Chapter 1.
2
Opening the Door to the Supernatural As spring was ending and the first glimpse of summer was approaching,
3
what first appeared to be a typical Sunday afternoon in June 2007 turned out to be anything but typical for Anna Willems.
4
The French doors from the living room to the garden were open wide, and the thin white curtains danced lightly in the breeze as scents from the garden floated inside.
5
Streams of sunlight shone brightly all around Anna as she lounged comfortably.
6
A chorus of birds chirped and trilled outside, and Anna could hear the distant melody of children's laughter and playful splashing coming from a neighbor's swimming pool.
7
Anna's 12-year-old son reclined on the sofa, reading a book, and she could hear her 11-year-old daughter in the room directly above her,
8
singing to herself as she played.
9
A psychotherapist, Anna worked as a manager and board member for a major psychiatric institution in Amsterdam, whose profits totaled more than 10 million euros annually.
10
She often caught up on professional reading on the weekends, and on this day, she was sitting in her red leather chair reading a journal article.
11
Little did Anna know
12
that what looked like the perfect world to anyone peering into her living room that day would become a nightmare within minutes.
13
Anna felt a bit distracted, noticing that her attention wasn't fully engaged in the material she was attempting to study.
14
She set her papers down and paused, suddenly wondering again where her husband had gone.
15
He had left the house early that morning while she was taking a shower.
16
Without saying where he was headed, he had simply disappeared.
17
The children had told her that their father had said goodbye, giving each of them a big hug before he left.
18
She tried to reach him on his cell phone many times, but he hadn't returned her calls.
19
She tried one more time.
20
No answer.
21
Something definitely felt odd.
22
At 3.30pm, the doorbell rang, and when Anna opened the front door, she found two police officers standing outside.
23
Are you Mrs. Willems? one of them asked.
24
When she confirmed she was indeed Mrs. Willems, the officers asked if they could come in and talk to her.
25
Concerned and a bit confused, she complied.
26
Then they delivered the news.
27
Earlier that morning, her husband had jumped off one of the tallest buildings in the center of the city.
28
Not surprisingly, the fall was fatal.
29
Anna and her two children sat in shock and disbelief.
30
Anna's breath momentarily stopped, and as she then gasped for air, she started to shake uncontrollably.
31
The moment seemed frozen in time.
32
While her children sat paralyzed in shock, Anna tried to hide her pain and stress for their sakes.
33
An intense pain suddenly shot through her head And she simultaneously felt a deep, hollow ache in her gut
34
Her neck and shoulders instantly stiffened As her mind frenetically raced from thought to thought
35
The hormones of stress had overtaken her Anna was now in survival mode How Stress Hormones Take Over From a scientific standpoint,
36
living in stress is living in survival
37
When we perceive a stressful circumstance that threatens us in some way One for
38
which we cannot predict or control the outcome
39
A primitive nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system turns on
40
And the body mobilizes an enormous amount of energy in response to the stressor Physiologically, the body is automatically tapping into the resources it will need to deal with the current danger
41
The pupils dilate so we can see better The heart rate and respiratory rate increase so we can run, fight or hide
42
More glucose is released into the bloodstream to make more energy available to our cells
43
And our blood flow is shunted to the extremities and away from our internal organs
44
so we can move quickly if we need to.
45
The immune system initially dials up and then dials down as adrenaline and cortisol flood the muscles, providing a rush of energy to either escape or fend off the stressor.
46
Circulation moves out of our rational forebrain and is instead relayed to our hindbrain, so we have less capacity to think creatively and instead rely more on our instinct to instantly react.
47
In Anna's case, the stressful news of her husband's suicide threw her brain and body into just such a state of survival.
48
In the short term, all organisms can tolerate adverse conditions by fighting, hiding or fleeing from an impending stressor
49
All of us are built for dealing with short-term bursts of stress When the event is over, the body normally returns to balance within hours Increasing its energy levels
50
and restoring its vital resources But when the stress doesn't end within hours, the body never returns to balance In truth,
51
no organism in nature can endure living in emergency mode for extended periods of time Because of our large brains, human beings are capable of thinking about their problems,
52
reliving past events, or even forecasting future worst-case situations, and thus turning on the cascade of stress chemicals by thought alone We can knock our brains
53
and bodies out of normal physiology just by thinking about an all-too-familiar past, or trying to control an unpredictable future Every day,
54
Anna relived that event over and over in her mind
55
What she didn't realize was
56
that her body did not know the difference between the original event
57
that created the stress response And the memory of the event
58
which created the same emotions as the real life experience all over again
59
Anna was producing the same chemistry in her brain and body as if the event were actually happening again and again
60
Subsequently her brain was continuously wiring the event into her memory bank
61
And her body was emotionally experiencing the same chemicals from the past at least a hundred times each day
62
By repeatedly recalling the experience, she was unintentionally anchoring her brain and body to the past
63
Emotions are the chemical consequences or feedback of past experiences As our senses record incoming information from the environment,
64
clusters of neurons organize into networks When they freeze into a pattern, the brain makes a chemical that is then sent throughout the body
65
That chemical is called an emotion We remember events better when we can remember how they feel
66
The stronger the emotional quotient from any event, either good or bad, the stronger the change in our internal chemistry When we notice a significant change inside of us,
67
the brain pays attention to whoever, or whatever, is causing the change outside of us And it takes a snapshot of the outer experience
68
That's called a memory
69
Therefore the memory of an event can become branded neurologically in the brain
70
And that scene becomes frozen in time in our grey matter, just as it did for Anna
71
The combination of various people or objects at a particular time and place from that stressful experience
72
is etched into our neural architecture as a holographic image
73
That's how we create a long-term memory
74
Therefore the experience becomes imprinted in the neural circuitry and the emotion is stored in the body
75
and that's how our past becomes our biology In other words,
76
when we experience a traumatic event we tend to think neurologically within the circuitry of that experience and we tend to feel, chemically, within the boundaries of the emotions from that event.
77
So our entire state of being, how we think and how we feel, becomes biologically stuck in the past.
78
As you can imagine, Anna was feeling a rush of negative emotions, tremendous sadness, pain, victimization, grief, guilt, shame, despair, anger, hatred,
79
frustration, resentment, shock, fear, anxiety, worry, overwhelm, anguish, hopelessness, powerlessness,
80
isolation, loneliness, disbelief and betrayal.
81
And none of those emotions dissipated quickly.
82
As Anna analysed her life within the emotions of the past, she kept suffering more and more.
