Beschreibung

In 2005, John Wong, a thirty-one-year-old molecular biologist was struck by a peculiar illness that led to his paralysis from his neck down. Some of his organs had also started to malfunction. As if it was not enough for him to bear, he even lost his ability to see. His own body has unexpectedly failed him at the peak of his career and life, as he had known it then, came to a standstill.

Yet, he somehow managed to defy the judgement of most medical doctors who thought he was a lost cause and miraculously recovered from his paralysis and blindness over an arduous period of 3 years.

In Awaken Your Healing Power John shares his experience of establishing a Transcendental Connection with the Source and how it has led to his miraculous healing and how it has allowed him to be a vehicle for further healing in others, as he continues to tread this lifelong path of self-awakening.

This book reminds us once again why the so called "miracles" happen.  This book will broaden your awareness about yourself and your life. But most importantly, the book will help you to unleash your power from within.

PRAISE FORAWAKEN YOUR HEALING POWER

“This book is an eye-opener! Just when we thought we had seen it all with books like Lynne McTaggart’s The Field and Rupert Sheldrake’s Seven Experiments That Could Change the World, along comes the exciting and scientifically-backed account of people like John Wong, who defied the odds and went against conventional medical wisdom to emerge triumphant in a face-off with death. A must-read for those who wish to keep in good health and maintain their vitality, youth and vigor by simply changing the way they see the world around them. This book has reminded me that all of life, including my body, is a spectacular miracle. I highly recommend this book!”

– DR MEL GILL, author of the international bestseller The Meta Secret

“John proved himself to be a miracle maker when my mom was admitted to the hospital on the brink of death. Through his healing touch, my mom made a miraculous recovery that left the managing doctors dumbfounded. John is truly a healer and I am thankful and extremely blessed to have been touched and influenced by his amazing work.”

– DR VINCENT TAN MBBS, MRCS, MMED (Surgery), Founder of Wizard Warrior Training

“When my father was warded in the hospital for a heart attack, I called John and asked him what I could do on my part to help my father. John shared that I could help my father by praying for his life energy to increase. Fortunately, I heeded John’s advice and my father’s condition did indeed improve. I strongly believe that having faith in prayers gave my family and me the extra boost that we needed. John’s sharing on how we should pray from the heart continues to make a difference in our lives.”

– SHAN LIM, author of The Audacity to Dream

“Thanks a lot, John. You’ve been of much help to me. Whatever you told me that day is still strongly imprinted on my mind. And I didn’t even need to write it down! I knew we were connected when you understood what I was going through even without me having to tell you about it!”

– JANE, healer, oracle and tarot cards reader with an autistic son

“I was inspired by John’s courage to overcome his illness. He made me believe that I have the strength and ability to battle my illness myself. This belief was the beginning of my process to recovery and it gave me hope that I would fully recover.”

– STACEY LIM, teacher, recovered from transverse myelitis

“I, too, was inspired by the way John overcame his illness and his struggle to get well. I realized then that our belief system is one of the key forces in life. With belief, we have the hope and courage to face any obstacles that come our way. I now view any obstacles as challenges that we will eventually overcome.”

– MARK, husband of Stacey Lim who suffered from transverse myelitis

“Now, I know how my mind and spirit are connected to my illness. And, since I own my body and my sickness, I can overcome it. I have the confidence again to improve further.”

– LUKE, suffers from hereditary neurofibromatosis

“During my time with John, I have learned the following about him: he is very passionate about his work, he is quite an inspirational person, his enthusiasm rubs off on others around him, and he is very committed to helping people use their mental state to help manage their physical one. This book is one demonstration of his commitment in this area of treatment.”

– ASSISTANT PROFESSOR CHARLES GULLO, Ph.D (Duke/NUS Graduate Medical School, Singapore), author of Cancer Made Simple

“John is a walking miracle. I am so inspired by his story, in particular his determination to live on, that I feel that everything in life is possible; only if you want it bad enough.”

– SHERYN YEO, author of The Audacity to Dream

“It has transformed me and altered my views on my existing condition of terminal nose cancer and Parkinson’s disease. By keeping a strong faith, I have already become healthier. And compared to how I had suffered previously, the severe cramps that I used to face on a regular basis have reduced dramatically. I aim to recover and go back to work in the near future.”

