A simple formula for changing the future
 

A SIMPLE FORMULA FOR CHANGING THE FUTURE

You can choose to accept the future as you now see it. Which renders you blind to what otherwise you could see.

To see what is invisible you must first become unencumbered from the evidence of your senses and what your mind tells you is and will therefore be so, in accordance with reason. To blossom -- you must open...

Sit or lie comfortably without any sounds distracting you. Close your eyes. See an imaginary square before you on your mental screen. In the lower left hand corner of the square, take in a life-affirming breath through your nostrils. Focus only on your breath. Move to the upper left hand corner of the square before you and hold on to the air you have inhaled. Feel your lungs fill and wait, feeling yourself become firmly grounded in the Present moment.

Move to the upper right hand corner of the square before you and slowly blow the air out through your pursed lips. Hear it whoosh as you kiss it , and all that is negative and fixed in your mind, GOODBYE...

As you move to the lower right hand corner of the square, see the air float up and away from you inside a large silver balloon with a curling streaming ribbon holding it tight. See it disappear into the stratosphere. Lift your chin up. And smile from your radiant Spirit which dwells at your very center.

Envision something you desire deeply, such as health and wellness. If that were your reality now, how would you feel? Experience those feelings -- now. Shut out all other sensations. Focus on the state you desire. Concentrate all your attention on the invisible reality you wish to be yours. Facts and irritating statistics are not your story. Choose not to believe in that story. Refuse to believe in the story that seems to be presenting itself to you and scaring you.


As your Soul overpowers your mind, your spiritual outlook will become elevated. You'll begin to see the world through the eyes of your Soul. You will be enabled to penetrate beyond the world of sense and to see the invisible!

You're harnessing the ability to reshape your future in harmony with the thoughts most prevalent in your mind and the sensations that you would experience were your dream to actually become so.

This is in accordance with Universal Law, as yet not codified. And is for the good of All...

Desire is the mainspring of action. You could not move a single finger without desire. Once, after six weeks of being bedridden, recovering from nine months of ravaging chemotherapy, I heard a song on the television, midst my fugue. To my amazement, too weak to speak or move, I saw my pointer finger rise and sway in rhythm to the compelling tune. I smiled, delighted. I had come back to life!

No matter what, we follow the desire which at the moment dominates our minds. The music motivated me to partake in it. Our Spirit speaks to our mind, which in turn provides a dialogue with our body. The key to progress and fulfillment of dreams lies in ready obedience to desire's voice.

Your body's role is to follow your commands. Everything you think, say or whisper is heard by your body, and responded to precisely. It is very literal. It has no sense of humor. This or that is killing me -- are words I have learned to never utter. I'm just afraid that -- is another phrase I have expunged from my mental chatter. Because it means fear has taken hold, whereas love is mightily healing. We do indeed have nothing to fear but fear itself, in times of war and at all times...

You have the power to consciously choose to live AS IF. Live as if your desired dream were so. Live with joy and serenity, Knowing what you have sent out the energy of your thoughts and emotions toward is making its way to you at this very moment.

You have the power to consciously choose to live AS IF. Live as if your desired dream were so. Live with joy and serenity, Knowing the energy of your thoughts and the emotions you feel toward such a reality are making their way to you at this very moment. Thoughts and emotions are made of energy. Energy is transmitted by you, felt by others, responded to by your body, sensed and reflected back to you by the Universe itself.

Once you have assumed the feelings of your wish fulfilled, then you will begin to live it and act with conviction on it, hence unleashing an -- alteration of your future, in harmony with loving Intention and grateful Expectation!



Your four-dimensional Self will find ways for this to occur. The power of the energy of your focused thoughts and passionate emotions will co-create your prophecy, rearrange atoms and find methods of manifesting your dream.

Assumptions awaken what they affirm. As you experience in imagination what you wish to experience in the flesh, you will be calling your desired outcome to you. Your experience of the end result wills the means. The four-dimensional self constructs the means necessary to realize the accepted end.

Self-proclaimed realists find it difficult to assume a state which is denied by the trained mind and the senses. But with imagination (as Einstein often told us) we can call things which are not seen as though they were. All things that exist cannot be seen. And have the force to alter our lives. Imagination is greater than education.

Mystics have proclaimed this over the centuries and throughout the world. Much of what I believe I learned from modern day sages, Ken Wilbur, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and Neville. These words are theirs. And they have become mine. So much so I can no longer seem to differentiate theirs from my own. What I have learned has resonated so profoundly that I found myself remembering what I never knew I knew. These are Knowings I cherish and feel urgently that I must share!

Begin with desire. Define your objective. KNOW definitively what you want and project it. Construct an event which you believe you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire. The event which implies the fulfillment of your desire must be envisioned in vivid detail with you as the central character. See yourself glowing with happiness, surrounded by love, full of gratitude and generosity of Spirit.

What sounds do you hear? What specifically are you doing? What are you observing. Know the moment as if you were truly in it! Feel as you would right this moment. Participate in the imagined actions of the activity. Direct it, choreograph it, produce it. And keep repeating all this daily, monthly, ad infinitum... In meditation. Sitting or laying comfortably. Doing square breathing until you are ready to venture into a dimensionally larger world. Let it play out again and again and again permeating your consciousness and your sub-consciousness. Let it play over and over like a lullaby. Feel the gratitude and ebullient soaring sensations you would experience upon reaching your goal.

The feeling of reality will harden into facts. The constant idea will permeate your beingness, direct your behavior and your words.

The observation of an event before it occurs implies that the event is predetermined in our three-dimensional space. To change the conditions here we must first change them in the four dimensions of space. Time is a fourth way of measuring an object.

Move along Time's length and see the future and alter it! A more fundamental world exists. Let the object of your contemplation become a concrete objective reality. Bring about an externalization of Time. There is the world we know by reason and the world we perceive independently, if we dare to imagine...

Make elsewhere here. The future is now. Inhabit a dimensionally larger world! "Now" in a dimensionally larger world is equivalent to here in the ordinary three dimensional space of everyday life. You are in effect consciously projecting your Spiritual Self.

The action you are actually performing in the fourth-dimensional world will be re-enacted in the future, here in the third-dimensional world. What you do in the Spritual Realm will then occur here on the Physical Plane.

Sports figures, Olympic Medalists and Survivors of horrid realities in effect do just this. Garner YOUR own celebration of Life by envisioning it as I've described.

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Andi,
Very heady stuff! But well written, as usual!

I truly don't live in fear of dying. (Well, about 95% of the time at least.)
But, I think I would like to try projecting myself a little further into the future.
Right now, events that won't happen for more than a year get very little attention from my little brain.