83
Because she couldn't think greater than how she constantly felt, and since emotions are a record of the past, she was thinking in the past, and every day she felt worse.
84
As a psychotherapist, she could rationally and intellectually understand what was happening to her, but all her insights couldn't get beyond her suffering.
85
People in her life started treating her as the person who had lost her husband, and that became her new identity.
86
She associated her memories and feelings with the reason she was in her present state.
87
When anyone asked her why she felt so bad, she told the story of the suicide, each time reliving the pain, anguish, and suffering over again.
88
All along, Anna kept firing the same circuits in her brain and reproducing the same emotions, conditioning her brain and body further into the past.
89
Every day, she was thinking, acting and feeling as if the past was still alive.
90
And since how we think, how we act and how we feel is our personality, Anna's personality was completely created by the past.
91
From a biological standpoint, in repeatedly telling the narrative of her husband's suicide, Anna literally couldn't get beyond what had happened.
92
A downward spiral begins.
93
Anna could no longer work and had to take leave of absence.
94
During that time, she found out that her husband, although a successful lawyer, had made a mess of their personal finances.
95
She would have to pay off significant debts that she had previously been unaware of, and she didn't have the money to even begin.
96
Not surprisingly, even more emotional, psychological, and mental stress began to add up.
97
Anna's mind went in circles, constantly flooded with questions.
98
How will I take care of our children?
99
How will all of us deal with this trauma in our future, and how will it affect our lives?
100
Why did my husband leave without saying goodbye to me?
101
How could I not know he was so unhappy?
102
Did I fail as a wife?
103
How could he leave me with two young children, and how will I manage to raise them by myself?
104
Then judgments crept into her thoughts.
105
He shouldn't have committed suicide and left me in this financial mess.
106
What a coward.
107
How dare he leave his children without a father?
108
He didn't even write a message for the children and me.
109
I hate him for not even leaving a note.
110
What a jerk to leave me and make me raise these kids alone.
111
Did he have any idea what this might do to us?
112
All of these thoughts carried a strong emotional charge further affecting her body.
113
Nine months later, on March 21st, 2008, Anna woke up paralyzed from the waist down.
114
Within hours, she was lying in a hospital bed, a wheelchair beside her, diagnosed with neuritis, inflammation of the peripheral nervous system.
115
After several tests, the doctors could not find anything structural as the cause of the problem
116
So they told Anna that she must have an autoimmune condition
117
Her immune system was attacking the nervous system in her lower spine
118
Breaking down the protective layer that caused the nerves
119
and causing paralysis in both of her legs She could not hold her urine, had difficulty controlling her bowels And had no feeling
120
or motor control in her legs and feet
121
When the fight-or-flight nervous system is switched on and stays on because of chronic stress
122
the body utilizes all its energy reserves to deal with the constant threat it perceives from the outer environment.
123
Therefore the body has no energy left in its inner environment for growth and repair compromising the immune system.
124
So because of her repeated inner conflict Anna's immune system was attacking her body.
125
She had finally physically manifested the pain and suffering she'd emotionally experiencing in her mind.
126
In short Anna could not move her body because she wasn't moving forward in her life.
127
She was stuck in her past.
128
For the next six weeks, Anna's doctors treated her with huge doses of intravenous dexamethasone and other corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
129
Because of the added stress and the types of drugs she was taking, which can further weaken the immune system,
130
she also developed an aggressive bacterial infection for which her doctors gave her huge doses of antibiotics.
131
After two months, Anna was released from the hospital and had to use a walker and crutches to get around.
132
She still could not feel her left leg and found standing very difficult.
133
She couldn't walk properly.
134
Although she could hold her bowels a bit better, she still couldn't control her urine.
135
As you can imagine, this new situation was adding to Anna's already high stress levels.
136
She had lost her husband to suicide.
137
She could not work very much to support herself and her children.
138
She was in serious financial crisis, and she had been living in a hospital paralyzed for more than two months.
139
Her mother had to move in to help.
140
Anna was an emotional, mental, and physical wreck, and although she had the best doctors and the latest medications from a reputable hospital, she was not getting any better.
141
By 2009, two years after the death of her husband, she was diagnosed with clinical depression, so she started taking even more medication.
142
Consequently, Anna's mood swung widely from anger to grief to pain to suffering to hopelessness to frustration to fear to hatred.
143
Because those emotions influenced her actions, her behavior became somewhat irrational.
144
At first, she fought with almost everybody around her except her children, but then she started to have conflicts with her youngest daughter.
145
The Dark Night of the Soul In the meantime, many more physical problems started showing up and Anna's journey became even more painful.
146
The mucous membranes in her mouth started to develop large ulcerations
147
that spread into her upper esophagus as a result of another autoimmune disease called erosive lichen and plainness.
148
To treat it, she had to use corticosteroid ointments in her mouth in addition to more pills.
149
These new medications caused Anna's saliva production to stop.
150
She couldn't eat solid foods, so she lost her appetite.
151
Anna was living with all three types of stress, physical, chemical, and emotional, at the same time.
152
In 2010, Anna found herself in a dysfunctional relationship with a man who traumatized her and her children with verbal abuse, power games, and constant threats.
153
She lost all her money, her job, and her feeling of safety When she lost her house,
154
she had to move in with her abusive boyfriend Stress levels continued climbing Her ulcerations started to spread to other mucous membranes, including her vagina, her anus,
155
and further down her esophagus Her immune system had totally collapsed And now she was experiencing several different skin conditions,
156
food allergies, and weight problems Then she started having problems swallowing and developing heartburn,
157
for which the doctors prescribed still more medications Anna started a small psychotherapy practice at home in October.
158
She could only handle seeing clients for two sessions a day
159
in the morning after her children went to school three days a week.
160
In the afternoon, she was so tired and sick that she would lie in bed until her children returned from school.
161
She tried to be there for them as much as possible, but she had no energy and didn't feel well enough to leave the house.
162
Anna hardly saw anyone.
163
She had no social life.
164
All the circumstances in her body and in her life constantly reminded her how bad things were.
165
She automatically reacted to everyone and everything.
166
Her thinking was chaotic and she could not concentrate.
167
She had no vitality or energy to live anymore.
168
Often when she exerted herself her heart rate exceeded 200 beats per minute.
169
She found herself sweating and gasping for breath all the time
170
and she felt an enormous pain in her chest on a regular basis.
171
Anna was passing through her darkest night of the soul.
