Bill is just an ordinary guy who has had extraordinary things happen to him since the passing of his son Greg. Susan writes it all down. The Calgary, Canada affiliate leaders are on an amazing journey with their son. 

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK AND FEEL

You are powerful beyond your wildest imaginings.

You are a co-creator with the Divine, an actor and director in your own movie, each day shaping the story of your life and writing your script with your thoughts and feelings. What kind of movie are you making?

Bill and I, like so many others, had no idea just how powerful we are until our son Greg on the other side opened our eyes to a universal truth: You are what you think and feel.

“Your thoughts and feelings can create anything that you want,” Greg told his Dad in a channeled message. “You are starting to realize that what you think and feel is what you create, independent of anything that may be happening around you, for your reality is not based on anything external. All your reality is contained in you, and if that is what you concentrate on, that is the reality that you experience.

“You are the creator. You are the soul and Divine energy of all you experience. Create the world as you want to see it. The rest is noise to ignore. Accomplish that and see the magnificence of your creation. It is beyond miraculous once fully embraced. Do not sway and do not let up. I can feel you aligning with the Creator and Source of you and all that is. We are here to guide you on this journey where you take command of your feelings and thoughts and make it a world you want. Everything will become easy once this is accomplished. That is passing the test.

“Manifest at will your own reality. A reality of love and light, compassion and acceptance, peace and gratitude. All for you and all those who enter your world with you, willingly, to enjoy the same things for themselves. A melding of like minds in the pursuit of their own reality. The souls on this journey with you have been determined from the start to have the same vision in mind that you have. Beautiful to see and experience. We have that power in us to create this through surrender to our love-giving energy of our Source, our God.

Greg concluded his message with a reminder that “You share this incredible power with the Creator as you are the Creator expressing yourself now on Earth to learn this lesson. It is your time to do so. We are here for you. Happy, joyful and magnificent thoughts and feelings. Doing that here on Earth will change your experience if you embrace it fully.”

Once you become aware of and accept the fact that what you think and feel you create, the next step is a doozy: becoming the observer of your thoughts and feelings. This brave step requires rigorous self-awareness and compassion for yourself.

Believe it or not, our thoughts and feelings are not at the mercy of outside forces and circumstances. Thousands of times a day we choose to think and feel a certain way. You, and no one and nothing else, are totally in control of what you focus on. So the question is: What are you focusing on?

Are you focusing on what Greg calls “the higher dimensional feelings” of love, joy, gratitude, compassion, kindness and forgiveness, mostly for yourself? Or are you focusing on fear, anger and sadness?

It takes courage to take a really good look at how you are feeling and what you are thinking, but our children are cheering us on in this endeavor and know how important it is. Greg passed almost 11 years ago from the effects of substance use at the age of 27, and many of our children on the other side experienced struggles while they were here in the physical, but from their new perspective they understand our challenges in this very difficult place, and they're guiding us to achieve a higher awareness and reach for joy and self-love.

Greg has told us, “If you see gratitude and love and emanate positive energy and vibration, you can alter the reality of the world that you see...All is affected by your thoughts. We know this here (on the other side), and come to practice in one of the most challenging and difficult places in the multiverse. For if you can get a glimpse and insight where you are and accomplish this (awareness that what you think and feel you create), then you have graduated to the master level of thought over matter.”
 
I've struggled with my thoughts and feelings. Over this lifetime I've earned an advanced degree in scenario planning and obsessive thinking, with a minor in negative self-talk.
 
When I find myself getting into one of those cycles - and this usually happens when I wake up at 3 a.m. and start ruminating - I've learned to take the advice of Ann Albers, a Phoenix spiritual instructor and friend of Helping Parents Heal: Stop the stream of negative thinking by reaching for a better-feeling thought. 
 
I shift my focus to a thought that feels good, whether it's thinking about my precious little dog Riley, envisioning myself walking in a rose garden, or starting a list of what I'm grateful for. I can feel my spirit rising. 
 

Reaching for a better-feeling thought has a powerful ripple effect. When you raise your vibration, you affect everyone around you and contribute to Mother Earth's overall higher vibration. You truly are that powerful! 

If you would like to hear more about our amazing experiences, Bill and I have twice spoken to HPH and the videos are available on the HPH YouTube channel: click here HPH welcomed Susan & Bill Van Oije, 'From Wow to How!' for our most recent video detailing the beautiful messages Greg gives us about how to live our best life in this very challenging place and grow our souls, and click here On February 3rd, Bill Van Oije spoke to Helping Parents Heal for the video in which Bill details some of the astounding signs we've received from our son.