– DARRYL, optometrist, suffers from nose cancer and Parkinson’s disease

“During our time of need, you and your friends encouraged us greatly, and after the passing of our son Nicholas, we were able to accept this devastating turn with much needed fortitude. As Dr Daisaku Ikeda once said, “Winter always turns to spring.” With that in mind, we have been sincerely practicing our faith as we have since learned that connecting to our higher selves is the key to overcoming life’s sufferings. Thanks to you and your group of dear friends for all your help.”

– PHILLIP CHONG & SERENE CHONG, parents of Nicholas Chong (deceased)

“Having been John’s close friend since we were 18, I know that we share a common dream of becoming scientists who can make a difference. As we pursued our dreams, I witnessed John taking very hard knocks along the way. The first time he was lying in hospital, I thought that, like before, he would be up and about in no time. As reality unfolded, we were told that this unknown affliction would be permanent as damaged nerves do not regenerate. This was definitely the toughest battle that John had to ever face on his own. It was a despairingly helpless situation, and an agonizing one for his loved ones.

From rock bottom, John miraculously picked himself back up and put himself together piece by piece, muscle by muscle, step by step. It was a phenomenal recovery over a very painfully long period. Today, John stands before us, having done what was thought to be the unimaginable and the impossible. John truly has a unique personality and I cannot begin to express my pride in him and how honored I am that he is my friend and living proof of what nerves of steel really means. In my eyes, he is the Ironman.”

– DR CHRISTOPHER YANG, research fellow, Immunology Programme, Department of Microbiology, National University of Singapore

“I first met John Wong back in 2002 when Adam Khoo held his first Patterns of Excellence Program (based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming strategies). I did not meet John again until very recently. And I did not realize that the dynamic young man before me had, in the intervening years, suffered sudden paralysis and blindness to the extent that even specialists in neurosurgery were baffled at his affliction and could not really help him. So, it is truly remarkable and indeed a miracle that John Wong has not only fully recovered, but that this highly intelligent, caring and compassionate young man has now formulated strategies to help others who have been similarly afflicted. However, based on my own studies and research into the teachings of Dr Rudolf Steiner (founder of Anthroposophical medicine and nutrition), Dr Deepak Chopra (Mind/Body Connection), Neuro-Linguistic Programming and orthomolecular psychiatry/treatments, and the amazing curative powers of natural foods (to heal both mind and body), I am not at all surprised that, with God’s grace and guidance, John has healed himself and is now well on his mission to help others heal.”

– BETTY L. KHOO-KINGSLEY, eco-educator and environmentalist, author of Cancer Cured & Prevented Naturally

“The human body is a masterpiece of God’s creation that has its own ability to heal when the conditions are favorable. John, through his own experience, has shown how one can overcome a crisis to heal oneself and help heal others. This book is a wonderful reflection of this ability and gift that God has endowed in everyone.”

– DR CHUA TECK-MEAN, researcher, Energy Medicine

“My mother’s friend, Donna, was in critical stage after she collapsed with a pain in her stomach. John taught her family on how to awaken her when all the doctors had given up hope. She has regained consciousness and is now resting at home. Thank you, John!”

– ISAAC KK LOONG, inventor, architect

FOREWORD

Our journey in life is never without problems, setbacks and failures. What really matters is being able to turn such setbacks into comebacks. This book is a celebration of the triumphs of John Wong. Through great determination and perseverance, he has overcome a debilitating neurological disease. As a survivor, he has turned his experiences into a passion to help others who are afflicted by illnesses affecting their brains, spinal cords, and/or their peripheral nerves.

Neurological disease is debilitating and affects every aspect of the sufferer’s life. Even more devastating is the fact that there is often no cure at all. And the chronic nature of neurological disease poses a huge burden on patients and their families. Unlike other causes, such as cancer, heart disease and kidney failure, neurological diseases do not receive much support from the community. As Chairman of the National Neurological Foundation, we are very grateful to John for dedicating part of the proceeds from the sale of his book to support the Foundation’s work of helping those afflicted and their families.

I congratulate you, John, for your efforts in documenting your journey. Your fighting spirit and passion to help others serve as a great inspiration to us all.

MESSAGE

It is with great pleasure and privilege that I’ve been asked to write this message for the remarkable account of John’s personal journey into his illness, recovery and beyond.

I first met John several years ago as his managing physician in hospital. An intelligent and successful man, he had just been struck by a devastating illness, resulting in profound disability. He sustained widespread demyelinating polyneuropathy – a disorder that affects many nerves in the body, including nerves to the eyes (resulting in significant visual impairment), to all the limbs (resulting in weakness and sensory loss), and to the bowel and bladder (resulting in incontinence).

