As I promised in my last blog, I want to expand on what has happened as a result of Valerie’s experience with the Unlimited Futures Core Course.

We have been providing the Core Course for over 20 years in person, and have had thousands of people experience it with amazing results.  We have seen people heal themselves from numerous conditions, such as heart problems (see Bob Cargill’s video on our web site), cancer, diabetes and numerous other things.  We have known that it is a healing, strengthening process, which when practiced on a daily basis, gives the mind and body the rest it needs to start healing itself.

We have noticed that for almost everyone some healing starts to take place.  Sometimes a person would have a scar from an accident in childhood and notice that it turned red or maybe had a bit of swelling, and then the scar that they had most of their life would go away.  We have observed so many of these things over the years that we have been providing our Core Course.  But, we knew we could not say that it heals anything, and we certainly did not want people to just do the course if they had medical problems that needed medical attention.  Therefore, we have not emphasized the healing aspect of the course.

What we have focused our attention on is helping healthy people become healthier and successful people become more successful.  We knew that working with this process on a daily basis refines the energy in the entire mind/body system and moves one into a much more advanced level of functioning and experience.  This is a level of functioning that few people ever experience in their entire life.  It simply doesn’t happen without providing the mind/body system with the opportunity to strengthen itself.  This strengthening process automatically refines the energy in the entire system, making it possible for the conscious mind to merge with universal intelligence.  This process activates our intuitive abilities, the ability to intuitively see the big picture and understand complex systems.  It is something that we could not possibly experience without refining the energy in the mind/body system.

We knew there were many things available for people with health issues to get help, but we are not familiar with any other program that provides this amazing growth opportunity.  Therefore, we have focused on developing the human potential, discovering that there is so much more that we can experience in life, and it is possible for all of us to grow into that kind of experience.

What we have always known is that everyone simply starts where they are in their life and development, and grows from there.  What we have learned from Valerie and Gary’s experience with the Core Course, is how valuable it is for someone who is recovering from the treatment of a health problem to integrate a new life style into their life to help them recover their health and totally revitalize themselves.

Therefore, we will soon begin focusing much more attention on helping people who are recovering from an illness to totally change their lives.  First the system has to heal itself, which it will do, and then automatically it strengthens itself and moves one into a much more advanced level of functioning.  When one is recovering from an illness is the perfect time to choose to create a new way of life.

One of the things we ask you to do in the course is create a vision of what you want to create in your life.  A big part of Valerie’s vision was to be able to help people, who had experienced some of the things that she has been through, move through the recovery process rapidly and create better lives for themselves.  We are going to help her fulfill her vision by giving her the opportunity to help us create a new division of Unlimited Futures to help the people she so much wants to help.

We actually had the program to help people through health recovery and revitalization all along, but we now realize that we need to make people aware of it.  If you are interested in learning how to create greater health and a better life for yourself go to our products page and download absolutely free an introduction to our Core Course, and/or simply get the Core Course and get started changing your life now.

In my last 2 blogs and in my August Newsletter I have been telling you about the experiences of our former daughter-in-law and her husband.  If you have not read them, I would suggest that you read them before reading this.

To bring you a bit up to date, they had both experienced severe health problems which depleted their savings, caused them to lose their house and declare bankruptcy.  I told you about the husband’s recovery and the wonderful opportunity he has been able to create for himself in my last blog.

This week I want to share with you what has happened for our former daughter-in-law, her name is Valerie.  She participated in the Unlimited Futures Course many years ago when I had just started providing it. It was a great experience for her, she discovered that she wanted to be a writer, and things were unfolding for her.  Valerie and Dean’s son Terry decided to go their separate ways in 1991.  Valerie managed to get through the situation and create a good life for herself.  However, in her new life she had stopped working with the Unlimited Futures process, but her growth continued.  She lost weight and maintained her ideal weight.  She was also doing some writing and speaking and had become an artist.  Also at some point she became a minister.

She and her husband were living the good life when their health problems started to emerge.  It was about 10 years ago, when Valerie was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She went through all the chemo and other treatments, then found out that her doctor has missed something and she had to do it all over again.  This was a 7 year process for her.  She said she tried to go through the process with grace and did what she could to help others and she got through it.

She has now been cancer free for some time, but her energy had not returned and she said her mind was foggy, and with all the things that had happened she was trying to make some sense of it all through meditation when she got the message to get in touch with me, tell me what had happened and ask me about it.  That is when, as I told you before, we sent them the Unlimited Futures Core Course.  They started working with it immediately and they begin to feel the healing taking place right away. Her energy returned and her mind started to become much clearer. When they got through the 5^th session they decided to start over, and they said it was so much better the second time.

