A VERY
SPECIAL MEETING
By Anne Marie Evers
I had
the pleasure of meeting James Harvey a few months ago when
he called me and asked if he could meet with me. I was very
impressed by this nice looking well-dressed young man. He
has a kind, loving aura energy field around him. He loves
music and has been involved in music since he was eighteen.
He has
a band called ‘ReBeat Generation’ (an after shock
of the counter culture). They are currently doing a musical
tribute to the Blues and Boogie/Woogie music, which presents
the Reedlemania ReView. This is an old time musical tribute
to Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, Chuck Berry and many more of the
old skool bunch.
After
one and one half years of non-drinking James had to leave
the place where he was living. My book Affirmations Your Passport
to Happiness was in his friend’s home and she gave it
to him, as he was interested in it. He doesn’t know what
he would have done without the book.
At our
meeting he told me that my book had helped him and actually
saved him from a life of negativity and any desire to go back
to drinking. It had given him the tools for the life he desired.
He said that I was one of the people that he wanted to thank.
He used to drink quite a bit and although he says he did enjoy
those drinking days, he never wants to go to back to that
life.
He discovered
that drinking did not help him move forward and it interfered
with his life. He said he drank to help him forget and also
because he did not love himself and felt that no one else
really loved him. Now that he has been working with affirmations
it has shown him that there is another side to life that is
enjoyable without alcohol.
He was
reading in my book when he was homeless and he told me that
he would go to the back of the book and read, say, repeat
and memorize the Short Form Affirmations.
James
discovered that he was not always faithful in doing his affirmations
daily as things came up. To solve the problem he created his
own tape (mixing affirmations with music), which will be the
basis of turning my book, Affirmations Your Passport to Happiness
into many CDs for children battered women, single parents,
couples, etc.
“This
worked wonders and really helped me in my personal, positive,
self-growth as it was myself, talking to myself,” he
said. I played the tape over and over. He also included other
tracks saying positive talk with a mix of music.
The words
sunk deep into his subconscious mind and helped him find out
who he was and most importantly to forgive self and others.
He made sure his energy and thoughts were not wasted on negativity.
After
a while the affirmations on the mixed tape became a part of
his reality and could not be taken from him. They had taken
on their own life form. His body had set up an automated response
system, which he had created and now all he needs to do is
think positive thoughts and put himself in a thankful, peaceful
state. His body is now working for him, not against him. "This,
he says, “Is what I want to share with others."
He says, “What you want is waiting for you to call it
in. Then remember to say your thank you's. Maybe everything
we want is not good for us and
I now
know that is why we always say to the good of all. “We
always need something and what we need is what we ask for.”
He took
the Short Form Affirmations and created music tape with positive
words and upbeat music. He used these tapes in the morning
and in the evening and sometimes in the middle of the night.
Whenever he needed energy he would put the tape on and shut
himself down. It worked wonders!
He says
he was always careful to add the safety clause to the good
of all parties concerned and maintain an attitude of gratitude.
Miracles
began happening in his life!! At the time he was affirming
for a place to live, employment, jewelry and he had added
to the list ..….. musical instruments. James met a new
friend a couple of months before, so when it looked like James
was going to be living on the street, the friend said, “Well
you can stay in Jewelry Shop until you
find a
place.” James had all his clothing and belongings in
boxes and was sleeping under the desk until he got a Futon.
When he thinks about it now, it was like a home of his choice.
The friend was into music and they played instruments and
sang together into the night, many friends dropped by and
James made many new friends.
The jeweler
friend, without knowing that James had been affirming for
jewelry, made him a lovely ring with hands holding a harmonica.
James kind of chuckled when he remembered back to being homeless
and affirming for jewelry. One of the affirmations I have
in my book Affirmations Your Passport to Happiness is for
Jewelry. He thought
to himself,
“Anne Marie says I can affirm (order up) jewelry so I
did!” James says he never wears jewelry but for some
reason he affirmed for a ring. He ended up with a beautiful
ring and gorgeous silver pendant with a music note on it.