This left him unable to do virtually any of the activities of daily life, including eating, bathing, getting dressed, going to the toilet, getting up and walking.

The pattern of his illness was unusual and he was diagnosed at different stages to be suffering from conditions such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). He underwent many tests, saw many doctors, and received many forms of treatment, including intravenous steroids and immunoglobulins, and chemotherapy.

Despite all these, his recovery progress continued to be slow and painful. Not surprisingly, he become extremely depressed and was in much despair.

However, despite all this adversity, the desire in his heart to recover remained strong. Drawing from a wide range of sources, including his faith, spirituality, complementary medicine, specific diets and a never-say-die attitude, recovery was slow but sure. He started to see again, regained control of his strength and senses, and successfully integrated back into society.

Today, John looks forward to a life full of promise and hope.

There are lessons for us all to draw from in this autobiography, particularly the unwavering strength of the human spirit that triumphs over adversity.

Happy and meaningful reading!

Head, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Singapore General Hospital

PREFACE

At school, I majored in molecular genetics and biotechnology. Upon graduating, I embarked on a career in the life sciences industry, where I delved deeper into the dynamics of how the body works for the next fifteen years. Such was the depth that I had acquired in this specific field that I was one of the pioneering few who introduced a ground-breaking piece of new technology – tandem mass spectrometry – into South East Asia while I was working for one of the largest US-based multinational biotech corporations.

At that time, I was supposedly at the peak of my career – one that ironically involved a deep understanding of human physiology – when my own body unexpectedly failed me and life as I had known it then, came to a standstill.

In 2005, I was struck by a peculiar illness that led to my paralysis from my neck down. Most of my internal organs were also badly affected and some were malfunctioning. As if that was not enough for me to bear, I even lost my ability to see. Yet, I somehow managed to defy the better judgment of most doctors who thought that I was a lost cause and miraculously recovered from my paralysis and blindness.

Today, my doctors are not only bowled over by the fact that I am able to walk, run and dance, but are even more amazed that I have returned to my normal life and am actually living more vivaciously than ever, in the healing workshops, charitable drives and even amateur opera performances that I participate in.

Although these trials have been long and arduous, they have been necessary. My paralysis was just one of many chapters in my life that I had to experience, on top of a failed marriage, which shook the foundations of my world. Prior to all these tribulations, it seemed to me that I had been fast asleep from the truth that had been residing within me all the while. Looking back, it appeared that I had needed to experience repeated pains and failures in life for me to ‘wake up’ from my stupor, until I had arrived at a new and necessarily deeper understanding in life. While some might refer to this awakening as enlightenment, salvation or even being touched by God, I choose to call it a Transcendental Connection.

In the course of this book, I will be referring to a Transcendental Connection as our awakening to who we are and the profound mutual connection we have to the divine power or universal consciousness. Based on my personal experience of a Transcendental Connection, I will share how it has led to my miraculous healing and how it has allowed me to be a vehicle for further healing in others, as I continue to tread this lifelong path of self-awakening.

Not to be mistaken as a phenomenon that leans towards a specific religion, this Transcendental Connection is one that transcends all religions to encompass the bigger picture of one’s spirituality. As such, you will be able to relate to the message in this book regardless of your religious beliefs.

Having said that, I need to clarify that I am Buddhist by faith. Owing to what I have been exposed to, I will be making some references to the principles of Buddhism within the pages of this book, although I will also briefly highlight insights from other faiths, as well as my own insights, about Transcendental Connection.

With due respect to all religions, I perceive myself to be spiritually-inclined in general. I embrace and respect all religions and believe that they inherently impart the same beautiful truth, albeit expressed in different ways due to the varying languages, cultures and historical contexts that shaped them. Essentially, I believe that there is only one spiritual Source, but that it is manifested in many ways and has been represented through different voices. To me, there is only one Source and it resides everywhere, in any form. And, if we look within, we will realize that we are one with the Source. Similar to how Jesus and Buddha were awakened to the truth without the need for a teacher, I acknowledge that there are many ways for us to reach God, or the Source, within us. These great teachers have always asked us to strive to look inward and see our connection to our Source as a personal journey that all of us need to embark on alone.

