I use the word resistance here,
as I have several times in Part II of this book. Thoughts such as the
following are actually a form of resistance to having your intentions
manifest: This stuff isn’t practical. I can’t just materialize my ideal person
by my thoughts. Why should I be treated any better than all of those others
who are still waiting for Mr. Right? I tried this before, and a real idiot came
into my life. These are thoughts of resistance that you’re placing right in the
way of Source sending you someone. Resistance is lowered energy. Source
is high, creative, expansive energy. When your thoughts are low-energy
vibrations, you simply can’t attract the high-energy people you need or
desire. Even if they came rushing up to you announcing: Here I am, how
can I serve you, I’m willing and able, and carrying a sign saying I’M
YOURS, you wouldn’t recognize or believe them while you’re so busy
trying to attract more of what you can’t have and don’t deserve. Step 6: Practice being the kind of person you wish to attract. As I’ve
touched on before, if you want to be loved unconditionally, practice loving
unconditionally. If you want assistance from others, extend assistance
whenever and wherever you have the opportunity. If you’d like to be the
recipient of generosity, then be as generous as you can, as frequently as youcan. This is one of the simplest and most effective ways of attracting the
power of intention. Match up with the forthcomingness of the universal
mind from which everyone and everything originates while extending it
outward, and you’ll attract back to yourself all that you intend to manifest. Step 7: Detach from the outcome, and practice infinite patience. This
is the crucial step of faith. Don’t make the mistake of evaluating your
intentions as successes or failures on the basis of your little ego and its time
schedule. Put out your intention, and practice everything that’s written in
this chapter and in this book . . . and then let go. Create a knowing within,
and let the universal mind of intention handle the details. Step 8: Practice meditation, particularly the Japa meditation, to
attract ideal people and divine relationships. Practice the repetition of the
sound that is in the name of God as a mantra, literally seeing in your mind’s
eye the energy you’re radiating, bringing the people you desire into your
life. You will be astounded at the results. I’ve provided examples
throughout this book of how the practice of Japa meditation has helped
people manifest their dreams, almost like magic. Step 9: Look upon everyone who has ever played any role in your life
as having been sent to you for your benefit. In a universe peopled by a
creative, divine, organizing intelligence, which I’m calling the power of
intention, there are simply no accidents. The wake of your life is like the
wake of a boat. It’s nothing more than the trail that’s left behind. The wake
doesn’t drive the boat. The wake is not driving your life. Everything and
everyone in your personal history had to be there when they were. And
what’s the evidence for this? They were there! That’s all you need to know. Don’t use what transpired in the wake, or the wrong people who showed up
in your wake, as a reason why you can’t attract the right people today. It’s
your past . . . nothing more than a trail you’ve left behind. Step 10: As always, remain in a state of eternal gratitude. Even be
grateful for those whose presence may have caused you pain and suffering. Be thankful to your Source for sending them, and to yourself for attracting
them to you. They all had something to teach you. Now be grateful for
everyone God sends to your path, and know as a co-creator that it’s up to
you to either resonate with the high, loving energy of intention and keep
those like-energized people in your life, or to give them a silent blessing
and a pleasant no thank you. And the emphasis is on the thank you, for that
is true gratitude in action. In Lynne McTaggart’s fabulous book The Field: The Quest for the Secret
Force of the Universe, she offers us this scientific perspective on what I’ve
written in this chapter: “Our natural state of being is a relationship, a tango,
a constant state of one influencing the other. Just as the subatomic particles
that compose us cannot be separated from the space and particles
surrounding them, so living beings cannot be isolated from each other. . . . By the act of observation and intention, we have the ability to extend a kind
of super-radiance to the world.” [Emphasis mine]
Through relationships with others and by using the power of intention,
we can radiate outward all of the energy necessary to attract what we desire. I urge you to move into this awareness now and know in your heart, just as
the farmer in Field of Dreams knew, that if you build this inner dream,
surely, it will come! OceanofPDF.comIT IS MY INTENTION TO: 
OPTIMIZE MY CAPACITY 
TO HEAL AND 
BE HEALED
“No one can ask another to be healed. But he can let himself be healed, and
thus offer the other what he has received. Who can bestow upon another
what he does not have? And who can share what he denies himself?”
 
— A Course in Miracles
Every single person on the planet has within them the potential to be a
healer. In order to make conscious contact with your inherent healing
powers, you must first make the decision to be healed yourself. As A
Course in Miracles reminds us: “Those who are healed become the
instruments of healing,” and “The only way to heal is to be healed.” Thus,
there’s a twofold advantage in this intention to be healed. Once you’ve
accepted your power to heal yourself and optimize your health, you become
someone who’s capable of healing others as well. One of the many fascinating observations that David Hawkins made in
his book Power vs. Force is the relationship between a person’s calibrated
level of energy and their capacity to heal. People who calibrated above 600
on his map of consciousness scale (which is an exceptionally high-energyscore indicating illumination and supreme enlightenment) radiated healing
energy. Disease, as we know it, can’t exist in the presence of such high
spiritual energy. This explains the miraculous healing powers of Jesus of
Nazareth, St. Francis of Assisi, and Ramana Maharshi. Their exceptionally
high energy is sufficient to counterbalance disease. As you read this, keep in mind that you too emanated from the highest
spiritual loving energy field of intention, and you have within you this
capacity. In order to fulfill the intention of this chapter, you must, as Gandhi
states in the quotation above, “be the change that you wish to see in others.”
You must focus on healing yourself so you’ll have this healing ability to
offer others. If you reach a level of blissful illumination where you’re
reconnected to Source and are harmonized vibrationally, you’ll begin to
radiate the energy that converts disease to health. In St. Francis’s powerful prayer, he asks of his Source, “Where there is
injury, let me sow pardon,” meaning, allow me to be a person who gives
others healing energy. This principle has been repeated throughout the
pages of this book: Bring higher/spiritual energy to the presence of
lower/diseased energy, and it not only nullifies the lower energy, but
converts it to healthy spiritual energy. In the field of energy medicine where
these principles are being applied, tumors are bombarded with exceptionally
high-laser energy that dissolves and converts them to healthy tissue. Energy
medicine is the discipline of the future, and relies on the ancient spiritual
practice of being the change, or healing others by first healing ourselves. Becoming the Healing
Reconnect to the disease-free loving perfection from which you came is a
succinct statement of what the self-healing process requires. The universal
mind of intention knows precisely what you need in order to optimize your
health. What you must do is notice your thoughts and behaviors, which are
creating resistance, and interfering with healing, which is the flow of
intentional energy. Recognizing your resistance is something that’s entirely
up to you. You must dedicate yourself to this awareness so that you can
make a shift to pure healing intention.While I was on the treadmill at the gym yesterday, I talked to a gentleman
for five minutes, and in that brief span of time, he regaled me with a
laundry list of ailments, surgeries, heart procedures, diseases, and projected
joint replacements—all in five minutes! This was his calling card. Those
thoughts and recapitulations of bodily afflictions are resistance to the
healing energy that’s available. As I talked to the complaining man on the treadmill, I attempted to get
him to shift even momentarily away from his resistance to receiving healing
energy. But he was absolutely determined to wallow in his disabilities,
wearing them as a badge of honor, arguing vehemently for his limitations. He seemed to cherish and cling to his self-loathing for his deteriorating
body. I attempted to surround him with light and sent him a silent blessing,
congratulating him for doing a treadmill exercise as I moved on to my own
workout. But I was struck by how much of this man’s inner focus was on
disorder, disharmony, and disease as he related to his own body. Reading about the role of thoughts in reports of spontaneous recovery
from irreversible and incurable disease is fascinating. Dr. Hawkins, writing
in Power vs. Force, offers us this wisdom: “In every studied case of
recovery from hopeless and untreatable disease, there has been a major shift
in consciousness, so that the attractor patterns that resulted in the pathologic
process no longer dominated.” Every case! Imagine that. And look at that
term attractor patterns:We attract into our lives through our level of
consciousness, and we can change what we attract. This is a very powerful
idea and the basis for accessing the power of intention not only in healing,
but in every area where we have desires, aspirations, and individual
intentions. Hawkins goes on to say that “in spontaneous recovery, there is
frequently a marked increase in the capacity to love and the awareness of
the importance of love as a healing factor.”