172
Suddenly, she understood why her husband had taken his life
173
She wasn't sure she could go on anymore And started thinking of committing suicide herself She thought,
174
it can't get any worse than this And then it did In January 2011,
175
Anna's medical team found a tumor near the entrance of her stomach And diagnosed her with esophageal cancer Of course,
176
this news severely increased Anna's stress levels The doctors suggested a rigorous course of chemotherapy.
177
No one asked about her emotional and mental stress.
178
They only treated the physical symptoms.
179
But Anna's stress response was fully turned on, and it couldn't turn off.
180
It's amazing how this can happen to so many people.
181
Because of a shock or trauma in their lives, they never get beyond those corresponding emotions, and their health and their lives break down.
182
If an addiction is something that you think you can't stop Then objectively, it looks as though people like Anna become addicted to the very emotions of stress that are making them sick
183
The rush of adrenaline and the rest of the stress hormones arouses their brain
184
and body Providing a rush of energy In time, they become addicted to the rush of that chemistry
185
And then they use the people and conditions in their lives to reaffirm their addiction to the emotion
186
Just to keep feeling that heightened state
187
Anna was using her stressful conditions to recreate that rush of energy and without realizing it, she became emotionally addicted to a life she hated.
188
Science tells us that such chronic long-term stress pushes the genetic buttons that cause disease.
189
So if Anna was turning the stress response on by thinking about her problems in her past, her thoughts were making her sick.
190
And since stress hormones are so powerful, she had become addicted to her own thoughts that were making her feel so bad.
191
Anna agreed to start chemotherapy, but after her first session she had an emotional and mental breakdown.
192
One afternoon after her kids went to school, Anna collapsed on the floor crying.
193
She had finally reached the bottom.
194
It occurred to her that if she continued this way, she would not survive for long and she would leave her children alone without either parent.
195
She started to pray for help.
196
She knew in her heart that something needed to change.
197
In utter sincerity and surrender, she asked for guidance, support and a way out, promising that if her prayers were answered,
198
she would be thankful and grateful every day for the rest of her life, and she would help others to do the same.
199
Anna's Turning Point The choice to change became Anna's quest.
200
She first decided to stop all the treatments and all the medications for her various physical illnesses, although she continued to take her antidepressants.
201
She didn't tell the doctors and nurses that she was not coming back for treatment.
202
she simply did not show up anymore.
203
No one ever called her to ask why.
204
Only her family doctor contacted Anna to express concern.
205
On that cold winter's day in February 2011
206
when Anna was on the floor crying for help she made a choice with a firm intention to change herself
207
and her life and the amplitude of that decision carried a level of energy
208
that caused her body to respond to her mind.
209
It was that decision to change
210
that gave her the strength to rent a house for herself
211
and her children and to move away from the negative relationship she was in.
212
It was as if that moment redefined her.
213
She knew she had to start all over.
214
When I first saw Anna, it was one month later.
215
One of the few friends she had left had reserved a seat for Anna at a Friday evening talk
216
that I was giving.
217
Her friend made Anna an offer.
218
If she liked the evening lecture, she could stay for a full two-day weekend workshop.
219
Anna agreed to go.
220
The first time I saw her, she was sitting in a packed conference room on the left side on the outer aisle
221
Her crutches leaning against the wall near where she sat As usual, I was carrying on that night about how our thoughts
222
and feelings affect our bodies and our lives I lectured about how stressed chemicals can create disease I touched on neuroplasticity,
223
psychoneuroimmunology, epigenetics, neuroendocrinology, and even quantum physics
224
I will go into more detail on all of these later in this book but for now, it's enough to know that the latest research in these branches of science point to the power of possibility.
225
That night filled with inspiration, Anna thought, if I created the life I have now, including my paralysis, my depression,
226
my weakened immune system, my ulcerations, and even my cancer, maybe I can uncreate everything with the same passion I created it with.
227
And with that potent new understanding, Anna decided to heal herself.
228
Immediately after her first weekend workshop She started meditating twice a day Of course, sitting and doing meditations Was difficult at the beginning
229
She had a lot of doubt to overcome
230
And some days she did not feel mentally or physically well But she did her meditations anyway
231
She also had a lot of fear
232
When a family doctor called to check up on her Because she had stopped her treatments and medications
233
He told Anna that she was being naive and stupid And that she would get worse and die soon
234
Imagine the memory of an authority figure telling you that Even so, Anna did her meditations every day and began to move beyond her fears.
235
She was often consumed with financial burdens, her children's needs and various physical limitations, yet she never used those conditions as an excuse to not do her inner work.
236
She even attended four more of my workshops during that year.
237
By going within and changing her unconscious thoughts, automatic habits and reflexive emotional states, which had become hardwired in her brain and emotionally conditioned in her body,
238
Anna was now more committed to believing in a new future than believing in her same familiar past.
239
She used her meditations, combining a clear intention with an elevated emotion, to change her state of being from biologically living in the same past to living in a new future.
240
Every day, Anna was unwilling to get up from her meditations as the same person who sat down.
241
She decided that she wouldn't finish until her whole state of being was in love with life.
242
To the materialist, who defines reality with the senses, Of course, Anna had no tangible reason to be in love with life.
243
She was a depressed, widowed, single parent who was in financial debt and had no real job.
244
She had cancer and suffered from paralysis and ulcerations in her mucous membranes.
245
And she was in a poor living situation with no partner or significant other and no energy to tend to her children.
246
But in the meditations, Anna learned
247
that she could teach her body emotionally what her future would feel like ahead of the actual experience.
248
Her body as the unconscious mind did not know the difference between the real event
249
and the one she was imagining and emotionally embracing
250
She also knew through her understanding of epigenetics that the elevated emotions of love,
251
joy, gratitude, inspiration, compassion and freedom could signal new genes to make healthy proteins affecting her body's structure and function
252
She fully understood that if the stress chemicals that had been coursing through her body had been turning on unhealthy genes
253
then by fully embracing those elevated emotions with a passion greater than the stressful emotions
254
she could turn on new genes and change her health.
255
For a year her health didn't change very much but she kept doing her meditations.
256
In fact she did all the meditations I designed for students.
257
She knew it had taken several years to create her current health conditions
258
and so it would take some time to recreate something new.
259
So she kept doing the work striving to become
260
so conscious of her unconscious thoughts behaviors and emotions
261
that she would not let anything she did not want to experience slip by her awareness.
262
After that first year, Anna noticed that she was slowly starting to get better mentally and emotionally.
263
Anna was breaking the habit of being herself, inventing a whole new self instead.