As you read on, I urge you to keep an open mind. It took me five long years after I had recovered from my paralysis before I felt ready to pen this book and share with a wider audience my experiences. Through my story, I hope to extend to you the conviction that we are capable of things that we never thought possible when we are finally connected to our Source. Based on my insights, I will share with you how you can reach optimal health, or even gain wealth and find love for that matter, and how you will be able to assist others in doing so too. I will also share how health, wealth and love are able to bring about happiness, albeit fleeting, but it is an inner liberation that results in true bliss.

In this book, I will also talk about how seeking perfection in others can have a limiting effect on our ability to change our lives. For when we place someone else on a pedestal, or think that others are perfect and have all the answers, we unknowingly hand our power to them and think of ourselves as imperfect, lowly, inadequate, unworthy, flawed and even sinful. In doing so, we subconsciously dissociate our own entity from our Source. By extending to you the belief that we are in fact all one and that all of us have an equal standing in the eyes of the universe, we no longer need to seek healing from someone or something that is outside of us, since true healing can only begin from within us.

I hope this book will help you broaden your awareness about yourself and your life. As you read on, I will even shed light on how and why miracles happen when there is a Transcendental Connection, from a scientific point of view. However, it must be said that some things in life cannot be explained by science, or at least not yet.

Even though I am healed from my paralysis and blindness, I recognize that I am not ‘The Healer’ per se. To me, Mother Nature or the Source is responsible for my miraculous healing and I am simply a messenger who is here to share the healing that I and others of different faiths have gratefully experienced.

Remember that I am not here to teach, but to share. I used to think that those who reach out to others must first be able to lead a perfect life but I have since learnt that this is a self-limiting belief. In fact, history has always pointed otherwise; great spiritual teachers like Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Lao Tzu and Gandhi fell hard and had to humble themselves before they could share their newfound wisdom with the world and before the world was ready to listen to them. These teachers never once professed to be perfect and even suggested that we too – though we are imperfect people – can be like them.

Today, I know that I do not have to be rich to share. I also do not have to be perfect before I can share what I have learnt with others. In fact, life is never about being rich or perfect. Rather, life is a journey where we continually work to overcome our own weaknesses, scale greater heights and impart our lessons learnt to others.

No matter what message you derive from the words in this book, there is no denying that this book has power because words have power. Similarly, consciousness has power and your actions after reading this book will have power. This power stays with you and it has always been in and with you. You are always connected whether you are aware of it or not – transcendentally connected.

PART I

How I Healed Myself

The ultimate measure of a man is notthe greatness of his deeds or words.But rather, how he reacts to his life daily.

Chapter One

Uncovering the Blueprint for Disease

My childhood

If health is indeed wealth, then being struck by a disease is akin to having a thief take all our wealth away from us. Like a thief, a disease sneaks around unnoticed and robs a person of good night’s sleep. But quite unlike a thief who walks away with one’s valued possessions overnight, a disease seldom strikes quickly nor is its full impact always apparent from the start. Diseases can lie dormant in the body for months, years or even decades before they eventually rear their ugly head.

“Diseases can lie dormant in the body for months, years or even decades before they eventually rear their ugly head.”

As such, the full account of my disease cannot be told from the very fateful day when all hell broke loose. Instead, the story of my disease must be traced back to its roots in my childhood...

I come from a poor family, where my parents had to struggle to make ends meet. With no education, my father, the sole breadwinner, earned a meager income that could barely meet the basic needs of the family. Such was the situation at home when I was a child that we often fretted over where our next meal would come from and even required the aid of relatives and friends from time to time to get by.

When I was five and our family’s livelihood was a constant source of worry, the atmosphere at home was mostly quite grim. To make matters worse, my mother’s growing discontent and frustration often erupted into frequent heated quarrels with my father.

In times like those, it did not help that my father was admittedly the kindest and most honest man that my mother had ever met. During those quarrels, she never failed to reproach my father for being the honest and trusting man that he was, and as a result of it, had often wound up being conned in whatever little business undertakings he had attempted.

Brought up in an environment where love was found wanting, I became a font of deep-seated anger. By the age of six, I began to hold so little regard for a man who provided so poorly for his family that I spoke less to my father and grew increasingly estranged towards him over the years to come.

But in spite of my resentment towards my father, what angered me most as a child were my mother’s incessant remarks about how poor our family was and how stupid my siblings and I were. Even though my mother is now a completely changed woman, her remarks back then contributed much to my agony as a child.

