ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU….

A newspaper changed my whole life…

One day I was looking in the newspaper and came across an advertisement that would change my life forever. It said come and  ‘learn about the greatest story told’  or How to create the impossible in your life’,that kind of thing. It sounded very interesting and had my curiosity. Keep in mind that I had no idea what I was doing, just following my path everyday of doing what seemed natural and what seemed like the right thing to do. Just a country boy wandering around the city looking for excitement. It said it was a free event so I thought what the heck I think I’ll check it out. It was at a downtown hotel and when I got there I followed the signs in the lobby to the room that was having the lecture. There was a lady at a table outside the door by the name of Anne that was registering everyone as they came in. Of course this was a long time ago and we didn't have any such thing as the internet to research and find out things and we didn’t have an online ticket company like Eventbrite where you could purchase your ticket. Anne was very cordial and friendly. I remember very clearly because I became very good friends with her. I registered and gave her my name and phone number and went inside and took a seat. There were already 30 or 40 people there and seated from what I remember. Nothing elaborate. Just an ordinary event. So when the event started no one came up to the front and made a big hurrah about the acclaimed speaker we were about to hear, like they do now whenever you go to something. He just came up and said his name was Walter and he was going to talk about how to achieve your goals in life and to get anything you want. He really got my attention. It went for about 45 minutes to an hour. No visual or power point presentation of any sort just him talking about possibilities in life and that anything was possible. Anything. 

Wouldn't it be great if….?

He talked about the subconscious mind and how you could use it to attract anything in your life. He talked about the subconscious mind being the storehouse of knowledge,  where you could put any goal, object or desire you have into your mind and have it manifest in your life. It sounded really intriguing however I really didn’t know what he was talking about. It was interesting enough that made me want to sign up for it and check it out. 

So the following weekend on a Friday at 6 o’clock we started the seminar. It was going to go until 11 o’clock Sunday night. We had a slide presentation along with some guy telling us about possibilities. Only it went into more and more detail. Then at the end of each lesson, we would do a meditation or visualization about what we had learned and we sat in the quiet for 10 or 15 minutes followed by a discussion. We would ask questions about what we had learned and made sure we were all clear about it before we went on to the next lesson. This went on all evening until about 11 o’clock. I went home quite excited about what I had learned. My wild mind was full of new possibilities and things that I wanted to do in my life.

The next morning I woke up feeling very refreshed. I won’t say that I had a new lease on life because at this time in my life it was really just beginning. I was only 20 years old and nothing ridiculous had happened in my life. I was just naturally experiencing it. So I drove into the City really just alive and alert and ready for a full day. And a full day it was. We started the whole exercise again. It was becoming more and more interesting as our minds got deeper and deeper into it and as our bodies all started to relax. We entered a zone of total ecstasy and joy. I don’t even know how to explain it to this day. It was a completely uninhibited feeling. A feeling that anything is possible. 

Just believe it and feel your way

to possible….

We had no outside interruptions, no outside influences, no cell phones. We were just there. Just there totally and fully immersed in the process of learning and being. By noon the energy in that room was incredible. I wish to this day that we all had stayed in contact as it would be really interesting to know the direction everyone took after that weekend. So this went on all day and all afternoon and all evening. It was 11 or 11:30 p.m. by the time we were done again that day. A very full day. I drove home again feeling very fulfilled about everything that had happened that day. By the time I got home it was after 12 and I sure didn't feel like sleeping. I had to wind myself down and it was about 1 o’clock when I drifted off. It really didn’t feel like I needed any rest and got up about 5:30 because I had to feed up the cows before leaving for the City. When I got to the event everyone was outside the room chattering away about their experience so far. You could tell the energy was just very very high. We were all talking about what we thought we had learned so far and about what we wanted to do about it. There was also a certain amount of peace in the air. I don’t really know how to describe it except to say it was a very wholesome feeling. We felt connected.

High energy makes 

it feel real

 We felt like we were one with the universe or whatever term you want to use. I am saying ‘we’ because it seemed like everyone was on that level. We were entering into the day on a level that was so different than when we originally had began on Friday evening. It was especially a very good day Sunday because Sunday is/was supposed to be a day of rest or a day when the family all gets together. At least for me it was. On Saturday, Walter told us we were going to have some special guests on the following Sunday evening next weekend and that if we wished we could also bring a guest to listen to what we had experienced. For me there was no idea or conceptualization in my mind of just how this was supposed to turn out. It was my first real experience of getting a bunch of like-minded people together for a weekend. So we went through the day with the balance of the lessons and had our regular breaks. After dinner we came to the conclusion of the weekend seminar.

We were left with some exercises to do and followed them all week. 

Do the work and see what starts

to come into your life.

We were assigned accountability buddies so each day we would check in with our partner and talk about our goals and how we were getting along with our assignments. It was a very exciting week. A lot had changed. The weird part was I had shifted so much from this that my Mom and Dad actually sat me down and had a talk with me. They actually thought I was now belonging to a cult. I can understand that now looking back on it however it was far from that. It was just an experience I had. 

