This Blog is for people who wish to learn how to use a very simple, yet powerful and effective spiritual tool every day the rest of your life.  It will lessen the stress and fear of life in general, and will make your life easier.  It’s so simple a lot of people say “It can’t be this easy,” but it is, because IT WORKS!

This reconnects you with your Guardian Angel, or higher power, or whatever your belief is.  You simply say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for… thank you!”  When you read the stories below, sent from all over the world, we use the acronyms MBO for Most Benevolent Outcomes, GA for Guardian Angel, and BP for Benevolent Prayers (what you ask for other people).   My website is http://www.thegentlewaybook.com/index.htm

SPECIAL NOTE:

Would you PLEASE write a review for any of my books that you own on Amazon, Goodreads, or anywhere else you purchased the book? I would appreciate your support!! As I don’t charge for these newsletters, this is one thing you can do for me.

My new book, “ATLANTIS & LEMURIA—The Lost Continents Revealed!” is PERFECT to learn about our ancient history going back 10 million Atlantis_Cover_ONLY_for_Tom[1]years! You can buy it on Amazon, and the other online retailers, as an ebook or in printed version. On Amazon, here is the link: http://tinyurl.com/nhhd4fo. For those of you buying the book, I would appreciate it if you would write a review. I only have 16 so far (all five stars) and need more!! This helps others who are undecided since they may never have heard of me or my other books before. Amazon and Goodreads seem to be the most visited.

You can read SAMPLE CHAPTERS of all the books at http://www.thegentlewaybook.com/chapters.htm.

Be sure to participate when I ask you to say a Benevolent Prayer out loud, but are you also saying the Daily BP each morning as I do?  Theo says this is one of the most important things you could do for yourself not only for this life, but all the others you have lived or will live on earth, as they are all happening at the same time.  Print it out and put it on your bathroom mirror to remind you.  Here is the link: http://www.thegentlewaybook.com/signs.htm.  Here is an example of a BP for everyone to say today: “I ask any and all beings to intervene in the most benevolent way to stop any terrorist attacks before they happen anywhere in the world, to respect other religions, and for there to be peace in the world, thank you!”

MBOs FOR HOT TUB AND VET BILLS

Bea writes:  I have been using The Gentle Way for a period of time.  Recently I needed to have repair work on our hot tub.  The estimate on the work was approximately $1200.00.  When the work was complete the bill was just over $900.00.  A big thank you to my guardian angel.

Several weeks later we had to take our one cat to the vet for an abscess.  Another estimated bill for $1200.00!  I had to sign a form that I understood that the surgery could come in at this price.  The surgery was very successful AND the bill was $650.00.  Another thank you to my guardian angel.

With both of these possible large bills I had requested MBOs before knowing how expensive they could possibly total. Part of my MBO stated that the bills would be “a reasonable, perfect price.”  My husband and I are retired on a fixed income, so expenses are always closely monitored.  Thank you for The Gentle Way.

MBOs FOR CONDO BUY AND HOUSE SALE

Carol in Canada writes:  Thanks for your work. I greatly appreciate it.

Two weeks ago I asked for an MBO that my stepdaughter would be the one who received the OK to buy a smaller condo unit.  Our area is a ‘Hot’ market, so to it is vendor’s market. Her offer was chosen out of the five offers that were received for this condo unit.

Now I am asking a MBO that she sell her house quickly as it goes on the market tomorrow.

[Update]  My stepdaughter’s house sold plus she received $20.000+ over the asking price with a firm offer.  The house was on the market for 21/2 days!!  So those MBOs sure work!  I am saying many thank-yous!  

MBO FOR LOST PAYMENT FOR APARTMENT

Jan writes:  I am sending another MBO that worked better than I could hope!  

My college age daughter moved from the dorm to her first apartment.   Her rent was due and as the girls had not set up a payment process yet, it got late.  I told my daughter we had better send it quickly.   The lease agreement read, $50 late fee if check not received after the 1st. of each month, $5.additional each day after the 5th of the month.  So that late fee could add up quick if you were late.  

I then wrote a check for $1,575 (total all roommates) and rushed to the post office.  As we had got a late start this month, it was Aug. 29th and Sept 1st was in 3 days.  I was nervous at the post office that it would be late and I would have a $50 late fee.  So they suggested I pay an extra $7roughtly to do 2-day air by the Post Office. She is in college in a different state/city.   I did and was confident it would arrive a day before the 1st.  