Thanks for caring enough to write this all out!
Sending love... can you feel it?
Denise

Andrea Barnett Budin 09-10-2013 09:14 AM

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Yes, Denise, I feel it.

Dx in '95, first grandchild (Josie) born in '96. My dghtr asked if I would like to be present for the birth! I stood by her side from 10 PM till 6:30 AM and witnessed Josie come into this world! It was awesome on so many levels.

Soon after, I began having this dream. In huge calligraphied lettering I saw JOCELYN TAYLOR in hunter green. I discussed this odd dream w/my dghtr, trying to figure out what it meant. You were dreaming of her Bat Mitzvah invitation! This milestone occurs when a child reaches 13...

So though I had my moments, not planning more than a yr in advance, not buying theater tickets or booking a vacation -- and when buying a pretty frock for my darling granddghtr wanting the 3 mnth size, I once came upon a little dress that the smallest size they had was a size 1 yr. I thought, But will I live to see her in it? AND I QUICKLY PUSHED THAT THOUGHT ASIDE, TRAMPLED ON IT AS I RUSHED TO THE CASH REGISTER WITH CERTAINTY AND BOUGHT IT!!

I digress. Nothing new here. I began envisioning myself far, far into the future. My desired dream was to be present at Josie's Bat Mitzvah. I saw myself aglow, standing, looking fabulous of course, beside my husband in his handsome suit and tie, surrounded by family at a large round table among another dozen round tables.

Music was playing and I was clapping to the music and applauding my 13 year old granddaughter's entrance to the celebration (temple services were over and now it was time to party). YES, THIS IS ALL IN MY IMAGINATION, IN MY MIND'S EYE, ON MY MENTAL SCREEN.

And -- Josie was Bat Mitzvah in January of 2010...! And -- grandchild # 2, Brett, was Bar Mitzvah last fall! So now, I dream of being at the next major special occasion, 9 yr old Asher's Bar Mitzvah!

I RECOMMEND THIS METHOD HIGHLY.

AND I LOVE YOU...

Andi

For those who read this and then re-read it, you will sense that something is a tad different.

I did a bit of editing, for clarification purposes.

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Thank you Andi - when you are in the midst of very frightening symptoms and feel death is if not imminent it is close - it is incredibly hard to project thoughts of living to see my 6year old son's wedding (the image I have always visualised). I will read and re-read above. I am always on the front foot but physical symptoms become very frightening - how did you deal with this?

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Hi Y'all!

In answer to Anda Moo (Mandamoo):

When my 4th stage invasive bc recurred throughout my liver I was surely shaken to the core. I'd been doing everything right, and that was most definitely not supposed to happen! My belief system was shattered. I was deeply depressed and really felt I could die within the year (that was 1998).

We learned I was HER 2 + then, as they didn't check for that ever before. (Herceptin was about to be fast-tracked out of clinical trials as women were being told they had 3 mnths to live and could not gain access to that potentially life-saving drug.)

I discovered the metastasis pretty far into it spreading. Was there a stage 4 1/2? I knew stage 5 was death. And within 2 wks of discovery, reports were already showing even more (obviously rapid) progression! I was terrified.

I was put on Taxotere. 6 wks on and 2 wks off. One mnth in I developed Shingles, while pursuing stem cell transplant specialists, I was seeing my 2nd of 3 and off-handedly showed him this ? bug bite that was really itching! So, I accidentally found it early and began Valtrex immediately. I added some supplements listed in my PRESCRIPTIONS FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING guidebook, to throw at it.

My onc who administered my chemo said I could not get chemo -- until I no longer had Shingles! I was seriously alarmed. If I didn't get chemo -- I was die! And Shingles could last months, even years...

Within 10 days of major physical suffering and pain (which I had mistakenly thought was the result of Taxotere) I returned to my onc. He was amazed that indeed I was cured. And -- I could get my dose of the freight train drug.

All my limbs ached from deep within. I could not find a comfortable place for myself. My soles felt as if I'd been walking on hot coals. My cheeks bleed when I gently washed my face. My nose bleed for a full half hour in the morning (using 1/2 a box of tissues to keep blowing mucous and blood out). I had neuropathy in my hands and along the outside of my right foot. Numbness that somehow hurt. I was violently nauseous at all times. Felt as if I had the worst flu ever, was clammy, sweating, with chills, felt dizzy, off balance, could not walk so I shuffled, holding on to walls. I had never ending bathroom drama and was up to taking 20 Imodium pills a day. I lived in fear of dying and fear of suddenly exploding in public while racing to the nearest bathroom. I knew where the bathroom was wherever I went. It was my first question.

I developed fluid around my lungs and fluid around my heart. I could barely speak. I had zero strength. I felt as if I was dying. I was frightened by it all.

After 3 mnths, I decided that if only 15% survived what I had -- someone had to be in that group. WHO ARE LIFE'S VICTORS?, I asked myself. They are the most determined, stalwart, tenacious ones who commanded their bodies to survive, no matter what.

I reasoned that I WAS IN A PROCESS, being pulled through rough waters by my lifeline (chemotherapy). I made Taxotere my ally. I endured, KNOWING that in the end -- what I wanted -- 12 yrs down the line -- was making it's way to me!

I decided to live as I had before -- with joy and serenity KNOWING and BELIEVING in my dream!

As I spent lo too many hrs on the toilet I read. I read books that taught me the power of my thoughts. They taught me the impact of my thoughts on my body. That we are each given the power to heal. I consciously chose to connect with that power.

I lived with an open and loving heart, a smile on my face, a sense of peace b/c I owned MY DREAM AND HAD FOUND A WAY TO CALL IT TO ME.

I continuously pushed away all thoughts full of negativity. I secome alert to the sneaky WHAT IFs and I'M JUST AFRAID THATs. I stayed tuned into my body and my thoughts, used self talk regularly, meditated daily, hugged more, met with our most special friends only for dinner (so I could get my husband out of the house with me, laughing and sharing beautiful memories). This fed my Soul, and his.

I'd be laying in bed, motionless throughout the day, Paul was so concerned and worried. I kept reassuring him. He would ask, Do you want me to call and cancel tonight? NO! I would get up, shower and get dressed, put on makeup and my wig, some earrings, and go. You can look pretty darn normal with some effort, and I wanted not to stand out or garner sympathy. Instead I got admiration. I was living with a sense of joy and a serenity that came from my fervent BELIEF!

EVERY THOUGHT IS LIKE A PRAYER. EVERY PRAYER IS A POTENTIAL MIRACLE.

Candles were lit in churches for me. Prayers were said in our Synagogue where I'd volunteered for a dozen yrs. Strangers blessed me. Friends who were spiritual envisioned me encircled in a radiant white light. All that positive energy and love going out in my name had to make an impact!