Both pieces of jewelry did not cost James one penny! ………….
Just an affirmation!
One day
James was told that he had to leave the jewelry shop due to
City regulations and he walked outside and looked up and there
was his friend in a van. He jumped into the van and they started
talking. His friend asked him what he was doing and offered
him a job opening up and managing a new Vintage Clothing Store.
His affirmation
then manifested and he received new clothes and so this, too,
was the home of his choice at this time. He says he is quite
particular about the type of clothes he wears and this special
kind was exactly what he liked.
This store
was located at Cambie & Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.
C. in an area where there are hard-core drugs.
He put
it out again to the Universe in an affirmation (Order to the
Universe) that he needed a place to live. A wonderful 87-year-old
man named Richard and his daughter; Marcia picked him up from
the street and offered him a place to live in their home in
the Kits area. No more living out of boxes, he now has his
own room, which he has fixed up to suit his own taste!
He has
moved his recording unit into his room and is making tapes
using the Short Form Affirmations from my book to reprogram
his brain. He is turning negativity into positivity. Richard
is an incredible man full of energy and caring and is now
89 going on 100 years of age. James tells me that Richard
has a wonderful ministry of helping people in need. Richard
and James recorded a CD call ReBeat Generation Number 1 with
Richard, ‘Daddy Babb,’ and the Mount Pleasants,
(kids from James’s old Day Care). This CD has been played
on Rock 101, Sunday Blues and was Number 3 on the Internet
Music Charts for Children. Check it out http://rebeatgeneration.iuma.com
James now has a great home with two caring people.
James
does not drive and during the transit strike he received a
free, high quality, racing bike. He wanted a computer but
he knew a computer was expensive so he decided to change the
wording in his affirmation to read ‘computer access.’
A few days later his friend called and asked him to house
sit his house for a couple of weeks in North Vancouver. In
this home were a computer and musical instruments, which he
could use. Affirmation Success! Now James had a two-week holiday
in North Vancouver. In those two weeks James started putting
his music on the Internet and making connections. While house
sitting on the North Shore he discovered some of his acquaintances
he met while playing music actually lived down the street
so they got together for a coffee.
James
told her jokingly that he did not know what he would do when
he left the house and did not have the computer. She said,
“Seriously, James we are getting a new computer and wondered
if you would like our old one?” James was overjoyed and
said his thank you's, were flying out of his mouth. He had
arranged for a friend to go with him to pick it up from North
Vancouver to Kits and that did not work. So the woman was
so kind and she said she would drive the computer to his home
in Kits from North Vancouver the next day if he was going
to be home. Here was another affirmation manifested and delivered
right to his door. Affirmation success again!
He also
told me that his friends have been very generous to him as
well giving him cash when he was short. Now lets recap what
James has manifested –
·
A place to live and a job
·
Ring and pendulum
·
Transportation (Racing Bike)
·
2 week vacation In North Van
·
Another place to live, clothes of his choice and musical instruments
·
Computer access
·
Computer
·
Another home in Kits
·
Money when he needs it
James
did day care for nine years after being away from it for three
years, he did not think he would ever return to day care,
but just recently an old friend offered him a position in
a Day Care Facility in September.
It looks
like he is going to get the position where he can create a
music program with the kids.
He said,
“Anne Marie now that I have The Magic Wand or Trigger
Tool (the faithful use of Affirmations) to make my dreams
come true, I want to give back to the Universe and help others.
When
James met me he told he had received so much help from the
information in my book, other people and the Universe that
it was now time for him to give back. He asked if he could
use some of my affirmations and put them to music in a CD.
Of course I said that is a wonderful idea.
James
is presently taking a course in ‘Starting Your Own Small
Business,’ and is excited about opening up his own business
where he can make musical CDs, create Videos teaching people
how to enjoy life, while doing positive affirmations and share
his talent with people worldwide. This will be a joint venture
with James and myself.
Using
his talent with music and using certain music old time hypnotic
rhythm, He is currently designing music with lyrics that are
not silly, but positive material that makes people think on
a deeper level. Combining music technology, rhythm and affirmations
he plans to write RapFirmations (small CDs) for children.