I left, lost the receipt and thought nothing of it until we were contacted by the management company that we have not paid yet on by Sept.9th.  Eeeek, the late fee specifically said add $ 5 ea. day after the 5th of the month.  It was the weekend and i had no idea what happened to the 2 day air, and had foolishly had not kept the receipt.  

Now I was in the position of contacting the bank to do a stop payment on the check (add another $25.00) and paying about $75 in late fees to the apartment management company.  Additionally we had to contact the management company and issue a new check. All embarrassing and all the roommates has already paid me and were all getting notices of late payment.  

Over the weekend I must have said this MBO or some variation, over a few times:  Please May I request a Most Benevolent Outcome that my daughters rent check be found and this situation be fixed without any additional fees or stressful steps Please. That the situation take care of itself, Thank you very much. 

On Monday early I called the management office and was told the manager had just stepped away and would call me back, but yes they only showed there had been no payment.      I fully expected to have to do a stop payment, write a new check, write a separate check for late fees, stop check fees etc.  Instead the manger called me back and said the check in the 2-day air envelope had arrived THAT Day on the 12th of Sept. just AFTER I called about 15 days after it was sent 2 day air. She could see it had gone to several cities and states it did not belong to, thanks to tracking labels on it, yet was perfectly addressed to their office.  She said  it was the strangest thing ever and since it was clearly addressed perfectly and paid in full she should waive all the late fees.  I had sent it the 29th of Aug as it showed.  I was relived to have no more paperwork and felt vindicated.

Odd I usually have great luck with 2-day air at the post office but no matter as long as I have MBO’s.  I love those MBO’s!!! And thanks for sharing it all with us Tom.

MBO FOR TV ACTING JOB

Casey writes:  I asked for the Most Benevolent Outcome to a better job and my agent called saying the TV show Criminal Minds wanted me to come in to the studio and read for a part!

I’m an actor and this is the dream job! I am now on ‘Avail’ awaiting final booking!

I am happy and truly amazed, this really works!

Attention everyone living in the Ft. Worth Metroplex.  I will be speaking at Patry’s French Restaurant on Lovers Lane Tuesday, May 4, and at the Satori group get-together (everyone’s invited) May 14.  Details down below.  Now for this week’s inspiring stories.

HOT TUB BENEVOLENT OUTCOMES

I knew that heading would get your attention.
From Lynn in Oregon: “I learned about you and MBO’s from the Sedona Journal over a year ago.  I bought your book and also sent it to several friends.   I have had so many wonderful MBO’s happen, sometimes I am just in awe…  I always say please and thank you…   One of my favorites is hot tub nights.  Our tub is out on our deck, and living on the northern coast, there are a lot of rainy nights.   My husband and I go out to the tub just about every Friday-Sunday night.  We spend about 30 minutes.  Now the chances of it raining, you can imagine, are big.   We had to give it up quite a few times the first winters we lived here… Then I started using MBO’s.  I ask for the sky to be dry above our Hot Tub between such and such time… I give it an hour….   I would say that we have a lot less rainy nights then we did the first couple of winters we lived here and I did not ask for MBO’s.   I say it was almost 50/50 in the winter here…. Now 95% of the time it is either clear, or just a bit misty…  May be cloudy and cold, but we don’t care about that!   Thank you!!!

“I use it just about daily!  Lots of little things…   I find it seems to work best for the small things to just make life simpler and more pleasant!  And I so often find, when it doesn’t work, it turns out there is a good reason!  Something even better happens.  Now that I have your e-mail address, I will remember them and send them to you more often!     Thank you for your wonderful book!  And sharing!”

If you read my book, then you’ll remember the chapter about the Alaskan cruise where the whole group of us asked for clear days for our shore excursions and each day was clear.  It was great!

A BENEVOLENT OUTCOME WITH THE IRS

Bev writes:  “I’ve been reading your column in the Sedona Journal for some time, but recently had occasion to really put the MBO to the test… I received a letter from the IRS saying I was going to owe about $8000 because of an error in 2006.  I immediately requested a MBO.  I talked to my accountant this morning, and rather than paying the $8000 I’m going to get a refund for $2,000 from the federal, as well as a refund from the state.  It doesn’t get any better than that.  And I’m encouraging my friends to do the same.”