“Their children are so smart and you are so stupid!” my mother would often grunt at me under the watchful eyes of relatives or friends. As much as I would try to appear nonchalant, I actually felt indignant and downright humiliated inside. On various occasions, my mother would even make it a point to remind me that, “My parents were poor and now we are also poor and uneducated! We will never be able to amount to anything in life!”

Although she probably did not think much about what she was saying, the degree of hurt inflicted on me was nonetheless damaging. I had to face such insensitive remarks on more occasions than I would like to remember and, as a young and impressionable child, the pain that they caused me became deeply etched in my memory, like a bad taste that lingered in the mouth.

Yet, I did not truly believe a word that she uttered.

“... as a young and impressionable child, the pain that they caused me became deeply etched in my memory, like a bad taste that lingered in the mouth.”

Firstly, I did not think that I was stupid. Secondly, even though we were undeniably poor, I did not believe that we had achieved nothing. I could not resign myself, as she had, to the belief that any hope for progress was futile.

So, the more frequently and with the greater amount of conviction she professed her contempt for the family and me, the more I found myself resisting her absurd beliefs and, eventually, her. And the more I resisted, the greater the anger that raged silently within me.

I am not stupid! I would constantly affirm, like a mantra. I will become someone, someday!

Deep inside, I wanted nothing more than to prove my mother wrong. I wanted to prove to my mother that her son was not stupid and that her family would amount to something, someday. Even at a young age, I knew intuitively that I had to break out of this vicious cycle of poverty. Instead of resigning to a lifetime of poverty just because my parents were poor, I held a deep and strong conviction that I wanted very much to become someone, someday. So, while most children would say that they want to become a doctor, fireman or dancer, when asked what it is that they want to do when they grow up, I would say, “The chairman of a big company!”

But how do I do that?

Trapped in an environment that was mired in constant negativity, I was completely at my wits end. With no answers to my questions, I found myself mentally and emotionally entangled in a web where I strived to be better to prove my mother wrong, while struggling with the seething anger inside me that intensified each time she lashed out at the family.

“Trapped in an environment that was mired in constant negativity, I was completely at my wits end.”

My anger towards my parents, my upbringing, the environment and even the world turned me bitter and angry. And over time, I developed a streak of rebelliousness that often got me into hot soup.

On one particular occasion, I had accompanied my mother to the local town council office, where she had to pay our monthly rental and utilities bill. While she was waiting in line to make her payment, I stood by a big pond outside of the office, where a handful of children were squatting, with their backs facing me, admiring and feeding the fishes swimming there. Out of sheer boredom, I strode over and kicked as many children as I could into the pond.

Ploop! Ploop! Ploop! I looked on with satisfaction as, one by one, the children plunged helplessly into the water and their panic-stricken parents scrambled frantically to hoist them out.

Needless to say, I received a harsh beating from my mother over that. But that incident was just one of many where I got beaten by my mother for badly misbehaving. It reached the point where, on another occasion, the police were called in as I had been hit by my mother till I bled.

I had not been conducting myself well at home, and I was certainly no better at school. My unruly behavior persisted throughout primary school. Nicknamed ‘The Little Volcano’ by a teacher whom I am fondly in touch with till today, I was an angry and highly strung boy who picked fights with his peers almost every other week. In school, I became a notorious figure and it did not help matters when I won most fights that I fought. Deep inside, I secretly harbored the thought of becoming a king and even conquering the world!

Still, I was not altogether bad. Just as there are two sides of a coin, each of us possesses a polarity of traits that is both good and bad. As angry and rebellious as I was then, I caught glimpses of my compassionate side when it was not otherwise eclipsed by my defiant streak. One particular instance that best exemplifies my surprising occasional empathy for others took place when I was seven.

One day, one of the blocks in my neighborhood was engulfed by a big fire. As a young boy, I watched helplessly as the residents fled their homes and the fire consumed what was left of a very old block. With little that I could do to help, I turned instinctively towards my mother to ask her if I could pray for the victims of the fire. Seeing my earnest desire to help in what little way I could, my mother just smiled approvingly. By that time, I was no stranger to Buddhist chanting as my mother had just been introduced to Buddhist chanting and practices. With her consent, I dropped to my knees at once and started to chant for hours on end, on my own accord.

Little did I know then, that the next time that I would be taking the initiative to chant again would be many years later. And little did I know that this desire to pray would also become one of my saving graces later in life...

Mind over matter

A “dis-ease”, as the word suggests, can be loosely defined as the lack of ease. While most of us would immediately associate this lack of ease with some problem solely in the body, this lack of ease may be extended to the mind.
