Do
you feel shortchanged by life? There just isn't enough - not enough
time, not enough money, and not nearly enough happiness?
Are
you searching for meaning in life? Is good luck something that happens
to somebody else?
It's
a common disease, and it's spreading. Fortunately, there is a
cure.
Hello,
Would
you let me do you a favor? Unplug the phone, turn off the television,
send the kids to a movie, put the dog out, and do not answer the door.
Sit back, relax, and appreciate just how comfortable that chair can
make you feel. Concentrate on the quiet around you. There is a peace
to the stillness, and if you let it, the peace will saturate you, much
like a spring rain being soaked up by a patch of wildflowers.
Take
your time and enjoy the serenity that you have created for yourself.
When you are ready, and hopefully feeling a bit more at peace than
before, there is a secret that I would like to share with you. Then,
I want to offer you a free gift -- and an opportunity to make
this secret a part of your life!
Life's
Problems Can Be Solved Instantly!
Have you
ever noticed that some people always seem happy? They smile a lot.
They are fun to be around. Their lives are filled with abundance.
Whatever they set out to accomplish, they succeed. Their lives seem to
be filled with meaning. They seem to be the luckiest people
alive.
It's
not luck. They have discovered secrets that can change life forever.
I would
like to introduce you to some very special people. They have been
friends, colleagues, and patients. Ordinary people with ordinary
lives, but finding extraordinary wisdom hidden within. Many have found
challenge in their lives: loss, illness, unhappiness, cancer, and yes,
even death. Each found powerful secrets of life within the challenge.
Many of
us are defeated by life's challenges. Some of us learn from them. Only
a few will see the wisdom, discover the secrets, and enjoy
miraculous transformation in their lives.
These
are secrets that heal. Secrets that you can share in.
These
special people have been my teachers. They have taught important
lessons. Lessons more important than those I learned in paramedic
training and at the fire academy. Lessons far more valuable than those
delivered in college lecture halls. Lessons that medical school could
not teach. They have been powerful teachers, and I invite you to learn
from them as well.
Let
me tell you a true story.
A
middle-aged man was standing in one of my examination rooms early
one morning. He was smiling broadly, which was something of a
miracle as I had never known this man to smile. He looked happy,
which seemed even more miraculous. Stranger still, he made me feel
at peace, when just moments earlier I had felt harried and stressed.
The
miracle was not in his smile, his happiness, or in how he made me
feel. The miracle was that just a few days earlier he was dead.
Alex
was a professional man whose schedule and responsibilities mirrored
his success. For many weeks he had been experiencing strange
sensations in his chest. It wasn't pain, so it did not concern him.
Convinced that the sensations were from gastric reflux, he carried a
roll of antacids with him wherever he went.
One
morning, Alex felt the now familiar sensation while sitting in a
meeting. It was no different than the hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of episodes that had come before, but this time, he got up from his
meeting and drove himself across town to the hospital. Standing
before the registration clerk of the emergency room, Alex pointed to
his chest and told her that he thought something was wrong with his
heart. In that instant, he collapsed across her desk, and died.
His
smile took the chill from the coolness of the examination room. I
tingled with excitement, wondering what mysteries he could speak of.
He turned to me and said,
"Dying was the best thing that
ever happened to me."
There
are moments in life powerful enough to change us instantly and
forever. Far too often, though, these special moments come when we are
not present to notice, lost in the dramas of yesterday or our plans
for tomorrow. Perhaps wisdom is living the richness that each day
offers, being present to recognize those moments with the power to
transform us, and seizing them before they can slip away into the
currents of time.
Physicians
are entrusted within the lives of their patients, lives woven from the
threads of spirituality, touched by the mysteries of the universe, and
filled with stories to tell.
These
stories can teach the secrets of a life filled with meaning, of
wisdom, and of extraordinary journeys. They are sacred lessons, far
too precious to be hidden away in the sterility of the hospital and
the coldness of the examination room. They are lessons that teach of a
miraculous place and shine light on the path that will take us
there.
"This book has all of
the wisdom one could seek, told in a heart-warming way that
touched me deeply. When a book leads me to tears and joy, as
this book has, I know it contains the essence of life. Read it
and reap the benefits and wisdom from the experience of
others."
Bernie Siegel, M.D., author
of 365 Prescriptions for the Soul and
101 Exercises For The Soul.
Just
imagine. You can learn the secrets that incredible life events teach;
of discovery, of cancer, and even of death, all without experiencing
illness, dying, or even leaving the comfort of your chair.
Foreword
by John Harricharan
Throughout my
life, I've considered books to be some of my closest friends,
strange as that may seem. In moments of great distress, I have
found myself reaching reaching for a book and opening it to a
page - any page - to start reading. Thee is a magical, mystical
quality to a good book. It gives you an opportunity to listen to
the author speak to you personally and share with you whatever
seems important. At the end of your reading, you may even think
of the author as a teacher, a mentor, a guide, or even more important,
an old friend who shares wisdom and insight.