EXPECTING GREAT THINGS

I received an email from a lady this month that had requested a Benevolent Outcome for a full time job and a MBO (Most Benevolent Outcome) for a new apartment or room, but it had not happened yet.  I explained that when you request a Benevolent Outcome for the PERFECT job for you and the PERFECT home for you, it does take a little time for your guardian angel to put these events into place.

But I also felt compelled to mention to her that sometimes we have subconscious blocks based on past life events.  One thing I do every day is to say out loud, “I’m expecting GREAT THINGS today, GREAT THINGS tomorrow, and GREAT THINGS all this week, thank you! I have noticed that people will suddenly contact me to buy something, or people that I had really given up hope of doing business with would again contact me to complete the deals.

In my “active” meditation as I call it I asked about this request and was told that it acts as a Benevolent way to clear the passage for good things to happen.  It does act like a Benevolent request, but in a slightly different way.  It would be similar to requesting during a Benevolent Outcome request that the results are better than you hope for or expect.  Your Guardian Angels will cause events to happen that you would never know to request.  And yes it does push aside one’s deep-seated restrictions that many people have for good things to happen to them.  This phrase should be said every day if possible.  I was told you will be amazed at some of the good things that will occur in your lives after saying this a few times.
After mentioning this in my weekly newsletter, David in St. Louis wrote:  “I have just had a Great week … I (started saying this)… this every day since Monday morning and the following things happened:

“My wife has been trying to sell a client’s building for almost a year, and with problem upon problem from evictions, to stolen condenser units (twice!), to city inspection issues, to finding a buyer but then dealing with all sorts of loan problems over multiple lenders, this client/deal was taking up 90% of my wife’s time. At the same time, the owner was very negative and fearful of his situation, and in my opinion this exacerbated the problem and kept things on the same course for a long time… Well, after starting this new type of prayer, which is quite open-ended, a strange thing happened… this client made an intention to be more positive, and lo and behold, the building sale was completely finished by Thursday of that same week. It’s amazing that by my prayer I helped myself, my wife, her client, and everyone who had a vested interest in this deal.

“Another thing that happened was that I received a bonus from my company… it was expected, but in my mind the time frame was unknown. This happened on Friday, so my week has just been incredible.”

A BENEVOLENT DINNER

Ruth writes:  “Hi Tom…I am new to the practice of requesting MBOs.  I shared the idea with a friend of mine as we were preparing to go out to dinner, so the two of us verbalized our request for an MBO for an enjoyable dinner out in a city that was new to both of us.

“As we drove to a restaurant we thought we would like, once we determined it was Japanese food we wanted, we headed to a strip mall where we had seen one earlier in the day.  As we maneuvered our way through the parking lot, what caught our eye was another restaurant in the very back of the mall that was a Movie-Dinner-House.  We parked at the Japanese restaurant and went in; only to find it crowded, noisy and so dark that the waitress gave us a mini flashlight with which to read the menu!  We ordered drinks, and while waiting for them, I excused myself and walked over to the Movie-Dinner-House to inquire about it.

“It turned out to be a limited seating, reservations only place for dinner where a movie is shown during the meal.  The evening movie was a recent Academy Award nominee that neither of us had seen.  When I asked what time, it would be within 40 minutes.  I took the last reservation available and skipped back over to the Japanese restaurant, where my friend was pleased with the idea!  We ordered an appetizer to satisfy our desire for Japanese food, finished our drink and headed over to the Movie-Dinner-Theatre where we enjoyed a quiet meal and a wonderful movie!  The MBO we jointly requested was better than we could have imagined!  Furthermore, since you are in the movie distribution business, maybe someone out there might like the idea of this dinner-theatre so that more of them can be made available–particularly to mature audiences! My new practice of requesting an MBO is definitely going to become a new habit!  Thanks, Tom.”

