PRAYER/MEDITATION TO STOP OBAMA

June 13th, 2010 by Yank Elliott | No Comments | Filed in Miracles, Alternative Thinking, Politics, Religious, Spiritual

Skull & Swords

America is being destroyed by President Obama and his group of Chicago cronies, aided and abetted by leftwing radicals on both sides of the political isle in Congress. Most Americans did not intend for this to happen when they voted this Socialist/Communist mob into office, they just hated George Bush so much they didn’t care who replaced him. Now, the problem is, how do we stop the destruction?

Here is how a small group of concerned people can change the course of our country with a little persistent effort. I know this will work because most of this procedure has worked for me in several life threatening situations. In this article, I will show you a simple way to stop the present destruction of America which anyone can easily use. There is much more to learn about these ideas; if anyone wishes additional information, or an answer to a question, please e-mail me at newideas@alternate-choice.com

The plan I propose, and ask your participation, uses parts of several different ideas used in the past 60 or 70 years. I will show you some proofs of how these methods can work. I know you won’t just take my word that anything is workable, and that’s OK. I’m skeptical of all new and different things, as well. When I first started using these things, I had no idea what would happen-I just knew I needed help, so I began to try some strange ideas. When they began to work, I tried more; that’s how I found out how these things work, and how I came to absolutely believe in them.

 This plan includes elements of Quantum Mechanics, personal assets like your subconscious mind, all kinds of prayer, meditation, and personal consciousness. The ideas I used in the beginning had no proof to support them. Only some years later did I begin to find where they had proven themselves in several incidents of International significance. The first proof I found related to the power of concentrated prayer used by the Bible College of Wales, founded by Rees Howells in Swansea, Wales. Howells and his group were deeply committed to intercessory prayer for their evangelistic efforts. I’m not involved in evangelism, or in any organized religious effort. I do believe in God, and in the power of any way to communicate with God, the Universe, such as prayer, meditation, Voodoo chants, your sub-conscious or whatever one wishes to use; the principle is the same.

 The Bible College used Intercessory Prayer in a number of International situations with excellent success. One principle they stressed was many people directing prayer at a situation while gathered together in one place at the same time. What they did during the Dunkirk catastrophe in World War II is detailed here.

 As soon as it became clear Allied forces were going to be pushed to the sea, and possibly 500,000 of them might be annihilated, Rees Howells assembled the Bible College group for five hours every night praying for the deliverance of the Allied Forces. In the early days of June, 1940, almost all the trapped troops were evacuated to England using all kinds of small boats. Some quotes by England’s military leaders were:

 Lieutenant General H.R. Pownall, Chief of Staff for the BEF Commander in Chief, wrote in his diary, “The evacuation from Dunkirk was surely a miracle.”

 Admiral Sir William James of the Royal Navy said, “Thank God for that miracle at Dunkirk!”

 Winston Churchill, in his address to Parliament, called it, “A miracle of deliverance!”

 Then, almost at the end of this article there is some information about how the Bible College participated in helping to end the Battle of Britain in England’s favor. The German air force had superior numbers and had bombed London and surrounding shipping facilities relentlessly, day and night, for many days. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the Germans broke off a powerful air attack and returned to Germany to come back no more. Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Commander-in-chief of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain said, “At the end of the battle one had the sort of feeling that there had been some special Divine intervention to alter some sequence of events which would of otherwise occurred.”

Further  proof of the power of focused prayer comes from the results reported for the efforts of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who initially advocated use of focused prayer to effect changes in peaceful conditions in specific localities. Its proof was shown in several studies during the Israeli-Lebanese War in the early 1980’s, and other studies.

Putting the Maharishi Effect in perspective, to raise the consciousness level on any particular subject in the US requires only about 1,700 people (the square root of one percent of the population). Obviously, this is something that can easily be accomplished. The only problem with using any of these focused prayer/meditation ideas is getting together in one place. My past experience indicates a similar effect can be achieved by taking action at about the same time every day during the prayer period.

Having said all of this so you will believe it is possible, here are the very simple things I hope you will agree to do, beginning as soon as you read this:

1. Pray/meditate for about two minutes four times a day, if you can. This would be morning, noon, evening, and night (bedtime).

2. Precede your pryer/meditation by saying to yourself, “God, the Universe, please do whatever is necessary to stop Obama, and those around him in our Washington Government, from destroying America, our way of life, and our freedom.”

3. Pray/meditate at least four times, “Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama.” God will know what you want because you have already stated your desire.

4. That’s all there is to it; just do this at the approximate times we mentioned every day until the destruction stops, or, at least until the election of November 2, 2010.