264
Anna knew from attending my workshops
265
that she had to move her autonomic nervous system back into balance
266
because the ANS controls all the automatic functions that happen beyond the brain's conscious awareness, digestion, absorption, blood sugar levels,
267
body temperature, hormonal secretions, heart rate and so on.
268
The only way she could slip into the operating system
269
and affect the ANS was to change her internal state on a regular basis.
270
So first Anna began each meditation with the blessing of the energy centers.
271
These specific areas of the body are under the control of the ANS.
272
As I mentioned in the introduction, each center has its own energy or frequency which emits specific information or has its own consciousness, its own glands, its own hormones,
273
its own chemistry, its own individual little mini brain, and therefore its own mind.
274
Each center is influenced by the subconscious brain sitting under our conscious thinking brain.
275
Anna learned how to change her brainwaves so she could enter the operating system of the ANS, located in the midbrain, and reprogram each center to work in a more harmonious manner.
276
Every day with focus and passion, she rested her attention in each area of her body, as well as the space around each center, blessing it for greater health and the greater good.
277
Slowly but surely, she began to influence her health by reprogramming her autonomic nervous system back to balance.
278
Anna also learned a specific breathing technique I teach in our work to liberate all the emotional energy
279
that is stored in the body when we keep thinking and feeling the same way.
280
By constantly thinking the same thoughts, Anna had been creating the same feelings, and then by feeling those familiar emotions, she would think more of the same corresponding thoughts.
281
She learned that the Emotions of the past were stored in her body, but she could use this breathing technique to liberate that stored energy and free herself from her past.
282
So every day, with a level of intensity that was greater than her addiction to past emotions, she practiced the breath and got better and better at doing it.
283
After she learned to move that stored energy in her body, she learned how to recondition her body to a new mind
284
by embracing the heart-centered emotions of her future before her future unfolded.
285
Since Anna also studied the model of epigenetics I teach in our workshops and lectures, she learned that genes don't create disease, instead the environment signals the gene to create disease.
286
Anna understood that if her emotions were the chemical consequences of experiences in her environment, and if she lived every day by the same emotions from her past,
287
she was selecting and instructing the same genes that might be causing her poor health conditions.
288
If she could instead embody the emotions of her future life by embracing those emotions before the experience actually happened.
289
She could change her genetic expression and actually change her body to be biologically aligned with her new future.
290
Anna did an additional meditation that involved resting her attention in the center of her chest, activating the ANS with those elevated states to create
291
and maintain a very efficient type of heart rate we called a coherent heart rate, which I'll explain in detail later in the book for extended periods of time.
292
She learned that when she felt resentment, impatience, frustration, anger and hatred, those states induced the stress response and caused the heart to be incoherently and out of order.
293
Anna learned in my workshops that once she could sustain this new heart-centered state, just as she had gotten used to feeling all of those negative emotions on a regular basis,
294
in time, she could feel these new emotions more fully and deeply.
295
Of course, it took quite a bit of effort to trade anger, fear, depression and resentment for joy, love, gratitude and freedom, but Anna never gave up.
296
She knew that those elevated motions would release more than a thousand different chemicals that would repair and restore her body, and she went for it.
297
Anna then practiced a walking meditation I designed in which she walked as a new self every day.
298
Instead of sitting down and meditating with her eyes closed, she started these meditations standing up with her eyes closed.
299
While standing, she got into the meditative state that she knew would change her state of being, and then while still in that state, she opened her eyes, staying in a meditative state,
300
and walked as her future self.
301
By doing so, she was embodying a new habit of thinking, acting, and feeling on a regular basis.
302
What she was creating would soon become her new personality.
303
She never wanted to go unconscious again and return to her old self.
304
Because of all this work, Anna could see that her thought patterns had changed.
305
She was no longer firing the same circuits in her brain in the same way, so those circuits stopped wiring together and started pruning apart.
306
As a result, she stopped thinking in the same old ways.
307
Emotionally, she began to feel glimpses of gratitude and pleasure for the first time in years.
308
In her meditations, she was conquering some aspect of her body and her mind every day.
309
Anna calmed down and became much less addicted to the emotions derived from stress hormones.
310
She even started to feel love again, and she kept going, overcoming, overcoming, and overcoming every day on her way to becoming someone else.
311
Anna grabs a hold of possibility.

In May 2012, Anna attended one of my four-day progressive workshops held in upstate New York.
313
On the third day, during the last of four meditations, she completely surrendered and finally let go.
314
For the first time since she had started meditating, she found herself floating in an infinite black space, aware that she was aware of herself.
315
She had moved beyond the memory of who she was and became pure consciousness
316
Totally free of her body
317
Of her association to the material world and of linear time She felt
318
so free that she no longer cared about her health conditions She felt
319
so unlimited that she couldn't identify with her present identity She felt
320
so elevated that she was no longer connected to her past In this state,
321
Anna had no problems She left her pain behind And she was truly free for the first time She wasn't her name, her gender, her disease, her culture or her profession.
322
She was beyond space and time.
323
She had connected to a field of information called the quantum field, where all possibilities exist.
324
Suddenly, she saw herself in a brand new future, standing on a huge stage, holding a microphone, and talking to a crowd as she told them the entire story of her healing.
325
She wasn't imagining or visualizing this scene.
326
It was as if she got a download of information, a glimpse of herself as a totally different woman in a new reality.
327
Her inner world appeared much more real to her than her outer world, and she was having a full-on sensory experience without using her senses.
328
The moment Anna experienced this new life in the meditation, a burst of joy and light came into her body, and she felt relief on a deep, visceral level.
329
She knew she was something or someone greater, much grander than her physical body.
330
In this state of intense joy, she felt such delight and such immense gratitude that she burst into laughter.
331
And at that moment, Anna knew she was going to be okay.
332
From then on, she developed so much trust, joy, love and gratitude that her meditations became easier and easier And she began to go much deeper
333
As Anna moved out of her past, she felt this new energy opening her heart further and further
334
Instead of seeing her meditations as something she had to do every day, she started looking forward to them It became her way of life Doing the work became her habit
335
Her energy and vitality returned She stopped taking antidepressants Her thought patterns completely changed and her feelings were different.
336
She felt like she was in a new state of being, so her actions changed drastically.
337
Anna's health and life improved tremendously that year.
338
The next year, she attended several more events.
339
By keeping connected to the work, Anna started to develop relationships with more people in our community, and she received more and more support to keep her going on her journey back to health.