Your intention in this chapter is facilitated by looking at the larger
objective of returning to your Source, and vibrating more in harmony with
the energy of the power of intention. That Source is never focused on
what’s wrong, what’s missing, or what’s sickly. True healing takes you back
to the Source. Anything short of this connection is a temporary fix. When
you clean up the connecting link to your Source, attractor patterns ofenergy are drawn to you. If you don’t believe that this is possible, then
you’ve created resistance to your intention to heal and be healed. If you
believe that it is possible, but not for you, then you have more resistance. If
you believe you’re being punished by the absence of health, that’s also
resistance. These inner thoughts about your ability to be healed play a
dominant role in your physical experience. Becoming a healer by healing oneself involves another one of those
imaginary somersaults into the inconceivable, wherein you land upright and
balanced in your thoughts, face-to-face with your Source. You realize,
perhaps for the first time, that you and your Source are one when you let go
of the ego-mind, which has convinced you that you’re separate from the
power of intention. Healing others by healing yourself. In Lynne McTaggart’s book The
Field, which I’ve mentioned previously, the author has taken the time and
trouble to report the hard scientific research conducted around the world in
the past 20 years regarding this field I’m calling intention. In a chapter that
is relevant here, called “The Healing Field,” McTaggart describes a number
of research studies. Here are just five of the intriguing conclusions that
researchers have come to concerning intention and healing. I present these
to you to stimulate an awareness of your potential for healing the physical
body you’ve opted for in this lifetime, as well as the corollary capacity to
offer healing to others. (I haven’t reiterated the obvious need for a healthy
diet and a sensible exercise routine, which I’m assuming you’re aware of
and practicing. Bookstores now have entire sections on healthy alternatives
for this purpose.) Five Conclusions about Healing from the 
World of Hard Research
1. Healing through intention is available to
ordinary people, and healers may be more experienced or
naturally talented in tapping in to the field. There’s physical
evidence that those who are capable of healing through
intention have a greater coherence and a greater ability tomarshal quantum energy and transfer it to those in need of
healing. I interpret this scientific evidence to mean that
deciding to focus life energy on being in coherence with the
power of intention gives you the capacity to heal yourself and
others. This means essentially abandoning the fear that
permeates your consciousness. And it also means recognizing
the fear-based energy promoted by much of the health-care
industry. The field of intention has no fear in it. Any disease
process is evidence that something is amiss. Any fear
associated with the disease process is further evidence that
something is amiss in the working of the mind. Health and
peace are the natural state when that which prevents them is
removed. Research shows that healing through intention,
which is actually healing through connecting to the field of
intention, is possible for everyone. 2. Most authentic healers claim to have put out
their intention and then stepped back and surrendered to
some other kind of healing force, as though they were
opening a door and allowing something greater in. The most
effective healers ask for assistance from the universal Source,
knowing that their job is to be uplifting and allow the Source
of healing to flow. Healers know that the body is the hero, and
the life force itself is what does the healing. By removing ego
and allowing that force to flow freely, healing is facilitated. Medically trained professionals often do the opposite of
allowing and uplifting. They frequently convey the message
that the medicine does the healing, and communicate disbelief
in anything other than their prescribed procedures. Patients
often feel anything but uplifted and hopeful, and diagnosis and
prognosis are usually fear based and excessively pessimistic to
avoid legal proceedings. Tell them the worst and hope for the
best is often the medical operating philosophy.The ability to heal yourself seems to be available to those
who have an intuitive knowing about the power of the Spirit. The healing inner speech has to do with relaxing, removing
thoughts of resistance, and allowing the spirit of light and love
to flow. A powerful healer from the island of Fiji once told me
about the efficacy of the native healers. He said, “When a
knowing confronts a belief in a disease process, the knowing
will always triumph.” A knowing is faith in the power of
intention. A knowing also involves an awareness of always
being connected to this Source. And finally, a knowing means
getting one’s ego out of the way and surrendering to the
omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient Source, the power of
intention, which is the source of all, including all healing. 3. It didn’t seem to matter what method was used,
so long as the healer held an intention for a patient to heal. Healers relied upon profoundly different techniques, including
a Christian image, a kabbalist energy pattern, a Native
American spirit, a totem, a statue of a saint, and incantations
and chants to a healing spirit. As long as the healer held firm to
an intention and had a knowing beyond any and all doubts that
he could touch the patient with the spirit of intention, the
healing was effective as measured by scientific validation. It’s crucial for you to hold an absolute intention for yourself
to heal, regardless of what goes on around you, or what others
might offer you in the way of discouragement or “getting real.”
Your intention is strong because it isn’t ego’s intention, but a
match-up with the universal Source. It’s God-realization at
work in your approach to healing and being healed. As an infinite being, you know that your own death, and the
death of everyone else, is programmed in the energy field from
which you emanated. Just as all of your physical characteristics
were determined by that future pull, so, too, is your death. So
let go of fear of your death, and decide to hold the same
intention that intended you here from the world offormlessness. You came from a natural state of well-being, and
you intend to be there in your mind, regardless of what
transpires in and around your body. Hold that intention for
yourself until you leave this body, and hold that same invisible
intention for others. This is the one quality that all healers
shared. I encourage you to emphasize it, too, right here, right
now, and don’t let anyone or any prognosis deter you from it. 4. Research suggests that intention on its own
heals, but that healing is a collective memory of a healing
spirit, which can be gathered as a medicinal force. Healing
itself may in fact be a force that’s available to all of
humankind. It’s the universal mind of intention. Further,
research suggests that individuals and groups of individuals
can gather this collective memory and apply it to themselves
and to those who suffer with epidemic diseases as well. Since
we’re all connected to intention, we all share the same life
force, and we all emanated from the same universal mind of
God, it’s not so far-fetched to assume that by tapping in to this
energy field, we can gather healing energy and spread it to all
who enter our enlightened spheres. This would explain the
enormous collective healing power of saints, and make the
case for each of us holding the intention to eradicate such
things as AIDS, smallpox, worldwide influenzas, and even the
cancer epidemic we live with today. When illness is viewed in isolation, it’s disconnected from
the collective health of the universal field. Several studies
report that the AIDS virus seems to feed on fear, the kind of
fear that’s experienced when a person is shunned or isolated
from the community. Studies on heart patients reveal that those
who felt isolated from their family, their community, and
especially their spirituality, were more susceptible to disease. Studies on longevity show that those who live longer have a
strong spiritual belief and a sense of belonging to a community. The capacity to heal collectively is one of the powerfulbenefits that’s available when you raise your energy level and
connect to the faces of intention. 5. The most important treatment any healer can
offer is hope for the health and well-being of those who
suffer disease or trauma. Healers do a self-analysis of what’s
present in their consciousness before they focus on someone in
need of healing. The key word here is hope. The presence of
hope conveyed boils down to faith. I would also call it
knowing, a knowing that connection to one’s Source is a
connection to the source of all healing. When we live this way,
we always see hope. We know that miracles are always a
possibility. Staying in that mind-set, fear and doubt are
banished from the landscape. If you give up hope, you change
the energy level of your life to vibrate at fear and doubt levels. Yet we know that the all-creating Source of intention knows no
fear or doubt. My favorite quote from Michelangelo is on the value of
hope: “The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is
too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”
Just imagine—the intention of healers and the hopes they have
for themselves and others may be even more important than
the medicine being offered. The simple thought of dislike
toward another impedes the potential for healing. Lack of faith
in the power of Spirit to heal plays a deleterious role in the
healing process. Any low-energy thoughts you have undermine
your ability to heal yourself. All five of these research-backed
conclusions lead us to an awareness of the importance of
shifting our focus and connecting to the all-healing field of
intention and harmonizing with it. From Thoughts of Sickness to 
Intentions of WellnessYou’re probably familiar with the phrase “And God intended, ‘Let there
be light!’ and there was light,” from the Old Testament. If you look in an
English-Hebrew dictionary, you’ll find that the English translation of the
Hebrew can be read as: “And god intended . . .” The decision to create is
the decision to intend. To create healing, you can’t have thoughts of illness
and anticipate your body falling victim to disease. Become aware of the
thoughts you have that support the idea of sickness as something to be
expected. Begin noticing the frequency of those thoughts. The more they
occupy your mental landscape, the more resistance you’re creating to
realizing your intention. You know what those thoughts of resistance sound like: I can’t do
anything about this arthritis. It’s the flu season. I feel okay now, but by the
weekend, it will be in my chest and I’ll have a fever. We live in a
carcinogenic world. Everything is either fattening or filled with chemicals. I
feel so tired all the time. On and on they go. They’re like huge barricades
blocking the realization of your intention. Notice the thoughts that represent
a decision on your part to buy into the illness mentality of the huge profit-
making drug companies and a health-care industry that thrives on your
fears. But you’re the divine, remember? You’re a piece of the universal mind of
intention, and you don’t have to think in these ways. You can opt to think
that you have the ability to raise your energy level, even if all of the
advertising around you points to a different conclusion. You can go within
and hold an intention that says: I want to feel good, I intend to feel good, I
intend to return to my Source, and I refuse to allow any other thoughts of
disorder or disease in. This is the beginning. You’ll feel empowered by this
unique experience. Then in any given moment of not feeling well, choose
thoughts of healing and feeling good. In that instant, feeling good takes
over, if only for a few seconds. When you refuse to live in low energy, and you work moment by moment
to introduce thoughts that support your intention, you’ve effectively decided
that wellness is your choice and that being a healer is a part of that decision. At this time, wheels of creation are set in motion, and what you’veimagined and created in your mind begins to take form in your everyday
life. Give it a shot the next time you’re low-energy thinking of any kind. Just
