Brain Stroke Miracle Healing 5
September 8, 2009 · Print This Article
This morning Diane was talking about how far and how fast my recovery has been. “Do you realize it’s only been five months since…well, since they gave us that awful news? They said you’d never walk, talk, write or do anything ever again. Now look at you!”
I had to stop and think about it. I had to admit my progress has been nothing short of a miracle.
I walk around the house now barely using a cane. I sometimes cook breakfast and I often grill steaks, chicken, burgers…last week I smoked pork ribs. I can move my fingers more every day. And I swim and write all the time.
Oh, I even used a pepper grinder last night. A far cry from the paralyzed body I brought home a month after stroke. An even farther cry from my near death experience.
Then Diane said, “I guess you’ve always done things fast. Your life has always been fast. You’d never wait like other people. When you decided you were going to do something you did it. And you did it fast.”
Maybe that’s why everything changed so fast after I decided to live. I don’t know. Maybe. But I can’t help thinking there was a whole lot more to it than me and my will. Of course, that rugged individualist thing is what everyone points to.
That month I was in Accute Stroke Rehabilation everyone said it was my absolute determination, my steel will that was driving my amazing progress.
I remember “walking” down the hall to physical therapy that first week. I say walking, but it wasn’t like any walking I ever knew. I’d take a step with my left leg then I’d lean far to the left on my hemi-walker and using my hip throw my right leg out in front of me. That was a step. And I could do about five of those before I had to sit down in the wheel chair to rest.
It took a while to “walk” the hundred feet to the rehab room.
My doctor, nurse and therapist were walking with me they all agreed, “You shouldn’t even be walking. It’s only because of your shear determination that you’re moving at all. You are doing this, Tom.”
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
Dr. Lynn and his great staff were very supportive and helped me greatly, but they were simply seduced by their years of belief in the mundane. The physical world.
In their hearts they believe that the mind is matter and nothing else. My mind had a big dead spot in the center on the left side about the size of a golf ball. Maybe a little bigger. And what’s dead is gone forever.
Oh, they meant well. Best I know the awful truth. Maybe in time (years) and with enough exercise I could convince my brain to grow new connections and get some movement back.
They simply didn’t understand the way things really work in this world. To them dead was dead. To me dead was irrelevant.
The mind is SO MUCH MORE than a few pounds of spongy gray matter.
I have attracted fancy cars, houses and a thriving international business with my mind. I’ve attracted healing and healers with my mind. Heck, I am Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams. I am. I am. I am. Because of my mind.
God can give us in an instant what we could never earn in a lifetime. If we allow it. If we open our minds to the infinite possibility of the Universe. And accept the good He sends.
Certainly, God could make my body work again. And quickly.
So, yes, I took action. Yes, I was determined. Yes, I expected a very speedy recovery.
But no, my speedy stroke recovery wasn’t because of me. I knew the truth. Anything is possible if ask and then allow yourself to receive.
Besides, I had a secret. A secret I’ve never shared until now. A Secret and that Miracle healing I mentioned last time. The one that left my near death experience pale in comparison. The Miracle that I’m almost afraid to reveal for fear you won’t believe it.
The Miracle I wouldn’t believe it hadn’t happened to me.
We’ll get to that, but first I’ve got this Secret burning to get out. Do you promise not to tell? I’ll tell you my Secret if you promise not to tell.
OK. OK. You can tell one other person, but only one. OK?
I am TELLING you, Tom! YOU HAVE GOT TO PROVIDE TISSUE ALERTS!
I’m going to put a post it note on my monitor : “ALL TOM’S BLOG POSTS REQUIRE TISSUES BEFORE READING”
My son came out of a coma in a miraculous series of events so I relate with every smidge of progress you recount.
And I love you and your whole family more than you can ever imagine. I love you QUANTUMLY.
I look so forward to all your posts. God bless you ALL.

ok – share – I promise to only tell one person (unless it’s really good) which I’m sure it will be.
Tom,
YOU inspire me dude! Wow!
My faith soars! My hopes arise!
My expectations rocket through
the roof!
I found myself in a similar situation
last May. 49 years old. Believing I
was having a heart attack.
The cardiologist gave me the news.
It wasn’t good. He said I might not
make it through the weekend. I was
to speak at a Joe Vitale event in
Austin. I asked the doctor if I could
wait and do all this ‘next week.’ He
said that with all the tests he’d
done, I might not be alive next week.
He scheduled me for emergency
angio-plasty at 7:30 a.m. the next
morning.
A buddy called me at 9:30 p.m. the
night before the angio-plasty. He
said, “Michael, remember Tom
and Penelope?” Of course I did.
He said, “Declare now, I’m healthy
beyond my wildest dreams. I am.
I am. I am!”
Tom, I did it. It resonated in my
heart and mind all night long.
The next morning, after the procedure
the doctors came back astounded.
They said that I had one artery that was 20%
blocked. The others were completely
clear.
I know what you teach works
miracles! I’m living proof!
I love you all and am deeply grateful
for your work. It saved my life!

Hi Tom,
I am so glad you chose to stay & keep on teaching us all.
My mum made her choice ten years ago to leave & it was the right choice for her. She had taught us all she could about loving. living & forgiving.
Independance was her style and she wasn’t about to change it.
She is remembered fondly by many as a whirlwind of joy and energy as she rode to and from the shops on her bike with her bright red hat pinned to her hair.
Tom, as you are a hat fan too, it occurs to me that maybe the hat thing is part of the whole whirlwind deal…
Love to you all
Carole
You are a True Warrior, and an inspiration to us all. Thank You.
Hey, if your recovery was so quick. …. How come it’s talking SO long to tell us about your experience???? The suspense is… (whoa – I’d better not say it’s killing me!!!) is… suspenseful!!! I just can’t wait to hear the some total.
Thanks so much for continualling to life out your understanding before us. I’m definitely a lot slower about incorporating all this into my life, but the consistency of your messages keep me going forward, and keep me pursuing after all there is available for us.
Thanks for sticking around for longer.
Dear Tom,
I am beyond amazed by your journey to stroke and back!
I am incredibly moved by your writing and inspired by your story…
You have me at the edge of my chair waiting for your next blog.
Keep it coming.
Blessings and love to you, Diane and the RD team!
It’s fascinating to think that the MATRIX (the movie) could actually be real. OK, not in a real – real – sense but in you create your reality sense. One really shifts to a different level when he starts ordering his thinking correctly.
Just last night I was pondering about having a mustard seed size of faith. That’s almost nothing! And one can do things with just that. How powerful! So, the hinderance side has to do with our accepting what we can do with our faith!!
We on earth have definitely been programed to live life consumed with routine. If we don’t get out of those ruts were like the comment …..”died at 30, physically dead at 80″
Thanks again, TOM, for you Posts (or your Blog, Blog, Blog 🙂 )