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
I am realizing that part of the process of changing your future involves CHANGING YOUR CONCEPT OF YOURSELF.

For a bit, I saw myself as a cancer patient, a chemo room addict, constant docs and tests confirmed this reality. Rather immobilized by the side effects of chemo, at times I saw myself as a victim caught in a web of pain and angst. I bordered on being an invalid.

To ascertain the manifestation of higher concepts, we have to alter our concept of ourselves.

Your consciousness, your mental chatter and images bring you your reality. Simple, right? Not really. You must bravely and with utter tenacity and determination see and experience your ideal dream outcome. And then you must LIVE it. Now! Pulling it toward.

Present circumstances and conditions must be relatively put aside. The emotional roller coaster of fear, doubt, uncertainty, vulnerability AND THE SENSE OF LACK OF CONTROL must be decidedly curbed IN YOUR OWN BEST INTERESTS. Focus all your intention instead -- on your desired goal.

What you concentrate all your attention on, will come to be or be perpetuated. So what ifs hamper your journey to your fondest dreams. Self-prophesy is real. Your mind and your body respond to what you hold as TRUE and make it so. Life reflects what you believe, as a logical realist, or as a dedicated dreamer!

Your concept of yourself includes what you ACCEPT and CONSENT TO as being true. Are you a frighteningly sick person struggling to hold on -- or are you a SURVIVOR, with a long life in front of you??

Your reactions reveal where you live psychologically! It determines how you live in the outer visible world!

Once you KNOW a thing, you are on the road to it. So, arrange your thinking. I KNEW I would survive the day before my mastectomy in 1995. I owned that belief. I lived with joy and serenity, despite the unwanted reality of surrendering a breast in exchange for my life, despite the chemo's side effects. I often saw people staring at me, studying my face. What am I seeing?, they asked. You look -- joyful -- and serene...! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! So, my darling Sisters, I am telling you how...


With my love,
Andi

Feedback please. Anda Moo? Does any of this help you? Liz??

Andrea Barnett Budin 09-16-2013 10:55 AM

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
The drama of life is all about psychological responses to the conditions, circumstances and events of your life.

You unconsciously form assumptions. You intentionally edify yourself and form more assumptions. YOUR LIFE IS DETERMINED BY YOUR ASSUMPTIONS.

You can either be a slave to your assumptions -- or you can become their MASTER. I have consciously chosen to be the Master of my Fate. The Captain of my Soul.

How do I master my assumptions? I IDENTIFY with the hero in my dream. I am victorious and therefore feel joyful and serene. I live with that identity. I am a Survivor.

I have learned that what you want ALREADY EXISTS. There are possibilities. It is with your power of choice, your birthright in this world, that you can consciously choose your destiny. It is your task to draw your ideal to yourSelf. The dream then becomes overpoweringly real, in time. BELIEVE in that. I do. I dismiss all the fears that arise, all the doubt and uncertainty and supplant them with Belief, Certainty, Stone Determination and the passion those emotions evoke.

By your imagination, through your imagination, that which was a mere mental image is changed into a solid reality.

The Great Secret is a CONTROLLED IMAGINATION and a well-sustained attention to the details of that -- firmly and repeated focused energy (like a laser) on the object to be accomplished -- creates the ideal within your mental sphere.

You assume that you are already that ideal. You IDENTIFY yourSelf with it. You own it. Thereby, you transform yourself into that image in your head.

THINKING "FROM" THE IDEAL INSTEAD OF THINKING "OF" THE IDEAL makes all the difference.

All who do this will be inevitably transformed into the image of that in which you rest (THINKING from the wish fulfilled). LIVING "AS IF"... Grant this boon to yourSelf!

You become according to your resigned will. My resigned will is my concept of mySelf and all that I consent to and accept as true.

How could I not share this??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The book I am currently reading has an author who is saying all this, which I have KNOWN (and struggled to write in the book I am working on). But, I cannot wait any longer to finish the beloved project. I must get that message out there. People need to hear this.

More than wishing you well, I am giving you the recipe for wellness... Don't try. DO. I learned that from a young child who overcame impossible odds years ago. He was a guest on Oprah's daytime show. DON'T TRY -- DO is the message my Granddaughter placed on my cell screen for me. (I may be a technotard, well I clearly am one, but I have my children's children to help me...)

Thank you Andi. I have read many of those books. I have always seen myself as someone with a long life ahead of me and I am definitely a Doer.

I have had a horrible weekend with pain, feeling terribly sick and coughing lots. I feel my reality though is seeing this disease progress despite my efforts and those of my team - I wonder what it is I am doing wrong - why my will to succeed and live is not enough at the moment.
I am determined to live and love and make the most of my life.

Thank you Denise - I very much need prayers.

The neflinavir thing Lani posted is not new - it came out last year. I have not seen any trials or reports when I've searched. My onc says no possible way to access the drug for me 😔.

Hope you are catching the finals action in the AFL. My men are very excited to have their team in the grand final on Saturday.

Hope you are well.

Andrea Barnett Budin 09-23-2013 01:18 PM

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Dear Anda Moo,

I am truly sorry you had a horrible weekend -- pain, feeling terribly sick and lots of coughing. I have known too many days in my life like that.

Still, I did not feel that my "reality...(as) seeing this disease progress despite my efforts and those of my team".

I believe it precisely that thinking that backfires on you, A. DELAY IS NOT DENIAL. You are in a process. As I saw it, the chemotherapy was not a poison I had to take, it was my lifeline, pulling me through rough waters.

I felt, and still feel, my Spirit was and is helping me keep my head above water. I am never alone. My Spirit walks with me. Loves and nurtures me. Guides and protects me. Wants what I want and far more.

I trust my Spirit implicitly, beyond all reason.

Your will to succeed and live is more than enough to get you to your goal. You must BELIEVE in the power of your thoughts. Their energy is sensed and responded to, IN KIND, by the Universe itself.

And, your body hears everything EVERYTHING you think, say or whisper. Your body's job is to carry out your commands. Your commands are EVERYTHING you think, say or whisper.

So as you wonder what it is you are doing wrong, as you doubt and worry that your feelings of ill health and pain are signs that you are losing your battle, your body is giving up it's fight! The pain is NOT a signal that you are failing!!!

The pain and sickness are a part of the process you are going through, as the chemotherapy is killing the cancer... The pain and sickness are a momentary reality you must forge through with strength, courage, determination, certainty, belief, LOVE and faith!

