Did I Attract Emergency Surgery?
A reader sent me this email —
“Well I’m sorry to hear about your appendicitis, but I’m really perplexed – how can the genius who wrote The Attractor Factor attract such a drastic experience??? According to your teaching, you DID attract it, but why?? I suppose you must have slipped up somewhere …. I hope you explain it to us, when you discover your mistake, so we can avoid similar consequences.”
I’m surprised more people didn’t ask this question.
After all, I’m the author of The Attractor Factor and I’m in the movie The Secret.
If I’m so smart, how come I have a scar now?
Here’s how I see it:
Yes, I attracted this.
We attract all of life.
No exceptions.
The thing is, we attract it un-consciously.
We have no idea what we’re doing, consciously. We’re pretty much bumbling through life.
Myself included.
When doing research for my next book, Zero Limits, I discovered that our conscious mind isn’t aware of much more than 15 bits of information in any one moment. The un-conscious, however, is aware of billions of bits of information. Our larger operating system is obviously the unconscious.
The point of life is to awaken. To become fully conscious. We want to clean the unconscious of all limiting or negative programming so we can be in the divine flow that brings us magic and miracles.
But how do you do that?
In mid-January I co-led an intense and life-altering weekend called Zero Limits. It’s based on the forthcoming book, Zero Limits. Dr. Hew Len did most of the talking and led the adventure into our soul. The entire focus was on cleansing ourselves of what blocks us from our connection to source.
What I discovered is that there is an unimaginably huge amount of cleansing for all of us to do, myself included.
But I did the cleansing, and am still doing it.
After that historic weekend, my main computer stopped working.
So did my laptop.
And all my main sites, stemming from www.mrfire.com/, went off line.
Nothing was connected and yet all broke down the same weekend.
At that very same time I began to feel stomach problems.
By last Monday night, I was on the way to the emergency room to have my throbbing appendix removed.
What happened?
I’d say my body and life were being cleaned of everything weak or not working.
I’d also say it was an enforced vacation.
As Nerissa pointed out, I have been going and blowing at warp speed, taking on numerous projects, travelling, and barely (ok, never) stopping to relax and refresh.
My unconscious decided to stop me. By stopping my computers, and then me, it made me go on vacation.
But that’s not the really important part of this story.
Now please get this:
I didn’t see the experience — any of it — as negative.
I was never angry, upset, fearful or any other negative emotion.
I was at best curious.
I saw the unfolding of these events like an interactive movie with me the star player.
Believe me, I wouldn’t wish an emergency appendectomy on anyone, but this was not the “drastic” experience you might imagine it to be.
Throughout it all, I kept saying “I love you” and the other cleaning phrases.
I simply continued my cleaning.
And it all worked out fine.
I also want to confess that I remember thinking, just weeks earlier, that it seemed odd that I’m now 53 and I’ve never been in the hospital or had surgery.
I had also written a blog post here that had the headline, “I No Longer Exist.” (I’ve since changed it to “I Am Alive and Well.”)
Well, my unconscious decided to deliver the experience to me.
By focusing on it, I began to attract it.
I basically asked for it.
So, did I attract my emergency surgery?
As Rocky would say, “Absolutely.”
The Bottom-line: You need to maintain constant vigilance over your mind. But since you can’t yet be aware of what the larger operating system of your mind is doing, you must continue cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
How can you do that?
1. Get support. Miracles Coaching can be the ticket. You can change anything if you have help.
2. Reprogram your unconscious. The Subliminal Manifestation DVD can help.
3. Keep using Zero Limits methods to clean. For now, the best way to do that is to keep mentally chanting….
“I love you.”

PS – Right after surgery, when three nurses were transferring me back to my hospital room and reviewing my chart, one of them said, “Joe Vitale? That sounds like a movie star’s name.” I was groggy but alert enough to say, “I am in a movie! I’m in The Secret! And Oprah is doing a special show on it this Thursday!” Just then Nerissa showed up and with her eyes told me to quit flirting with the nurses.
PPS — Manifestation is a dance of energies. Nerissa created this emergency experience, as she will openly admit, because she wanted to feel needed and because she strongly felt I needed to stop working for a while. You may have created this experience to have a new insight into the law of attraction and how to co-create your own life. We’re all one, folks.