SCREENPLAY BENEVOLENT OUTCOMES

Rick’s been working on a screenplay about wrestling.  Here’s his latest MBO story:
“I had mentioned before that I paid $1,000 to a producer to read my screenplay and critique it. One of the things he said I needed to do was make the police work more believable (As he was an expert himself). Anyway, I took it to heart. I know an asst. prosecutor in the next county over, but we rarely see each other. I sent an email to the county prosecutor, presented him with my dilemma, and told him that I knew Bill from the gym. He replied that I could talk to the asst. prosecutors, but with some restrictions. I requested an MBO for that email, and got Bill’s email through the forwarding process. I sent him a personal email, but he never replied.

“Anyway, last night, I go food shopping, and to steal from Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, I was walking in, he was walking out! He said he got that email, wasn’t sure it was me, said he’d be glad to help in any way he could! It took a couple of months, but I guess sometimes we get things when the universe thinks we’re ready for them!”

  • BALKY LOCK MBO
  • BANK PROBLEM
  • LOST EARRING MBO
  • BENEVOLENT OUTCOME FOR TIPS
  • HOT TUB BENEVOLENT OUTCOMES
  • VAN BENEVOLENT OUTCOME
  • THE GENTLE WAY BOOK II

Welcome to the second edition of my blog about requesting Benevolent Outcomes in your life.  This is a simple, yet powerful spiritual tool I discovered around 14 years ago that I use every day in my personal and business life running an international film and TV distribution company.

You can read two sample chapters of my first book THE GENTLE WAY: A Self-Help Guide For Those Who Believe In Angels by going to my website www.TheGentleWayBook.com.  You can also read articles I’ve written for regional, national and international magazines.  I’m a monthly columnist for The Sedona Journal of Emergence! (www.sedonajo.com).

I always suggest starting out with requests for the mundane things in your life such as saying, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for a parking space in front of ______________, thank you!” In my belief system, I believe it’s my Guardian Angel Handling these requests, but you can believe you’re being assisted by whatever higher power you believe in—that’s OK!  Just know, IT WORKS! Now for some neat Benevolent Outcome (MBO) stories.

BALKY LOCK MBO

Rick writes: “The lock to the laundry room door in our apartment complex has been balky lately. It seems like I spend 5 minutes trying to get the key to unlock it. I’ve used MBOs for it, and they’ve worked. The other day, I asked for one almost an hour before I went down there. To my surprise, the door was wide open with a couple of people already doing laundry, and I guess previous MBOs must have gone beyond my key working, as the landlord finally fixed the lock! It’s now in perfect working order.”

It’s those little mundane MBO’s that make life easier!

BANK PROBLEM

Laura writes:  “ I was overdrawn at the bank $130!, plus a $27 charge & $35 bank charge from the man that said the money was no good. O’ boy did I pray. I returned the used product but the man wanted me to pay his $35 bank charge. Well, I have 0000 money & the money from the product $125 was not returned yet.  I owe my bank $130, plus the $27 fee.  What MBO should I say ???  I have not slept the past few nights trying to word this correctly. Thank you Tom.”

Folks, this is not rocket science.  Requesting Benevolent Outcomes is the simplest way you can communicate with that loving soul we call Guardian Angels.  You don’t need me to create each one especially for you—in fact knowing your situation you’ll probably request a better MBO.

As I wrote Laura, you don’t have to have absolutely perfect wording.  Your GA knows what you mean.  Just say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for my problem with my bank and may the results be even better than I can hope for or expect, thank you!”

You can also request a MBO for being led to enough money to pay all your expenses.

LOST EARRING MBO

Daphnee writes:  “I am now in New York and reading your book bit by bit as I am spending time with my family.  I wanted only to let you know a funny and short thing that happened to me.

“After I started reading your book, one night I had a dream, I cannot remember the dream but I do remember one thing while dreaming I was requesting an MBO for something.  I was amazed that while dreaming I was still able to request one. I cannot explain it and I was wondering if you ever heard of such a situation.

“Another little story. My 4 year old was given some expensive earrings by my sister and her godmother. This morning she lost the back of the earring which is very tiny. I requested an MBO to find it and I had not even start look, the Angel directed me straight to the place where it had fallen and nobody was laughing at me anymore as I said 3 times my thank you.

“I am now going to request an MBO to request more MBOs every day.”

That was a nice MBO find!  And yes I have dreamed of requesting MBO’s, and I think that you were being reminded in the dream to do that also–perhaps in connection with finding the earring.

