In the first chapter of my first book I related how we generally think of Guardian Angels—that they are only there to step in and assist us if we’re in trouble.  As you’ve read in the book and in these blogs, that’s not the case.  They’re available to assist us JOYFULLY at any time from the smallest requests to really serious ones. Here’s an example of something that happened to me in February a couple of years ago.

I have a time-share in Park City, Utah that I use each year to go skiing.  This time my son and were going to leave on Friday and fly up to Salt Lake City for a week of skiing.  The Friday before departure I suddenly received an email from the resort company, which manages the condominium complex; it stated that a retaining wall was in danger of collapse, and they had to cancel my reservation along with a number of others.  Panic City!  This is a very busy ski week over the President’s Day Holiday and I knew that Park City would be heavily booked.

I immediately requested a Most Benevolent Outcome for the problem to be resolved, picked up the phone and contacted the resort association.  I was first offered a condo in Salt Lake City—45 minutes and over a mountain pass from Park City, then a condo at a smaller mountain again about 45 minutes from Park City, and finally a condo about 20 minutes away.  I said, “Keep looking,” so the lady said she would call Monday or Tuesday.  I admit I was worried, but I said, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for a condo in Park City, and may it be even better than I can hope for or expect, thank you.” When you add the “and may it be even better than I can hope for or expect,” you allow your guardian angel to come up with some amazing results that you would never have thought to request.

On Tuesday, she called and said she had a studio condo IN THE SAME COMPLEX that they obtained from another resort company on trade, and had not yet been rented.  The only problem was that it was a Saturday-to-Saturday stay and not Friday-Friday.  I requested another MBO when I called Delta to change my reservations.  When I originally booked, I had to use 100,000 miles for the two tickets, as the inexpensive 25,000-mile seats were already gone.  When they checked on Saturday, the same flight was available; for the Saturday return, an even better timed flight was available, and they BOTH had 25,000 mile seats available!  I was able to redeposit 50,000 miles to my account for a future trip for $75 per ticket.  Now THAT’S what I call an “even better than I hope for or expect” result!

Some of you who are not requesting Benevolent Outcomes on a daily basis may not realize that your Guardian Angel constantly tries to gain your attention and let you know they’re there.  I’m sure you have heard people mention that whenever they look at a clock, it invariably says “11:11” or some other constant time.  This may have happened to you too.

As I’ve had to travel a lot first with our international wholesale tour company and then with our international film distribution business, I would always seem to wind up in rooms with five as the sum—23, 32, 104, 203, 311, 401, etc.  I did notice and would smile with recognition—ah, there he is again.

Also, since I’ve been recording my dreams every morning since 1979 many times there would be some song that I had not thought of in some time, which would be in my mind as I awoke.  It was normally some love song—my Guardian Angel sending me its love.

This came to mind as my son and I took a taxi to the DFW airport for our ski trip.  The night before, for some reason I started thinking and then singing an old Bob Seeger tune “Night Moves.”  This was a favorite of mine back in the years I owned a convertible sports car.  I would crank up the volume and sing along.

The taxi driver had picked us up once before.  He’s a tall guy with long graying hair.  He doesn’t wear a belt and has to constantly hitch up his jeans–sort of an aging hippie.   After we departed, he popped in a CD, and of course it was Bob Seeger; and the last song we heard before he dropped us off at the airport was “Night Moves.”  Theo was saying hello again.

So watch for those “ah-ha” moments.  Your guardian angel is just reminding you it’s there.  And if you’ve begun requesting Benevolent Outcomes on a daily basis, you’ll be reminded every time that there is a loving being watching over you. This can happen hundreds and even thousands of times.

By now you’ve probably noticed that I give you a lot of information about my personal life.  I do this to show you how you can request Benevolent Outcomes in your personal life, and what a difference this makes.  The Master of Love taught in parables, so I try and do the same.

The week after the ski trip I had a heart operation (or “procedure” as I like to call it).  When I had congestive heart failure in September of 2006 (which I’ve written about in my second book) I had two procedures to stop my racing heart, with the second one successful.  Since then I’ve slowly gotten off all my medicines with the exception of two.  But I found that I was experiencing short term memory loss and it was very embarrassing at times—especially in business meetings.

I finally complained to my doctor—an electro-physiologist.  He said that one of the medicines I took did have “neurological side-effects,” and gave me two options.  One I could go into the hospital for two nights while they tested a new medicine on me to replace that one, or two I could go in for one night for a four-hour procedure called a “pulmonary ablation” (you can Google that if you wish).  He sends catheters up a vein from your groin into first the right ventricle and then the left and basically scars the tissue causing the irregular heartbeats.  I chose the latter; as he said I could be off all my medicines after this procedure, even though it only has an 80% success rate.

Naturally I requested a Benevolent Outcome and requested that the results would be “even better than I can hope for or expect.” When I went in the hospital for the procedure at 6:00 am last Wednesday, I had NO FEAR–just a little trepidation from being in a hospital again.  Just before the anesthesiologist put me under, I said a Benevolent Prayer that the doctor and his surgical team would do a perfect operation and that the results would be better than they expected.

I was told later that after the doctor completed the procedure they run your heart beat up to 300 beats a minute, which is where most hearts start to “A-fib.”  My doctor said that my heart would A-fib for a second and then went right back into normal rhythm.  So the procedure was a total success—which is what I term “even better than I hoped for or expected!”