note how quickly you can change how you feel by refusing to think
thoughts that are out of harmony with your Source of intention. It works for
me, and I encourage you to do so as well. I simply will not think any longer
that I must be a victim of illness or disability, and I will not spend the
precious moments of my life discussing illness. I am a healer. I heal myself
by co-creating health with God, and I give this gift to others as well. This is
my intention. Illness Is Not a Punishment
Illness became a component of the human condition when we separated
ourselves from the perfect health from which we were intended. Rather than
attempting to intellectualize reasons why people get sick and come up with
a rationale for understanding illness, I encourage you to think of yourself as
having the potential to become a master healer. Try visualizing all of human
illness from the perspective of something that the human race has
collectively brought upon itself by identifying with the ego rather than
staying with the divinity from which we emanated. Out of this collective
ego identification, we brought about all that goes with the ego problems—
fear, hate, despair, anxiety, depression—all of it. The ego feeds on these
emotions because it’s insistent on its own identity as a separate entity apart
from this God-force that intended us here. In one way or another, virtually
every single member of the human race bought into this idea of separation
and ego identification. Consequently, illness, disease, sickness, and the need
for healing simply come with the territory of being human. However, you needn’t feel stuck there. The power of intention is about
returning to the Source of perfection. It’s about knowing that the power to
heal is all wrapped up in making that divine connection, and that the Source
of all life does not punish, offering karmic paybacks through suffering and
hardship. You don’t have a need for healing because you were bad or
ignorant, or as retribution for past-life offenses. You’ve taken on whatever
you’re experiencing for whatever lessons you need to learn on this journey,which is being orchestrated by the all-providing intelligence that we’re
calling intention. In an eternal universe, you must view yourself and all others in infinite
terms. Infinite terms mean that you have an infinite number of opportunities
to show up in a material body to co-create anything. As you view the
sickness of the mind and body that permeates your own life as well as the
rest of humanity, try viewing it as part of the infinite nature of our world. If
starvation, pestilence, or disease are a part of the perfection of the universe,
then so is your intention to end these things a part of that same perfection. Now decide to stay with that intention—first in your own life, then in the
lives of others. Your intention will match up with the intention of the
universe, which knows nothing of egos and separation, and all thoughts of
illness as punishment and karmic paybacks will cease to exist. Making Your Intention Your Reality
Below is my ten-step plan for implementing the intention of this chapter
to optimize your capacity to heal and be healed:
 
Step l: You can’t heal anyone until you allow yourself to be healed. Work in a collaborative effort with your Source to create a sense of your
own healing. Put all of your focused energy on knowing that you can be
healed of physical or emotional disruptions to your perfect health. Connect
to a loving, kind, receptive-to-healing energy, which is the field that
intended you here. Be willing to accept the fact that you’re a part of the
healing energy of all of life. The same force that heals a cut on your hand
and grows the new skin to repair it permanently is both in your hand and in
the universe as well. You are it, it is you; there’s no separation. Be
conscious of staying in contact with this healing energy, because it’s
impossible to separate from it except in your ego-diminished thoughts. Step 2: The healing energy that you’re connected to at all times is
what you have to give away to others. Offer this energy freely, and keep
your ego entirely out of the healing process. Remember how St. Francisresponded when asked why he didn’t heal himself of his diseases, which
would cause his death at the age of 45: “I want everyone to know that it is
God who does this healing.” St. Francis was healed of ego domination, and
he deliberately held on to his infirmities to teach others that it was God’s
energy working through him that provided the energy for all of his
miraculous healings. Step 3: By raising your energy to a vibrational match with the field
of intention, you’re strengthening your immune system and increasing
the production of well-being enzymes in the brain. A change in
personality from being spiteful, pessimistic, angry, sullen, and disagreeable
to one of passion, optimism, kindness, joy, and understanding is often the
key when witnessing miraculous acts of spontaneous recovery from
fatalistic prognostications. Step 4: Practice surrender! Let go and let God is a great theme in the
recovery movement. It’s also a wonderful reminder in the world of healing. By surrendering, you’re able to have reverence for, and commune with, the
Source of all healing. Remember that the field of intention doesn’t know
anything about healing per se,because it’s spiritual perfection already, and it
creates from that perspective. It’s ego consciousness that creates the
disorder, disharmony, and diseases of our world, and it is in returning to that
spiritual perfection that harmony of body, mind, and spirit are realized. When this balance or symmetry is restored, we call it healing, but the
Source knows nothing of healing because it creates only perfect health. It’s
to this perfect health that you must surrender. Step 5: Don’t ask to be healed, ask to be restored to that perfection
from which you emanated. Here’s where you want to hold an intention for
yourself and for others in an unbending, nonnegotiable way. Let nothing
interfere with the intention you have to heal and be healed. Discard all
negativity that you encounter. Refuse to let in any energy that will weaken
your body or your resolve. Convey this to others as well. Remember, you’re
not asking your Source to heal you, because this assumes health is missingfrom your life. It assumes scarcity, but the Source can only recognize and
respond to what it is already, and you too are a component of that Source. Come to the Source as whole and complete, banish all thoughts of illness,
and know that by connecting back to this Source—filling yourself with it
and offering it to others—you become healing itself. Step 6: Know that you are adored. Look for reasons to praise and feel
good. In the moment in which you’re experiencing thoughts that make you
feel sick or bad, do your best to change them to thoughts that support your
feeling good, and if that seems impossible, then do your very best to say
nothing at all. Refuse to talk about disease, and work to activate thoughts
that predict recovery, feeling good, and perfect health. Picture yourself as
healthy and free of disability. Be on the lookout for the opportunity to
literally say to yourself, I feel good. I intend to attract more of this good
feeling, and I intend to give it away to any and all in need of it. Step 7: Seek out and cherish the silence. Many people who have
suffered with long-term illnesses have been able to return to their Source
through the channel of nature and contemplative silence. Spend time in
quiet meditation visualizing yourself coupled with the perfectly healthy
field of intention. Commune with this Source of all that is good, all that is
well, and practice accessing this high spiritual energy, bathing your entire
being in this light. Meditation is always healing for me. When I’m fatigued, a few moments
in silence accessing higher, loving, kind vibrations energizes me. When I
feel out of sorts, a few moments in quietude making conscious contact with
God provides me with all that I need to not only feel good, but to help
others do the same. I always remember Herman Melville’s timely words:
“Silence is the only Voice of our God.”
Here’s an excerpt from a letter written to me by Darby Hebert, who now
lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. For more than two decades, she struggled
with feeling used as well as watching her own physical conditiondeteriorate. She opted for nature, silence, and meditation. I repeat her words
(with her permission) below:
For a year I lived out of boxes in an empty house. Then, to
remove myself from this negative energy field and the scorn of
people who were sitting in judgment, I moved 2,000 miles away
to Jackson Hole. The magnificence, grandeur, and peace of this
sacred, enchanted place began to work its magic immediately. I
have lived in silence for almost two years. Meditation and
appreciation have become my way of life. Leaving low energy,
and moving into high energy, with your help, has worked
miracles. I have moved from hemorrhaging eyes, internal
lesions, aseptic meningitis, and severe muscle pain to a health
that includes all-day mountain hiking and cross-country skiing. I am slowly getting off of the dangerous drugs used to control
the diseases, and I know I can do it. You have shown me the way
to being well, and I will forever be grateful. God bless you a
thousandfold, Wayne, for following your bliss and helping
others to find theirs. I hope there will come a time when I can
express my gratitude in person. Until then, I’ll see you in the
Gap. Step 8: To be health, you must totally identify with the wholeness that
you are. You can stop seeing yourself as a physical body and immerse
yourself in the idea of absolute well-being. This can become your new
identification card. Here, you breathe only wellness, you think only perfect
health, and you detach from appearances of illness in the world. Soon you
recognize only perfection in others. You stand firm in your truth, reflecting
only thoughts of well-being, and speaking only words of the infinite
possibility for healing any and all disease processes. This is your rightful
identity of wholeness, and you live it as if you and the Source that creates
all are one and the same. This is your ultimate truth, and you can allow this
dynamic aura of wholeness to saturate and animate your every thought until
it is all that you have to give away. This is how you heal, from that inner
knowing and trust of your wholeness. Step 9: Allow health to stream into your life. Become conscious of
resistance, which interferes with the natural flow of healthy energy to you. This resistance is in the form of your thoughts. Any thought that’s out of
sync with the seven faces of intention is a resistant thought. Any thought
that says that it’s impossible to heal is a resistant thought. Any thought of
doubt or fear is a resistant thought. When you observe these thoughts, note
them carefully, and then deliberately activate thoughts that are in energetic,
vibrational balance with the all-providing Source of intention. Step 10: Stay immersed in a state of gratitude. Be grateful for every
breath you take . . . for all of your internal organs that work together in
harmony . . . for the wholeness that is your body . . . for the blood streaming
through your veins . . . for your brain that allows you to process these words
and the eyes that allow you to read them. Look in the mirror at least once
every day and give thanks for that heart that continues to beat and the
invisible force on which those heartbeats depend. Stay in gratitude. This is
the surest way to keep the connecting link to perfect health clean and pure. One of the messages of Jesus of Nazareth is apropos of all that I’ve
presented in this chapter on having a healing intention:
If you bring forth what is inside you,
what you bring forth will save you. If you don’t bring forth what is inside you,
what you don’t bring forth will destroy you. What is inside you is the power of intention. No microscope will reveal
it. You can find the command center with x-ray technology, but the
commander in the command center remains impervious to our sophisticated
probing instruments. You are that commander. You must allow yourself to
be in vibrational harmony with the greatest commander of all and bring it
forth to serve you, rather than allowing yourself to be in a state of disrepair.OceanofPDF.comIT IS MY INTENTION TO: 
APPRECIATE AND 
EXPRESS THE GENIUS 
THAT I AM
“Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.”
