The Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell You (23 page)

Everything happens for a reason,

You are untouchable by others, and

You are the Creator of your experiences,

then you understand how life works, you are assured of your inclination to succeed, and whenever the unexpected happens you simply take it in stride, knowing that sometimes in life you must take one step back to take many more forward.

So, forgetting how things appear—since appearances are the product of thoughts, beliefs, and vibes—the person who comes into a million dollars, or loses it, does so entirely on his own as the outer world is ultimately mirrored by his inner world. He will then keep that money, grow it, or lose it based on the energetic financial vibe he maintains. Every stroke of luck, however good or bad, every fortune or misfortune, every twist and turn in the plot of his life,
no matter who else
was involved and no matter what role they played, is self-created. Finally knowing this, anyone can deliberately change his “luck”!

Life is not 10 percent what you make it and 90 percent how you take it! It’s 100 percent what you make it.

Case Study #2

We’ll use another financial hypothetical, again for simplistic, quantitative illustration purposes, although it works exactly the same for love, health, happiness, or whatever your heart now desires. Take an entrepreneurial tycoon with a net worth (financial vibe) of $1 million who one year, because of a few uncharacteristically optimistic thoughts, overshot her goals and projections and increased her net worth to $1.7 million.
If her vibe remained unchanged at $1 million,
the $700,000 surplus will eventually “vanish.” In this make-believe example, let’s say the surplus is “taken” in a subsequent investment, naïvely entered into under fraudulent pretenses—which, of course, could only happen if this was
consistent with her other life vibes
. Even though there was an indisputable “bad guy,” a crook in the mix, the true cause of the decrease in her worth would be her lower vibe,
not the “bad guy”!
The “victim” and “thief” attracted each other because they each believed in and needed the other to achieve manifestations that matched their corresponding vibes.

To flip the equation, this is also how
every
fortune was made and how every wonderful thing has ever happened to anyone. First, there’s someone who believes, “It could happen to me,” “I’m smart enough,” “I deserve it,” “God favors me,” “I’ve paid my dues,” “My tea leaves told me I’d be rich” … again, the rationale is irrelevant. Second, the one who so believes—not just claims to believe but
truly believes
—without contradiction
and who physically shows up regularly
will legitimately, or illegitimately, according to her own beliefs, amass a fortune.

Galling, huh? At least at first, anyway. Gone are all excuses, forevermore. Yet empowering, too! Thrilling! Fantastic! What could possibly be better? What could possibly be easier? Don’t like your lot in life?
Change it!
Think it, feel it, expect it, act as if, show up, and prepare to be astounded.

Though none of this, as I stated previously, excuses the poor behavior of the “bad guy,” nor does it mean he shouldn’t be criminally dealt with. Nor should such a swindle be viewed as deserved or the “victim” considered at fault, as you will soon read.

Depending on where your creations have taken you so far in this lifetime, these ideas may be insulting or painful at first, yet the truth is your salvation. It will restore your power and give you renewed hope. And please consider: this book is merely the messenger. As a doctor who explains AIDS does not justify it, endorse it, or deny that it’s a hideous disease, she merely explains it, so are these merely descriptions of the unbending, nonjudgmental logistics behind all time-space creations. There’s also no such thing as an innocent villain, and I’ll reiterate that it is absolutely not okay that they violate others, no matter how the stage was set. Nevertheless, the implications of how life truly unfolds are absolutely staggering—and diametrically opposed to the “old” worldview virtually everyone who’s ever lived has had.

It’s fantastically easier, and politically preferable, to believe there are evil people doing evil things and that they will be punished in hell for eternity by the devil who goaded them on in the first place. It’s also far easier to believe that you have been a victim of other people who took advantage of you than a victim of your own naïveté or curiosity. At least it used to be easier to believe such explanations, except that now you’re waking up and there’s pretty much no going back.

There are no evil people, just lost people who do evil things. There are also sick people. Warped people. Deranged people. Lots of different people, yet all of them once set out just like you did, a “God Particle,” to find their way through the jungles of time and space. Every single one of them of good intent yet some so fundamentally confused or new to time and space that they behave horrifically. The difference between you and them might boil down to you having lived thousands or tens of thousands more lifetimes, whereas they may be true babes, utterly terrified, with no defense mechanisms developed yet but hatred, anger, contempt, manipulation, coercion, and violence. It’s not as if in life, between two people, all other things remain equal. Nothing else is ever equal.

More than everyone else, even, those who are lost need love. Help. Guidance. Patience. Yet very likely, if they’ve strayed too far from truth, this lifetime will not nearly be long enough for them to find balance and clarity. They won’t be safe, either for themselves or for others who similarly believe the world is an evil place. They’ll need rehabilitation, ideally in a nurturing, supportive environment, yet if society
believes
this is out of reach, emotionally or financially, prisons and institutions will have to suffice.

No matter how few lifetimes one has had in the jungles, all of us are ancient gladiators of love and joy. Similarly, no matter people’s physical age, or the age of a young child or infant in the world, they’re
ancient
. And the reasons for suffering are innumerable.

When horrible things happen to the most innocent of lives,

Perhaps, just maybe, it’s because an ancient gladiator carried over unfinished business from a prior life … or

Perhaps she placed herself on a certain “stage” around certain people so that others wouldn’t have to … or

Maybe there was initially an opportunity to prevent the violation, if she chose to be involved, that didn’t ultimately “play out”… or

Maybe, however brief her present lifetime, she had already achieved what she was there for, and its sad ending played a much smaller role for her than it did for her survivors, while enabling them to live through their own chosen lessons … or
