I love you. I'm sorry. I forgive you. Thank you.
For those of you who read your email yesterday to the Real Truth list,
you may recall the PEERS message I forwarded, inviting you to listen
to an interview with Joe Vitale.
Joe has become pretty famous worldwide, both in his internet marketing
work and also his more spiritual work, for which he was featured in
the famous "The Secret" film.
But what Joe is working on now is way beyond "The Secret." In fact,
it is the next logical step, which is taking personal responsibility
for everything that happens around us.
That may seem bizarre, but if you think about it, it will ring true to
you. I know it always has for me. We are responsible, ultimately,
for what happens in our world around us.
I know this sounds rather bizarre, and if you haven't yet watched or
listened to The Secret, you really should before you go on to this
next level.
Joe's soon coming book, "Zero Limit" will pick up where his earlier
works left off.
In the fascinating interview I listened to yesterday, he tells the
story of a Dr. Len, who in the 1960's in Hawaii cured an entire ward
of the criminally insane that no one else had been able to cure. He
did it by taking the patient's files and saying over and over again
over the file the phrases above: "I love you. I'm sorry. Please
forgive me. Thank you."
Miraculously all but 2 of the patients were made well, and amazingly,
Dr. Len didn't see or treat any of them. These phrases come from
ancient practices in the Hawaiian religion, which I am told is the
ONLY religion officially banned by the US government. In fact,
according to what a native Hawaiian told me years ago, there are
certain books which are banned from leaving Hawaii.
This man claimed to be the son of the Big Kohona, and claimed to be
his heir. Apparently, his father was the first to travel to Tibet,
and compare the ancient knowledge of both places.
His father was able to tele****t himself and had other interesting
abilities.
If you recall, years ago Texxe Mars wrote a book in which he dealt
with the "Warrior Monks" used and trained by the Black Opps boys of
the US military to conduct psychic warfare on others. This was way
beyond remote viewing, and I have reason to believe that this person
of my acquaintance was one of these.
I have had other strange encounters over the years with this strange
type of operative, including 2 years where a high level Mason was
attempting to recruit me into the upper levels of that order, skipping
all of the lower degrees and just stepping off at his high level.
He tempted me with riches, political power, and other perks, but of
course my commitment is to God, and he eventually gave up. This is,
of course, indirect vindication of who and what I am, but that is not
a topic for discussion at this time.
But I digress.
The point is that Joe Vitale has hit upon something quite real, and
quite "unthinkable" for most people. It goes beyond what is said in
The Secret, and makes it quite clear that, indeed, "we create
reality."
In fact, Christ said the same things in the New Testament, except that
His listeners were not able to understand it at that time, and it has
been covered up by organized religion. But, this same theme is
elsewhere in the Bible as well, if you can dare to look.
In the Psalms, it says "Ye are gods."
And Christ said, "The Kingdom of God is within you," but man has
mistranslated it to say "among you."
Furthermore, as Herbert Armstrong discovered years ago, it is God's
intent and design for us to, in his words, "Become god as God is god."
Yes, it's all over your Bible if you care to look. In fact, this
theme is the FOCAL POINT of the Bible because that is the transcendent
purpose in all human life.
God has revealed many things to me in addition to this simple truth,
but it's a great place to start. I suggest, if you haven't done so
already, that you read Mr. Armstrong's landmark book, "The Incredible
Human Potential," which is in our Basic Literature section of our
website library.

As I am learning, though, there is more to this story, and we have as
yet only begun to scratch the surface. I will be writing and speaking
on these im****tant subjects in the near future.
However, one thing that is still absolutely true is that we need to
have the CHARACTER to go with the power that will someday soon be
ours. And we can learn that character through a study of God's way of
life, which is summed up in His law of love.
But one of our first steps along the way, is to transform and cleanse
our lives, and we can start with Joe's phrases.
Think carefully about what each of these means:
"I love you." Christ told us to LOVE our enemies and BLESS THOSE WHO
CURSE YOU. It might seem crazy to most, but this is the first step
upwards, and can have tremendous impact, as Dr. Len learned first
hand.
"I'm sorry." It take REAL HUMILITY to say we are sorry and really
mean it, even while we may still think we are in the right.
"I forgive you." Christ instructed us to forgive and forgive and
forgive. The disciples were perplexed by this. They even asked Him,
"If a brother offends me 7 times, shall I still forgive him?" And
Christ's answer was, "70 X 7." In other words our ability and power
to forgive should be almost INFINITE.
"Thank you." As I have discussed before, many times we have a problem
because we lack an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. Today, so many people think
they are ENTITLED to this or entitled to that.
And, if you are "entitled" to something, then you often forget to say
"thank you."
But saying "thank you" and being truly grateful is one of the first
rungs to true success. When we can give honest, sincere, humble
THANKS for what we already have, or for what someone else has done for
us, then the universe acknowledges that and GIVES US MORE OF THE SAME.
That is one of the fundamental principles of the Bible and of The
Secret and other books like "The Science of Getting Rich," etc., etc.
It all has to do with the Law of Attraction, which God set in motion
at the begining. And an attitude of gratitude actually attracts MORE
of the good into our lives.
We must learn to say "thank you" and be truly grateful for what we
have, and then, the universal law of attraction says we can have MORE
of it.
And of course, it works the other way around. If we always think
about our PROBLEMS, then we will attract more of those problems into
our lives.
But of course, the "attitude of gratitude" short circuits this
problem, and attracts more abundance into our lives.
I am very thankful that God is opening my eyes on these subjects more
and more. As the Apostle Paul so wisely stated, we should think on
"whatever things are good, whatever things are pure...." If we do
that, then we will attract more of the good into our lives.
Come to think of it, Paul had another word of wisdom that escaped me
until just now. He said that whatever state he found himself in, he
was "therewith content," and could actually REJOICE in the midst of
his adversities.
It seems like Paul knew these truths millenia ago, and only now are we
beginning to rediscover them.
Which brings to mind something out of Joe Vitale's story. Joe was not
always the wealthy internet marketer and success coach that he is
today. At one point in his life, he was flat broke and living out of
his car.
Then, he began to discover the Law of Attraction, found things to give
thanks for in his dire cir***stances, began to think positive instead
of negative thoughts, and the rest is history.
As Mr. Armstrong said over and over again, we are to be "teachers in
the world tomorrow." He said that teaching is actually the highest
calling one can attain to. Especially when we are to teach the right
way of life.
But, in order to become teachers THEN, we must be good STUDENTS NOW.
There is no way around it. In order to teach, we must first learn
God's way of life ourselves. We can't teach that which we do not know
or understand.
So, let's be good students in this life. Let's learn how to be
grateful. Let's learn to love. Let's learn to say we are sorry. and
let's learn to forgive.
In fact, it might be a good idea to write these phrases down.
Memorize them, and inculcate them into your life. And that will be
the first step upon the road of learning God's way of GIVE and
forsaking this world's evil way of GET.
John