340
Like many of our students, she sometimes found it challenging not to take a few steps back into the old programs and the old patterns of thinking,
341
feeling, and acting when she returned home after a workshop.
342
But even so, she kept doing her meditations every day.
343
In September 2013, Anna's doctors gave her a very thorough medical checkup that included many different tests.
344
One year and nine months after her cancer diagnosis And six years after her husband's suicide
345
Anna's cancer had completely healed
346
And the tumor in her esophagus had vanished Her blood tests showed no cancer markers The mucous membranes in her esophagus, vagina and anus were completely healed
347
Only a few minor problems remained The mucous membranes in her
348
mouth were still slightly red Although she no longer had any ulcerations
349
And because of the medication she had taken for the ulcerations She still didn't produce saliva
350
Anna had become a new person A new person who is healthy The disease existed in the old personality By thinking,
351
acting and feeling differently Anna reinvented a new self In a sense, she had become reborn in the same life
352
In December 2013 Anna came to an event in Barcelona With a friend who had introduced her to my work
353
After hearing me tell the participants a story About a remarkable healing of another student in our community
354
Anna decided it was time to share her story with me
355
She wrote it all down and gave the letter to my personal assistant.
356
Like many letters I get from students, the first line read, You are not going to believe this.
357
After I read what she'd written, the next day, I asked Anna to come up on stage and share her story with the audience.
358
And there she was, a year and a half after the vision she'd had during her meditation in New York, unbeknownst to me, standing on a stage,
359
talking to an audience about her journey healing herself.
360
After the Barcelona event, Anna was inspired to work on her mouth even more.
361
About six months later, I was lecturing in London, and Anna attended.
362
I spoke in detail about epigenetics.
363
Suddenly, a light went on for Anna.
364
I've healed myself of all these medical conditions, including cancer, she thought.
365
I should be able to signal the gene for my mouth to produce more saliva.
366
A few months later, during another workshop in 2014, Anna suddenly felt saliva dripping in her mouth.
367
Ever since then, Anna's mucous membranes and her saliva production have returned to normal.
368
The ulcerations never came back.
369
Today, Anna is a healthy, vital, happy, stable person with a very sharp and clear mind.
370
Spiritually, she has grown so much that she goes very deep in her meditations and has had many mystical experiences.
371
She is living a life full of creation, love and joy.
372
She has become one of my corporate trainers regularly teaching this work to organizations and companies.
373
In 2016, she founded a successful psychiatric institution employing more than 20 therapists
374
and practitioners She is financially independent and earns enough money to live a rich life She travels around the world,
375
visits beautiful places and meets very inspiring people She has a very loving and joyful partner
376
As well as new friends and new relationships that honor both her and her children
377
When you ask Anna about her past health problems She will tell you
378
that having those challenges was the best thing that ever happened to her
379
Think about it
380
What if the worst thing
381
that ever happened to you turns out to be the best thing that has ever happened to you?
382
She often tells me that she loves her present life and I always respond, Of course you do.
383
You created your life every day by not getting up from your meditations until you were in love with that life.
384
So now you get to love your life.
385
It was through the course of her transformation that Anna had, in effect, become supernatural.
386
She had overcome her identity which was connected to her past and she literally created a new, healthy future and her biology responded to a new mind
387
Anna is now the living example of truth and possibility and if Anna healed herself, so can you
388
Getting Mystical
389
Healing all sorts of physical conditions may be a very impressive benefit of doing this work
390
but it's not the only one
391
Because this book is also about the mystical
392
I want to open your mind to a realm of reality that will be just as transformative as healing, but that works on a deeper and different level.
393
Becoming supernatural can also involve embracing a greater awareness of yourself and who you are in this world, and in other worlds as well.
394
Let me share some stories about this from my own life to illustrate exactly what I mean, and to show you what is possible for you too.
395
One rainy winter evening in the Pacific Northwest, as I sat on my couch after a very long day,
396
I listened to the branches of the tall fir trees outside my window filtering the gusts of wind through their canopies.
397
My children were in bed, deep asleep, and at last I had a moment to myself.
398
As I got comfortable, I began to review all the things I needed to accomplish the following day.
399
By the time I'd made my mental list, I was too exhausted to think, so I just sat still for a few minutes, my mind empty.
400
As I watched the shadows from the flames in the fireplace flicker and dance on the walls, I began to move into trance.
401
My body was tired, but my mind was clear I wasn't thinking
402
or analyzing anymore I was simply staring into space being in the present moment
403
As my body relaxed more and more I slowly
404
and consciously let it fall asleep as I simultaneously kept my mind conscious
405
and awake I wouldn't let my attention narrow in on any object in the room but instead kept my focus open
406
This was a game I often played with myself
407
I liked the practice because every once in a while if everything lined up I had very profound transcendental experiences.
408
It was as if a door of sorts opened somewhere between wakefulness, sleep, and normal dreaming, and I slipped into a very lucid, mystical moment.
409
I reminded myself to not expect anything, but to simply stay open.
410
It took a lot of patience to not rush it, or get frustrated, or try to make something happen, but instead to slowly slip into that other world.
411
That day I had finished writing an article about the pineal gland.
412
After spending several months researching all the magical derivatives of melatonin
413
that this little alchemical center had up its sleeve I was overjoyed about linking the scientific world and the spirit world
414
For weeks my entire mind had been consumed with thinking about
415
the role of the pineal metabolites As a possible connection to
416
the mystical experiences most ancient cultures knew how to elicit Such as Native American shamanic visions,
417
the Hindu experience of samadhi And other similar rituals involving altered states of consciousness
418
Some concepts that had been loose ends for years Had suddenly clicked for me
419
And my discoveries left me feeling more whole I thought I
420
was one step closer to understanding the bridge To higher dimensions of space
421
and time All the information I had learned Inspired me to a deeper awareness About what is possible for human beings
422
Yet I was still curious to learn more
423
Curious enough to move my awareness To where the pineal gland existed in my head
424
I casually thought Speaking to the gland Where are you anyway?
425
As I rested my attention in the space the pineal gland occupies in my brain, and as I was drifting off into the blackness,
426
suddenly, out of nowhere, a vivid image of my pineal gland appeared in my mind as a three-dimensional round knob.
427
Its mouth was wide open in a spasm, and it was releasing a white milky substance.
428
I was shocked by the intensity of the holographic image, but was too relaxed to be aroused or react, so I simply surrendered and observed.
429
It was so real.
430
I knew what I was seeing before me was my own tiny pineal gland.
431
In the next instant, a huge timepiece appeared right in front of me.