This is how I got through the hard times. At THE hardest time of my life, in Dec of '98 4 mnths beyond my discovery of my recurrence, 3 mnths into Taxotere (the freight train drug) and 1 mnth into Herceptin, after battling Shingles and pushing to get through that horrendous pain b/c they wouldn't give me chemo while I had it (and if I didn't have chemo, I knew I would surely die) -- with fluid around my lungs and fluid around my heart, short of breath, unable to find the energy to speak above a whisper, barely able to put one foot in front of the other and feeling defeated -- I found my Soul. I was reading Iyanla Vanzant's ONE DAY MY SOUL JUST OPENED UP. Each short chapter left several blank pages for the reader to journal.

Midst the many hours I spent with diarrhea, chained to the toilet where I kept books and paper and pen, this is what came from my heart... It is my PRAYER FOR SURVIVAL... I offer it to you, A Moo, praying it will lift you up...

PRAYER FOR SURVIVAL


I AM WOUNDED, BUT I WILL SURVIVE. I AM DEEP IN THE WOODS, BUT I AM NOT LOST. MY BODY ACHES WITH THE DEATH OF MY CANCER CELLS, BUT I AM STRONG, BRAVE AND DETERMINED. THE STORM WILL NOT TOUCH MY CORE. I WILL NOT LET IT! MY ESSENCE IS CALM AND POISED. MY WILL IS GREAT AND SHALL TRIUMPH. I WILL BE STEADFAST. THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

DELAY IS NOT DENIAL. THOUGH MY DESIRED RESULTS ARE NOT NOW AT HAND, THAT DOES NOT MEAN I HAVE FAILED. I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED IN THIS STRUGGLE. THE TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF MY EFFORTS LIES BEFORE ME. MY INNER “KNOWING” TRUSTS THAT THIS IS SO. IT WILL BE. AS I EXPECT THE BEST, SO IT WILL COME. IT IS A UNIVERSAL LAW.

WHEN A GUSTY WIND BLOWS THROUGH MY LIFE, I WILL RETREAT TO MY CORE! I WILL NOT BREAK. MY SPIRIT WILL NOT BE BROKEN. THE CANCER IN MY BODY CANNOT TOUCH MY SOUL! I AM DILIGENTLY STANDING GUARD.

I WILL NOT MISTAKE WHAT I KNOW FOR ALL THERE IS. I AM NOT IN COMPLETE CONTROL, AND THAT IS OKAY. WHAT I CAN CONTROL ARE MY THOUGHTS AND HOW I WILL VIEW AND FACE THIS BITTER LOT. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME DOES “NOT” DEFINE ME. IT IS HOW I RESPOND THAT WILL TELL WHO I TRULY AM. I AM A POSITIVE ENTITY. I WILL NOT ALTER MY BELIEF SYSTEM. I AM STRONG, BRAVE AND DETERMINED. I WILL SHOW OTHERS THE WAY. I WILL TEACH MY CHILDREN TO FACE ALL ADVERSITY WITH GRACE AND COURAGE. I WILL DO IT FOR MYSELF AND FOR THEM. THIS IS A CHOICE I CAN MAKE. THIS IS THE CHOICE I MUST MAKE. I WILL LEAD THE WAY, DIRECT MY STEPS, MY MANNER AND MY LIFE.

WHEN I AM GRIPPED BY THE SORROW OF NOT BEING HERE ON EARTH WITH MY FAMILY, I MUST ERASE THAT NEGATIVITY. WHEN I CAN ONLY THINK HOW SAD IT WILL BE NOT TO BE HERE WITH THOSE I LOVE, I MUST REPLACE THOSE IMAGES WITH JOY-FILLED ONES. I VIVIDLY SEE MYSELF DANCING, SMILING AND LAUGHING JOYOUSLY AT MY TWO YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER’S WEDDING! I WILL TAKE ALL MY DREADFUL THOUGHTS AND FEARS AND TOSS THEM TO THE WINDS.

CANCER IS NOT THE ENEMY. “FEAR” IS MY GREATEST FOE! THE RAVAGING EFFECTS OF CHEMOTHERAPY ARE NOT MY ENEMY. THE CHEMICAL DRUGS ARE MY LIFELINE PULLING ME THROUGH THE ROUGH WATERS. I WILL NOT DROWN. I WILL KEEP MY HEAD HIGH. I WILL KNOW AND ENRICH MY GRANDCHILDREN.

I HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, TO BE GRATEFUL FOR. I AM TRULY BLESSED. I AM SO LUCKY. I CAN WALK AND TALK. I CAN FEED AND BATHE MYSELF. I CAN THINK. THESE SIMPLE GIFTS BRING ENORMOUS QUALITY TO MY LIFE AND JOY TO MY WORLD. I MUST SEE THE SUBLIME IN THE ORDINARY ALL AROUND ME. AS I SEE THE RADIANCE OF LIFE, THE DARKNESS WITHIN DISSOLVES.

WHAT ONE MAN HAS DONE, ANOTHER CAN DO. I CAN DO THIS! IT HAS BEEN DONE BY SOME. IT IS POSSIBLE. I WILL RELAX, BE STILL FROM DEEP WITHIN, THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE BEING. THE QUIET MIND IS OPEN TO WISDOM AND TRUTH. I WILL TAKE A LONG, DEEP BREATH, HOLD IT, AND SLOWLY LET IT GO. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. PEACE WILL OVERCOME ME. I WILL QUIETLY VISUALIZE. THE POTENCY OF MY IMAGERY WILL TURN MY HOPES INTO REALITY. MY THOUGHTS HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE MY DESIRED DESTINY. PERSISTENCE IS MY MANTRA. I WILL SURVIVE. FOCUS. ENDURE!

I AM IN A PROCESS OF SPIRITUAL UNFOLDING. I MUST REMEMBER, WHEN ALL IS CALM, WE STAGNATE. I AM BECOMING MORE THAN I WAS, AND FOR THIS I AM GRATEFUL. THOUGH THIS WINDSTORM IS THE GREATEST CHALLENGE OF MY LIFE, I WILL STARE IT DOWN. I WILL DO MY VERY BEST. I WILL NOT GIVE IN, NEVER GIVE UP. MY HEART “KNOWS” THE TRUTH OF MY FAITH AND IT WILL GUIDE ME THROUGH. I AM NOT BEING TESTED; I AM BEING FORTIFIED. THERE ARE GREAT LESSONS TO BE LEARNED. I MUST NOT LET MY ATTENTION BE DIVERTED.

