2019—A HOLE IN MY CALENDAR: Cancer is not a disease, but an opportunity

2019—A HOLE IN MY CALENDAR Cancer is not a disease but an opportunity
On the beach post-op, pre-chemo

I became part of the aliens living a surreal life through the lens of the ‘C’ word. Many days feel like a bad nightmare or out-of-body experience that’s happening elsewhere in some parallel universe.

But it’s all real.

Random, shocking, totally unexpected and unpredictable.

I was healthy all my life. Never broken a bone. Eat clean. Don’t do drugs, alcohol or smoke. I respect my body.

I wasn’t supposed to get cancer.

I hear this story a lot. Healthy people randomly getting cancer is becoming spookily common.

Many of us are awakening

I decorated all my chemo bags to bless the energy in them.

We are facing a life review of lifetimes of habits (karma). Cancer starts the karma-cleansing process of unclogging self-defeating habits. Its intention: to help us become a clear channel and witness our role as divine beings on Earth. This cannot be possible without self-love.

Cancer is the ultimate spiritual plumber and degreaser.

Before Cancer manifests as a physical problem, its seeds are planted on the spiritual (micro) level. From spirit (energy and life in our cells), it manifests as environmental (macro). This environment begins with our attitudes and thoughts, which then shape actions and realities.

The stresses of modern life disconnect us from the body as it seeks wholeness and balance. On a molecular level, our cells are directed by thoughts (which are energy). Thoughts produce stress, and then that stress affects hormones, which imbalances and compromises our immune system.

When we are stressed, our cells don’t know how to take clear direction. When we are negative, we tell our cells to kill. They take this direction, thereby starting the vicious cycle of self-sabotaging thoughts that multiply as habits.

Our unfortunate reaction is to become victims of our minds, and then we develop a victim mentality that permeates this world. And as the world we live in is driven by this mentality, we are ruled by the stress to either fight or die.

Our bodies are made of Love

Because cells typically take clear direction, it’s clear that our bodies are made of Love. It is with love that our cells create as asked. There is no such thing as a ‘destructive’ cell. Cancer cells are not ‘mean’ cells. They’ve just lost their way from love.

Never mind if you eat clean and are 100 percent fit. The Cancer problem is 100 percent environmental, but since we cannot change the outer environment all at once, the change must begin within.

I drowned in moments of complete despair, yet Cancer did not appear to me as an ‘evil’ ‘enemy’ that I had to ‘fight.’ It was not something out to ‘punish’ me.

There is no ‘why me.’ But, why now?

There’s no such thing as a ‘victim.’

Some of us, knowingly or unconsciously, signed up for illness in order to offer greater healing to the world. In such instances, we are not meant to be victims, but to take on the roles of those who need healing. This doesn’t mean we are perfected beings. On the contrary, we have been hiding from our true perfection.

To start, a major reform is needed when it comes to the energetic language used to describe Cancer in our society.

Active words like beat, battle, and fight should be mindfully replaced with face, heal, cope and overcome.

To protect the cells of my body from being charged with animosity, I have freed myself from militant lingos of ‘fighting’ and ‘battling.’ I will not bring war into my own body.

The term ‘cancer victim’ is dishonourable to the person faced with this hardship. We are not victims. Consider recipient, patient, or dealer, and possibly and eventually, healer.

If Cancer is meant to kill you, it’s so you can die a little to live more greatly.

Cancer makes efficient use of reincarnation to reduce the many lessons and lifetimes we need to evolve as souls. To do this, we are stripped of all the bullshit we’ve carried and brought into this lifetime (yes, from thousands and millions of others … if you’re a slow learner).

You lose everything to Cancer: your identity, your body and health, your mind, your job, your career, your friends, your home. Nothing does the job more effectively than Cancer, because like a butterfly, we have to physically dissolve in order to transform. Meanwhile, the safe world we’ve known has been replaced with a dark chrysalis.

A butterfly trusts the process of dying daily as it loses everything, while instinctively pushing to attain Beauty and Freedom and finally embracing the wonders of newfound Life.

Whereas NDE (Near-Death Experience) is a common process of rebirth for certain souls that expedites their awakening on this planet, Cancer allows you to die daily.

Saint Paul is not the only one who ‘died daily.’ Rebirth is happening now.

Cancer is not my enemy, but it is my toughest and greatest Teacher. Cancer is not a disease, but an opportunity.

Cancer relinquishes all baggage of the past and releases us into the present moment to claim each day as a space in eternity—as a butterfly.

Cancer helps us to realize that nothing matters but what matters. It cleans us out so we can have a clear vision of the world’s true essence and miraculousness.

This journey is about becoming a channel for Divine Light.