When I received a copy of Dr.
William Hablitzel's manuscript, Dying Was the Best Thing That
Ever Happened to Me, I decided that I was going to look at
it as soon as I got a chance. Now you must understand that I get
tons of books from people who want me to read their manuscripts
and make a comment. Much as I'd love to, I would be spending my
every waking moment reading if I did that. But once in a while,
once in a long. long while, a certain book grabs me by the
throat and will not let me go until I decide to sit down and
read it immediately.
So it was with Bill's book.
The haunting title and the urge to find out what it meant
combined to make me put aside all my other time commitments and
to start reading. And that was the beginning of a whole new,
glorious adventure. I kept reading and could not stop until the
early hours of the morning when I had turned the last page.
There was a sense of freedom and hope, coupled with a slight
sadness. The sense of freedom and hope came from what I read in
the book; the sadness was because I had come to the end and
there was no more to be read. Any author who can do that to a
reader is a master of the art and science of writing.
In his book, Bill combines his
experience as a great physician and teacher with rare wisdom and
insight to create a brilliant guide for life and living. And he
does this with beautiful, yet simple words. Many of my good
friends are physicians so I am used to their complex ways of
writing way above the head of the common person. Not so with
Bill, the author, and Bill, the doctor. Somehow the two blend
into one as words of comfort, hope, and mystery flow onto paper.
This book brings new meaning
to the words dying and living. The stories told
here are true and came from Bill's special experiences as a
physician who has seen much and who wanted to make a difference
in his corner of the universe. There is a great temptation for
me to tell you a bit about the stories in this book, But I will
refrain from doing so. I do not want to deprive you, the reader,
of the pleasure of discovery as you go through the pages. After
all, I was privileged to explore and discover for myself the
beauty and wisdom, the joy and sadness, the mystery and the
magic of this special book.
The late great Dr. Elisabeth
Kubler-Ross, author of the classic book On Death and Dying,
was a very close friend of mine. I was the vice president of the
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Center for a number of years until her
retirement. Many an evening, after dinner, we would sit in her
living room and discuss the meaning of life, death, and the
afterlife. Sometimes, those discussions would go very late into
the night, and they were always exciting and "leaningful."
I would never presume to say that I know exactly what she would
have thought about this book, but since I knew her so well, I
cannot help but think that she would have smiled and said,
"What a wonderful book! It should be read by every
inhabitant of this planet."
Do not only buy this book for
yourself, Get a copy for someone near and dear to you. You'll be
glad you did. Keep your copy in a safe place and read it often.
Beware of lending it to others because, I assure you, the
chances of having it returned are slim. You'll want to return
again and again to the moving, true stories that are contained
within.
Thank you. Bill. Thank you for
sharing this wonderful work with all of us. thank you for
showing us the compassionate heart of a true doctor. I must warn
you, however, that after your readers complete this volume, they
will clamor for more and you might find yourself in the middle
of a sequel to further the insights you've provided here. I for
one, will keep pestering you until you sit down and write more -
hopefully, many more - books like this one.

Such
was my awareness when special teachers shared their secrets with me.
"Cancer saved my life", the young man said with gratitude.
An elderly lady whispered from her hospital bed, "We do not have
much time". "I didn't start to live until I started to
die", the old man said with a smile.

Imagine having a
teacher that knew the secrets of happiness. Can you fathom lessons
that would solve all of your problems, instantly? Picture a wise soul
teaching you how to heal your life -- of illness, scarcity, and
unhappiness. Do such teachers exist? Where does one go to find them?
Let me assure you, such
teachers exist.
Not only do they exist,
they abound! Most of us will never recognize the many teachers that
weave in and out of our lives, unable to see the special amidst the
clutter that has become our days. Fortunately, good teachers are
persistent and always seem to stick around. The exceptional teachers
seek us out, even if we are not quite ready to understand the lessons
that they offer.
So it was with my
teachers, the teachers that I would like to share with you. Their
lessons have come from the ordinary and the extraordinary, from life
and death. Lessons that proved miracles are not only possible, they
happen with regularity. I've seen it!
"In these pages, Dr.
William Hablitzel shows why the practice of medicine is a
sacred calling. Dying Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened
to Me is more like a healing than a book. If I sere sick,
I'd want Bill Hablitzel to be my doctor."
Larry Dossey, M.D., author
of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things
What would the
secrets of happiness be worth to you?
What would you pay to talk to
somebody that survived cancer, to learn how they did it? What would it
be worth to you to discover how to become immensely happy, overnight?
What value would you place on the story told by someone who had died,
and the lessons that they brought back from the other side?
The price of an office visit with
your doctor? A night on the town with your favorite companion? Tickets
to a play?
Most would agree, such lessons, such
secrets would be priceless. I want you to start learning from my
teachers right now, for nothing!
That's right. Start
healing your life this instant. For free!