PPPS – Watch Oprah this Thursday.
Pain-Free Insights
A few narcotic induced trances…
I dreamed Nerissa and I were in the future poking around at life one week out. When I returned and explained it to her, I spotted us as we started to live what I had perceived to happen. It momentarily tripped my mental wires. I tried to point us out to Nerissa but she was in the present and I was in both now and to-come.
I saw life as a finished photograph, a long picture with all the highlights of your life laid out frame by frame. You could become conscious of being in the picture and you could enjoy it as divine play. But the next step was to become aware that you could change the next images in the picture by cleansing the image you were in.
I saw myself living in a heavenly place (probably Maui) but surrounded by an army of monkeys who obeyed me and a woman who spoke fluent English and cooked great breakfasts. I’m assuming she was Jane and I was Tarzan. Life seemed good but I missed seeing books in my hut.
I received a “prosperity penny” from a mystic. I looked at it and asked, “Do you have anything bigger?” Seems like something dealing with prosperity should be more than a penny.
Ao Akua,
PS — Number two, above, is more relevant than you might ever imagine.
Prank the Monkey
Since I’ve spent this week recovering from surgery, I’m not doing much but –
* enjoy the pain-numbing narcotics giving me Twilight Zone-like glimpses into life (I’ve had some doozies),
* channel-jump on the TV,
* write a blog post here,
* peck away at a few e-mails, and/or
* read books.
Ah. Reading books. My favorite addiction.
Right now I am surrounded by maybe 150 books. I feel safely walled in from the world. Out of all of these paper bricks of wisdom, one of them has stood out above all the rest.
The book Prank the Monkey by Sir John Hargrave is causing me to need more pain medicine. Every time I read it I start laughing, which causes my stomach to tighten, which causes me to grimace. It’s a love-hate thing. Laughter is good. Pain is bad. The balance is sweet.
Hargrave’s book is well written, lively, fun and insightful. He’s a very human prankster who dares to poke holes at society’s weak spots by pulling fairly mild hoaxes.
His targets are the biggies who get too big to remember being small: Wal-Mart, Starbucks, celebrities, and of course government.
The book is subtitled “The ZUG Book of Pranks.” It’s based on a site I’m now getting to know over at http://www.zug.com/
Since I’m a disciple of P.T. Barnum, and of course wrote a book about Barnum and other hoaxers in There’s A Customer Born Every Minute, I love this book. It’s in the spirit of Alan Abel and the audacious people who aren’t afraid to show us our vulnerabilities in a playful way.
One of the things I love about Hargrave’s book is his humanness. He admits to being nervous when he pulls pranks.
I know the feeling.
When I hired Alan Abel to pull The Great Lotto Hoax (soon to be a movie) to help promote my book, The Attractor Factor, last February, I had several sweaty, sleepless nights full of fear. What if this doesn’t work? What if it back-fires? What if — fill in the bank with any fear you like.
Hargrave is afraid, too, but believes in his mission and goes forth, anyway.
I’m glad he did and does.
Except for convulsions of belly-laughter while reading Prank the Monkey — which in my case is uncomfortable — it’s a healing book.
Ao Akua,
PS – Mark your calendar: Oprah will air her special on The Secret movie this coming Thursday, Feb. 8 th. I’m not on it – I was on my back in a hospital when it was filmed – but my friends Jack Canfield and James Ray are. Watch it. I bet this show sends the message of The Secret across the planet in a way never seen before. Tell friends. Tune in. Note: This is not a prank.
Magic Genie
You may have noticed that the blog post from a few days ago titled “I No Longer Exist” has been changed to “I Am Alive and Well.”
Turns out what I write here is almost like a magic genie: it comes true.
Besides, enough people wrote to me saying they were disturbed or uneasy about the “I No Longer Exist” post to made me realize I was sending out bad vibes.
I apologize.
Please forgive me.
I’ll be careful in the future.
Ao Akua,

PS – Your words have power, too. It’s your magic genie. Choose your words carefully. Always express what you want, not what you don’t want. We all need reminded of this. Even me.