 
— Buckminster Fuller
Consider that all human beings have within themselves the same essence
of consciousness, and that the process of creativity and genius are attributes
of human consciousness. Therefore, genius is a potential that lives within
you and every other human being. You have many moments of genius in
your lifetime. These are the times when you have a uniquely brilliant idea
and implement it even if only you are aware of how fantastic it is. Perhaps
you created something absolutely astonishing and you even amazed
yourself. Then there are the moments when you make exactly the right shot
in a round of golf or a tennis match and you realize with immense pleasure
what you’ve just accomplished. You are a genius. You may never have thought of yourself as a person who has genius
residing within. You may have thought that genius is a word reserved for
the Mozarts, Michelangelos, Einsteins, Madame Curies, Virginia Woolfs,
Stephen Hawkings, and others whose lives and accomplishments have beenpublicized. But keep in mind that they share the same essence of
consciousness that you do. They emanated from the same power of
intention as you did. They have all shared the same life force animating
them as you do. Your genius is in your very existence, awaiting the right
circumstances to express itself. There is no such thing as luck or accidents in this purposeful universe. Not only is everything connected to everything else, but no one is excluded
from the universal Source called intention. And genius, since it’s a
characteristic of the universal Source, must be universal, which means that
it’s in no way restricted. It’s available to every single human being. It
certainly can and does show up differently in every single one of us. The
qualities of creativity and genius are within you, awaiting your decision to
match up with the power of intention. Changing Your Energy Level to Access the 
Genius Within You
In his illuminating book, Power vs. Force, David Hawkins wrote:
“Genius is by definition a style of consciousness characterized by the ability
to access high energy attractor patterns. It is not a personality characteristic. It is not something that a person has, nor even something that someone is. Those in whom we recognize genius commonly disclaim it. A universal
characteristic of genius is humility. The genius has always attributed his
insights to some higher influence.” Genius is a characteristic of the creative
force (the first of the seven faces of intention) that allows all of material
creation to come into form. It is an expression of the divine. No one who’s considered a genius—be it Sir Laurence Olivier onstage as
Hamlet; Michael Jordan gracefully gliding toward a dunk on the basketball
court; Clarence Darrow speaking to a jury; Joan of Arc inspiring a nation;
or Mrs. Fuehrer, my eighth-grade teacher making a story come alive in the
classroom—can explain where the energy to perform at those levels came
from. Sir Laurence Olivier is said to have been distraught after giving one
of the greatest stage performances of Hamlet ever seen in London. When
asked why he was so upset after the thundering ovation from the audience,
he replied (I paraphrase), “I know it was my best performance, but I don’t
know how I did it, where it came from, and if I can ever do it again.” Egoand genius are mutually exclusive. Genius is a function of surrendering to
the Source or reconnecting to it so dramatically that one’s ego is
substantially minimized. This is what Dr. Hawkins means by accessing
higher energy patterns. Higher energy is the energy of light, which is a way of describing
spiritual energy. The seven faces of intention are the ingredients of this
spiritual energy. When you shift your thoughts, emotions, and life activities
into these realms and deactivate the lower energies of the ego, the God
force within you begins to take over. It’s so automatic that it travels faster
than your thoughts. This is why your thoughts about how you did
something are so bewildering. The higher energy level actually transcends
thought, moving into vibrational harmony with the Source energy of
intention. As you release ego-dominated thoughts (which convince you that
you’re doing these amazing things and are responsible for these
unbelievable accomplishments), you tap in to the power of intention. This is
where the genius that you truly are resides. Many people never get acquainted with this inner world of their personal
genius, and think that genius is only measured in intellectual or artistic
endeavors. Genius remains in the shadows of their thoughts, unnoticed
during their occasional forays inward, and may even be padlocked and
chained! If you’ve been taught to avoid thinking too highly of yourself, and
that genius is reserved for a handful of select individuals, you probably
resist this idea. You won’t recognize your genius aspect if you’ve been
conditioned to believe that you should accept your lot in life, think small,
try to fit in with normal groups of people, and not aim too high in order to
avoid disappointment. I’d like you to consider what may seem like a radical idea: Genius can
show up in as many ways as there are human beings. Anything in any field
that anyone has ever accomplished is shared by you. You’re connected to
every being that has ever lived or ever will live, and you share the exact
same energy of intention that flowed through Archimedes, Leonardo da
Vinci, the Virgin Mother, and Jonas Salk. You can access this energy. At the
deepest level, all things and all people are composed of vibrations organizedinto fields that permeate the entire structure of the universe. You share these
vibrations, and you are in this field. The starting point is knowing and understanding that this level of
creativity and functioning called genius resides within you. Then begin to
deconstruct doubts about your role here. Make a commitment to raise your
energy levels to vibrate harmoniously with the field of intention despite
attempts by your ego and others’ egos to dissuade you. Dr. Valerie Hunt in Infinite Mind: Science of Human Vibrations of
Consciousness, reminds us: “Lower vibrations exist with material reality,
higher ones with mystical reality, and a full vibrational spectrum with
expanded reality.” To fulfill this intention of appreciating and expressing the
genius that you are, you’re going to have to strive for that full vibrational
spectrum. This is the idea of expansion, which is crucial to knowing your
true potential. It’s what you signed up for when you left the formless world
of spiritual intention. You co-created a body and a life to express that inner
genius, which you may have locked away in an almost inaccessible
chamber. Expanding Your Reality
The universal force that created you is always expanding, and your
objective is to achieve harmony with that Source and thereby regain the
power of intention. So what is it that keeps you from expanding to the
mystical reality and full vibrational spectrum that Dr. Hunt refers to? I like
this answer from William James, who is often referred to as the father of
modern psychology: “Genius means little more than the faculty of
perceiving in an unhabitual way.” To expand your reality to match the
expansiveness of the all-creating field of intention, you have to peel away
your old habits of thought. These habits have pigeonholed you to a point
where you allow labels to be attached to you. These labels define you in
many ways. Most of the labels are from other people who need to describe what you
are not, because they feel safer predicting what can’t be than what can be:
She’s never been very artistic. He’s a tad clumsy, so he won’t be an athlete. Mathematics was never her strong suit. He’s a bit shy, so he won’t be gooddealing with the public. You’ve heard these pronouncements for so long that
you believe them. They’ve become a habitual way of thinking about your
abilities and potentialities. As William James suggested, genius means
making a shift in your thinking so that you let go of those habits and open
yourself to possibilities of greatness. I’ve heard the stereotype about writers and speakers since I was a young
man. If you’re a writer, you’re introverted, and writers don’t make dynamic
speakers. I chose to shift from that programmed and stereotypical way of
thinking and decided that I could excel at anything I affirmed and intended
for myself. I chose to believe that when I came into this world of
boundaries and form, there were no restrictions on me. I was intended here
from an expansive energy field that knows nothing of limits or labels. I
decided that I’d be both an introverted writer and a dynamic extroverted
speaker. Similarly, I’ve broken through many socially imposed habitual
ways of labeling people. I can be a genius in any area if, according to the
father of modern psychology, I learn to perceive in unhabitual ways. I can
sing tender songs, write sentimental poetry, create exquisite paintings, and
at the same time in the same body, excel as an athlete in any sport, build a
fine piece of furniture, repair my automobile, wrestle with my children, and
surf in the ocean. Pay attention to yourself in ways that allow the expansion of the infinite
possibilities that you’re potentially capable of. You may decide, as I have,
that repairing an automobile and surfing in the ocean aren’t what you enjoy
doing. So leave those activities to others, and use your genius to engage in
pursuits that please and attract you. Expand your reality to the point where
you pursue what you love doing and excel at it. Involve yourself in the
high-energy levels of trust, optimism, appreciation, reverence, joy, and love. That means love for what you’re doing, love for yourself, and love for your
genius, which allows you to immerse yourself in any activity and enjoy the
process of experiencing it fully. Trusting your insights. The process of appreciating your genius involves
trusting those inner flashes of creative insight that are worthy of expression.The song you’re composing in your head. The weird storyline that you keep
dreaming about that would make a fabulous movie. The crazy idea about
combining peas and carrots in a seed and growing parrot vegetables. The
new car design you’ve always contemplated. The fashion idea that would
become the next fad. The toy that every child will yearn to have. The
musical extravaganza you’ve seen in your mind. These ideas and thousands
like them are the creative genius within you at work. These ideas in your
imagination are distributions of God taking place. They’re not from your
ego, which squashes them with fear and doubt. Your insights are divinely
inspired. Your creative mind is how your higher self vibrates harmoniously
with the field of intention, which is always creating. Banishing doubt regarding those brilliant flashes of insight will allow you
to express these ideas and begin the process of acting on them. Having the
thoughts and squelching them because you think they aren’t good enough or
they don’t merit any action is denying the connection that you have to the
power of intention. You have a connecting link to intention, but you’re
allowing it to be weakened by living at ordinary levels of ego
consciousness. Remember that you’re a piece of God, and the inner spark of
genius in your imagination—that intuitive inner voice—is really God
reminding you of your uniqueness. You’re having these inner insights
because this is precisely how you stay connected to the all-creating genius
that intended you here. As I’ve said earlier, trusting in yourself is trusting in
the wisdom that created you. Never, but never, regard any creative thought that you’re having as
anything other than a worthy potential expression of your inner genius. The
only caveat here is that these thoughts must be in vibrational harmony with
the seven faces of intention. Inner thoughts of hatred, anger, fear, despair,
and destruction simply don’t foster creative insights. The low-energy, ego-
dominated thoughts must be replaced and converted to the power of
intention. Your creative impulses are real, they’re vital, they’re worthy, and
they crave expression. The fact that you can conceive of them is proof of
this. Your thoughts are real. They’re pure energy, and they’re telling you to
pay attention and get that connecting link to the power of intention polished
through living at different levels than you’ve accepted as normal or
ordinary. At these levels, everyone is a genius. Appreciating the genius in others. Every person you interact with
should feel the inner glow that comes from being appreciated, particularly
for the ways in which they express their creativity. A core theme, which
strengthens the flow of the power of intention, is wanting for others as
much as you intend for yourself. Appreciating the genius in others attracts
high levels of competent energy to you. By seeing and celebrating the
creative genius, you open a channel within yourself for receiving the
creative energy from the field of intention. My 15-year-old son, Sands, has a unique way of riding a surfboard unlike
everyone around him in the ocean. I encourage him to do what comes
naturally and express it with pride. He also created a unique language of
communication, similar to my brother David, which others in the family
and close personal acquaintances emulate. Creating a language that others
use is the work of a genius! I tell Sands this, and my brother, too, whose
unique language I’ve spoken for over half a century. My daughter Skye has
a distinctive one-of-a-kind singing voice that I love. I tell her so, and point
out that it’s an expression of her genius. All of my children, and yours as well (including the child within you)
have unparalleled characteristics in many of the ways they express
themselves. From the way that they dress, to the little tattoo, to their
signature, to their mannerisms, to their unmatched personality quirks, you
can appreciate their genius. Notice and appreciate your genius, too. When
you’re just like everybody else, you’ve nothing to offer other than your
conformity. Take the road of seeing the face of God in everyone you encounter. Look
for something to appreciate in others, and be willing to communicate it to
them and anyone who’s willing to listen. When you see this quality in
others, you’ll soon begin to realize that this potential is available to all of
humanity. This obviously includes you. Recognizing genius in yourself is
an integral part of the dynamic. As Dr. Hawkins tells us in Power vs. Force:
“Until one acknowledges the genius within oneself, one will have great
difficulty recognizing it in others.” 
