| A forty-two
year-old woman with lung cancer (continued)....
You can imagine the effect this news had on her and,
immediately thereafter, on her two children. She had extensive
experience with meditation, which she used to penetrate the
depths of her reserves and resolves. There she found the
determination to live to see her children through college, and
she gave them the intense, heart-felt promise to achieve that
goal. In her core, she also found the absolute need to have
fun in life, so she asked her children to join her in the
commitment to enjoying her life and theirs, regardless of the
cancer.
She had always wanted a motorcycle and, because they lived
in a wooded area with dozens of snowmobile trails close to
their home, she proposed to the children that she buy each of
them a small four-wheeled ATV and a trail bike for herself.
They agreed, and that same day, the three vehicles were in the
back of their pickup truck. Thereafter, the three rode daily
in the forest behind their home, greatly enjoying life with
each other.
She continued her daily meditation practice, and, one day,
in the silence of her meditation, she saw a Honda Interceptor
Grand Prix racing motorcycle painted white, with blue trim.
She looked down at herself, and saw that she was dressed in
matching white, blue-trimmed motorcycle leathers with a white,
blue-trimmed helmet under her arm! In the hand of the arm
holding the helmet were white, blue-fringed motorcycle gloves.
She strapped on the helmet, slipped on the gloves, and mounted
that incredible, 145-mile-per-hour machine. Sitting astride
it, checking out the instrumentation, she noticed that each
handlebar had a blue button. When she pressed them, a blue
laser beam leapt out from each handlebar and converged
fifty feet in front of the bike. She knew that this was her
cancer-killer. Three times daily thereafter, she sat in
meditation for twenty to thirty
minutes riding around inside
her body, lasering every cancer cell she saw and watching them
blow up in front of her.
All of her symptoms of illness disappeared within weeks and
within six months there was no clinical or x-ray
evidence of her cancer! She was then able to keep her promise
to her children,
and ten years later, three months after her younger child
graduated from college, she presented with the symptoms of a
mass in her abdomen that, on exploration, proved to be an
inoperable cancer of the ovary. In the preceding ten years,
she had not only raised her two wonderful children, she had
become a social/political activist, earning the respect of
many. Her friends and supporters became a steady stream of
visitors in her hospital room. She met each one of them with
an energetic, loving smile and conversation and then, one
night, she died quite suddenly, at peace with herself and the
world. |
