That Which I Have Greatly Loved Has Come Upon Me

I have been a little quiet as of late.
But I had a reason.

As some of you know, I had c*ncer (I wont even grace the word by spelling it out anymore) back in 2007.
I had surgery, 12 weeks of chemo and was pronounced clean.
But I have to go back to the Dr every few months for blood tests to make sure there is no reoccurrence.
Well the last test showed a slight rise in my tumor count.
They scheduled me for a CT scan last Friday and I have been waiting for the test results since then.

I know what fear is.
I have looked it straight in the face.
I fight fear constantly.
Everyone that has been through c*ncer does I guess.
But you add my OCD, Anxiety Disorder and panic attacks to it, and you have a potent cocktail for trouble.

Well I fought for 5 days and finally last night I almost gave up knowing I would hear the results today.
I e-mailed Rev. Bates who has an excellent website with a lot of Joseph Murphy on it.
The Rev e-mailed me back and said
" If you are knowledgeable of the Bible you will recall that Job said, "that which I have greatly feared has come upon me." Just imagine what a difference his life would have been had he said, "that which I have greatly loved has come upon me." I know and I know that I know, that God indwells you ... for God is Life, and you are part of this Life."

"That which I have greatly loved has come upon me".
How powerful is that?
Not fear, not doubt, but love.
I am saying that what I love is here now upon me.

I repeated that phrase over and over and latched onto the feeling that I had before when the Dr said I was clean.
I thanked God over and over for me getting a clean scan again.

This morning the phone rang and my Dr said " The CT scan was clear. No c*ncer at all."

I thought I had thanked God a lot last night, but it's nothing compared to the joy and freedom I have felt today.
Remember the old "No Fear" T-Shirts?
I think that's a good motto.

"NO FEAR"

The Healing Presence of God is Within You -Dr. Joseph Murphy

Again, this is just one of those things I felt moved to post.
Maybe someone out there needs to hear it.

The healing presence of God is within you.
This miraculous healing power in your subconscious mind, if scientifically directed, can heal your mind, body, and affairs of all disease and impediments.
The first step in healing is not to be afraid of the manifest condition — from this very moment.
The second step is to realize that the condition is only the product of past thinking, which will have no more power to continue its existence.
The third step is mentally to exalt the miraculous healing power of God within you.
This procedure instantly will stop the production of all mental poisons in you or in the person for whom you are praying.
Live in the embodiment of your desire, and your thought and feeling will soon be made manifest.
Do not allow yourself to be swayed by human opinion and worldly fears, but live emotionally in the belief that it is God in action in your mind and body.

-Dr. Joseph Murphy

Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction, Part 2

Okay, here's this week's update on my Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction experiment.
Really I suppose this should be Joseph Murphy AND Neville Goddard since the two seem to overlap so much.
Anyway, I got a check in the mail from out of the blue for 100 dollars.
Yes out of the blue.
I had no idea it was coming.
Right now I am working on a BIG project that I hopefully will hear something about on Monday.
Three days.
Where have I heard that before?
BTW, if anyone wants to lend their positive energy to mine, feel free.

And speaking of that,when I finally get everything to gel here and get a good working system, I am thinking about maybe actually taking requests here and doing a "Bearing Your Brother's Burden" thing.
What's the point in creating reality if you can't help others?
And as you know, when I do get that system down, I will post in painful detail (LOL) just what I am doing to see if others can replicate the results.

So, in keeping with Dr Murphy and Neville's spirit, I will have good news Monday to report.
Actually I guess it should be I have good news now, right?

Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction, Part 1

I told you that I was going to start Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction and I have.
But the techniques he lays down for manifesting and the ones Neville Goddard uses are very similar.
Probably because they both studied under Abdullah.
I wonder why he never wrote anything?
Did he leave it to his students?

Anyway, one line kept popping up in my head that I had read in "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind".
And that is in chapter 6, " Practical Techniques in Mental Healings".
At the end of the chapter he talks about "The Decree Method".
And there he quotes the Bible, Job 22:28:
"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways."

I kept thinking about that and sure enough, in "Your Faith Is Your Fortune" by Neville Goddard, Chapter 2 is called " You Shall Decree"
Here Neville quotes Isaiah 55:11 in the opening....
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

So what about instead of mentally decreeing something, you actually say it out loud?
Take a few minutes a day and consciously say what you decree out loud?