432
It was one of those old fashioned pocket watches with a chain and the vision was incredibly vivid.
433
The moment I put my attention on the timepiece, I received very clear information.
434
I suddenly knew that linear time as I believed it to be, with a definite past, present and future, was not the way the world really works.
435
Instead, I understood that everything is actually happening in an eternal, present moment.
436
In this infinite amount of time, there exist infinite spaces, dimensions, or possible realities to experience.
437
If there is only one eternal moment happening, then it makes sense that we would have no past in this incarnation, let alone no past lives.
438
But I could see every past
439
and future like I was looking at an old-fashioned piece of movie film with an endless number of frames, with the frames representing not single moments,
440
but Windows of limitless possibilities that existed as scaffolding and went on in all directions forever.
441
It was much like looking into two mirrors opposite one another and seeing infinite spaces or dimensions reflected in both directions.
442
But to understand what I was seeing, imagine that those infinite dimensions are above and below you, in front and behind you, and to your left and to your right.
443
And each one of those limitless possibilities already existed.
444
I knew that by putting my attention on any one of those possibilities,
445
I would actually experience that reality I also realized I wasn't separate from anything I sense oneness with everything,
446
everyone, every place and every time I can only describe it as the most familiar, unfamiliar feeling I've ever had in my life The pineal gland,
447
as soon as I understood I was being shown serves as a dimensional timepiece that, when activated, can dial into any time When I saw the hands of the timepiece move forward or backward,
448
I understood that, like a time machine set to any particular time, there is also a reality or a dimension to experience in a particular space.
449
This amazing vision was showing me that the pineal gland, like a cosmic antenna, had the ability to tune into information beyond our physical senses
450
and to hook us up to other realities that already exist in the eternal moment.
451
While the download of information I received seemed limitless, no words exist that can completely describe the magnitude of this experience.
452
Experiencing my past and future selves simultaneously As the hands of the watch moved backward to a past time,
453
a dimension of space and time came to life.
454
I immediately found myself in a reality relevant to me personally, although amazingly, that past moment was still occurring in the present moment I was experiencing
455
while sitting on my couch in the living room.
456
I next became aware that I was in a physical space at that specific time.
457
I observed myself as a young child, again, while simultaneously having the experience of being the adult me on the couch.
458
The child version of me was about seven years old and had a very high fever.
459
I remember how much I loved fevers at that age
460
because I could go deep within and have the kind of abstract dreams
461
and visions that often come with the delirium produced by high body temperatures.
462
This specific time I was in my room in bed with the covers up the bridge of my nose, and my mother had just left the room.
463
I was happy I was alone.
464
The moment she closed the door, I somehow innately knew to do exactly what I had just been doing in my living room as an adult,
465
continuously relaxing my body and remaining somewhere between sleep and wakefulness, as I stayed present to whatever came up.
466
Up to this point in my present life, I had completely forgotten about the memory of this childhood experience, but when I lived it again in that moment, I saw myself in the midst of a lucid,
467
conscious dream, comprehending possible realities like the squares on a chessboard.
468
As I observed myself as this young boy, I was deeply moved by what he was attempting to understand, and I wondered how he could grasp such complicated concepts at his age.
469
In that moment, as I watched him, I fell in love with that little guy, and the second I embraced that emotion, I somehow felt a simultaneous connection to both that point in time
470
and the one I was experiencing as my present time back in Washington State.
471
I had such a strong knowingness that what I was doing then
472
and what I am doing now were happening at the same time and that those moments were significantly connected.
473
In that split second, the love I felt for him as my present self was drawing
474
that young boy to the future I was living now.
475
Then the experience got even stranger.
476
That scene faded away And the watch appeared again I became aware
477
that the hands of the timepiece Could also move forward
478
Filled with a sense of wonder And without any trepidation or fear I simply observed the watch move forward in time
479
Instantaneously I was standing barefoot in my backyard In Washington in the cold night
480
It's difficult to explain what time it was
481
Because it was the same night I was in my living room But the me who was outside the house
482
Was the me from the future in that now Again, words are limited here, but the only way I can explain this experience is that the future personality,
483
called Joe Dispenza, had changed immensely I was so much more evolved, and I felt amazing, euphoric in fact I was so aware,
484
or should I say as that person, I am so aware By aware,
485
I mean superconscious, as if all my senses were heightened 100% Everything I saw, touched, felt, smelt, tasted and heard was amplified
486
My senses were so elevated that I was acutely aware of
487
and paying attention to everything around me Wanting to experience the moment completely And because my awareness increased so drastically, so did my consciousness and therefore my energy
488
Feeling
489
so full of this intense energy caused me to be more
490
conscious of everything I sensed simultaneously I can describe this feeling only as consistent,
491
unwavering, highly organized energy It was nothing like the chemical emotions we normally feel as human beings In fact,
492
in that moment I knew I couldn't even feel those normal human emotions I'd evolved beyond them I did, however, feel love Although it was an evolved form of love that was not chemical,
493
but electric I felt almost as though I was on fire, passionately in love with life I was in an incredibly pure
494
form of joy I was also walking around my backyard in the middle of winter with no shoes and no jacket Yet,
495
I was so aware of the feeling of the cold that it was actually intensely enjoyable
496
I didn't have an opinion about how ice cold the ground
497
under my feet was I just loved having my feet touch the frozen grass on the earth
498
and I felt very connected to both the feeling
499
and the grass I understood that if I entertained the typical thoughts
500
and judgments I normally would have about being cold it would cause me to create a sense of polarity
501
dividing the energy I was experiencing If I judged it, I would lose the feeling of wholeness
502
The amazing feeling of energy that I was experiencing inside my body was
503
so much greater than the conditions in my surrounding environment, the cold.
504
And as a result, I effortlessly embraced the cold with zeal.
505
It was simply life.
506
In fact, it was so pleasurable that I didn't want the moment to end.
507
I wanted it to last forever.
508
I walked as this upgraded version of myself with strength and knowingness.
509
I felt very empowered and calm, yet overflowing with joy for existence and love for life.
510
Passing through my garden, I intentionally walked on huge basalt columns that were laid on their sides, stacked like huge stairs to create levels to set at the fire pit.
511
I loved the experience of walking barefoot on those huge pieces of stone.
512
I truly honored their magnificence.
513
As I continued walking, I approached a fountain that I had built
514
and I smiled at the memory of my brother and me creating such a marvel.
515
Suddenly, I saw a tiny woman in a glowing white garment.
