In 1990, while talking with my wife, Marilyn Welle-Villella, about the many deaths in my family due to cancer. I expressed my concern to her "many times, it seemed, that the treatment was worse than the disease. And with death following soon, thereafter."
She listened as I continued: "It seems that THEY are spending millions chasing after some magic cure when we know many people who have recovered from cancer and there are many people who never got cancer, yet lived a full and long life. "
I said: " Why can't THEY find out why people recovered, and, why some people never get cancer and then apply that information up-front, and maybe cancer can become preventable..."
Marilyn said: Who are "THEY"? and "Since YOU have this idea, maybe YOU should do something about it!"
I said: "Who me? Why... there are many reasons why I can not do it...
After, she said: " Those are all excuses!"
I said, "Well, before I can do anything, I must talk to Bernie Siegel, M. D. who lives in Connecticut...and we are here in Minnesota..."
"
She said: "How are you going to do that?"
I said: " I don't know, I will think about it..."
About two weeks later, the local newspaper contained an article stating that Bernie Siegel would be in Minneapolis for a special seminar. We both saw it.
She said: "Well, are you going to see him and talk to him?"
I said: " Yes, I will try."
Well, I went and I talked with Bernie and he said that he would help. Highpoint was started!
Since then I have learned much . And, I have learned to "Keep it simply simple" (KISS). Focus only on one thing at a time. Do as much as you can.
Then, let go. Turn it over to a higher power, and believe that if it suppose to be, it will be.
That is what I am learning each day.
I have what I call a Focus Book or a Dream Book, made with a 3-ring binder with plastic page protectors for inserts. In it, I place pictures of whatever I want to have or take place in my life. I review it daily, first thing almost, each morning. Amazing results have occurred. Visualize, visualize, visualize. The mind thinks in pictures and does whatever it is told by your thoughts and words.
This twelve (12) week discussion series is an awareness program and is designed for anyone. The series deals with: Keeping life simple, finding enjoyment in every day and in putting purpose into one's life.
Many of us have grown up in chaos and find it hard not to live without it so we create it, unknowingly. We must become AWARE of what we are doing. For example: how do we start our day? Do we sleep-in to the last minute and then spend the rest of our day racing around to avoid being late for everything? Or, do we get up in advance, enjoy the waking process, breathe in the new day with joy, give thanks for it and for being alive?
Do we excerise and stretch our muscles slightly, get the body in motion and the mind alert? (There is a connection.) Do we spent a some time focusing and meditating? Or, do we let the CHAOS take charge? By now, you have probably realized that this series is a spiritual program, as well. You are right. We are spiritual beings, too.
You will find that this program is a plan for a creative life, one that improves the immune system, so that you will live not only longer but better physically... and financially. Money is a great source of dis-ease that needs to be understood and dealt with.
Sincerely,
Conrad L. Villella