Genius and simplicity. Begin to realize the intention of this chapter by
uncomplicating your life as much as possible. Genius thrives in a
contemplative environment, where every minute isn’t filled with obligations
or hoards of people offering advice and insisting on your constant
participation in ordinary, mundane endeavors. The genius in you isn’t
seeking confirmation from others, but quiet space for its ideas to blossom. Genius isn’t as much about achieving a high IQ on a standardized test, as it
is the exceptionally high level of plain old savvy in any given field of
human endeavor. Genius-at-work may be the person who finds tinkering
with an electronic gadget for hours on end exhilarating, and also can be
entranced by puttering in the garden or observing the communication
patterns between bats on a starry night. An uncomplicated life with fewer
intrusions tolerated, in a simple setting, allows your creative genius to
surface and express itself. The simplicity establishes a link to the power of
intention, and your genius will flourish. Making Your Intention Your Reality
Below is my ten-step program for putting this intention to appreciate and
express the genius within you to work. Step 1: Declare yourself to be a genius! This shouldn’t be a public
pronouncement, but a statement of intention between you and your Creator. Remind yourself that you’re one of the masterpieces that emanated from the
universal field of intention. You don’t have to prove that you’re a genius,
nor do you need to compare any of your accomplishments to those of
others. You have a unique gift to offer this world, and you are unique in the
entire history of creation. Step 2: Make a decision to listen more carefully to your inner
insights, no matter how small or insignificant you may have previously
judged them to be. These thoughts, which you may have viewed as silly orunworthy of attention, are your private connection to the field of intention. Thoughts that seem to persist, particularly if they relate to new activities
and adventures, aren’t in your mind accidentally. Those tenacious thoughts
that don’t go away should be viewed by you as intention talking to you,
saying, You signed up to express your unique brilliance, so why do you keep
ignoring the genius in favor of settling for less? Step 3: Take constructive action toward implementing your inner
intuitive inclinations. Any step in the direction of expressing your creative
impulses is a step in the direction of actualizing the genius that resides
within you—for example, writing and submitting a book outline, regardless
of how you may have doubted yourself up until now; recording a CD of
yourself reading poetry or singing the songs you’ve written; purchasing an
easel and art paraphernalia and spending an afternoon painting; or visiting
an expert in the field that interests you. During a recent photo shoot, a photographer told me that years earlier
he’d arranged a meeting with a world-renowned photographer, and that visit
sent him on the road to doing the work that he loved. To me, this man was a
genius. Photography had always intrigued him. The early prodding in his
life that he acted on allowed him to appreciate the genius within him, then
one meeting with one man taught him to trust in that intrigue and to use it
as a means for communicating his genius to the entire world. Step 4: Know that any and all thoughts that you have regarding your
own skills, interests, and inclinations are valid. To reinforce the validity
of your thoughts, keep them private. Tell yourself that they’re between you
and God. If you keep them in the spiritual domain, you don’t have to
introduce them to your ego or expose them to the egos of those around you. This means that you’ll never have to compromise them by explaining and
defending them to others. Step 5: Remind yourself that aligning with spiritual energy is how
you will find and convey the genius within you. In Power vs. Force,
David Hawkins concluded: “From our studies it appears that the alignment
of one’s goals and values with high energy attractors is more closely
associated with genius than anything else.” This is completely in line with
understanding and implementing the power of intention. Shift your energy
to harmonize vibrationally with the energy of Source. Be an appreciator of
life, and refuse to have thoughts of hatred, anxiety, anger and judgment. Trust yourself as a piece of God and your genius will flourish. Step 6: Practice radical humility. Take no credit for your talents,
intellectual abilities, aptitudes, or proficiencies. Be in a state of awe and
bewilderment. Even as I sit here with my pen in my hand, observing how
words appear before me, I’m in a state of bewilderment. Where do these
words come from? How does my hand know how to translate my invisible
thoughts into decipherable words, sentences, and paragraphs? Where do the
thoughts come from that precede the words? Is this really Wayne Dyer
writing, or am I watching Wayne Dyer put these words on the paper? Is God
writing this book through me? Was I intended to be this messenger before I
showed up here as a baby on the 10th of May, 1940? Will these words live
beyond my lifetime? I’m bewildered by it all. I’m humble in my inability to
know where any of my accomplishments come from. Practice radical
humility, and give credit everywhere except to your ego. Step 7: Remove resistance to actualizing your genius. Resistance
always shows up in the form of your thoughts. Watch for thoughts that
convey your inability to think of yourself in genius terms . . . thoughts of
doubt about your abilities . . . or thoughts that reinforce what you’ve been
taught about a lack of talent or lack of aptitude. All of these kinds of
thoughts are a misalignment and don’t allow you to be in vibrational
harmony with the universal all-creating field of intention. Your Source
knows that you’re a genius. Any thought you have that challenges this
notion is resistance, which will inhibit you from realizing your intention. Step 8: Look for the genius in others. Pay attention to the greatness you
observe in as many people as possible, and if you don’t see it at first, then
spend some mental energy looking for it. The more you’re inclined to think
in genius terms, the more natural it becomes for you to apply the same
standards to yourself. Tell others about their genius. Be as complimentary
and authentic as you can. In doing so, you’ll radiate loving, kind, abundant,
creative energy. In a universe that operates on energy and attraction, you’ll
find these same qualities returning to you. Step 9: Simplify your life. Take the complications, rules, shoulds, musts,
have tos, and so on out of your life. By uncomplicating your life and
removing the trivial pursuits that occupy so much of it, you open a channel
for the genius within you to emerge. One of the most effective techniques
for simplifying life is to take time each day to spend 20 or so minutes in
silence and meditation. The more conscious contact you make with your
Source, the more you come to appreciate your own highest self. And it’s
from this highest self that your own genius will be manifested. Step 10: Remain humble while staying in a state of gratitude. This
genius that you are has nothing at all to do with your ego-mind. Be ever so
grateful to the Source of intention for providing you with the life force to
express the genius that resides within you. Those who attribute their
inspiration and success to their ego soon lose this capacity, or they allow the
approval and attention of others to destroy them. Remain humble and
grateful, and more of your genius will surface as you remain in a constant
state of expansion. Gratitude is a sacred space where you allow and know
that a force greater than your ego is always at work and always available. The man who inspires me every day, Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose
photograph looks back at me as I write, put it this way: “To believe your
own thoughts, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is
true for all men—that is genius.”
Take this awareness and apply it in your life. Another genius tells us just
how to do this. Thomas Edison said, “Genius is one percent inspiration, and
ninety-nine percent perspiration.” Are you sweating yet? OceanofPDF.comTHE

OceanofPDF.comA PORTRAIT  
OF A PERSON  
CONNECTED  
TO THE FIELD  
OF INTENTION
“Self-actualizing people must be what they can be.”
 
— Abraham Maslow
A person who lives in a state of unity with the Source of all life doesn’t
look any different from ordinary folks. These people don’t wear a halo or
dress in special garments that announce their godlike qualities. But when
you notice that they go through life as the lucky ones who seem to get all
the breaks, and when you begin to talk to them, you realize how distinctive
they are compared to people living at ordinary levels of awareness. Spend a
few moments in conversation with these people who are connected to the
power of intention and you see how unique they are. These people, whom I call connectors to signify their harmonious
connection with the field of intention, are individuals who have made
themselves available for success. It’s impossible to get them to bepessimistic about achieving what they desire in their lives. Rather than
using language that indicates that their desires may not materialize, they
speak from an inner conviction that communicates their profound and
simple knowing that the universal Source supplies everything. They don’t say, With my luck things won’t work out. Instead, you’re much
more likely to hear something like, I intend to create this and I know it will
work out. No matter how you might attempt to dissuade them by pointing
out all the reasons why their optimism ought to be curtailed, they seem
blissfully blind to reality-check repercussions. It’s almost as if they’re in a
different world, a world in which they can’t hear the reasons why things
won’t work out. If you engage them in conversation about this idea, they simply say
something like, I refuse to think about what can’t happen, because I’ll
attract exactly what I think about, so I only think about what I know will
happen. It doesn’t matter to them what’s happened before. They don’t relate
to the concepts of failure or it’s impossible. They simply, without fanfare,
are unaffected by reasons for being pessimistic. They’ve made themselves
available for success, and they know and trust in an invisible force that’s
all-providing. They’re so well connected to the all-providing Source that it’s
as if they have a natural aura preventing anything from getting through that
might weaken their connection to the creative energy of the power of
intention. Connectors don’t place their thoughts on what they don’t want, because,
as they’ll tell you: The Source of all can only respond with what it is, and
what it is, is infinite supply. It can’t relate to scarcity, or things not working
out, because it’s none of these things. If I say to the Source of all things, “It
probably won’t work out,” I’ll receive back from it precisely what I sent to
it, so I know better than to think anything other than what my Source is. To the average person who has fears about the future, this all sounds like
mumbo jumbo. They’ll tell their connector friend to do a reality check and
look realistically at the world they live in. But connectors aren’t distracted
from their inner knowing. They’ll tell you, if you choose to listen, that this
is a universe of energy and attraction, and that the reason so many people
live lives of fear and scarcity is because they rely on their ego to fulfill theirdesires. It’s simple, they’ll tell you. Just reconnect to your Source, and be
like your Source, and your intentions will match up perfectly with the all-
providing Source. To connectors, it all seems so simple. Keep your thoughts on what you
intend to create. Stay consistently matched up with the field of intention,
and then watch for the clues that what you’re summoning from the all-
creative Source is arriving in your life. To a connector, there are simply no
accidents. They perceive seemingly insignificant events as being
orchestrated in perfect harmony. They believe in synchronicity and aren’t
surprised when the perfect person for a situation appears, or when someone
they’ve been thinking about calls out of the blue, or when a book arrives
unexpectedly in the mail giving them the information they needed, or when
the money to finance a project they’ve been intending mysteriously shows
up. Connectors won’t attempt to win you over to their point of view with
debates. They know better than to place a lot of energy on arguing or being
frustrated, because that attracts argumentation and frustration into their
lives. They know what they know, and they aren’t seduced into constructing
a counterforce of resistance to people who live otherwise. They accept the
idea that there are no accidents in a universe that has an invisible force of
energy as its Source that continuously creates and provides an infinite
supply to all who wish to partake of it. They’ll tell you plain and simple if
you inquire: All you have to do to tap in to the power of intention is to be in
a perfect match with the Source of everything, and I’m choosing to be as
closely aligned to that Source as I can. To connectors, everything that shows up in their life is there because the
power of intention intended it there. So they’re always in a state of
gratitude. They feel thankful for everything, even things that might seem to
be obstacles. They have the ability and desire to see a temporary illness as a
blessing, and they know in their heart that somewhere an opportunity exists
in the setback, and that is what they look for in everything that shows up in
their life. Through their thanks, they honor all possibilities, rather than
asking their Source for something, because that seems to give power to
what’s missing. They commune with the Source in a state of reverentgratitude for all that’s present in their lives, knowing that this empowers
their intention to manifest precisely what they need. Connectors describe themselves as living in a state of appreciation and
bewilderment. You’re unlikely to hear them complain about anything. They
aren’t fault-finders. If it rains, they enjoy it, knowing that they won’t get
where they want to go if they only travel on sunny days. This is how they
react to all of nature, with appreciative harmony. The snow, the wind, the
sun, and the sounds of nature are all reminders to connectors that they’re a
part of the natural world. The air—regardless of its temperature or wind
velocity—is the revered air that is the breath of life. Connectors appreciate the world and everything in it. The same
connection that they experience with nature they feel toward all beings,
including those who lived before and those who have yet to arrive. They
have a consciousness of the oneness, and therefore they make no
distinctions such as them or those other people.