What happens is that we all start from where ever we are at the time and we grow, then the next time we do the course we are at a different place so we start from there and naturally grow even more and faster.  That is one of the things that I am so excited about in being able to provide the course in a form that people can own and work with over and over.  Each time you do the course you reach higher and higher levels of functioning and experience.  This is what everyone reported that did the course over and over when we provided it in person.

Now back to Valerie, they are both so grateful for the Core Course, that they express their gratitude in each of their reports.  And they are so totally excited about the new lives they have created for themselves.  They have both been able to create exactly what they chose for themselves in the first session.  Actually, the first session of the second time they did the course.

Valerie has always been a very caring and compassionate person, and what she wanted was to be able to help other people who had gone through the same things that she had experienced.  She told us that she knew how valuable this course could be for people in these circumstances, and she wanted to just share their story with others.

We agreed that the Unlimited Futures process, which we provide in the Core Course, could make a huge difference in the lives of people who are going through recovery from a serious illness.  Therefore, we have decided to create a new division of Unlimited Futures, which we will probably call the Recovery Division starting the first of next year.  This will be Valerie’s division.  She knows what people are feeling and how to help them.

Next time I will tell you more about the new division and how it will work.

If you are interested in learning more about the Unlimited Futures process, I have described it in detail in my book on Personal Growth. I have also created a CD, DVD, Companion Workbook and of course, the Core Course to help you.  They provide you with the perfect way to start your personal growth.  Once you start experiencing this growth process, we also provide courses that you can attend to accelerate this natural evolutionary process.

In my blog last week I told you about getting an e mail from our former daughter-in-law and the misfortune that she and her husband had experienced in 2009.  If you missed it, read it before reading this.

They started working with the Unlimited Futures Core Course in February.  They chose to do the sessions weekly, and sent me reports each week.  I have just finished reading over all of their weekly reports. I wish I could share them all with you, because they are so inspiring.  Their problems looked overwhelming to them for awhile, but they start feeling better and begin to see possibilities.  As they worked with the process on a daily basis they were healing, and it became apparent that they could start getting off some of the medications they had been on.  This was a challenge, but a clear choice and it worked out perfectly.  It was a process that I have seen many people go through when they started working with our Core Course.

Then circumstances and events started unfolding on their behalf.  As we release the stress and become more aware of whom we are on a deeper level, nature also starts to support us in amazing ways.  Our former daughter-in-law was able to get off most of her medications and, in her words, got her life back.  Her energy started increasing and her mind became much clearer.  She started seeing possibilities and became very clear about what she wanted to create for herself.

Her husband’s health was also returning.  The back problems went away and so did the sinus problems.  His energy started increasing and he begins to feel happy and joyous for the first time in months.  He became very clear about what he wanted to create in his life also.  When this happened, of course, opportunities begin to show up for bringing these desires into their lives.

Remember he said the most ideal thing would be to be able to retire, move to a warm climate, and work part time at something that he loved.  It turns out that he made a number of huge sales and received a bonus for the year, which brought their income up to a point that it became clear that they could afford to retire, move to a warm climate and do something that he loved.

They made a couple of trips down here to Naples Florida, their favorite place in all the world, and where they had hoped that they would someday be able to move to, and found a perfect house in a beautiful gated community with a pool and everything they wanted, that they could rent.

He also now has several opportunities for doing the work that he loves, either with his own business or with another company which will pay him a salary plus commission.  He will be able to retire with his full retirement package and has several options for making all the money they will need to live comfortable and reestablish themselves.

They rented the house and will be moving down here in October.  In my next blog I will tell you about what is working out for our former daughter-in-law to fulfill her vision of writing and helping people.  It is really exciting.  Be sure to check my blog next week.

This is a clear example of what happens when people start working with the Unlimited Futures Core Course.  Fortunately for most people, they do not have as much to overcome as our friends did, but where ever you are, and whatever you are experiencing in your life you can make it better, much better.  You can create a life of health, happiness and continued personal growth for yourself.

I have described the process that you can use to take charge of your life in my book on Personal Growth. I have also created a DVD, a Companion Workbook and a Relaxation/Visualization CD and the Core Course that I have told you about to help you in your growth.  Once you start experiencing this growth process, we also provide courses that you can attend to accelerate this natural evolutionary process.

