As enlightened beings, we are very capable of creating our own miracles and this section is about exploring how we can do that – even or especially against all odds.

The reality is, this is a real miracle that really happened in real life, my life, and I helped cause it. No one can take that away from me. The serendipitous timing of everything falling perfectly into place seems like it was conspired by the Universe itself and makes for great philosophical conversation. 

The Sweetheart Bond Story

This one is pretty big and there’s more than one miracle here, so get ready to be amazed and have your mind blown wide open to the unforeseeable workings of the universe.

The event

I learned a thing or two about trusting my hunches over the years, but when a song in a movie triggered a nostalgic sentiment that brought a vital message for my high school boyfriend after 43 years apart I thought my brain back-flipped into the twilight zone. I had an urgent sense I needed to phone and ‘make sure he was okay’, but then wondered not only whether to act, but how not to sound like a crazy person in the face of a possible closed mind. There’s no way I could have known about his fateful struggle with a cancerous brain metastasis that was further complicated by multiple surgery delays any more than I knew of his previous lung cancer that almost took his life five years earlier.

As it turned out calling him was the best decision I made for both of us and the fact he was so happy I did was an incredibly huge relief for me. The very next day he got his long-awaited surgery that he says never would have happened had we not spoken and that I gave him the faith to move forward. He said he wouldn’t have answered that call from the hospital to inform him the sky was clear for flying, because he had truly given up all hope by then.

There is a myriad of interconnected stories that created this story and Rocky credited me for saving his life with that single phone call, which is a surreal notion in my mind since my part was to act on a strong hunch. I know he played a huge part himself by being on the same wavelength in wanting to live and all the death-defying doctoral decisions were all his. 

The sequence

For my part

• Being totally relaxed and open
• The movie that stood out in my search
• The song that triggered a nostalgic sentiment
• The sudden concern about Rocky specifically after 43 years and 400 miles apart
• The strong message that I was to relay: Make sure he is okay
• The waffling over the absurdity of the whole idea, not knowing if he was still alive or married or very close-minded and would think I’m crazy
• The nervousness in searching for his phone number
• Repeating over in my head what I was going to say
• Haggling with doubt
• Dialing the number and leaving a message on his answering machine 

For Rocky’s part

• Was fed up living at the hospital with daily disappointment of cancelled life-and-death surgery 400 miles away every day for a week because of planes being grounded by forest fires
• Left the hospital against doctor’s pleas and swore not to answer should they call again
• Bought alcohol on his way home if he didn’t already have it
• Phoned and talked to a buddy for a bit
• Gave up all hope and prepared for the worst while sitting on the lawn chair with drink in hand
• Was outside when the phone rang & just missed my call
• Called me back right away because he recognized my last name that I kept all my life
• Was relieved and thankful that I called at that particular time
• Had his hope renewed and agreed to answer the phone should the hospital call

External factors & timing

• The firefighters working all this time to put out the fires
• The very next morning the skies were suddenly clear for flying
• Hospital sent an ambulance right away to take him to the airport
• Was flown 400 miles to an airport in Vancouver and driven by ambulance to hospital
• Awaiting brain surgeon operated successfully that same day

The Energy & Shifts

Diane

• A certain song stirred me to my core when it triggered a powerful nostalgia that put me into some kind of energetic stasis 
• My entire energy field shifted back to a time in my high school youth when I was innocent and naive
• My throwback virginity was a nice space to be in and I enjoyed basking in my adolescence
• I suddenly got a strong sense of concern for my high school boyfriend who lived 400 miles away and I hadn’t seen for 43 years.
• I got an equally strong impression to call him for no other reason than ‘to make sure he was okay’ 
• I wondered if this notion was maybe some new form of wistful thinking I was experiencing and what could I possible say to him that would make sense of this sudden contact after more than four decades.
• I had no idea if he still lived in that city or inkling of his marital status, or even if he was alive, but for sure there was some urgency in this intervention into my otherwise quiet evening. 
• The only certainty I had to go on was the clearly resounding statement of the message I was to relay to him in that ‘I needed to make sure he was okay’.
• It was because the impression was so strong I realized I had no choice but to call, so I justified my apparent absurdity by reminding myself Rocky can do whatever he wants with the information just as long as he gets it.
• I found myself cringing when he explained the painful horrors of his debilitating health that resulted in seizures and paralysis, as well as the side effects from the prescriptions drugs that left him unable to eat or sleep well.
• I became so filled with consternation and compassion that I wanted to jump on a plane myself and be at his side to comfort him through his ordeal, but the most I could do was care.

Rocky

• Feeling defeated, he couldn’t take any more disappointment on top of the imminent threat of another seizure that could kill him, so he discharged himself and went home with all hope lost for living. 
• The haggard tone in his voice evened a bit and in spite of his distress he said he was shocked, but also very happy that I called because it had been the worst day of his life with what he’d been going through.
• Rocky said he was so grateful and in awe, because he had been going through some awful stuff and he figured I must have read his troubled thoughts.
• It was a week later when he phoned me on his return home to thank me again for my call and say he was still amazed at how it lifted him up and gave him the strength to go forward into that scary place.
• He also reported that he woke up from surgery with a new sense of life and living – and ‘I’ helped him get there.

Our Bond

• When we dated in high school we held a certain mutual respect for each other and our relationship was always virtuous. We simply enjoyed each others company and went off on our own little adventures.
• During our phone conversations over the eighteen months following the first call the focus was still about making sure Rocky was okay and we got to know each other again.
• There was no expectation of a long-term relationship because of the distance between us
• Neither of us were desperate or ‘trying’ to find a partner
• We had a historical trust that was strengthened by our talks
• It wasn’t until after we met in person again that it was clear our combined energy radiated a special kind of love that even affected those around us.
• Rocky eventually moved to my city where we were married and that bond of mutual admiration never left us.

What changed for me?

The dark cloud of unlovable that I learned in childhood lingered well into my adult years which led to many toxic relationships and even when I found a good guy I carried that old imprint. 

Things changed much later in life when through an extremely painful herniated disc I learned to ‘go inside’. At first to stop the pain and then I became more aware my current relationship wasn’t healthy either, so I left.

The next few years I focused on self-healing and developing my self-awareness through introspective meditation. I had  many revelations and could see the lies I was taught so I could stop living them. I came to know ‘I am love itself’ and the reason I attracted troubled men was because I hadn’t healed my own childhood trauma. 

I then pondered how I could find a man of my new caliber: a man who isn’t afraid to look inside right to his core and know himself. So I made an agreement with the Universe that I would make sure my own baggage is cleared before I allow another man into my life and he will have done the same – however long it takes.

Two-fold miracle

1. Rocky’s health restored
2. True love for both of us

My offer

From my harsh lessons I would like to prevent more people waiting for an illness or injury before acting toward change, because the clues are right in front of us and the answers are always inside. We just need to know how to find them.

What I teach clients through my online course is how to coolly ‘go inside’, clear out the baggage and be ready for their own miracles.