Don’t forget, you can go to my website and click on SIGNS. There you will find a sign that says REQUEST BENEVOLENT OUTCOMES TODAY! You can print out one or several and paste them up around your house to remind you until it becomes an absolute habit.

BENEVOLENT OUTCOME FOR TIPS

This was a message from Heather: “Hey Tom. Just to let you know about my most benevolent weekend–I’m a server at IHOP; well Sunday was looking pretty slow and I asked for a most benevolent tip day–well by the time I finished with my shift, I made $130.00– just what I needed (asked for). Gotta love it. I sure do. Thanks for telling us about the word Benevolent!”

I suggested to Heather and to anyone involved in serving the public that you can say each time before you begin work, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for tips today and may it be even better than I hope for or expect, thank you!” I wrote a whole article titled HAVE MORE SUCCESS AND LESS STESS IN RETAIL, which you can read on the website at www.TheGentleWayBook.com under Articles and News. It has a lot more suggestions for anyone working in a retail store, as a commissioned salesperson, etc.

HOT TUB BENEVOLENT OUTCOMES

I knew that heading would get your attention.

From Lynn in Oregon: “I learned about you and Most Benevolent Outcomes from the Sedona Journal of Emergence over a year ago. I bought your book and also sent it to several friends. I have had so many wonderful MBO’s happen, sometimes I am just in awe… I always say please and thank you… One of my favorites is hot tub nights.

“And I use it just about daily! Lot of little things… I find it seems to work best for the small things to just make life simpler and more pleasant! And I so often find, when it doesn’t work, it turns out there is a good reason! Something even better happens. Thank you for your wonderful book! And sharing!”

If you read my book, then you’ll remember the chapter about the KRYON ALASKAN CRUISE where the whole group of us asked for clear days for our shore excursions and each day was clear. It was great!

VAN BENEVOLENT OUTCOME

Sue wrote to me on Facebook: Hi Tom, have a great MBO story for you today! I work at a large university and participate in their van pool program to help our environment and save a lot of money on gas and wear and tear on my own vehicle. In this program you cannot get a van pool vehicle until you have 5 additional people who work full time committed to riding with you on a daily basis. I left my other van pool in January as their working start/stop times really didn’t jibe with mine, meaning that I had to stay an extra 30 minutes each day to catch a ride home with them.

“So I decided to try and start up my own van pool with me being the primary driver and getting 5 others who live near me and have my work hours. I immediately started out by saying an MBO for having people who will be good matches for me and my alternate driver’s personalities, so that we would be able to have a good group riding together for the 2 hrs of commuting every workday. It took me a long time (7 months) to get all of my people but I finally after much frustration on my part wondering why it was taking so long got my last person and applied for the van.

”This organization requires that every newly forming van pool attends a formation meeting with the universities alternative transportation coordinator and the representative for the van pool company. During this meeting I was told that we would not get the customary brand new van but would instead get the only van available and it was a used van. I was a bit disappointed but having said MBOs all along this journey of getting my van pool group started figured that there was a reason for all of these hurdles. I was assured that the used van was safe and trustworthy and because I trusted in them (and my MBOs) I said that is fine I will take whatever you give me!

“This meeting was 2 weeks ago and last Thursday the company representative emailed me and asked if I would be available to meet her and get my van on Monday the 31st (yesterday). Of course I said yes and double checked the day and time with her and made arrangements for it yesterday. Well, we showed up for the meeting (which meant we had to take time off work and have my co-worker drive us across town several miles) and were told that she had made a mistake and told me the wrong day and that the delivery was to be today the 1st. I was very disappointed and yes a bit upset but tried my best to be polite and positive to the coordinator while wondering why this happened and what is going on?? Of course I quickly remembered that I had said MBOs for everything I could think of surrounding this whole event and thought that there was a reason or two for the misunderstanding.

“So now here’s today, the real van delivery day!! We once again show up at our meeting time wondering what our “used van” will be like. The company rep shows up and takes us outside and says “I felt so horrible about the mix-up yesterday that I decided to give you a brand new van and not the older one!” Wow!! Talk about a fantastic MBO!!!

Thanks Tom for your wonderful work and your efforts to get the word out on MBOs! Many Blessings to you Tom and your family!”
