After I wrote this post last week I was inspired to contact a representative from the organization that teaches Self-I-Dentity Ho’oponopono. The reason I contacted her was to ask permission to write about this remarkable miracle.  I did not hear back from her and decided to post this story last Monday. Of course I heard from her shortly thereafter.  Rosemarie advised me not to post this story until after I had received permission.  I immediately took down this post.

I have decided to repost because I believe this is truly an amazing story.  If you have already read this post just skip to the end to see who won the biggest Lawttery of Attraction. 

I am grateful for Patti and Noella who have made this a most memorable contest.  We also had another donation this past week.  So a big shout out to Veronica for donating $2.00 .  Therefore next weeks Lawttery of Attraction will $52.00.  Yee ha!

Now to this remarkable miracle that took place on December 5th.  So what is Self-I-Dentity Ho’oponopono?

Well I am glad you asked.

I have been practicing Self-I-Dentity Ho’opononpo since January of 2008. That is when I first read Dr. Joe Vitale’s great book Zero Limits.  This  is the first page

Ho’oponoponois a profound gift that allows one to develop a working relationship with the Divinity within and learn to ask that in each moment, our errors in thought, word, deed, or action be cleansed.  The process is essentially about freedom, complete freedom form the past.

-Mornah Nalamaku Simeona, Ho’oponon Master Teacher,creator of Sel-I-Dentity Ho’oponopono, named a Living Treasure of the State of Hawaii in 1983 by the Hongwanji Mission of Honolulu and the Hawaii State Legislature

It is also about taking 100% responsability for your life. And I mean 100 % responsability.  Whatever comes into your life you are responsable for.

“But Bald Guy I already practice taking responsability for my life. ”

Well I commend you on your actions.  But I believe this goes even deeper.

Let me ask you if you have taken responsibility for all this economic upheavel.  Do you take responsibility for the mess that the politicians, the banks, the corporations have flung at the world?  Have you taken responsibility for all the pain that has happened in Iraq? What about the mess the latest star as gotten into? Or how about the lonely old neighbour down the street?

“Whoa Bald Guy…  Now you have gone too far.  How can I be responsible for all of those things plus put food on the table, pay the bills and take out the trash?  Now I know your crazy.”

Yeah but you said you take 100% responsibility.  100 % means 100 %.  It means that everything that comes into your life is your responsibility.

 Lets take a break. Breath in. Breath out. Ok lets continue.

I am not saying that you have to make peace in Iraq.  Take over all the jobs in Washington and New York.  Hold the hand of the latest star and still take out the trash.

But are you willing to give yourself complete freedom by not blaming anyone or anything else?  Are you willing to learn 4 simple phrase? Are you willing to repeat these phrase in order to erase the memories that are within you that have contributed to the problems.  Thereby living only from inspiration from The Divine.

Well I am.

So now all you have to do is repeat 4 phrases.  I Love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you. 

That sounds easy.

Well it is easy until your mind starts wondering and all of sudden your thinking about what’s for dinner?  So like all good things it takes practice.  I believe I live from inspiration maybe 20% .  And that is after a year of practice.

Now the miracle.  My brother is a newbie to The Law of Attraction and he asks me lots of questions .  I am very grateful for this because when I answer his questions it clarifies and increases my faith in LOA.  So here is his story in his own words (please note there is some racy words in here.  But I thought it was important that I leave them in to give you perspective of the situation).

It started off like any other Friday in the catering business.  It was early morning and I was ramping up for a big day.  I had some  very important clients that I wanted to impress.  It was my first order of business of the day.  Go to my butcher and pick up the meat that was special order two weeks in advance.  That’s when it felt like the pin was pulled on the grenade.

