harmoniously, and which parts would have to change in some way. In the
case of a Being who had had a serious illness, and who recognized the
relationship between lifestyle and the physical symptoms, there would
have to be a willingness to change all aspects of the lifestyle that
did not result in happiness, because it would be clear that it was
those aspects which were directly related to the illness, and that to
not bring about the necessary changes would be to recreate the
symptoms of the illness. When it becomes a matter of life and death,
the choice becomes a clear one, and simple, although not always easy.
To those people close to the Being, it could be a very confusing time,
as well. It could seem as though the person they had known the Being
to be, had suddenly changed in a way, gone crazy. Habitual patterns of
behavior and responding would suddenly no longer be there, and it
could be very confusing. For the Being's health and well-being,
however, they would have to be totally supportive of the new Being,
since attempts to re-create the old Being would be perceived by the
Being involved (correctly) as a threat to its health. There must be a
willingness to adapt to the Being's new way of Being.
Gradual change is easier for most people, but it must be emphasized
that the magnitude of the gradual change is no less than that of
immediate change. It is just spread out over a longer period of time.
The same issues must be examined. The same changes must be made. In
addition, the Being must maintain a single-mindedness of purpose, and
stay on purpose, with a total willingness to release all aspects of
their life which are stress-related, and all patterns of interacting
which are not success-oriented, until life is again harmonious, and
the body's state of health and wellbeing indicate that the Being has
returned to balance, and may now identify with the way they are. The
transformation and healing will then be complete.
When an individual who has been out of balance has made the decision
to return to balance, they must make it a high priority project.
Nothing else must be more important. Particularly in the case of a
catastrophic illness, the return to health necessarily becomes more
important than family, friends, or job. When there has been a
recognition of a path to health, nothing must interfere with that
path. The development and maintenance of a positive mental attitude is
imperative.
Each of us is a self-organizing autonomous system of consciousness.
Each of us is an energy system. Energy flows through our Being, and is
directed by our consciousness. This energy is in a state of movement,
flow, and in a healthy organism the energy is harmonious, and flows
smoothly. When the flow of this energy is blocked or interrupted, it
is experienced by the organism as an imbalance, and the organism's
tendency is to return to balance and harmony, to return to health.
This tendency toward harmony is an aspect of love.
All illness, all injury, is energy blocked or interrupted, or a call
for love. Each of us, including you, the reader, has the ability to
sense energy, detect it, and direct it. Ultimately, any energy block
can be released by your consciousness. It is not a question of whether
it can be done, but rather how it can be done.
Within your Being, within your consciousness, is the ability to love.
You have a potential for infinite love, whether you choose to
recognize it or not, and in fact, it is the very nature of your Being.
You have the ability to love where there was a perception of a lack of
love, or a call for love.
You have in your consciousness the potential and ability to heal
anything, on any level, in yourself as well as in any other Being,
since it's all just energy. What remains is for you to realize fully
and actualize that potential. Anything can be healed.
You can heal anything.