RapFirmations is in the works and will soon be on the market!
He has
designed what he refers to as RapFirmations. His idea is to
combine the Children’s CD with a coloring book, with
special markers that change colors. The kids will probably,
at first, be more interested in the special markers, but the
positive message from your book will come through. Then James
is planning on making a video with kids instructing kids…………………….
Such
as “Come on Sally and Joey, lets say affirmations together.”
This would be a great tool to use in the schools, a type of
positive self-talk aka affirmations. It will set the kids
up for success every day. We all have the kid in us and we
all come from the same place.
CDs for
Baby Boomers – Psychedelic Affirmations They can relate
to this type of music because they grew up with it. It will
combine the music they know and like with positive, uplifting
affirmations.
Affirmations
helped him find out who he is and best of all was the teaching
on Forgiveness.
He says
affirmation have given him a clear insight, kept him on the
right track, proved to him the power of self-talk and positivity.
What you say is what you are. It helped him channel every
emotion. He was able to track his thoughts and then change
them where needed. When a negative thought comes to him he
says, "Cancel, cancel, that is not true." Then he
immediately says something positive about himself.
He says
he has three affirmations posted in his room and the biggest
one for him is the Forgiveness Affirmation as that is where
it all began. When he did the forgiveness exercises, he started
to feel forgiven. He said it and he believes it!The affirmation
process is helping him to become the best human he can be.
James
says he is aware that we can (and he certainly has proved
it) have anything we want as long as it is to everyone’s
good and there is a 50% believable energy around that desire.
It is already there in your consciousness…. “All
you need do is ask,” he says. He also adds that he knows
everything is not going to come, but the stuff that you should
have does come to you!
He said,
“Anne Marie, I took a couple of years to contact you
because I wanted to show you how far I had come. I know our
meeting was governed by Divine Timing as I had to have a clear
image in my mind how to create the RapFirmations. It would
have been too early as the timing was not right. I wanted
to see what I was creating and experience first hand how it
worked for me. I used myself as a guinea pig.
So now
after two years, I really KNOW that it has and is working
and now I can come to you and say, "Anne Marie lets make
your Affirmations Book into CDs with music!!" I am totally
convinced they work! (… I certainly have the proof!)
Recently
James said he was waiting a light and noticed a woman standing
beside him. She asked him for a light. She appeared scared,
confused, needed a shower and was hungry. He said he took
the $2.00 he had from his pocket and bought he a slice of
pizza and some bottled water. It was interesting how that
light seemed to be delayed making time for them to have a
little conversation. They continued it when they crossed the
street. He had my Affirmations book with him and talked to
her about affirmations and how they had worked in his life.
He showed
her parts of the book, and told her some of the things he
had manifested and she said, "Good for you." She
started preaching religion to him and he said, "Oh, I
totally agree with you and Jesus Christ would just love this
book! It is all about forgiveness, loving self, being kind
and helping others.” He said, “If a person really
loves themselves, they won’t want to hurt others.”
He also told her that all she really needs to accomplish what
she wants in her life was to just ask and then believe.
He ran
into her again in front of his friend's house and she started
asking him more about affirmations. He again pointed out some
pages in the book that he had used. He said I thought about
it and I did not just give the book to her right away. We
talked for about one half an hour and then I felt as if I
should give the book to her, which I did.
When
James told me the story he said, “I hope that was okay
.It was my copy of the book that you signed for me.”
I said, "That is great James, you did the right thing
...... just what the book teaches helping others in need.
I will sign another one for you.
Right
on cue, one of my Distributing Companies in the US went out
of business and returned about 80 copies of my previous 4th
copy - Affirmations Book.
I gave
James some of these copies to give to people in need and anyone
that he meets on the street that is interested in bettering
their lives. I have named him my CEO of Musical Healing/Affirmations.
He is
doing loving, caring work and I am so proud of him, the wonderful
things he accomplishing and especially his ministry of helping
others!
Way
to go James!