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        I use the word resistance here,
as I have several times in Part II of this book. Thoughts such as the
following are actually a form of resistance to having your intentions
manifest: This stuff isn’t practical. I can’t just materialize my ideal person
by my thoughts. Why should I be treated any better than all of those others
who are still waiting for Mr. Right. I tried this before, and a real idiot came
into my life. These are thoughts of resistance that you’re placing right in the
way of Source sending you someone. Resistance is lowered energy. Source
is high, creative, expansive energy. When your thoughts are low-energy
vibrations, you simply can’t attract the high-energy people you need or
desire. Even if they came rushing up to you announcing: Here I am, how
can I serve you, I’m willing and able, and carrying a sign saying I’M
YOURS, you wouldn’t recognize or believe them while you’re so busy
trying to attract more of what you can’t have and don’t deserve. Step 6: Practice being the kind of person you wish to attract. As I’ve
touched on before, if you want to be loved unconditionally, practice loving
unconditionally. If you want assistance from others, extend assistance
whenever and wherever you have the opportunity. If you’d like to be the
recipient of generosity, then be as generous as you can, as frequently as youcan. This is one of the simplest and most effective ways of attracting the
power of intention. Match up with the forthcomingness of the universal
mind from which everyone and everything originates while extending it
outward, and you’ll attract back to yourself all that you intend to manifest. Step 7: Detach from the outcome, and practice infinite patience. This
is the crucial step of faith. Don’t make the mistake of evaluating your
intentions as successes or failures on the basis of your little ego and its time
schedule. Put out your intention, and practice everything that’s written in
this chapter and in this book. and then let go. Create a knowing within,
and let the universal mind of intention handle the details. Step 8: Practice meditation, particularly the Japa meditation, to
attract ideal people and divine relationships. Practice the repetition of the
sound that is in the name of God as a mantra, literally seeing in your mind’s
eye the energy you’re radiating, bringing the people you desire into your
life. You will be astounded at the results. I’ve provided examples
throughout this book of how the practice of Japa meditation has helped
people manifest their dreams, almost like magic. Step 9: Look upon everyone who has ever played any role in your life
as having been sent to you for your benefit. In a universe peopled by a
creative, divine, organizing intelligence, which I’m calling the power of
intention, there are simply no accidents. The wake of your life is like the
wake of a boat. It’s nothing more than the trail that’s left behind. The wake
doesn’t drive the boat. The wake is not driving your life. Everything and
everyone in your personal history had to be there when they were. And
what’s the evidence for this. They were there. That’s all you need to know. Don’t use what transpired in the wake, or the wrong people who showed up
in your wake, as a reason why you can’t attract the right people today. It’s
your past. nothing more than a trail you’ve left behind. Step 10: As always, remain in a state of eternal gratitude. Even be
grateful for those whose presence may have caused you pain and suffering. Be thankful to your Source for sending them, and to yourself for attracting
them to you. They all had something to teach you. Now be grateful for
everyone God sends to your path, and know as a co-creator that it’s up to
you to either resonate with the high, loving energy of intention and keep
those like-energized people in your life, or to give them a silent blessing
and a pleasant no thank you. And the emphasis is on the thank you, for that
is true gratitude in action. In Lynne McTaggart’s fabulous book The Field: The Quest for the Secret
Force of the Universe, she offers us this scientific perspective on what I’ve
written in this chapter: “Our natural state of being is a relationship, a tango,
a constant state of one influencing the other. Just as the subatomic particles
that compose us cannot be separated from the space and particles
surrounding them, so living beings cannot be isolated from each other. By the act of observation and intention, we have the ability to extend a kind
of super-radiance to the world. ” [Emphasis mine]
Through relationships with others and by using the power of intention,
we can radiate outward all of the energy necessary to attract what we desire. I urge you to move into this awareness now and know in your heart, just as
the farmer in Field of Dreams knew, that if you build this inner dream,
surely, it will come. OceanofPDF. comIT IS MY INTENTION TO: 
OPTIMIZE MY CAPACITY 
TO HEAL AND 
BE HEALED
“No one can ask another to be healed. But he can let himself be healed, and
thus offer the other what he has received. Who can bestow upon another
what he does not have. And who can share what he denies himself. ”
 
— A Course in Miracles
Every single person on the planet has within them the potential to be a
healer. In order to make conscious contact with your inherent healing
powers, you must first make the decision to be healed yourself. As A
Course in Miracles reminds us: “Those who are healed become the
instruments of healing,” and “The only way to heal is to be healed. ” Thus,
there’s a twofold advantage in this intention to be healed. Once you’ve
accepted your power to heal yourself and optimize your health, you become
someone who’s capable of healing others as well. One of the many fascinating observations that David Hawkins made in
his book Power vs. Force is the relationship between a person’s calibrated
level of energy and their capacity to heal. People who calibrated above 600
on his map of consciousness scale (which is an exceptionally high-energyscore indicating illumination and supreme enlightenment) radiated healing
energy. Disease, as we know it, can’t exist in the presence of such high
spiritual energy. This explains the miraculous healing powers of Jesus of
Nazareth, St. Francis of Assisi, and Ramana Maharshi. Their exceptionally
high energy is sufficient to counterbalance disease. As you read this, keep in mind that you too emanated from the highest
spiritual loving energy field of intention, and you have within you this
capacity. In order to fulfill the intention of this chapter, you must, as Gandhi
states in the quotation above, “be the change that you wish to see in others. ”
You must focus on healing yourself so you’ll have this healing ability to
offer others. If you reach a level of blissful illumination where you’re
reconnected to Source and are harmonized vibrationally, you’ll begin to
radiate the energy that converts disease to health. In St. Francis’s powerful prayer, he asks of his Source, “Where there is
injury, let me sow pardon,” meaning, allow me to be a person who gives
others healing energy. This principle has been repeated throughout the
pages of this book: Bring higher/spiritual energy to the presence of
lower/diseased energy, and it not only nullifies the lower energy, but
converts it to healthy spiritual energy. In the field of energy medicine where
these principles are being applied, tumors are bombarded with exceptionally
high-laser energy that dissolves and converts them to healthy tissue. Energy
medicine is the discipline of the future, and relies on the ancient spiritual
practice of being the change, or healing others by first healing ourselves. Becoming the Healing
Reconnect to the disease-free loving perfection from which you came is a
succinct statement of what the self-healing process requires. The universal
mind of intention knows precisely what you need in order to optimize your
health. What you must do is notice your thoughts and behaviors, which are
creating resistance, and interfering with healing, which is the flow of
intentional energy. Recognizing your resistance is something that’s entirely
up to you. You must dedicate yourself to this awareness so that you can
make a shift to pure healing intention. While I was on the treadmill at the gym yesterday, I talked to a gentleman
for five minutes, and in that brief span of time, he regaled me with a
laundry list of ailments, surgeries, heart procedures, diseases, and projected
joint replacements—all in five minutes. This was his calling card. Those
thoughts and recapitulations of bodily afflictions are resistance to the
healing energy that’s available. As I talked to the complaining man on the treadmill, I attempted to get
him to shift even momentarily away from his resistance to receiving healing
energy. But he was absolutely determined to wallow in his disabilities,
wearing them as a badge of honor, arguing vehemently for his limitations. He seemed to cherish and cling to his self-loathing for his deteriorating
body. I attempted to surround him with light and sent him a silent blessing,
congratulating him for doing a treadmill exercise as I moved on to my own
workout. But I was struck by how much of this man’s inner focus was on
disorder, disharmony, and disease as he related to his own body. Reading about the role of thoughts in reports of spontaneous recovery
from irreversible and incurable disease is fascinating. Dr. Hawkins, writing
in Power vs. Force, offers us this wisdom: “In every studied case of
recovery from hopeless and untreatable disease, there has been a major shift
in consciousness, so that the attractor patterns that resulted in the pathologic
process no longer dominated. ” Every case. Imagine that. And look at that
term attractor patterns:We attract into our lives through our level of
consciousness, and we can change what we attract. This is a very powerful
idea and the basis for accessing the power of intention not only in healing,
but in every area where we have desires, aspirations, and individual
intentions. Hawkins goes on to say that “in spontaneous recovery, there is
frequently a marked increase in the capacity to love and the awareness of
the importance of love as a healing factor. ”
Your intention in this chapter is facilitated by looking at the larger
objective of returning to your Source, and vibrating more in harmony with
the energy of the power of intention. That Source is never focused on
what’s wrong, what’s missing, or what’s sickly. True healing takes you back
to the Source. Anything short of this connection is a temporary fix. When
you clean up the connecting link to your Source, attractor patterns ofenergy are drawn to you. If you don’t believe that this is possible, then
you’ve created resistance to your intention to heal and be healed. If you
believe that it is possible, but not for you, then you have more resistance. If
you believe you’re being punished by the absence of health, that’s also
resistance. These inner thoughts about your ability to be healed play a
dominant role in your physical experience. Becoming a healer by healing oneself involves another one of those
imaginary somersaults into the inconceivable, wherein you land upright and
balanced in your thoughts, face-to-face with your Source. You realize,
perhaps for the first time, that you and your Source are one when you let go
of the ego-mind, which has convinced you that you’re separate from the
power of intention. Healing others by healing yourself. In Lynne McTaggart’s book The
Field, which I’ve mentioned previously, the author has taken the time and
trouble to report the hard scientific research conducted around the world in