The end of January this year I received an e mail from our former daughter-in-law.  She and Dean’s son parted ways in the late eighties.  I heard that she had remarried some time later, and several years ago she and her husband were vacationing in our area, and called us.  We all went out for dinner.  We liked her husband very much and they seemed very happy and really living the good life.

About a year later I got an e mail from her telling me that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was going through chemotherapy.  She seemed to be handling it well and sent out e mails to all her friends telling us about her progress on a regular basis.  After she finished her treatments I didn’t hear from her for over a year until I received the e mail in late January.

In this e mail she told me that they had experienced a really tough year.  Her dad had died, which was really hard on her since they were so close, and her mother moved near her in an assisted living place, and she was her primary caregiver.  Her husband’s dad had also died.

Also, during the time she was in her cancer treatment her husband had gone through a few surgeries.  He had problems with his heart and still was not doing well.  They were both depressed, with good reason.  All of the medical bills put them in a terrible financial condition.  They lost their house, along with her husband’s 401K and all of their investments.

She said, “I really lost something when the cancer hit, especially the second time.” I dove into the treatment, helped others, and tried to walk in grace throughout it all, it was the afterward that I got stuck.  Try as I might, all the affirming, visualizing, what have you, did not help.  I think this had something to do with what happened to us with the house and investments.”

Then she said, “In my meditations, I keep getting, to contact you, let you know what happened and ask you…I am not sure what.  Just ask you.”

As soon as I received that e mail, I knew that all the stress had totally overwhelmed both of them.  Even though she had a lot of knowledge about how to live a good life, she now needed help.  I immediately got back to her and told her that we had put our Core Course on DVDs and was preparing to make it available for everyone.  It was not finished, but I would send them the course without the final touches.  I knew that if they started working with this course on a daily basis that their life would turn around.  Over the years that we have been providing this Core Course I have seen people cure themselves of many different health problems including cancer and heart problems, and totally turn their lives around from financial disaster.

I told her that I would send the course and they should start working with it immediately and that I wanted to receive a report each week about how it was going.  They agreed and started working with the course, and their weekly reports were absolutely amazing.

They felt terrible at the time and did not want anyone to know about what had happened to them, so we didn’t speak of it.  However, 7 months later they are happy to share their journey with others, since their lives have made a total turn around.  They are healthy, happy and totally excited about their future.

In my August Newsletter I will tell you about their journey through the last 7 months and the many wonderful things that have happened for them.  This is a great example of what is possible for people who are willing to make a full commitment to taking charge of their lives.  It is truly a case of amazing personal growth.

As Dean and I were driving into town the other day I saw a billboard that said “Stress Kills”.  I was pleased to see that others are beginning to realize what I have been preaching about for years.  Finally more and more people are becoming aware of the effects of stress.

When we are young we can get by with partying all night then working the next day for a long time.  What we do not understand is that every time we overstress ourselves that stress gets stored in our nervous system and does some damage.  As the years go by and we experience more and more stress that damage increases and in time it affects the functioning of the entire mind/body system.   We can get by with over stressing ourselves for many years, but in time, that stress causes the nervous system and other mind/body systems to malfunction.  We may think that we are healthy because there are no outward signs of illness or disease, but as we age our immune system is weakened and not capable of fending off intruders.

There are always intruders to be dealt with, but if the immune system is healthy it can ward them off.  What we haven’t understood is our inability to understand when we are healthy.  Everything seems to be fine on the surface, but inside things are not working properly and in time illness or disease occurs.  Then we believe that because most people experience this that it is just the result of aging.

We now know that if one wants to live a long healthy life then it is necessary to have a way to release the stress that gets built up in the mind/body system, and we have learned that it needs to occur on a daily basis.  That is why Unlimited Futures was created.  We know that if we work with the Unlimited Futures process on a daily basis we can prevent much of the ills that most of the people in the world today experience.

The Unlimited Futures process is a healing strengthening process that saves lives.  The sad thing is that so few people ever discover what happens once we release the stress and strengthen the system. At this point we move into a much more advanced level of functioning and life becomes a joy beyond what most people can imagine.

You can discover this process and how it works by reading my book Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want. It is a process over time, but this is the place to start.

Are you concerned about a specific relationship in your life?  Do you know what makes it possible for us to create healthy, happy, harmonious relationships?

Relationships are so very important in our lives, and when we think about relationships we think about other people, but the most important relationship in our lives is our relationship with ourselves.  This is the relationship that affects all of our other relationships.

How do you feel about yourself?  Do you like yourself?  Do you think that you are the best you that you can be?  Would you want to be in a relationship with you?

These are just some questions to ponder.