516
She was no more than two feet tall
517
and she was standing a little behind the fountain with another woman of normal size who was dressed similarly
518
and was also radiant and full of light.
519
The other woman stood in the background observing, seemingly acting as the tiny woman's protector.
520
When I looked at the tiny woman, she turned to me and gazed into my eyes.
521
I felt an even stronger energy of love as if she was sending it to me.
522
Even as this evolved version of myself, I realized I had never felt anything like that before.
523
The feelings of wholeness and love amplified exponentially.
524
And I thought to myself, Wow!
525
Is there even more love than the love I was just experiencing moments ago?
526
It wasn't at all a romantic love It was more of that exhilarating, electrifying energy And it was being awakened from inside of me I knew she was acknowledging
527
that there was indeed Even more love within me to experience
528
I also knew she was more evolved than I was
529
When I felt that electricity It carried a message to look toward the kitchen window
530
And I instantly remembered why I was there I turned and looked into the kitchen Where my present self, a few hours before I went to the couch to relax Was busy washing dishes
531
From the backyard I smiled I was so in love with him I saw his sincerity
532
I saw his struggles I saw his passion I saw his
533
love I saw his mind busy As always Constantly attempting to dovetail concepts into meaning
534
And among other things I saw some of his future Like a great parent I was proud of him
535
And I had nothing but admiration for who he was in
536
that moment As I was feeling that intense energy increase inside of me
537
while I observed him I witnessed him suddenly stop washing the dishes and look out the window, staring out and panning the backyard.
538
While I was still my future self, I was able to remember the moment as my present self, and I remembered that I had indeed stopped and looked outside in
539
that instant because I felt a spontaneous feeling of love in my chest, and I sensed that I was being watched or that someone was outside.
540
I further recalled that while I was washing a glass, I actually leaned forward to minimize the glaze in the window from the kitchen light above me
541
and peered into the darkness for a few minutes before returning to the remaining items in the sink.
542
My future self was doing to my present self What the beautiful luminous lady had done to me moments before
543
Now I understood why she was there And like looking at the child in the previous scene Once again,
544
the love that my future self was feeling for my present self Somehow connected me to my future self
545
My future me was there to call my present self to
546
that future And I knew that it was love that made that bond possible
547
The evolved version of me had such a sense of knowing
548
The paradox is that it is all me living at the same time In fact, there is an infinite number of me's Not just the one in the past, the one in the present, and the one in the future There are
549
so many more possible me's in the realm of infinity And there is not just one infinity, but multiple infinities And all of this is happening in the eternal now
550
When I came back to physical reality as we know it on the couch
551
Which paled in comparison to the other dimensional world I was just in My first thought was, wow my view of reality is so limited.
552
The rich inner experience provided such a sense of clarity and the understanding that my beliefs, that is what I thought I knew about life,
553
God, myself, time, space, and what is even possible to experience in this infinite realm, was so very limited and I hadn't even realized it until that moment.
554
I knew I was like an infant with little comprehension of the magnitude of how big this thing we call reality is.
555
I understood without fear or anxiety what the phrase, the unknown, meant for the first time in my life.
556
And I knew I would never be the same person again.
557
I'm sure you can imagine that when something like this happens, trying to explain it to your family or friends suggests some chemical imbalance in the brain.
558
I was hesitant to talk about the event to anyone because I didn't even have the words to describe the experience, and I didn't want to jinx it from happening again.
559
For months, I was very preoccupied with reviewing the entire process that I thought may have created the experience.
560
I was also mystified about the concept of time and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
561
Aside from the paradigm shift about the eternal moment in time, I discovered something more.
562
I realized after the transcendental event that night, when I came back to the world of three dimensions, that the whole experience had transpired in about 10 minutes.
563
I had just lived two extensive events and it should have taken much more time for the entire experience to unfold.
564
This time dilation further piqued my interest in committing more of my energy to investigating what had happened to me.
565
Once I understood more, I hoped I might be able to reproduce the experience.
566
For days after that important night, the center of my chest was electric in the same way I had felt
567
when the beautiful tiny woman activated something within me.
568
I kept thinking, how can this feeling still be lingering inside of me unless something real happened?
569
When I put my attention on the center of my chest, I noticed the feeling amplify.
570
Understandably, I wasn't very interested in any social interaction during this period
571
because the people and conditions in the outer world distracted from that feeling in my inner world and the special feeling diminished.
572
In time, it finally faded completely, but I never stopped thinking about the idea
573
that there is always more love to experience and that the energy I had embraced in that realm still lived within me.
574
I wanted to activate it again, but I didn't know how.
575
For a long time, even though I tried and tried to reproduce the experience, nothing happened.
576
I now realize that the expectation of the same outcome, combined with the frustration of trying to force it to happen, is the worst combination for creating another mystical experience,
577
or anything for that matter.
578
I became lost in my own personal analysis, trying to figure out how it occurred and how I could make it happen again.
579
I decided to add a few new approaches.
580
Instead of trying to recreate the experience in the evening, I decided to wake up early in the morning and meditate.
581
Since melatonin levels are the highest between 1am and 4am, The mystical chemical metabolites of melatonin are the very substrates responsible for creating a lucid event.
582
I decided I would practice my inner work at four every morning.
583
Before I share what happened next, I want to ask you to keep in mind that this was an unusually difficult time in my life.
584
I was deciding whether it was worth it for me to continue to teach.
585
I'd experienced a fair amount of chaos in my life after appearing in the 2004 documentary What the Bleak Do We Know?
586
I was considering stepping away from the public world and disappearing into a simpler life.
587
It seems so much easier just to walk away.
588
Living a Past Incarnation in the Present Moment
589
One morning about an hour and a half after I started my meditation in a seated position, I finally reclined.
590
I put some pillows under my knees so I wouldn't fall asleep too quickly, allowing me to linger between wakefulness and sleep.
591
As I lay down, I simply put my attention in the place the pineal gland occupies in my head.
592
But this time, instead of trying to make something happen, I just let go and said to myself, whatever.
593
Apparently, that was the magic word.
594
I know what that means now.
595
I surrendered, got out of the way, let go of any specific outcome, and simply opened up to possibility.
596
The next thing I knew, I was experiencing myself as a stout man in a very hot region of the world
597
that seemed to be what we now call Greece or Turkey.
598
The terrain was rocky, the ground was parched
599
And stone buildings like those in Greco-Roman times Were interspersed with many small tents made of brightly coloured fabrics
600
I was wearing a one-piece skirted burlap garment That fell from my shoulders to my mid-thighs
601
And I had a thick rope tied around my waist like a belt
602
I wore sandals roped up to my calves I had thick curly hair and my body felt strong
603
My shoulders were broad and my arms and legs were muscular
604
I was a philosopher and a long-time student of some charismatic movement.