5. Ask other people to read this article and join with us. 1,700 people from all over the US is not a lot of people, so it is very possible.

This is powerful! I say TRY IT; what is there to lose?

  

************

Part of the destruction of America is the discouraging of small business by strangling government regulation, unknown tax increases, and no available credit. This still leaves open the very smallest American businesses, like Mom and Pop and the home based entrepreneur. Generally, these are not subject to the oppressive pressure being placed on the larger small business operations. With real unemployment near 20%, see how you can help yourself

Your Most Powerful Personal Asset, The Subconscious

September 9th, 2009 by Yank Elliott | No Comments | Filed in Book Review, Miracles, Alternative Thinking, business

ocracokedawn

One of the missions listed on this blog is advocating unconventional methods of solving problems. Most of these different ideas have been around for years, some since the earliest times in human history, still, most people don’t use them. There is a human tendency to shy away from anything different, perhaps because of deep rooted impulses to always confront a different situation as danger. All the flags go up?a gigantic prehistoric monster is within ten feet and about to pounce! We react, without thinking, to avoid this attack. These ingrained reactions are difficult to overcome, so we instantly ignore everything that seems different.

 Because this reaction against different is so pervasive, does it not make sense to give yourself an advantage over others by trying things they will not try? The most powerful personal asset we have is our subconscious, a little understood part of our mind. The mention of it usually brings up the term hypnotism. With properly trained practitioners, hypnosis may be useful for treating mental and physical difficulties. But hypnosis is not the only benefit derived from the subconscious. There are almost limitless personal situations where knowledge and training about how to use this incredible ability can give you a serious advantage over all around you. This is a significant article you should read, study, and follow up with all the references given. Your personal prosperity is at stake; do not let this great system we all possess go unused.

 There will be a series of articles about various unconventional problem solutions that can put you way out in front of everyone else, if you use them. A proper discussion of the subconscious includes a book by Joseph Murphy which has meant a lot to me for the last 17 years, since I first found it. I was in a very bad situation with no way I could see to get out. Then I stumbled upon the book reviewed here. A whole new world opened for me; perhaps you will see these ideas as I did, not to be afraid of, but to embrace and constantly search for new ways to use them.

 Book Review: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

 The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Revised Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

by Joseph Murphy, Revised by Ian McMahan

 List Price $7.99 (Available from Amazon.com for $7.99.)

Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages

Publisher: Bantam; Revised edition (January 2, 2001)

ISBN: 0553583182

 This is an important book everyone should read and study several times. Perhaps you won’t be able to use all the ideas explained in it. What each reader must do is pick what may be helpful to them and develop a method around that thought which they can use to further their own objectives. The book is written in a flexible manner so that anyone can adapt the author’s thinking to individual needs.

 The methods explained here really work; at least, they have worked over and over for me since I first read the book 17 years ago. I read an earlier version at the lowest point in my entire life. Two or three friends kept me from drowning, but this book provided me with the framework to rebuild my life. Use of my subconscious allowed me to get through this very bad time.

 Although there are many references to portions of the Holy Bible, and mention of prayerful aspects of the subconscious, this is not a religious book unless you try to construe it that way. My own use of the book was to discover ways some of the information could help my personal needs. Most useful to me have been turning over problems for solutions and using the prayerful aspects of the subconscious to improve the health of someone close to me who was gravely ill.

 Dr. Murphy’s practical application of new principles is subject to all the negative thoughts of the naysayers. Anything new they can’t even consider; from their negative viewpoint they would rather prepare to give up and just accept the ultimate failure of the human life system. It is encouraging that an overwhelming number of reviews on Amazon’s Website are very favorable. Perhaps there really are a few positive people after all.

 Some conservative religious people will also disparage the book. It has many quotes from the Christian bible explained in a far different way than you will get in any mainstream church. But religion is what it is. Those who believe a strict interpretation of the bible and other holy writings will disregard what is taught here. That’s unfortunate because the subconscious is a powerful tool available to all, rich or poor. Application of these principles does not guarantee anything. Nothing in life is certain. The best we can do is use every asset we have to accomplish a happy and prosperous life for us and those we hold dear. Our subconscious is one such powerful asset.

 Dr. Murphy developed the thoughts in The Power of Your Subconscious Mind during 28 years as Minister-Director of the Church of Divine Science. He was a well-known authority on mysticism and mind dynamics. Dr. Murphy had the unique ability to incorporate the teachings and beliefs of major world religions in practical systems anyone can use to improve their daily life.