Our relationships are affected by how comfortable we are with ourselves.  How we feel about ourselves and how healthy and happy we are.  We each just bring ourselves into our relationships, and only healthy, happy people are capable of creating healthy, happy, harmonious relationships.

Focusing your attention on your own personal growth is by far the most effective way to create the kind of relationships you want in your life.

If you would like to become healthier and happier yourself so that you have the ability to create the kind of relationships that you want then I would suggest that you read my book Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want.

In this book I give you step-by-step guidelines for developing your ability to create whatever you choose.

Do you ever think “There must be more to life than what I am experiencing”.  I was having this thought years ago when I discovered a process for releasing stress and strengthening my nervous system.  As the stress was released and the nervous system became stronger I automatically moved into a much more advanced way of functioning, and discover that, “Yes, there is more to life than what I had experienced in the past, much more”.

It is the stress in our lives that blocks our ability to see possibilities and damages our health.  But the exciting thing is that once we release the built up stress that gets stored in our nervous systems, the system not only heals itself, but strengthens itself which allows us to activate abilities that lie dormant within all of us until we get healthy enough to activate them.

This opens our ability to gain knowledge from a different source.  We begin to intuitively know and understand how life works.  Intuitively we can see the big picture and understand complex systems.  We become aware that there are laws of nature or principles of life that governs how we create our own experiences.  At this point we can clearly see why we are experiencing whatever we are experiencing in our lives and most importantly we can see how to work with the laws of nature to create the kind of life we want.

As long as we are limited to intellectual functioning only we are unable to understand why things happen as they do, so we are bound to simply react to whatever happens.  The intellect is very valuable, but it is limited.  We can develop our abilities beyond intellectual functioning and discover a whole new world, a world where we know that we are in charge and can create whatever we choose.

Only from this level of health are we capable of living a truly healthy, happy and fulfilling life.  For more information about how this process works read my book Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want.

I received a comment from someone who read my newsletter, challenging my statement that releasing stress is the path to self-actualization.

We all have the potential to be self-actualized, and what blocks our ability to know that is the stress that gets built up in our nervous systems.  The nervous system is the communication system within the mind and body.  It carries all the information or messages from the mind to all parts of the body and returns messages from all parts of the body to the mind.  Everything we do, say, think or take in through any of the senses creates a demand on the nervous system.  When we make more demands on the nervous system than it can handle it simply stores it away to handle when it can.  Like many of us do with our paperwork.

Over time this stress gets built up and the nervous system becomes less and less capable of doing its job.  This malfunction shows up first in our perception.  We are simply unable to see things clearly, therefore we make mistakes and bad choices.  If we do not release this stress it begins to show up in other ways.  We lose our ability to see possibilities, we become less and less caring and life takes on a sort of mechanical feel.  This is the beginning of the end of many relationships.  When we are overstressed we become less and less interested in other’s opinions and we sure do not want to hear about their needs.

Continually overstressing our nervous system starts a downward spiral, which ends up creating an unhappy life, destroying our health and usually an early death.

But there is hope.  Many years ago when I was feeling stressed, I discovered a process for releasing stress which allows the nervous system to heal itself.  I also discovered that by continuing to work with this process on a daily basis the nervous system becomes stronger and in time automatically moves one into a much more advanced level of functioning.  This more advanced level of functioning is what Abraham Maslow calls self-actualization.

Maslow found in his study of self-actualized people that they were the healthiest people in our society.  They were also the happiest.  He said they were highly intuitive and had discovered the ability to fulfill their needs and desires from within themselves.

It is the condition of our nervous systems that allows us to discover abilities that lie dormant within all of us until we become healthy enough to activate them.  This is what we are now calling right brain abilities, such as creativity, intuition, the ability to see the big picture, understand complex systems, and see and understand laws of nature or principles of life that govern how we create our own experiences.

This is what Unlimited Futures is all about.  We provide programs for the development of human potential.  If you are feeling stressed, and are interested in reversing a downward spiral and discovering how to create a healthy, happy, fulfilling life for yourself you can start by reading my book Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want. It clearly describes a process for releasing stress and moving into a much happier place.  We also provide other tools and courses to help you along the way.

Do you ever wake up feeling – just out of sorts, or do you sometimes feel bored, disinterested in life, sad or even depressed?  These are the effects of an overstressed nervous system.

Our nervous systems are the communication system for the mind and body.  It must carry all the messages from the mind to the body and return all the messages from the body to the mind.  So you see, everything we say, do, think or feel all creates demands on our nervous systems.