I walked in as usual and asked for my order.  To my dismay the owner, whom I normally deal with, wasn’t there.  I got the next man in charge. He told me that my order did not come in and that the owner could not be gotten in contact with.  They had tried his home and cell and there was no response!  Well I thought I guess something was up but I didn’t have time to waste so I thought I would continue with my other purchases that I had to do.  I went to the bank knowing that I would need some extra cash if this meat order did not come in.  Upon arriving at the bank I was told that money that was deposited the week before was still on hold and that the manager wasn’t going to be in until noon.  Well now I was really starting to panic.  That was 2 ½ hours away and I need to be in full swing production by then.  Not just starting.  I started to call friends in the business and ask them if they knew of any one that would have this product that I was looking for.  After about a half an hour all my leads had dried up.  It could not be found anywhere.  I was in full swing panic attack mode.  I had been dreaming and looking forward to serving these clients for a few weeks.  Only to find out that the day of the event I could not produce the product.  I haven’t freaked out like this in a while and definitely not for work!  I decided to go home and wait.  I could finish my lists of what I needed to do and change some time frames now in which to do them in.  By the time I got home I was balling my eyes out.  I had convinced myself that I was a failure and that I was gonna burn this contact because I could not produce what I promised!  That is when I decided to call my buddy, my mentor and my inspiration.  My brother! Lets just call him Mr. Bald Guy In A Blue House.  He has shown me the way over the last little bit.  Yes I keep falling off or astray, but like I big brother, he puts me back in line and smartn’sme up!  Without hesitation and knowing what today meant to me, he told me to take a deep breath and focus.  He told me – Duane, I keep telling you, you keep attracting more junk if you freak out.  You are all good!  You will be taken care of.  And that I was king sh&*! (Words I will cherish).  He brought me back down, and started walking me through what had happened and provided/asked  suggestions along the way.  It was a short conversation in all honesty but he had gotten me back in the game.  I ain’t gonna lie. I was still nervous as all hell but he got me to remember that I was gonna be okay.  After hanging up I decided to get out of my house and head back to the bank.  I could maybe pick up a couple of things along the way and make the best of it.  I just had to focus on everything was going to be all right!

Now it is my turn.  When he had called I was making I am King of Cubicles video  resume(hey you can still view my video and help me get this perfect job. Go read my blog post  http://blog.baldguyinabluehouse.com/receiving/david-slocombe-is-the-king-of-cubiclesd then view my video at http://applicants.kingofcubicles.com/_I-am-King-of-Cubicles. Then add some comments and rate my video. Pretty Please) So after 30 minswe were finished with video and I knew what I had to do.

You see my brother came to me for help with his problem. Because I am 100 % responsible for whatever comes into my life it is now my problem.  I lied down in my bed.  Meditated for 2 minutes to get into the flow. Then I started saying, “Whatever is in me that is causing Duane and I to share this feeling of scarcity, this feeling of failure I am sorry.  Just remember it is not me but a memory.  However I take full responsibility.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.  I Love you .  Then I would keep repeating these phrases in my mind for a few minutes.  I would continue by saying out load I Love you.  I am sorry. Please forgive me.  Thank you.  Then repeat mentally.  I would continue this process for about an hour substituting different experiences I was feeling that I was sharing with my brother.  I then had to go out to do a few errands.  I will let my brother explain what happened next.