605
I was simultaneously the self in that experience, and my present self observing me in that particular time and space.
606
Again, I was way more conscious than normal.
607
I was super conscious.
608
All my senses were heightened, and I was very aware of everything.
609
I could smell the familiar musk of my body and could taste the salt of my perspiration dripping from my face.
610
I loved the taste.
611
I felt grounded in the physicality and strength of my body.
612
I was aware of deep pain in my right shoulder, but it did not consume my attention.
613
I saw the brightness of the blue sky and the richness of the green trees and mountains, as if I were living in technicolor.
614
I heard seagulls in the distance, and I knew I was near a large body of water.
615
I was on a pilgrimage and mission of sorts.
616
I was traveling about the country teaching the philosophy that I had studied and lived by my whole life.
617
I was under the tutelage of a grand master whom I loved very deeply because of the care, patience, and wisdom he had given me for so many years.
618
It was my time now to be initiated
619
and to deliver a message to change the minds
620
and hearts of the culture I knew
621
that the message I was disseminating was counter to the current beliefs of
622
that time And that the government
623
and religious orders of the day would challenge me The main
624
message of the philosophy I studied would free people from living in any type of obligation to something
625
or someone outside of them It would also inspire individuals to demonstrate a code of principles
626
that would empower them to have more enriched and meaningful lives I was passionate about this idealism, and I worked daily to live in alignment with the doctrines.
627
Of course, the message would omit the need for religion and for any dependence on governments, and it would free people from personal pain and suffering.
628
As the scene came to life, I had just finished addressing a crowd in a relatively populated village.
629
The gathering was just breaking up when suddenly, several men quickly moved through the masses to arrest me.
630
Before I could even try to escape, I was seized.
631
I knew that they had planned their strategy well.
632
If they had begun to move about while I had been talking to the crowd, I would have spotted them.
633
They timed it perfectly.
634
I surrendered without resistance, and they took me to a prison cell where I was left alone.
635
Locked in a small stone cube with narrow slits for windows, I sat there knowing my destiny.
636
Nothing I could do would prepare me for what was about to happen.
637
Within two days, I was taken to the center of the city where hundreds of people gathered, many of them the same people who had listened to me speak just a few days earlier.
638
But now they eagerly anticipated the chance to watch my trial and impending torture.
639
I was stripped to a small cloth undergarment
640
and then strapped to a large horizontal stone slab with large grooves notched into the corners through which ropes led.
641
The ropes had metal cuffs on the ends that were fastened to my wrists and ankles.
642
Then it began.
643
A man standing to my left started to crank a lever
644
that moved the slab slowly from a horizontal position forward to a more vertical position.
645
As the stone block moved upward, the ropes pulled my limbs tighter in all four directions.
646
When I made it to about 45 degrees, the real pain began.
647
Someone who seemed to be a magistrate yelled out, asking me if I would continue teaching my philosophy.
648
I did not look up or answer.
649
He then ordered the man to crank the lever further.
650
At a certain point, I started to hear audible noises and pops, evidence of my spine dislocating in certain areas.
651
As the observer of this scene, I watched the look on my face as the pain increased.
652
It was like looking into a mirror and seeing myself.
653
I became acutely aware that it was me on that slab.
654
The metal cuffs around my wrists and ankles now tore into my skin, and the sharp metal burned.
655
I was bleeding.
656
One of my shoulders dislocated, and I heaved and grunted in pain.
657
My body was convulsing
658
and shaking as I tried to resist the tearing of my limbs by flexing and holding my muscles tight in resistance.
659
Letting go would have been unbearable.
660
Suddenly, the magistrate hollered out again, asking me if I would continue to teach.
661
I had a thought.
662
I will agree to stop teaching, and then when they let me down from this public display of torture, I will simply start again.
663
I reasoned that this was the right answer.
664
It would appease the magistrate and stop the pain and my death, while enabling me to continue my mission.
665
I slowly shook my head from side to side in silence.
666
Then the magistrate pressed me to verbally say no. but I would not speak.
667
He then motioned quickly to the tormentor on my left to push the crank even harder.
668
I looked down at the man as he turned the gears with a clear intention to hurt me.
669
I saw his face and as we looked into each other's eyes, I as the observer instantly recognized this person as someone in my present life as Joe Dispenza.
670
The same person, but in a different body.
671
Something clicked within me as I witnessed this scene.
672
I recognized that this tormentor is still tormenting others, including me, in my current incarnation, and I understand that person's role in my life.
673
It was an odd familiar feeling or knowing, and it made perfect sense.
674
As the slab accelerated upward, my lower back snapped and my body started to lose control.
675
That was the moment that broke me.
676
I wept from the blinding pain and also felt such a deep sadness consume my whole being.
677
When the weight of the heavy stone was released, it fell quickly back to the horizontal position.
678
I lay there quivering, uncontrollably, in silence.
679
I was then dragged back to the small prison cell where I lay curled up in the corner.
680
For three days I couldn't stop the flashbacks of my torture.
681
I was so humiliated that I never could speak in public again.
682
The very thought of returning to my mission created such a visceral response in my body
683
that I stopped even thinking about it.
684
One night they released me, and without being noticed, head down in utter shame, I disappeared.
685
I was unable to look anyone in the eye ever again.
686
I felt like I had failed in my mission.
687
I spent the rest of my life in a cave by the sea, trapping fish and living in silence as a hermit.
688
As I witnessed this poor man's plight and his choice to hide from the world, I understood that this was a message for me.
689
I knew that in my present life I could not disappear or hide from the world again, and that my soul wanted me to see that I had to continue my work.
690
I had to make the effort to stand up for a message and never again retract from adversity.
691
I also recognized that I hadn't failed at all.
692
I had done my best.
693
I knew that the young philosopher still lived in the eternal present moment as a myriad of possible me's, and that I could change my future,
694
and his, by never again being afraid to live for the truth instead of dying for it.
695
Each of us has myriad possible incarnations that exist in the eternal present moment, all waiting to be discovered.
696
When the mystery of the self is unveiled, we can wake up to the understanding that we are not linear beings living a linear life, but instead dimensional beings living dimensional lives.
697
The beauty behind the infinite probabilities that await us is
698
that the only way we can change those futures is to change ourselves in the present infinite moment.
