What can YOU learn from my condition?
By the time you read this I either will be in surgery or have completed it. This week’s post will bring you up to date. I am not telling you about how I am dealing with the cancer diagnosis because I think it is particularly interesting. I am telling you because I think that the way I am dealing with it might provide some useful lessons for you. It is possible for YOU to stop giving events meaning. It is possible for YOU to create a positive context for your life. It is possible for YOU to pretty much eliminate [...]
A new cancer diagnosis
Less than 48 hours ago I received a call from Jennifer Lucus, my oncologist. She had just received the results of a PET and CT scan that I had done Monday morning. I was convinced that she would tell me that I was fine, that there was no recurrence of the fourth stage metastatic colon cancer I had been diagnosed with in April of last year. I “knew” that I had been healed because colon cancer produces CEA antigens that can be measured in the blood, and my CEA level had been in the normal range for over seven months. [...]
“Who” or “what” really creates our life?
In an earlier post I wrote that I realized that we give meaning to events before we form beliefs and that, in fact, the early meanings are the basis for our beliefs. I also wrote that I made a big mistake when I said in the Who Am I Really? Process that the creator of our beliefs is our Infinite Self/consciousness, when really it is our finite self. I’ve had a chance to do some more thinking about both these issues and how they relate to each other. You—each of you—really are the creator of your life. Let me explain [...]
Help us to help businesses be more effective and change the world
Three years ago I had the idea for a new service to offer businesses that would radically change the thinking and behavior of its upper level managers and executives. Over the years, using the many revolutionary processes of The Lefkoe Method, we have helped problem employees get rid of dysfunctional behaviors. We have helped other employees who had great potential take on new behaviors that would make them even more valuable to the company. And we have helped management personnel become more innovative, more willing to take risks, more willing to allow contributions from all employees, less concerned with what [...]
How Can I Help You?
I’ve spent the last few days experiencing extreme gratitude for my healing (see note below for details on my health condition). That gratitude led me to wonder what I could do to support you, my readers. What could I write about, what could I offer you, what could I do for you to express my love and appreciation for your support of me? And not just those of you who took the time to write me: What could I do to express the deep love I feel for each one of you? Each week I try to provide some useful [...]
My cancer has spread to my liver; even that has no meaning.
Since my post a couple of weeks ago describing how I wasn’t giving meaning to my colon cancer diagnosis, there have been several new developments. I told you that I was scheduled for surgery to remove the cancer in my colon. I wrote: “I also learned that if the cancer had not spread beyond the lining of the colon and if it was removed surgically, the problem would be totally solved. If it had spread to other organs, then the prognosis could be serious.” (See my earlier post for more details: https://www.mortylefkoe.com/diagnosed-cancer/.) Well, it appears that the radiologist, who initially [...]