It was ten thirty when I got the call.  It was my butcher.  He had gotten my meat.  I was on my way to pick up some fish then I raced over to pick up my meat.  When I got there he was unloading his truck.  I decided to help.  Not because I was being nice but this way I could get to my product quicker.  He started to tell me what had happened.  I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.His supplier, who is about four and a half hours away, called him at eleven the night before to explain that my meat was not put on the truck and the driver couldn’t be contacted. Without thinking my butcher  threw his clothes on and raced out the door.  He drove 9 hours to go pick up my product cause he was a man of his word and he also knew that this was a big event for me!  In his haste when leaving he only grabbed his keys and his wallet and left his cell phone on the counter.  That was why no one could get in contact withhim.  I was so impressed with this.  That someone would go to such efforts for me!  I was starting to feel better and thought I am going to give this day a go.  I am not going to be beat!  I heard my phone ring while unloading the van in a chain proccession with the other butchers as I turned around WHAM! I got hit with this pain.  I thought my fingers tips were going to blow right off.  I turned to look what had happened when I saw this 10’ metal “I” beam laying across the room on my hand, on a table.  I thought I was going to pass out.  Tears where rolling down my face.  What the hell is happening to me today!  Two of the butchers came running over to lift this slab of metal off of me and it didn’t budge.  One of them took off to got get more guys from the front.  That is when my day my life changed forever!  I looked up and there he was.  I had a feeling it was him just calling and yet there he was.  Standing withthe biggest s&*t ass grin I have ever seen him with.  His hands were in the air and the look on his face was telling me everything.  My brother who was at least seven hours away was standing not ten feet from me and with his looks told me– come on buddy you are all good.  (it’s one week later writing this and I am still brought to tears with this image)  I yelled at the butcher that took off.  He came running back, I yelled at the owner to help.  It took four of us to lift this beam not even 3 inches off my hand.  Through this I am yelling at the top of my lungs “ Your not fu*&^%$ going to beat me!”  and lifted with all of my strength. I got it out, the adrenalin was in full kick.  Yet I noticed the only thing that saved my hand from being completely squished like a pancake!  There was a beautiful New York Strip Sirloin between my hand and a stainless steel table.  I guess it had helped in distributing and cusioning the weight of this monster beam. The butchers grabbed me and threw me in the back and put  my hand in a sink filled with ice and water.  They started yelling to call 911.  I told them no I am okay.  Imagine the looks I got.  I had just had my hand squished by a slab of metal, tears are rolling down my eyes and I have the biggest smile on my face and saying nothing  but  “you aint gonna beat me today” “I got this one in the bag”.  After about half an hour I knew I had to go cause time was a ticking and I needed every second of it to get the job for tonight done.  Especially now that I was going to be one handed! I also remember another tid bit that my mentor had given me!  He had hurt his foot one time and told me that what he did was turn around and be grateful and thankful that his other foot was perfectly fine and continued to repeat this.  I started to do this immediately!  To my amazement, when I pulled my hand out of the ice water there was very little swelling and very little discoloration.  Again I got the looks from all of the butchers. What is up with this guy!  I knew exactly then that it had worked.  I had to go then, cause I knew I was going to be all right! 

When I got home from my errands I got a strange phone call.  It was my brother balling his eyes out and seemingly laughing at the same time.  In between sobs and hysterical laughter my brother recounted all the fantastic incredible things that had happened to him.  The bank issue was resolved.  The amazing support that he received from his butcher.  The incredible miracle  left hand.  Wow! And even amidst the chaos my brother remained cool and even remembered a few words of advice to use in certain situations.  I am most impressed grasshopper.

However I realized there was more to be done.  How could a caterer with a badly hurt hand prepare a meal for the riches man in Quebec?  So I started again.  Whatever is in me that is causing Duane and I to share this experience of pain in his left hand I am sorry.  Just remember it is not me but my memories.  However I am 100 % responsible please forgive me.  Thank you. I love you.  I kept doing this for the rest of the evening. And then to top it all of …

 Wow! Starting off as the absolutely most terrifying day of my professional career turned into the most inspiring day of my life!  It, at the end of the day surpassed my expectations of what I wanted to put out for these clients.  They were so impressed with the food and the service, that one of the clients poured ¾ of a bottle of wine into a glass gave it to me and said to the host,  I am not going to have a toast if this man is not going to have one with me!  By the way, the bottle of wine was around $1000.00. 

The look on my brother’s face in that apparition is something that I will never forget for the rest of my life.  He has inspired me beyond belief.  He has given me so much love and I can never thank him enough!  I just wanted to put this back out to the universe, and to let you know, that when you send out love, you will end up surrounding yourself with love and happiness and success!

I love you Davey!

I love you too Duane.

I have no idea if what I did helped his situation.  But it seems to me a pretty good coincidence don’t you think.
