A simple formula for changing the future

[Andrea Barnett Budin]

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

Amanda, I don't know what to say words evade me too. This is so unfair, you are one of the my knowledeable women, you are up to date on all chemo, therapies, meditation, you are trying it all in your will to see your sons wedding.
My heart is breaking for you

My package and my love have been sent to Amanda, full of inspiration I pray.

I believe in you, Amanda. You are a wise and wonderful woman who will dig deep and live your desired dream, drawing it ever closer to you! I have faith in your power!

Hugs,

Andi

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

Amanda,
I just want to cry and probably will. You know how I feel. I am willing you out of this, dear friend.
Love

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

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
AUSTRALIA

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.

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]

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...