I MUST BE STRONG FOR THOSE WHO WILL COME AFTER ME AND WITH ME. I WILL MOVE AHEAD WITH MY HEART THOUGH MY HEAD SAYS IT CANNOT BE DONE. I AM HEALING BECAUSE I HAVE CHOSEN TO HEAL. LOVE FILLS MY SOUL. THE MORE I GIVE, THE MORE COMES BACK TO ME. THE POWER TO HEAL LIVES WITHIN ME. I MUST CHOOSE TO TAP INTO IT, NOT TO IGNORE ITS AWESOME FORCE, TO CONTINUALLY CALL UPON IT, TO FIGHT ON, EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY. I MUST REMAIN OPEN TO MIRACLES. THEY ARE THERE FOR THE ASKING!

EVERY THOUGHT IS A PRAYER. EVERY PRAYER IS A POTENTIAL MIRACLE.

I WILL BECOME A MIRACLE …… THIS I KNOW!

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Andi
So many of those words in your prayer have been said by me over the past 2-3 years. I have always known I would get better.
Today the doctors told me there is nothing more that can be done by them apart from making me comfortable. The chemo which I have been determined would work (number9) hasn't helped as the disease has continued to take over my lungs now resulting in quite severe symptoms.
I have not caused this to happen. I have pursued TCM and acupuncture, changed my diet, upped my exercise even to swimming ocean races. I have worked with a spiritual healer and metaphysical counselor, I meditate regularly.. I have lived and loved fully, always believing I would be a miracle survivor.

I do believe thoughts have an impact and I have had a wonderful 41 years but it is not enough. I will not give up my knowing unless I can know no more.

Oh Amanda,
This is not the news I wanted. My heart breaks for you... and for all of us who love you.

To have fought so hard, and to have done all the right things... only to get this disheartening news form your docs... the injustice of the situation is infuriating, maddening... and heartbreaking.

Knowing you, I know you'll do all you can do, and fill your days with love and joy. Words are so inadequate... and I'm so far away... but if you'd like to chat, any time (forget about the time difference) please PM me your number. I'm here for you, my dear friend.

Prayers for you continue... as does the sending of love and hugs.

Amanda,
I don't know what to say - I still believe you will be a miracle survivor - jeez if you can swim ocean races you beat me hands down!
I am sending much love and many unformulated thoughts as words evade me but seriously love is with you from all over the world and North West Australia along with big hugs.

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Dearest Amanda,

I so admire you. You have been doing everything right. You've read books that inspire and elevate you. You are never bitter or angry or unforgiving; in fact you seem full of Love!

That you have always KNOWN you would get better thrills me. As you understand, what we KNOW, comes to be. For good or bad.

You've been determined, strong and brave. You've tried alternative approaches. Spiritual healers and metaphysical counselors have failed. Yet there are still others who might succeed I think. (I do know that Dr. Gaynor, my nutritional oncologist who I like to call my nut onc has taken women who have been given up on by all others, who have said the best place for them is hospice, and he has turned them around. The supplements are magic to me. His recipes are remarkable. I also understand NYC may not be feasible for you, nor the costs involved, though saving your life is a priceless thing, not only for you, but for you loved ones, your darling son...)

YOU'VE SWUM OCEAN RACES?!!!!!!! YOU ARE CLEARLY ONE AMAZING SUPER SPECIAL SUPER MIRACLE IN THE MAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your post's words about what the doctor said covered me in goose bumps. I stroked my arm with my other hand, so deeply touched by such foul utterings. I've heard this before. Not personally, but beloved friends have been told this. One actually said, the doc put his forehead down on his desk as he delivered the news.

I absolutely love that you do believe thoughts have an impact and that you will not give up your KNOWING until your dying breath. I thoroughly concur. I could never let go of my Knowings.

But, I, we all, want more than a wonderful 41 years for you. It is so not enough!

Richard Bloch (of H & R Bloch) had 4th stage lung cancer, many yrs ago, when everyone was dead within 1 yr w/lung ca. His doctors told him to get his affairs in order. There was nothing more they could do for him.

Dick opted out. He simply refused to give up. He sought more docs. He went on yet another chemo regimen. In his words, he used his stubborn tenacity and will to live, along with the love of his wife and for his wife -- to struggle on ANYWAY.
Dick consciously chose to alter his destiny. With LOVE, with a determined mind. I recall reading his words, IF ONE PERSON HAS SURVIVED THE TYPE OF CANCER YOU HAVE -- SO CAN YOU! I held on to that as I fought my battles. His words just resonated with me on the deepest of levels.

His words helped strengthen my resolve remarkably!




Dick lived another 26 years!

He and his wife Annette wrote CANCER...THERE'S HOPE. There is a tollfree # that I called (at someone's suggestion 100 years ago) where I received a copy of this book for free.

I just called that # in your behalf, Amanda, to be certain this was still a possibility. Richard Bloch. I was told that in fact Dick wrote 3 books. They are sending me all 3 today. And if you will email me your address -- I will send them on to you, full of hope and promise, prayers and hugs, and much much love... AndiBB@aol.com

There's a site -- www.blochcancer.org

This is Dick's legacy. Long beyond his passing on to the spiritual realm, he is reaching out to you, and all like you, like him.


I AM NOT GIVING UP ON YOU, AMANDA. I WOULD NEVER. YOU OF ALL PEOPLE, SO FULL OF BELIEF AND LOVE AND RESOLVE AND REASONS TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE ARE THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR TURNING THINGS AROUND, EVEN NOW!

I BELIEVE IN YOU. WITH ALL MY HEART.


Please, please keep us all posted on YOU. We are all holding you up and we won't let go!

LOVE,


Andi

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
I keep reading Neville and his words are mine. Recent medical issues have shaken me, made me feel vulnerable and fragile, shaken and distressed. Neville's words are reminding me of what I knew I knew.

So, I am sharing as this is so fundamentally important to you finding your joy and serenity along with your dreams come true!

I got lost there for a while. I misplaced my concept of myself. We are so much more empowered than we ever dared to dream!

Don't think of your dream. Become your dream. Live as if your dream were already a reality. Despite the pain, the weakness, the difficulty breathing. STOP BELIEVING IN THAT STORY THAT APPEARS TO BE PRESENTING ITSELF! See the Self beyond the self that is diminished. Feel smilingly confident. Transform your consciousness of your Self and you will transform your fate.

Identify with the hero in your dream! THINK FROM THE IDEAL VS. THINKING OF THE IDEAL!

What you want already exists. It is your task to draw it to yourself. Don't be a slave to your common sense assumptions. Master them! With intensity and force of thoughts and images. Be persistent. Throughout the day think and see all the details of your dream, feel how you would feel precisely what you would feel if dream were your reality. Let that marinate!

Live in a sublime Spirit. Hold fast your unwavering assumption of your wish having already been fulfilled. For it is certain, if you do this. Your fixed assumptions are predestined to be fulfilled!