So the following Sunday I got to the hotel about 6 a.m., early enough to visit with some of my colleagues from the previous weekend. The energy was just as crazy as when we left. This evening was called the ‘sharing’ part of the seminar. It was where attendees from previous weekend seminars would come and talk about their experiences and what has gone on in their life. During the week for me, I had noticed different circumstances going on and different happenings that seemed a bit out of the norm. It was an awareness feeling. For a while, we listened to all different people talk about how this had made a difference in their lives. It was quite revealing and the fact that we all were in this together gave us a real sense of camaraderie. This whole evening event went till almost midnight with story after story after story, testimonials of people that were having different unexplained things happening in their life to outright what almost appeared to be miracles. This was really the first time I had experienced something like this at this level.

Then a guy named Peter got up. He talked about his experience of when he first went through this course about 11 months ago. Part of our assignment was that we were supposed to set some goals of immediate things we wanted in our life, some things that might take a little bit longer and long-term goals. Then we were supposed to practice daily relaxations of visualizing our goal in its completion. Every single detail we could imagine along with the feeling of achieving that goal. Peter talked about his Black 1964 Rolls Royce. He said that when he first left the weekend seminar he thought to himself that if he was going to go through these exercises then he might as well make it big. He had a desire for this Rolls Royce for a long time and had thought about it and thought about it. So he started to focus on his 1964 Black Rolls Royce. Every day early in the morning, he would start the day by visualizing it with detail. Imagine himself driving and owning it. It was an amazing experience he had said. He did it faithfully day after day. It felt the same every day as he went into his mind and owned it. It actually felt like he had it parked outside in his garage. So 30 days went by and then 60 days and still nothing. One of the things we learned in class was not to judge anything about our results. Just focus on the end and desired result as if it were already complete. Don’t focus on lack if you haven’t got the goal yet. 

See yourself in possession 

of your goal

The best example we were told is if a child planted a seed for a new tree to come up and came every day to examine if the tree was there yet. If the child stirred up the soil looking for the tree and just came and stirred up the soil every day, then nothing would come of it. Same thing with a goal. If you focus on what isn't there then that is actually what comes of it. You have to have the belief or faith that this goal unknowingly will show up. For some people that is a lot to handle. Believing that some invisible thing that you can’t see yet will inevitably show up. But here is the thing. It already has shown up. In your own mind. You just have to visualize that completed picture. 

So as Peter explained to us, he would visualize faithfully every day. After 180 days he did admit he was kind of starting to wonder about if this really was going to happen.

But he would get up everyday and still do it. Well about the 265th day it was not really any different. He got up and followed his regular routine. Had a few errands to run and business as usual. He was just coming up to a corner crosswalk where there was a traffic light and had to wait till the light was green. As he was standing there, a little old lady hobbled up to the curb of the sidewalk with a bag of groceries. Seeing that they were both going the same way, he offered to help her by asking if she didn’t mind him carrying her bag of groceries across the street. She gladly accepted and was actually very happy as it really was a heavy bag. Especially at her age she thought. After they had crossed the street he then asked again if she didn’t mind, that he had the time and sure would not mind carrying the bag with her to her house. She agreed once more and along the way they went. When they got to her tiny little house Peter brought in the groceries and set them on the table. She brought him a glass of water since she was quite sure he would want one. He sat there for a moment and then figured it was time to get going. He had in his mind done his good deed for the day. As he stood up she said to him, Hey do you have one more moment I would like to show you something before you go. Come with me. He followed her out the back door to the garage thinking maybe she needed a hand taking out her garbage bins. When they got to the door she pushed the door open and it was pitch black inside. She flicked on the light and there it was! Right before him was a 1964 Black Rolls Royce. Wow! he said to himself I wonder if she wants to sell it. No sooner than the thoughts were in his mind as she came out and said. Isn’t this beautiful? 

It was my husbands.

Your goal reveals itself to you 

He just stood there in shock he said because he finally had realized at this moment that he had caused this to happen. Everything had led him to this day of finding this Rolls Royce. 

The little old lady then looked at him and said. “You know...you have been so kind to me that I have to tell you something. My husband died about 9 months ago and this car he was just so proud of. I have been looking all over for someone to give this car to and I would like to give it to you.

I know what you’re thinking. You have got to be joking or what a fairytale. That would never happen. The truth is it did happen. Stuff like this happens like this every day. People like you and me ask for something and we get it.

But if you don't ask, you don’t get. I was there and heard this story and have no reason to not believe it.

Just ask yourself what it is that you want and what it is that you want to have, be and do. Has your dream come true? 

Maybe you are at the stage that you haven’t really set any goals for yourself. Maybe your ship just hasn’t come in yet. The truth is your ship has come in and

it's been sitting in the harbour waiting for you.

Whatever it is, I can tell you that it is never too late. Ever!

Now I really like dreaming about possibilities. Of things that can materialize in one's life. I could spend the next 3 hours just talking about possibilities and how you can have your dream. Whatever that is for you. The whole idea is to not only inspire you of the possibilities and faculties of your mind available to reach your dream, also though to show you how anything is possible.