 A thought repeated often throughout the book is, “For as a person thinketh in his subconscious mind, so is he.” That’s what this book is all about so remember it and we’ll now look at a few ways your subconscious can be a great help in every aspect of your life. You don’t have to use everything, nor do you have to perform every operation exactly as the book describes it. Use the ideas you need and develop your own technique so that it fits your needs.

 Here are a few areas of interest along with actions that go with them:

 The Treasure House Within

  • Avoid expressions that begin with “I can’t…”
  • Changes in your thinking have the power to change your destiny.

 How Your Mind Works

  • Think good, and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.
  • Never say, “I can’t.” Substitute, “I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind.”

 The Miracle-Working Power of Your Subconscious

  • Prior to sleep, turn over a specific request to your subconscious mind and prove its miracle-working power to yourself.
  • Consciously affirm: “I believe that the subconscious power that gave me this desire is now fulfilling it through me.”

 Mental Healings in Ancient Times

  • All disease originates in the mind.
  • There is only one process of healing and that is faith.

 Mental Healings in Modern Times

  • Develop a definite plan for turning over your requests or desires to your subconscious mind.
  • Believe in perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth, and divine guidance.

 Practical Techniques in Mental Healings

  • Your subconscious will bring to pass any picture held in the mind backed by faith.
  • What you decree and feel as true will come to pass.

 The Tendency of the Subconscious is Lifeward

  • Your subconscious is the builder of your body and is on the job twenty-four hours a day. You interfere with its life-giving pattern by negative thinking.
  • What you affirm consciously and feel as true will be made manifest in your mind, body, and affairs. Affirm the good, and enter into the joy of living.

  • One reason many don’t have enough money is they condemn money. What you condemn takes wings and flies away.
  • There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mind. You should heal yourself of this mental conflict or malady at once.

 Your Subconscious Mind as a Partner in Success

  • Find out what you love to do, then do it. If you don’t know your true expression, ask for guidance, and the lead will come.
  • The power of sustained imagination draws forth the miracle-working powers of your subconscious mind.

 How Scientists Use the Subconscious Mind

  • To solve a difficult problem get all the information you can from research and from others. If no solution comes turn the problem over to your subconscious mind prior to sleep and the answer will come.
  • Any mental picture, backed by faith and perseverance, will come to pass through the miracle-working power of your subconscious.

 Your Subconscious and the Wonders of Sleep

  • Your future is in your mind now, based on your habitual thinking and beliefs.
  • When writing, working on an invention, or some other complicated project, speak to your subconscious mind at night and claim boldly that its wisdom, intelligence, and power are revealing to you the perfect solution. Expect wonders.

 Your Subconscious Mind and Marital Problems

  • Project love, peace, harmony, and goodwill and your marriage will grow more beautiful and wonderful through the years.
  • Pray together and you will stay together.

 Your Subconscious Mind and Your Happiness

  • You can rise victorious over any defeat and realize the desires of your heart though the marvelous power of your subconscious mind.
  • Give thanks for all your blessings several times a day.

 Your Subconscious Mind and Harmonious Human Relations

  • Do not think ill of another for to do so is to think ill of yourself.
  • The good you do, the kindness proffered, the love and good you send forth will all come back to you multiplied in many ways. Another person cannot annoy you or irritate you except if you permit them to.

 How to Use Your Subconscious Mind for Forgiveness

  • God, or Life, does not judge or punish you. You do this to yourself by the subconscious effects of your false beliefs, negative thinking, and self-condemnation.
  • When you pray for guidance and right action, take what comes. Realize life is very good and there is no cause for self-pity, criticism, or hatred.

 How Your Subconscious Removes Mental Blocks

  • You form subconscious habit patterns by repeating a thought or action over and over until it establishes tracks in your subconscious mind and becomes automatic.
  • The only obstacle to your success and achievement is your own thought or mental image.

 How to Use Your Subconscious Mind to Remove Fear

  • Do the thing you are afraid to do and the death of fear is certain.
  • Fear is a negative thought in your mind. Replace it with a constructive thought.

 How to Stay Young in Spirit Forever

  • You are as young, as strong, and as useful as you think you are.
  • You grow old when you cease to dream and when you lose interest in life.

  It may save you some time to know which parts I have found most helpful during the last 17 years and still today:

 The Miracle-Working Power of Your Subconscious

  • Practical Techniques in Mental Healings
  • Your Subconscious and the Wonders of Sleep
  • Your Subconscious Mind and Your Happiness

 These additional techniques are ones I think will be most important for me to develop and help me achieve my own personal goals. Perhaps they will help you, as well.

 Practical Techniques in Mental Healings

  • Your subconscious will bring to pass any picture held in the mind backed by faith.
  • What you decree and feel as true will come to pass.

