I’ve never forgotten it.
I went downstairs and I had a couple of thousand dollars with me and I
got $50 bills, a couple of thousand dollars’ worth of them, and I went out to
Union Square, and from seven o’clock in the morning until about five
o’clock in the afternoon, I just embraced homeless people. Little old ladies
who were looking for plastic water bottles; people didn’t smell very good;
people who were ...
I was just in this state of bliss. It was such a pure love. All I wanted to do
was give. I just wanted to give. I just wanted to serve. And that impacted me
so much that it’s why I wear love on my shirt. It’s why I’m writing about
Divine love. It’s why I’m here speaking to you, who teaches us about
something called Divine love. And what a thrill it is for me to just be here in
your presence.
When you’re told that you have something like leukemia, there is fear
associated with it. Not fear of dying so much. But there is so much fear
associated with the word cancer. Cancer of the blood. And there is so much
of it in our society.
I have a dear friend, Anita Moorjani, who has written a book called
Dying to Be Me, about her near-death experience**. She talked about her
cancer and how serious it was, and how she was able to come back from it.
She said, “It’s just all fear. It’s just all fear.”**
It felt like the entities that came to me through John of God, came in and
took the fear, whatever fear was related to that, and replaced it with love.
We would say it a little differently: The removal part, no. The emphasis on the
love part, yes. So that the vibration of Well-Being was dominant.
This is an interesting subject, because everyone who is here in a physical body
understands that they are going to make a transition. And yet dying is seen by
most humans as an inappropriate thing to do. So if the path of least resistance
looks like it’s taking you out of your physical body, then you have some
personal determination to make about how you feel about being here, in this
body.
In other words, when you know clearly what you do not want, it helps you to
know clearly what you do want. And when there is a large gap between where
you believe you are and where you want to be, it is very uncomfortable. That is
what the fear is all about. But when you close that gap, it’s a really wonderful
feeling of relief.
