he impeded the signals of the survival emotions from conditioning his body
to the same mind. His body then released energy, which was available to
use to design a new destiny for himself.
For the next week, Bill became so uplifted that he thought about the new
self he wanted to be, and how he would respond to the people, places, and
influences that previously controlled him. For instance, he decided that
whenever his wife and kids expressed a wish or need, he would respond
with kindness and generosity instead of making them feel like a burden. In
short, he focused on how he wanted to think, act, and feel when presented
with situations that had challenged him in the past. He was creating a new
personality, a new mind, and a new state of being.
Bill began to put into practice what he’d placed in his mind while sitting
on that Baja beach. Shortly after his return, he noticed that the tumor on his
calf had fallen off. In a week or so, when he went to his doctor, he was
cancer free. He has remained that way.
By firing his brain in new ways, Bill changed biologically and
chemically from his previous self. As a result, he signaled new genes in
new ways; and those cancer cells couldn’t coexist with his new mind, new
internal chemistry, and new self. Once trapped by the emotions of the past,
he now lives in a new future.
Creation: Living as a Nobody
At the end of the previous chapter, I briefly described what it is like to
live in creative mode. Those are the moments of being fully engaged and in
flow so that the environment, the body, and time all seem immaterial and
don’t invade our conscious thoughts.
Living in creation is living as a nobody. Ever notice that when you’re
truly in the midst of creating anything, you forget about yourself? You
dissociate from your known world. You are no longer a somebody who
associates your identity with certain things you own, particular people you
know, certain tasks you do, and different places you lived at specific times.
You could say that when you are in a creative state, you forget about the
habit of being you. You lay down your selfish ego and become self-less.