 How to Get the Results You Want

  • Think and plan independently of traditional methods.
  • The feeling of health produces health, the feeling of wealth produces wealth. How do you feel?

 How to Use the Power of Your Subconscious for Wealth

  • Decide to be wealthy the easy way, with the infallible aid of your subconscious mind.
  • The block to wealth is in your own mind. Destroy that block now by getting on good mental terms with everyone.

 Your  Right to Be Rich

  • One reason many don’t have enough money is they condemn money. What you condemn takes wings and flies away.
  • There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mind. You should heal yourself of this mental conflict or malady at once.

 This last subconscious ability is important to every one of us, especially now. Do you realize we are flirting with another Great Depression, which lasted 12 years, and only ended with World War II? The entire economic stage is in constant change right now, and nobody knows what may happen. Whatever the future may bring, it will be different. There may or may not be jobs available—those that are there could require a different kind of training, and they may pay nothing close to previous jobs. This begs the question, “What can I do, in such circumstances, to protect my income and my family?”

 We’re advocating a home based business, or other small business operation. There are many thingsyou can do in such a business. You need to have a passion for what you are doing. After working at a real job for years, how will you find a business you can successfully operate? Look at every idea you like. Don’t try to do exactly as others are doing. Put your personality and your knowledge of the idea to work. Find something about the idea that everyone else has missed. When you do you will succeed. Go out on a limb.  Stop worrying about how to make money for someone else.  Find something you like to do that people will pay for, and make your own way.  With the Internet, it’s easier than ever. Forget Corporate America.  Every single company out there would like for you to give them all of your entire life for free!  That’s a fact.  They only grudgingly pay because they have to.

 One home based business opportunity you should explore is Strong Future International (SFI), free to join, but offering many income streams, just like all wealthy people have. See how SFI can help you http://ow.ly/oyUZ.

Book Review: Passion Beyond Pain

July 13th, 2009 by Yank Elliott | No Comments | Filed in Book Review, Miracles, Alternative Thinking, Positive Attitude

Passion Beyond Pain (Hardcover)

by John Inzerillo

 List Price: $29.95 (Available from Amazon for $25.76)

Hardcover: 232 pages

Publisher: Humanics Publishing Group (July 2, 2008)

ISBN-10: 0893344532

ISBN-13: 978-0893344535

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reviewed by Yank Elliott, MBA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The author represents what some would call an unconventional approach to cancer treatment, especially the aspects of major pain so often associated with this disease. I have had personal contact with him, as he treats one of the four most significant members of my family. A few days ago we remarked about how comforting it is to have a session with him; no matter what happens, we always leave with positive feelings. Now I know why this is.

 My research into his background led me to an article in the December, 2006, issue of The New Physician. It was “EYE CONTACT: Disengaged doctors and the death of hope,” by John Inzerillo, M.D. It is about a frightening experience the author and his family suffered while searching for treatment of a serious medical condition affecting one of their children. At the end of the article he had this to say, in part:

 Referring to one of the doctors treating his son, “His attitude is one reason I decided, well before my son’s illness, to move from my busy oncology practice to one where the pace is more human; where I can look my patients in the eye and shake their hands before I sit down to listen. It is a place where I have time to review the chart before I walk into the exam room, giving me the freedom to look at the patient and others with whom I am sharing space and experiences. I can get a better feel for where my patients and their family members are coming from, and where their minds may be taking them. Then I can do my best to reassure them.

It seems strange when patients tell you, just after you’ve broken the news about their stage IV lung cancer and what that means, that they feel better after talking to you. I believe it’s because they’ve found a way to walk away with at least a little hope.” And this is exactly how he is; his patients always feel encouraged, regardless of their condition.

The author proposes many unique ways to reduce the pain and stress associated with various forms of cancer. Writing is one way anyone can approach pain management. Even extreme pain has been shown to be helped by writing about it. Patients who wrote experienced much better sleep habits and better function when awake.

Our breath is a useful tool for pain control. Breathing in may emphasize pain, but it also increases blood flow carrying oxygen which helps overcome pain. While inhaling tell yourself you are receiving from the universe what you need for total healing. On the exhale, imagine you are releasing all your problems back into the universe to be destroyed.

Pain management is, in some sense, similar to other demanding problems of our daily lives. We all force our bodies to do things we really don’t want to do, none of which are healthy for us when done over long periods of time. Making ourselves get up and go to jobs we hate, often requiring huge amounts of energy, sets our minds up to accept a pain-racked body. We all have places in our physical constitution where we store tensions all day long. These are sick places of pain that will only heal when we take measures to discharge these tensions from our bodies.