Of course I am no expert.
And I won't start telling people how to do something until something works and I can replicate it.
And someone else I tell can replicate it.
So the Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction experiment continues until I see some results.
Or three weeks pass, whichever comes first.

Let me sleep on it: Creative problem solving enhanced by REM sleep

Let me sleep on it: Creative problem solving enhanced by REM sleep:

"Research led by a leading expert on the positive benefits of napping at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine suggests that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep enhances creative problem-solving. The findings may have important implications for how sleep, specifically REM sleep, fosters the formation of associative networks in the brain.

The study by Sara Mednick, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry at UC San Diego and the VA San Diego Healthcare System, and first author Denise Cai, graduate student in the UC San Diego Department of Psychology, shows that REM directly enhances creative processing more than any other sleep or wake state. Their findings will be published in the June 8th online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)."

Well that's something we have never heard about isn't it?

The Foundation Stone- Imagination, by Neville Goddard

From "The Foundation Stone- Imagination" by Neville Goddard, December 1st, 1959......

"We believe that man can create anything he desires. We believe the Universe is infinite response and the one who causes it is the individual perceiver. Nothing is independent of your perception of it. We are so interwoven we are part of the machine, but as we awake we detach ourselves from this machine and make life as we wish it to be. "For man is all Imagination and God is man and exists in us and we in him." "The eternal body of man is the Imagination: that is God himself." You can imagine and I can imagine, and if we can be faithful to the state imagined it must appear in our world. This is not new. This was given centuries ago, for we have it in the Bible; but people do not know how to read the Bible, so they got together and organized it into an "ism." It is not an "ism," but it is the great plan to free man. The Bible shows this plan in detail."

"I say the universe is infinite response, but it also gives back more than you imagine. It is pressed down and running over. Therefore, to be negative can be frightening. The good will come back a thousandfold, but so will the negative. But if I am optimistic and do not waver, I will bring that also pressed down and running over. It is something wonderful; it will come like a gusher. The world responds more than it takes, and it gives to the individual more than he imagines - good or bad."

The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace D. Wattles

From The Science of Getting Rich, Chapter 4

THOUGHT is the only power which can produce tangible riches from the Formless Substance. The stuff from which all things are made is a substance which thinks, and a thought of form in this substance produces the form.

Original Substance moves according to its thoughts; every form and process you see in nature is the visible expression of a thought in Original Substance. As the Formless Stuff thinks of a form, it takes that form; as it thinks of a motion, it makes that motion. That is the way all things were created. We live in a thought world, which is part of a thought universe. The thought of a moving universe extended throughout Formless Substance, and the Thinking Stuff moving according to that thought, took the form of systems of planets, and maintains that form. Thinking Substance takes the form of its thought, and moves according to the thought. Holding the idea of a circling system of suns and worlds, it takes the form of these bodies, and moves them as it thinks. Thinking the form of a slow-growing oak tree, it moves accordingly, and produces the tree, though centuries may be required to do the work. In creating, the Formless seems to move according to the lines of motion it has established; the thought of an oak tree does not cause the instant formation of a full-grown tree, but it does start in motion the forces which will produce the tree, along established lines of growth.

Every thought of form, held in thinking Substance, causes the creation of the form, but always, or at least generally, along lines of growth and action already established.


The Science of Getting Rich was written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910.
Wallace also published a lesser known book "The Science of Being Well" in 1910.
Of course The Science of Getting Rich regained popularity in modern times because Rhonda Byrne said that her daughter Hayley, had given Rhonda a copy of the book to help her recover from her breakdown.

Wallace's daughter Florence said that Wallace used creative visualization.

Believing and Receiving

Matthew 21 (King James Version)
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

So there we have a very early version of believing and receiving.
Of course we are told over and over just why this doesn't work.
There's even a famous prayer (not in the Bible) that says

"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."
-Reinhold Niebuhr
Of course a modified version of this prayer is used by Alcoholics Anonymous.

But doesn't this prayer go against what Jesus said in the Bible?

"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed"
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"

So why is the "accept the things I cannot change" drilled into peoples heads?
Is it easier than saying that you can change them?
Why is it that give up and surrender seems easier than stand and fight?

And actually when you look at it, there is no fight other than with yourself.