What happens is that every time we make more demands on our nervous systems than it can handle, it damages the system to some degree, and over time our nervous systems become less and less capable of doing its job.  It usually begins by affecting our perception; it also affects our competence and even our ability to care.

Most doctors agree that at least 99% of all illness is stress related.  When we over stress the nervous system its ability to do its job is diminished and in time malfunction of both the mind and body are inevitable.  The symptoms we discussed earlier are the beginning of the deterioration of our health.

Many years ago I was experiencing these symptoms, when I was fortunate enough to discover a process for releasing stress, thereby healing and strengthening my nervous system.

It is great to be free of these feelings, but the exciting part is that once the stress is released and the nervous system becomes strong enough we automatically move into a much more advanced level of functioning.

We activate abilities that lie dormant within us until we become healthy enough to activate them.  These abilities are what we are now calling right brain abilities.  They are creativity, intuition, the ability to see the big picture and understand complex systems.  We are then able to see and understand laws of nature or principles of life that govern how we create our own experiences.

At that point we become capable of creating whatever we choose.  We see the world and function in it from a whole new perspective.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and would like to create a life of health, joy, happiness and fulfillment the place to start is by reading my book Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want.

Many years ago I made a discovery that made it possible for me to live a much healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life than I ever dreamed possible.  I discovered a process that I worked with on a daily basis, which moved me into a much more advanced level of functioning than I had ever experienced.  I was on top of the world, making money, having fun and enjoying life to the fullest.  In fact things were going so well for me that I got too busy to keep doing the process that had made it possible for me to function this way.

Gradually my energy was decreasing, my mind wasn’t quite as clear and it was becoming just a little more difficult to accomplish the things that I had accomplished with ease before.  I was clearly moving back into my old way of functioning.  I then realized that I had discovered something of great value, and I must understand what had happened, why it happened and how I could bring it back and share it with others.

I got back to doing the process on a daily basis, curtailed some of my activity, and begin to understand what had happened for me.  I realized that I had discovered a process for releasing stress, which healed and strengthened my nervous system.  I could see that it is the stress in our lives that blocks our nervous systems ability to function as it would otherwise be capable of doing.

The nervous system is the communications system of the mind and body.  It affects our perception and our competence. Every time we overstress the system by making more demands on it than it can handle at that time, it is damaged, and over time it becomes less and less capable.  It affects our energy level and our ability to see possibilities. It even affects our ability to care.

Most of us have been over stressing our nervous systems all of our lives.  So much seems to be demanded of us even when we are children, and when the demands are more than we can handle it affects our nervous system, and we become even less able to live up to expectations, whether it is our own expectations or that of others close to us.  As we grow up the demands continue to accelerate and we simply do not have the ability to see possibilities.  We often began to feel incompetent and depressed.

This happens at different times for all of us depending on our level of health.  What we need is a strong healthy nervous system, and that system is being damaged usually on a daily basis due to the stress we are feeling.  This is a time when we feel distraught and somewhat helpless, not knowing what to do to fix the problem, we often get caught up in habits that relieves the stress to some degree, but in the long run makes it even worse. This is how many addictions start.  We think that smoking helps, drinking or drugs over eating or even excessive sex, but they are simply distractions and cause more stress and damage our health even more.  If we cannot find a way to release the stress and heal our nervous systems, it shows up in both physical and mental malfunction.

Sometimes we are totally unaware that we are overstressed because this is what is happening to most of the people we know, and we think it is normal or the way things work.  Most of us have never experienced being free of stress, enough to become truly healthy and move into the advanced level of functioning that is potential within all of us.

I had no idea that I was less than perfectly healthy or that there was more to life than I was capable of experiencing, until I started experimenting with the process that I discovered.  This process releases stress, heals and strengthens the nervous system and moves one into a much more advanced level of functioning.  When the nervous system gets strong enough we begin to tap into abilities that lie dormant until we become healthy enough to activate them.

This is what we are now calling right brain abilities.  We start to experience a new way of knowing, called intuition.  Intuitively we can see the big picture and understand complex systems.  We can begin to understand laws of nature or principles of life that governs how we create our own experiences.  We are also capable of living in harmony with these laws or principles and discover that we can create whatever we choose.

Once I clearly understood what I had discovered and how it works I knew that I must share this knowledge with others.  That is the reason I founded Unlimited Futures and have created programs for developing the potential that lies dormant within all of us.

I made this discovery many years ago and have been able to share it with thousands of people over the years, who have improved their lives tremendously. Now I want to share it with you.

My book Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want, explains the process in detail and continues to make a huge contribution to the personal growth of anyone who reads it and works with the process.