The book describes a little-known technique of balancing one’s Chakras so as to bring life into balance. Chakra is Sanskrit for wheel; our “wheels” are near certain ganglia in our central nervous system. You will see how to accomplish this in the book.

Another way to gain control of pain is to go to some quiet place and get rid of all the noise in your mind. This allows focusing on getting rid of fatigue, even after intensely hard work. You can now try to reduce the effort in anything. Try to  develop a relaxed and easy attitude about everything, including pain, and often you will generate an unimpeded flow of energy that feels good. At this point recheck your body to find some place that is entirely pain free. It may be very small, such as a little toe or a finger nail. Determine how big an area is pain free, then imagine expanding it to cover areas with pain—make it big enough to cover the entire area.

Some form of meditation is required to accomplish many things described here. Use it to choose keeping things the way they are and just accept what you have, or you can decide to try and change the situation. This requires venturing into unknown areas which often generate fear of not knowing whether we succeed or fail. Fear of failure is a big obstacle to our ability to heal. Pain generates chronic fatigue; since there is tremendous energy stored in pain, if it can be redirected from dread and agony to hope and excitement a whole new world opens with new dreams. To help with your meditation use the Internet to find many different ways to do this. Choose one and try it—if it works, fine. If it does not work, try another. Many experienced counselors say, “Start where you are. Things will unfold as you sow these seeds of emotional release.”

These methods help to rearrange the concept of pain so it isn’t perceived as the enemy, but as a point of possibility and transformation, not necessarily to become pain-free, but rather restoring a sense of balance that allows coping with pain. Do not blame anything beyond your control for your pain. This just says you have to accept things as they are and there’s no way to ever change anything. You do need to accept things as they are right at this moment; this allows you to escape emotional involvement in your pain. You can now make the conscious decision to just allow what is happening to happen and not burn up all the energy trying to change present reality.

A very effective way to help yourself is to go into your community and help other people. Seldom is there a situation where there aren’t people much worse off than you. Helping these people takes you away from dwelling on your own problems. You will still have pain, but you will realize you did not cause your pain and you will get a great amount of satisfaction from helping others work through their own situations.

This book discusses many other methods of Yoga, Meditation, exercise, and more. Many of the  ideas discussed can be applied to other situations like career problems or business and financial situations. This is a read well worth your time.

Miracles Are Real

September 10th, 2007 by Yank Elliott | 1 Comment | Filed in Miracles, Alternative Thinking

This morning, September 10, 2007, NBC News featured an interview with a couple having a miracle to share. The young wife had some sort of cardiac problem and was comatose for about two weeks. Her husband remained at her side the entire time all the while praying for her.  Doctors told him on a daily basis there was no hope for his wife’s recovery, ever. Life support systems were the only reason she was still alive, he was told. Realizing his wife would not want to live in that condition, the husband finally authorized removing her support equipment. He remained at her side, expecting her to die at any time, but continuing to ask for her recovery.

But she refused to die. Lo and behold, after about five days, the wife began to move around, woke up, and said she was terribly hungry and wanted Mexican food, a favorite of hers. Doctors asked her many questions relating to her life and her family and she answered all correctly. After a period of therapy for various problems she was able to appear in an NBC studio and seemed quite normal, though she says she still has therapy for a few small problems.

Doctors never acknowledge miracles, but they have to consider this was close to one. I know miracles can happen. I was in a similar situation with the love of my life. Doctors told me every day for two weeks she would die and there was no hope. I refused to accept any of this and organized a prayer group among friends and via Internet. She was placed in a special section for dying patients and was expected to die at any time. Two or three days after removal of life support she, too, began to move around and asked for food and water. Her mental faculties recovered quickly, just like the woman on NBC. Before passing into her coma, my lady overheard a doctor telling me she was going to die; she said nothing at the time. About two AM the next morning she asked if the doctor had said she would die, and I said, “Yes.”

When she then said, “What are we going to do?”, my answer was, “We’re going to make a miracle for you.” And, with the help of God, my constant personal prayers, and prayers from many people I don’t even know, that’s exactly what happened—a miracle. And, of course, the doctors just said she was going to recover with no mention of anything like a miracle.

There are miracles, they happen every day. Only the most negative mind will deny their existence. I believe anyone who sets their mind to making a miracle has some chance for success. It helps to know all you can about miracles. Perhaps some of you will share your experiences here as a “comment” or ”post.”

Meanwhile we can all expand our knowledge of miracles by reading some books on the subject which you can find here http://astore.amazon.com/a-choice-20/103-0300155-4687029?node=6&page=1.