the past 20 years regarding this field I’m calling intention. In a chapter that
is relevant here, called “The Healing Field,” McTaggart describes a number
of research studies. Here are just five of the intriguing conclusions that
researchers have come to concerning intention and healing. I present these
to you to stimulate an awareness of your potential for healing the physical
body you’ve opted for in this lifetime, as well as the corollary capacity to
offer healing to others. (I haven’t reiterated the obvious need for a healthy
diet and a sensible exercise routine, which I’m assuming you’re aware of
and practicing. Bookstores now have entire sections on healthy alternatives
for this purpose. ) Five Conclusions about Healing from the 
World of Hard Research
1. Healing through intention is available to
ordinary people, and healers may be more experienced or
naturally talented in tapping in to the field. There’s physical
evidence that those who are capable of healing through
intention have a greater coherence and a greater ability tomarshal quantum energy and transfer it to those in need of
healing. I interpret this scientific evidence to mean that
deciding to focus life energy on being in coherence with the
power of intention gives you the capacity to heal yourself and
others. This means essentially abandoning the fear that
permeates your consciousness. And it also means recognizing
the fear-based energy promoted by much of the health-care
industry. The field of intention has no fear in it. Any disease
process is evidence that something is amiss. Any fear
associated with the disease process is further evidence that
something is amiss in the working of the mind. Health and
peace are the natural state when that which prevents them is
removed. Research shows that healing through intention,
which is actually healing through connecting to the field of
intention, is possible for everyone. 2. Most authentic healers claim to have put out
their intention and then stepped back and surrendered to
some other kind of healing force, as though they were
opening a door and allowing something greater in. The most
effective healers ask for assistance from the universal Source,
knowing that their job is to be uplifting and allow the Source
of healing to flow. Healers know that the body is the hero, and
the life force itself is what does the healing. By removing ego
and allowing that force to flow freely, healing is facilitated. Medically trained professionals often do the opposite of
allowing and uplifting. They frequently convey the message
that the medicine does the healing, and communicate disbelief
in anything other than their prescribed procedures. Patients
often feel anything but uplifted and hopeful, and diagnosis and
prognosis are usually fear based and excessively pessimistic to
avoid legal proceedings. Tell them the worst and hope for the
best is often the medical operating philosophy. The ability to heal yourself seems to be available to those
who have an intuitive knowing about the power of the Spirit. The healing inner speech has to do with relaxing, removing
thoughts of resistance, and allowing the spirit of light and love
to flow. A powerful healer from the island of Fiji once told me
about the efficacy of the native healers. He said, “When a
knowing confronts a belief in a disease process, the knowing
will always triumph. ” A knowing is faith in the power of
intention. A knowing also involves an awareness of always
being connected to this Source. And finally, a knowing means
getting one’s ego out of the way and surrendering to the
omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient Source, the power of
intention, which is the source of all, including all healing. 3. It didn’t seem to matter what method was used,
so long as the healer held an intention for a patient to heal. Healers relied upon profoundly different techniques, including
a Christian image, a kabbalist energy pattern, a Native
American spirit, a totem, a statue of a saint, and incantations
and chants to a healing spirit. As long as the healer held firm to
an intention and had a knowing beyond any and all doubts that
he could touch the patient with the spirit of intention, the
healing was effective as measured by scientific validation. It’s crucial for you to hold an absolute intention for yourself
to heal, regardless of what goes on around you, or what others
might offer you in the way of discouragement or “getting real. ”
Your intention is strong because it isn’t ego’s intention, but a
match-up with the universal Source. It’s God-realization at
work in your approach to healing and being healed. As an infinite being, you know that your own death, and the
death of everyone else, is programmed in the energy field from
which you emanated. Just as all of your physical characteristics
were determined by that future pull, so, too, is your death. So
let go of fear of your death, and decide to hold the same
intention that intended you here from the world offormlessness. You came from a natural state of well-being, and
you intend to be there in your mind, regardless of what
transpires in and around your body. Hold that intention for
yourself until you leave this body, and hold that same invisible
intention for others. This is the one quality that all healers
shared. I encourage you to emphasize it, too, right here, right
now, and don’t let anyone or any prognosis deter you from it. 4. Research suggests that intention on its own
heals, but that healing is a collective memory of a healing
spirit, which can be gathered as a medicinal force. Healing
itself may in fact be a force that’s available to all of
humankind. It’s the universal mind of intention. Further,
research suggests that individuals and groups of individuals
can gather this collective memory and apply it to themselves
and to those who suffer with epidemic diseases as well. Since
we’re all connected to intention, we all share the same life
force, and we all emanated from the same universal mind of
God, it’s not so far-fetched to assume that by tapping in to this
energy field, we can gather healing energy and spread it to all
who enter our enlightened spheres. This would explain the
enormous collective healing power of saints, and make the
case for each of us holding the intention to eradicate such
things as AIDS, smallpox, worldwide influenzas, and even the
cancer epidemic we live with today. When illness is viewed in isolation, it’s disconnected from
the collective health of the universal field. Several studies
report that the AIDS virus seems to feed on fear, the kind of
fear that’s experienced when a person is shunned or isolated
from the community. Studies on heart patients reveal that those
who felt isolated from their family, their community, and
especially their spirituality, were more susceptible to disease. Studies on longevity show that those who live longer have a
strong spiritual belief and a sense of belonging to a community. The capacity to heal collectively is one of the powerfulbenefits that’s available when you raise your energy level and
connect to the faces of intention. 5. The most important treatment any healer can
offer is hope for the health and well-being of those who
suffer disease or trauma. Healers do a self-analysis of what’s
present in their consciousness before they focus on someone in
need of healing. The key word here is hope. The presence of
hope conveyed boils down to faith. I would also call it
knowing, a knowing that connection to one’s Source is a
connection to the source of all healing. When we live this way,
we always see hope. We know that miracles are always a
possibility. Staying in that mind-set, fear and doubt are
banished from the landscape. If you give up hope, you change
the energy level of your life to vibrate at fear and doubt levels. Yet we know that the all-creating Source of intention knows no
fear or doubt. My favorite quote from Michelangelo is on the value of
hope: “The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is
too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. ”
Just imagine—the intention of healers and the hopes they have
for themselves and others may be even more important than
the medicine being offered. The simple thought of dislike
toward another impedes the potential for healing. Lack of faith
in the power of Spirit to heal plays a deleterious role in the
healing process. Any low-energy thoughts you have undermine
your ability to heal yourself. All five of these research-backed
conclusions lead us to an awareness of the importance of
shifting our focus and connecting to the all-healing field of
intention and harmonizing with it. From Thoughts of Sickness to 
Intentions of WellnessYou’re probably familiar with the phrase “And God intended, ‘Let there
be light. ’ and there was light,” from the Old Testament. If you look in an
English-Hebrew dictionary, you’ll find that the English translation of the
Hebrew can be read as: “And god intended. ” The decision to create is
the decision to intend. To create healing, you can’t have thoughts of illness
and anticipate your body falling victim to disease. Become aware of the
thoughts you have that support the idea of sickness as something to be
expected. Begin noticing the frequency of those thoughts. The more they
occupy your mental landscape, the more resistance you’re creating to
realizing your intention. You know what those thoughts of resistance sound like: I can’t do
anything about this arthritis. It’s the flu season. I feel okay now, but by the
weekend, it will be in my chest and I’ll have a fever. We live in a
carcinogenic world. Everything is either fattening or filled with chemicals. I
feel so tired all the time. On and on they go. They’re like huge barricades
blocking the realization of your intention. Notice the thoughts that represent
a decision on your part to buy into the illness mentality of the huge profit-
making drug companies and a health-care industry that thrives on your
fears. But you’re the divine, remember. You’re a piece of the universal mind of
intention, and you don’t have to think in these ways. You can opt to think
that you have the ability to raise your energy level, even if all of the
advertising around you points to a different conclusion. You can go within
and hold an intention that says: I want to feel good, I intend to feel good, I
intend to return to my Source, and I refuse to allow any other thoughts of
disorder or disease in. This is the beginning. You’ll feel empowered by this
unique experience. Then in any given moment of not feeling well, choose
thoughts of healing and feeling good. In that instant, feeling good takes
over, if only for a few seconds. When you refuse to live in low energy, and you work moment by moment
to introduce thoughts that support your intention, you’ve effectively decided
that wellness is your choice and that being a healer is a part of that decision. At this time, wheels of creation are set in motion, and what you’veimagined and created in your mind begins to take form in your everyday
life. Give it a shot the next time you’re low-energy thinking of any kind. Just
note how quickly you can change how you feel by refusing to think
thoughts that are out of harmony with your Source of intention. It works for
me, and I encourage you to do so as well. I simply will not think any longer
that I must be a victim of illness or disability, and I will not spend the
precious moments of my life discussing illness. I am a healer. I heal myself
by co-creating health with God, and I give this gift to others as well. This is
my intention. Illness Is Not a Punishment
Illness became a component of the human condition when we separated
ourselves from the perfect health from which we were intended. Rather than
