Dear Friends and Loved Ones: This has been a magical year. It seems that in some ways I have learned more about myself and the anatomy of reality than I ever have before.
After studying and applying, with clients and myself, a number of advanced spiritual development techniques, I (and many of my clients) began to have amazing experiences.
One experience of mine consisted of having my entire life flash before my eyes. This is something that is supposed to happen just before you die, so I guess I will consider it a new birth into a glorious new life.
I actually had every single incident in this life go by - every conversation - every happening. It was incredible. They ALL went by. They did not go by as a blur. They were all crystal clear, and they all clicked by one-by-one in a matter of moments. It was an impossible occurrence from a humanoid viewpoint, and yet it happened.
As great as this was, however, it was simply a prelude to what was to come.
Part of the spiritual know-how I was using was the power of doing anything possible to FEEL FABULOUS most, if not all, of the time - based on the idea that like vibrations attract like vibrations.
A second part had to do with the idea of contrasting realities. Suffering and being in pain are, of course, in full contrast to feeling fabulous.
I began to experientially discover that all of our actions in life are based on two basic motivations, the avoidance of pain and the seeking of pleasure. Thus, there seem to be two primary ways we catapult ourselves into more of the life we want. We build up our excitement to a point where we leap forward into our desire, or we experience the absence of what we want to be so painful we will do anything to get out of the pain.
I investigated these concepts for several weeks with my dear friend, Hal Seyle. Part of this investigation consisted of applying techniques I created.
After immersing myself in this study, including what caused these contrasting life occurrences, I suddenly snapped into a contrast that was severe in the extreme.
I suddenly awoke in bed to find myself in mental, spiritual and physical pain so intense that it threatened to short circuit every sensory perception I was connected to. I had a migraine headache so severe that death seemed preferable to enduring it. My back was out in three positions - at the neck, in the middle and at the base of the spine. Each point screamed in pain. A seemingly uncontrolled and unlimited series of mental images were flooding my mind, seeming to prove that I was everything I hated and detested.
I had enough! The contrast and pain reached a level that infuriated me. With every fiber of my being I screamed, "That's enough! I FEEL FABULOUS!" I began to insist, with the most powerful intention I could muster, that I felt fabulous - not that I would feel fabulous, but that I did right now.
I would like to say that all the pain suddenly disappeared, but in truth it did not. It took what seemed like an intolerable number of hours. With all of my strength I continued to insist, "I FEEL FABULOUS," as I ardently searched for anything to confirm it was even partially true. For what seemed like an eternity there was nothing but pain, and then it happened.
My migraine literally exploded out of my head and was gone. Next, my body bounced a foot into the air. There were three loud and rapid cracks as my spine snapped back into place. My body fell back onto the bed and I felt fabulous. All the pain was gone and my consciousness began to expand outward.
What happened next is beyond the power of words to describe. I began to see and experience millions of universes of reality. The way I had seen my life flash before my eyes was the way I now saw the details of billions of different lives.
I saw a man writing histories and from his pen and his consciousness I saw them spring into existence, as if from the hand of God.
I saw entire realities spring from one being and I saw all beings simultaneously spring from a conscious all.
I experienced the one being all and the all being one.
It was amazing and it all seemingly sprang from an unrelenting insistence that I felt fabulous, despite any sensation or any thought that said I did not. Applying and sharing this and other truths in workshops and one-to-one counseling has resulted in amazing experiences for all of us. Turbulent relationships turned back into love in a matter of hours. Joy and abundance replaced misery and fear of scarcity. It's been amazing, and it continues to go on!
Love;
John and Carolyn Rafanello
When you have wonderful experiences such as the ones described in this letter, there comes a desire to share them with others. However, hopefully, there also comes the realization that you can only share what people are willing and able to receive. With that in mind, may I invite you to experience things like this. May I invite you to just simply and lightly decide that they will happen. Having done that, I invite you to let go of any expectations of how, when, and in what form these magical and wonderful experience will occur. Just decide they will, and let go.
Next I invite you to do the WonderTech Feeling Fabulous Exercises and just see what happens. Let whatever happens or doesn't happen be OK. Let them be a reflection of who and what you are right now. Be it a big win or a little one, cherish it and realize that you are on your way to magic that will make even all of this a mere footnote in history.