Soon you will completely realize your dream. Be confident. Joyful and serene. Let go of all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of your desire! Refuse to believe in that story! It is your fear, not your wish.

You already are what you want to be. Master your assumptions, master your life. Let the unseen become seen. Notice the power of your assumptions to change circumstances which appear wholly immutable! Determine the nature of the world in which you live by your consciously chosen assumptions and tenacious endeavors to experience them. Assume the wish fulfilled. Claim it.

Every moment you are assuming a feeling. It is unavoidable. All you can do is control the nature of your assumptions. This control is the key you now hold to an ever expanding, happier, more noble life, which you richly deserve.

With Love and Light,

Andi

Andi,

Thank you for sharing the visualization techniques. I know how important it is to stay focused and keep the positive thoughts and affirmations going.

Amanda, my heart goes out to you. I can relate as I've been told by my accupuncturist that the mind creates and can control the cancer. I've been dealing with my diagnosis since 2008 and have been through approx 6 different chemo treatments and I'm torn at times because I feel like I am staying positive and doing what I'm supposed to do and yet this disease keeps hacking away at my body. I wish I had the answers but they elude me too... Your words touched me deeply and I will keep you in my prayers and hope that you can find another option. This disease has taken too many beautiful women from this earth far too soon...
Standing with you in spirit,
Debbie

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Have to share this clarity! 28 year old man not expected to live. Rare heart disease. Disintegration of the organ. Long and costly medical care had been of no avail. Doctors held out no hope for recovery. Confined to his bed, his body had shrunk to almost a skeleton and he could talk and breathe only with great difficulty.

My newfound love/writer/speaker Neville writes THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION TO ANY PROBLEM.

CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.

The Law of Consciousness -- consciousness being the ONLY REALITY -- means the only way to change any condition to to change your state of consciousness concerning the matter.

Assume the feeling of already being well. In IMAGINATION, see the doctor's face expressing incredulous amazement in finding you recovered, contrary to all reason, from the last stages of an incurable disease.

See your doc double checking his examination and hear him saying over and over, IT'S A MIRACLE. IT'S A MIRACLE!

Believe this scene will take place implicitly! Faithfully follow the imaging and actual feelings you will experience when this scenario occurs repeatedly throughout each day.

The 28 yr old man did this and within several mnths had made a miraculous recovery. He was in perfect health, actively engaged in business and thoroughly enjoying the many social activities of his friends and family.

He had absolutely no doubt, upon meeting Neville mnths before, that this process would work! Day after day he lived completely IN the assumption of already being well and strong. He BELIEVED faithfully!

4 yrs later, he remained convinced that his recovery was due to his successful use of the Law of Assumption.

Not working for you??? Though you faithfully apply it in an effort to attain your intense desire??

Neville asks, Do you feel the NATURALNESS of your feeling of already being what you want to be -- of already having what you desire???

If it does not feel NATURAL to you, that could be what is blocking your realization and manifestation of your desires. It is difficult to transcend from your present condition to the state desired. The secret lies in one word -- IMAGINATION.

Assume that you are securely chained to a large heavy iron bench. You could not possibly run, in fact you could not even walk. It would not be NATURAL for you to run. You could not even FEEL that it was NATURAL for you to run.

BUT you could easily IMAGINE yourself running. While your consciousness is filled with your IMAGINED running, you have forgotten that you are BOUND! In IMAGINATION your running was completely NATURAL!

The essential feeling of NATURALNESS can be achieved by persistently filling your consciousness with IMAGINATION -- imagining yourself being what you want to be.

Progress springs from your Imagination, from your desire to TRANSCEND your present circumstances! With your Imagination ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Changes are not caused by caprice, but a CHANGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS (the only true reality)!

Achieve and sustain the particular state of consciousness necessary, KNOW that consciousness is the only reality, and that it is the sole creator of your particular world and have that Truth burnt into your whole being! KNOW that success or failure is holding a disciplined Assumption and persisting in it. KNOWING it will harden into fact.

The certainty of the truth of this Law must remain despite great disappointment and even crises, even when you feel the light of life going out of you!

You must NOT believe that because your assumption failed to materialize, the truth that Assumptions do materialize is not a lie. Even if your Assumptions are not fulfilled. Still, your Assumptions can be attained by feeling that you ALREADY ARE the person you want to be.

The time it takes your Assumption to become reality is PROPORTIONATE TO THE "NATURALNESS" OF BEING IT.

You, and all of us, have this power! Build your dream. 'Conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, and it will unfold its great proportion.' (Emerson)

A MIRACLE IS THE NAME GIVEN, BY THOSE WHO HAVE NO FAITH, TO THE WORKS OF FAITH!

FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.

SO IT IS WRITTEN...

HAVE FAITH. BELIEVE... with all your heart. And with your Imagination...

I was just utterly shocked to learn of Amanda's passing. I posted in the thread about Mandamoo. Not believing my eyes! We had just e'd on the 7th!

For those who wish to send a condolence card to her beloved family:

AMANDA RYNNE
6 Killarra Avenue
Camberwell
Victoria 2124

Heaven knows when my package to her will make it's way from our shores to down under. I sent her a beautiful card along with some inspirational reading material. She was open to it all. A woman full of love and grace, gratitude and determination.

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
I, just as all of us, am deeply shocked and saddened by the loss of Amanda to this world. Yet another Sister gone far too soon, far too quickly.

I know she was a BELIEVER, from her posts and our e's. She was trying to figure out what she was doing wrong, as she was doing everything right, including various forms of integrative therapies, meditation and knowing what must be done psychologically and metaphysically.

I struggled to help. I believed in her, as a woman of great knowledge and enormous kindness and caring, I truly felt we could navigate through her end stage to miraculous survival. She kept asking, What am I doing wrong?

So many have asked that, and I've truly pondered what I could offer. My recent discovery of Neville's books and his way of explaining what I've tried to convey for well over a decade, has shed new light on what I have KNOWN. So I am of course sharing this with you all.

I have often expressed the importance of our consciousness. Neville speaks of THE SUBCONSCIOUS as it is that which expresses all that is impressed on it. The Subconscious accepts as true ideas that the Conscious mind judges and predicts based on knowledge and reason.

We can control our Subconscious by feeding it our dreams and visions -- despite what our senses tell us is the reality of a situation. We can control our thoughts and it is our thoughts that preclude our emotions!

The Subconscious transcends reason. It sees a feelings as a fact existing and proceeds to give expression to it. IT'S ALL ABOUT OUR FEELINGS. And they emanate from our thoughts, which are or CAN be within our power to alter.