attempting to intellectualize reasons why people get sick and come up with
a rationale for understanding illness, I encourage you to think of yourself as
having the potential to become a master healer. Try visualizing all of human
illness from the perspective of something that the human race has
collectively brought upon itself by identifying with the ego rather than
staying with the divinity from which we emanated. Out of this collective
ego identification, we brought about all that goes with the ego problems—
fear, hate, despair, anxiety, depression—all of it. The ego feeds on these
emotions because it’s insistent on its own identity as a separate entity apart
from this God-force that intended us here. In one way or another, virtually
every single member of the human race bought into this idea of separation
and ego identification. Consequently, illness, disease, sickness, and the need
for healing simply come with the territory of being human. However, you needn’t feel stuck there. The power of intention is about
returning to the Source of perfection. It’s about knowing that the power to
heal is all wrapped up in making that divine connection, and that the Source
of all life does not punish, offering karmic paybacks through suffering and
hardship. You don’t have a need for healing because you were bad or
ignorant, or as retribution for past-life offenses. You’ve taken on whatever
you’re experiencing for whatever lessons you need to learn on this journey,which is being orchestrated by the all-providing intelligence that we’re
calling intention. In an eternal universe, you must view yourself and all others in infinite
terms. Infinite terms mean that you have an infinite number of opportunities
to show up in a material body to co-create anything. As you view the
sickness of the mind and body that permeates your own life as well as the
rest of humanity, try viewing it as part of the infinite nature of our world. If
starvation, pestilence, or disease are a part of the perfection of the universe,
then so is your intention to end these things a part of that same perfection. Now decide to stay with that intention—first in your own life, then in the
lives of others. Your intention will match up with the intention of the
universe, which knows nothing of egos and separation, and all thoughts of
illness as punishment and karmic paybacks will cease to exist. Making Your Intention Your Reality
Below is my ten-step plan for implementing the intention of this chapter
to optimize your capacity to heal and be healed:
 
Step l: You can’t heal anyone until you allow yourself to be healed. Work in a collaborative effort with your Source to create a sense of your
own healing. Put all of your focused energy on knowing that you can be
healed of physical or emotional disruptions to your perfect health. Connect
to a loving, kind, receptive-to-healing energy, which is the field that
intended you here. Be willing to accept the fact that you’re a part of the
healing energy of all of life. The same force that heals a cut on your hand
and grows the new skin to repair it permanently is both in your hand and in
the universe as well. You are it, it is you; there’s no separation. Be
conscious of staying in contact with this healing energy, because it’s
impossible to separate from it except in your ego-diminished thoughts. Step 2: The healing energy that you’re connected to at all times is
what you have to give away to others. Offer this energy freely, and keep
your ego entirely out of the healing process. Remember how St. Francisresponded when asked why he didn’t heal himself of his diseases, which
would cause his death at the age of 45: “I want everyone to know that it is
God who does this healing. ” St. Francis was healed of ego domination, and
he deliberately held on to his infirmities to teach others that it was God’s
energy working through him that provided the energy for all of his
miraculous healings. Step 3: By raising your energy to a vibrational match with the field
of intention, you’re strengthening your immune system and increasing
the production of well-being enzymes in the brain. A change in
personality from being spiteful, pessimistic, angry, sullen, and disagreeable
to one of passion, optimism, kindness, joy, and understanding is often the
key when witnessing miraculous acts of spontaneous recovery from
fatalistic prognostications. Step 4: Practice surrender. Let go and let God is a great theme in the
recovery movement. It’s also a wonderful reminder in the world of healing. By surrendering, you’re able to have reverence for, and commune with, the
Source of all healing. Remember that the field of intention doesn’t know
anything about healing per se,because it’s spiritual perfection already, and it
creates from that perspective. It’s ego consciousness that creates the
disorder, disharmony, and diseases of our world, and it is in returning to that
spiritual perfection that harmony of body, mind, and spirit are realized. When this balance or symmetry is restored, we call it healing, but the
Source knows nothing of healing because it creates only perfect health. It’s
to this perfect health that you must surrender. Step 5: Don’t ask to be healed, ask to be restored to that perfection
from which you emanated. Here’s where you want to hold an intention for
yourself and for others in an unbending, nonnegotiable way. Let nothing
interfere with the intention you have to heal and be healed. Discard all
negativity that you encounter. Refuse to let in any energy that will weaken
your body or your resolve. Convey this to others as well. Remember, you’re
not asking your Source to heal you, because this assumes health is missingfrom your life. It assumes scarcity, but the Source can only recognize and
respond to what it is already, and you too are a component of that Source. Come to the Source as whole and complete, banish all thoughts of illness,
and know that by connecting back to this Source—filling yourself with it
and offering it to others—you become healing itself. Step 6: Know that you are adored. Look for reasons to praise and feel
good. In the moment in which you’re experiencing thoughts that make you
feel sick or bad, do your best to change them to thoughts that support your
feeling good, and if that seems impossible, then do your very best to say
nothing at all. Refuse to talk about disease, and work to activate thoughts
that predict recovery, feeling good, and perfect health. Picture yourself as
healthy and free of disability. Be on the lookout for the opportunity to
literally say to yourself, I feel good. I intend to attract more of this good
feeling, and I intend to give it away to any and all in need of it. Step 7: Seek out and cherish the silence. Many people who have
suffered with long-term illnesses have been able to return to their Source
through the channel of nature and contemplative silence. Spend time in
quiet meditation visualizing yourself coupled with the perfectly healthy
field of intention. Commune with this Source of all that is good, all that is
well, and practice accessing this high spiritual energy, bathing your entire
being in this light. Meditation is always healing for me. When I’m fatigued, a few moments
in silence accessing higher, loving, kind vibrations energizes me. When I
feel out of sorts, a few moments in quietude making conscious contact with
God provides me with all that I need to not only feel good, but to help
others do the same. I always remember Herman Melville’s timely words:
“Silence is the only Voice of our God. ”
Here’s an excerpt from a letter written to me by Darby Hebert, who now
lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. For more than two decades, she struggled
with feeling used as well as watching her own physical conditiondeteriorate. She opted for nature, silence, and meditation. I repeat her words
(with her permission) below:
For a year I lived out of boxes in an empty house. Then, to
remove myself from this negative energy field and the scorn of
people who were sitting in judgment, I moved 2,000 miles away
to Jackson Hole. The magnificence, grandeur, and peace of this
sacred, enchanted place began to work its magic immediately. I
have lived in silence for almost two years. Meditation and
appreciation have become my way of life. Leaving low energy,
and moving into high energy, with your help, has worked
miracles. I have moved from hemorrhaging eyes, internal
lesions, aseptic meningitis, and severe muscle pain to a health
that includes all-day mountain hiking and cross-country skiing. I am slowly getting off of the dangerous drugs used to control
the diseases, and I know I can do it. You have shown me the way
to being well, and I will forever be grateful. God bless you a
thousandfold, Wayne, for following your bliss and helping
others to find theirs. I hope there will come a time when I can
express my gratitude in person. Until then, I’ll see you in the
Gap. Step 8: To be health, you must totally identify with the wholeness that
you are. You can stop seeing yourself as a physical body and immerse
yourself in the idea of absolute well-being. This can become your new
identification card. Here, you breathe only wellness, you think only perfect
health, and you detach from appearances of illness in the world. Soon you
recognize only perfection in others. You stand firm in your truth, reflecting
only thoughts of well-being, and speaking only words of the infinite
possibility for healing any and all disease processes. This is your rightful
identity of wholeness, and you live it as if you and the Source that creates
all are one and the same. This is your ultimate truth, and you can allow this
dynamic aura of wholeness to saturate and animate your every thought until
it is all that you have to give away. This is how you heal, from that inner
knowing and trust of your wholeness. Step 9: Allow health to stream into your life. Become conscious of
resistance, which interferes with the natural flow of healthy energy to you. This resistance is in the form of your thoughts. Any thought that’s out of
sync with the seven faces of intention is a resistant thought. Any thought
that says that it’s impossible to heal is a resistant thought. Any thought of
doubt or fear is a resistant thought. When you observe these thoughts, note
them carefully, and then deliberately activate thoughts that are in energetic,
vibrational balance with the all-providing Source of intention. Step 10: Stay immersed in a state of gratitude. Be grateful for every
breath you take. for all of your internal organs that work together in
harmony. for the wholeness that is your body. for the blood streaming
through your veins. for your brain that allows you to process these words
and the eyes that allow you to read them. Look in the mirror at least once
every day and give thanks for that heart that continues to beat and the
invisible force on which those heartbeats depend. Stay in gratitude. This is
the surest way to keep the connecting link to perfect health clean and pure. One of the messages of Jesus of Nazareth is apropos of all that I’ve
presented in this chapter on having a healing intention:
If you bring forth what is inside you,
what you bring forth will save you. If you don’t bring forth what is inside you,
what you don’t bring forth will destroy you. What is inside you is the power of intention. No microscope will reveal
it. You can find the command center with x-ray technology, but the
commander in the command center remains impervious to our sophisticated
probing instruments. You are that commander. You must allow yourself to
be in vibrational harmony with the greatest commander of all and bring it
forth to serve you, rather than allowing yourself to be in a state of disrepair.