It's natural to feel frightened by the awful physical symptoms we each experience from our cancer, from the chemo. It is understandable that we see so many, far too many, others metastasizing and becoming overcome with their physical weakness and their sense of doom and failure -- and we therefore identify with those feelings which in turn make us shake in our boots.

I admire you all for the immense courage and determination, even humor midst crises, you possess. I marvel at your strength and wit and willingness to endure and learn and seek! But of course, the thoughts that come along with all those realities are counterproductive, and downright detrimental to our health!

So somehow we must put aside our grief and our overwhelming fear of all that we are undergoing physically. Our mourning is yet another obstacle to our wellness. We must persevere despite it. Not repress our feelings, surely we must experience them and allow them to vent. That's part of what this site is for. Because who but others just like us can begin to conceive of what it is like to be us??!!

By controlling our thoughts I do not mean that you must restrain or suppress your sorrow and fear but rather to become emboldened to discipline yourself to image and stubbornly entertain only such feelings as contribute to our happiness, despite it all! It is truly what each of us would wish for the other were we the one who succumbed.

We mustn't dwell on the imperfection of ourselves or our situation! To do so is to impress the Subconscious with LIMITATIONS.

Every feeling makes a subconscious impression. And will come to be expressed.

I am healthy is a stronger feeling than I will be healthy.

To feel I will be is to confess I am not.

I am is stronger than I am not.

What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be. The wish must be felt as a state that is -- rather than a state that is not. This is why HOPE is too weak an energy. Claiming certainty is no easy feat, I totally get that, yet, it is doable.

SENSATION PRECEDES MANIFESTATION. So be careful of your moods and feelings. There's an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.

Your body is an emotional filter and bears the unmistakable marks of your prevalent emotions. Emotional disturbances, especially suppressed emotions, are the causes of all disease!

So we must VOICE our feelings, as we do here, venting, sharing, expressing our feelings and disappointments. But we must surge through our sense of regret and failure! And focus instead on the victory we foresee for ourselves and the feelings that would coincide with such a reality. THAT is where all your concentration must go. Because THAT, those thoughts (in vivid detail) and the emotions of such a truth will in fact create your dream! With the power of your Subconscious which will transform your feelings of your truth into manifestation!

A change of feelings is a change of destiny. The Subconscious doesn't care about the truth or falsity of your feelings. It always accepts as true that which you feel to be true!

That which is declared to be true is always possible. The subconscious makes the impossible -- impossible.

What your mind can conceive and feel as true, the Subconscious can and must objectify. It is a Universal Law!

If you're feeling down, change the pattern of your feelings. Consciously think what it is you wish and FEEL exactly how you will feel were it to be come true. KNOW that you are in fact drawing what you want to you. IT ALREADY EXISTS. All you must do is call it to you with your FEELINGS.

LOVE AND LIGHT,
Andi

Andrea Barnett Budin 10-28-2013 11:04 AM

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Use your thoughts. Don't let your thoughts rule you.

We see our situation and we feel physically off and far worse. We sense this is a continuing pattern. We KNOW the statistics and they are scary. Fear is among our worst enemies!

The story we see isn't pretty but it is insistent. Despite what our senses and logic tells us, we have the power to --
THINK FROM THE END.

SEE YOURSELF AS THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE -- HAPPY, HEALTHY AND ENJOYING LIFE, like all the other normal people. See it in vivid detail. KNOW it. Become that person. NOW. Live as that person. NOW. FEEL exactly how you would feel having achieved your desired dream. BELIEVE in your ability to draw what you want to you. What would you do?

Dig your toes into the sand of a beach? Run in a field of wild flowers beside a pond under a gloriously blue and sunlit sky? Are your arms outstretched? Feeling the breeze you're creating along your arms? Are you glowing with joy? Laughing?

When our objective senses are partly suspended (in meditation for example) our subjective faculties become alert. Suggestions which appear powerless when presented directly to the objective consciousness are highly efficacious when you are in a relaxed state.

I've described my way of reaching a meditative state with SQUARE BREATHING. Gosh, it's somewhere among my posts...

Bold assertion awakens what you affirm. The thorough BELIEF in the truth of your mental assertion -- produces results. Have NO DOUBT that your subjective mind will transmit your fixed ideas. Go into controlled reverie mode. You are the artist. The creator.

Once you suggest something to the subjective mind it is under obligation to objectify that which you mentally affirm!

It is challenging to control the subconscious but it is doable by all of us. Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation...

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
YES, I KNOW CHANGING THE FUTURE IS TRULY NOT SIMPLE. BUT...


Reading Neville and had to pass these Enlightenments on to you...

Normal consciousness is focused on the senses, and is usually restricted to them. We feel crappy. We must be crappy. We can see, sense, tell we are not in a good place.

But -- it is possible for us to pass through our SENSE FIXATION into an imaginal place which we have the power to conceive (AUTHOR, DIRECT, PRODUCE AND ACT within). We can fully occupy our imagined state of being and our imagined reality!

This is turn, in accordance with some as yet discovered and/or uncodified Law, somehow becomes more alive with an energy than what we perceive to be real, and is even more responsive to our mood and desire. We can occupy the mood were the desire to become real, thus making it become real.

We can override our senses which quite naturally "stay our eye" and distract us from our desired state of being.

"If this were not true, man would be an automaton REFLECTING life;, never AFFECTING it." Man, who is all Imagination is not tenant to the brain but landlord; he need not rest content with the appearance of things; he can go beyond perceptual to conceptual Awareness.

This ability, to pass through the mechanical reflective structure of the senses, is the most important discovery man can make!

It reveals man with the powers of INTERVENTION, which enable him to alter the course of observed events moving through a series of mental transformations in himself.

ATTENTION, the spearhead of Imaging, may be either attracted from without as his senses "stay his eye" or driven from within "if he pleases" and through the senses pass into the wish fulfilled.

To move from perceptual awareness, or things as they SEEM, to conceptual Awareness, or THINGS AS THEY OUGHT TO BE, we imagine as vivid and as life-like a representation as possible of what we would see, hear and do and FEEL were we physically present, and physically experiencing things as they ought to be. We must imaginatively PARTICIPATE in that scene...

Andrea Barnett Budin 12-05-2013 12:53 PM

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 
Consciousness is how I think of my Spirit, or soul. I read that THE WORLD IS MAN'S CONDITIONED CONSCIOUSNESS OBJECTIFIED.

That consciousness is the CAUSE as well as the SUBSTANCE of the entire world. The SECRET OF CREATION.

Consciousness is the one and only reality. Not figuratively but actually. There are two parts -- the conscious and the subconscious.

The conscious is personal and selective. The subconscious is impersonal and nonselective. THE CONSCIOUS IS THE REALM OF EFFECT; THE SUBCONSCIOUS IN THE REALM OF CAUSE. Male and female divisions of consciousness.

The conscious generates ideas and impresses these ideas on the subconscious. The subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them.

The subconscious expresses all that is impressed upon it. It doesn't originate ideas but ACCEPTS AS TRUE THOSE WHICH THE CONSCIOUS MIND FEELS TO BE TRUE AND -- IN A WAY KNOWN ONLY TO ITSELF -- OBJECTIFIES THE ACCEPTED IDEAS.

Therefore, through our power to image and feel and our freedom of choice -- we can consciously choose to dream of a goal -- and feed the vision of it in detail, experience precisely how we will feel AS IF IT WERE NOW TRUE, hear words that others would say and how we would respond... We can occupy that space and alter Universal vibrations -- that, somehow, will bring our dream to us.

We needn't waste our time pondering how it will all come together. But, we must KNOW that it will somehow come to be! THE VIBRATORY EFFECTS OF SUBCONSCIOUS VIBRATIONS WITHIN YOU BECOME THE VIBRATORY CAUSE OF CORRESPONDING VIBRATION IN THE WORLD.

I know, it makes no sense, and yet it is just so. Test it yourself. I needn't present theories or evidence that will convince you any more than your own personal experience.

ASSUME THE FEELING OF YOUR WISH FULFILLED. For us, battling bodily dysfunction, we must not plan our funeral on the sidelines. Write letters to our children saying our goodbyes while hoping we will in fact survive. We can't realistically look for a suitable replacement for us when we are gone. All that is evidence that we do not truly believe in our wish becoming fulfilled.

The energy of the feelings awakened transforms itself into the state imagined.

My new pal Neville writes that if in 4 mnths the harvest will awaken in you a state of joy, then, inversely, the joy of harvest now will awaken the harvest now.

Now is the acceptable time to give beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, praise for the spirit of heaviness.

It is while laying in bed at night that we're most able to stand up to our conscious (reasonable, intellectual, realistic) mind. WEMUST BUILD IN DARKNESS. When our subconscious is most open to suggestion.

We know not the causes that determine our actions (as Spinoza said). But, this explanation of the power of feeling and therefore living AS IF what we want is already a reality -- brings about that reality is, though out there, surely provable. So try it yourself and see if you can show the world, and all of us, that it is doable.

Control of the subconscious is dominion over all. It's controlled through control of your BELIEFS -- the all-potent factor in the production of visible states.

IMAGINATION AND FAITH ARE THE SECRETS OF CREATION.

Living AS IF solidifies your dream, makes it manifest. Awaken the vibratory correlate.

For us, we must hold fast the pattern of healthful words in our heads. Oversee our thoughts and eject those that are full of negativity vigilantly. We must monitor our thoughts throughout the day. Keep our thoughts pure and full of clear Intention and vivid Expectation. We must see our lives as we wish it to be. And KNOW we are drawing it to us.

What we want ALREADY EXISTS. Call it to you.

Andi

Andrea Barnett Budin 12-08-2013 01:58 PM

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 

Please don't misunderstand. This ENLIGHTENMENT is incredibly simple. And, I am fully aware, it is NOT easy to attain. Yet, what you want is attainable, grasping the tenets of this amazing Lesson I have been blessed to stumble upon.

When you're a 4th stage cancer patient, especially with the HER2 gene, you are up against a mountain. Yet, with only this knowledge I am trying my best to transmit and share with you, you can achieve miraculous results for yourself... So please, read on...


CONTROL OF THE SUBCONSCIUS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH CONTROL OF YOUR IDEAS AND FEELINGS.

In the depths of your subconscious lies its ability to transcend reason. It contemplates a feeling as face existing -- and acts on this assumption to express it.

The creative process begins with an idea, runs its course as a feeling and ends in a desire to act. IDEAS ARE IMPRESSED ON THE SUBCONSCIOUS THROUGH FEELINGS. BE AWARE AND BEWARE -- once felt -- for good or bad -- the idea must be expressed. tHOSE WHO CANNOT CONTROL THEIR FEELINGS MAY EASILY IMPRESS THE SUBCONSCIOUS WITH UNDESIRABLE STATES.

Control of feeling does not mean restraint or suppression! It's the disciplining of self to imagine entertain only those feelings as will contribute to your happiness!

Dwelling on your imperfections impresses your subconscious with limitations.

I am healthy is stronger than I will be healthy. Feeling I will is confessing I am not. What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be. Which is why THE WISH MUST BE FELT AS A STATE THAT IS vs a state that is not. SENSATION precedes manifestation.

I write or post here or tell those I know truly care about me the feelings I have so as to vent them and then discharge them. Focusing instead on HEALTHY AND WELL. NO MORE CANCER. Thinking I AM AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE.

To feel intensely about a wrong without voicing or expressing that feeling is the beginning of dis-ease.

Don't entertain the feelings of regret or failure. It will do you no good. And end badly. Focus instead on thinking feelingly only of the state you desire to realize. Feeling the reality of the state sough and living and acting on that conviction is the way of all seeming miracles.

A change of feeling is a change of destiny!

What you must acquire is a reflective control of the operation of the subconscious. Controlling your ideas and feelings.

The subconscious accepts as true that which you feel as true. You, by your feelings, determine what will manifest. To seek hopefully is too weak a signal. Generally a sense of KNOWING the worst is coming, based on what your senses and logic tell you, comes with hope. That seeking is in vain therefore. "To him that hath it is given".

Denying the evidence of your senses and appropriating the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the way to the realization of your desire.

Mastery of self-control of your thoughts and feelings is your highest achievement. In spite of appearance, feel all that you truly want to feel. Use the moments before sleep and prayer to aid you in realizing your desired states. These two gateways into the subconscious are key!



LOVE AND LIGHT,

Andi

Re: A simple formula for changing the future
 

YOU are the author of your life. YOU are the director, the producer and the star of your life. Write yourself a great script.

And keep imagining exactly what your greatest desires will look like. What it will feel like. What others will say to you. IT IS AMAZING! THE CANCER IS GONE! GOOD FOR YOU! I'M SO PROUD! Imagine each detail. And keep reliving it. Let the ideas percolate in your mind and fill your thoughts daily.

And KNOW that what you are saying will harden into BELIEF and in turn will miraculously manifest as your real story, despite what your senses, reason, statistics, the experts tell you. Stop being a realist. YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR LIFE.

If you don't like your present situation, rewrite the script. In detail. And live AS IF what you want already exists. Because, it truly does already exist as a solid possibility for you to reach for!
