The Gentle Way: requesting most benevolent outcomes

[rgmwilliams]

I am amazed at the results of using MBO's. They've helped me so much since I've began using them - for the last week. Now, my thoughts and questions:

• It's been my perception that a few MBO's haven't worked out, but this must be JUST a perception. It may be since I perceived nothing happened, this "fact" may mean I didn't understand it. Am I right? Or did they simply not workout? Or should I be concerned about a time frame? Or should I make the same MBO for the same thing every so often?
• A day or two ago, I made the MBO that I fully understand my MBO's materializing and I learn from them. I'm wondering how this can manifest itself. If so, what do I need to look out for?
• My wife is recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) which has been unbelieveably painful to me. As in Tom's book, I've been asking that she have a full and speedy recovery. Is there anything I can do to improve the possibilities?

Thank you for any thoughts on my thoughts and questions.

When you say an MBO you just have to stay open to anything happening, many times in this thread it's been said that if you do an MBO for something big you have to have patience and wait and see how it works. MBO's are something you just have to keep working with and your perception of them will grow, you'll notice things happening in synchronistic ways....that's the tipoff of me anyway.

Asking for a full and speedy recovery is good, so there's nothing wrong there, but I would also say BP's for your wife on individual things too, for her healing. I'm not familar with the type of injury you're talking about, but every little thing that comes up you can do a BP for it, from her daily needs to anything that seem's to give her a problem, to pain and stiffness... etc...I'm sure you know what I mean.

Let's all say a Benevolent Prayer outloud to assist RG and his wife. Remember that all of us saying this has a crescendo effect.
"I ask any and all beings to bring great healing energy to RGMWilliams, wife to assist in her recovery, and to lead RGMWilliams to the best treatments for her condition, thank you!"

Thanks AngelPsychic444 - I wasn't quite sure how to view this - I like your statement, "MBO's are something you just have to keep working with and your perception of them will grow, you'll notice things happening in synchronistic ways....that's the tipoff of me anyway."

Thanks Tom...I ran into your website/newsletter just after this happened to my wife, so the timing was more than coincidental. I enjoyed your first book and keep it handy.

MBO's and BP's have really helped with intentionality (I don't know if that's a word, but I hope the word is understood in this situation).

[lironil]

I've read through the articles and wonder, if a relationship with the guy I have feelings for went downhill and I'm working hard to fix things but right now we aren't even talking (last time I messaged him a few weeks ago he ignored me), how will I voice my MBO? What do I ask for? I suppose now I just want to start communicating with him again.

First I would suggest you say, "I request a Most Benevolent Outcome to have all energy cords attached which are not in my best interest to be severed at this time thank you!"
If you're still supposed to connect in some form or fashion with the guy then this will not affect that, but if you're supposed to move on, it will help you to do so.

Next you can say, "I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for my relationship with ______ to be reestablished if this is in both of our best interests, thank you!"
Then you have to accept whatever the outcome is. Perhaps you both learned from the experience and now the decks have to be cleared for you to meet someone new and exciting--we don't know, so trust in your GA being able to see the road ahead of you and keep you on the path that is in your highest and best interest.

Thank you Tom I will do both although I am truly certain we are meant to meet again. I have been getting signs but not from the MBOs..
So I'll do that.

Thanks for the reminder Tom... I just said the BP!

[congruenthealth]

Hi everyone,
I posted a day or two ago about MBOs and how much I was enjoying this new way of communicating with my GA. I feel that she's been around helping me for a very long time, and she, plus my spirit guides and just some native clairsentient abilities, has really helped me to achieve what I have achieved in my life, as well as been there during my "learning experiences" or when I've stumbled.

I've been having so much fun wiht MBOs the past few days ever since I discovered them...have had extraordinary success at work and with the little requests...and am faithfully requesting my MBOs for the big things (my student loans to be paid off in an unexpected manner, to meet my perfet mate, etc!) daily, as i understand that for the big stuff, sometimes there is extra work for our GAs to employ. I'm a project manager and I sometimes wonder if my GA is a PM as well....so much to coordinate and manage and make sure everything falls into place :-)

Anyway. I had one of the "unexpected" MBO experiences tonight, I asked for a MBO for a great experience at two stores I went to, and got a seriously long line at one that seemed to take an unnaturally long time and another experience where everything was overpriced and well, it just felt odd. So I'm wondering what my GA was doing, most likely keeping me safe and preoocupied while something else was going on. So odd, especially after I've had almost immediate and fantastic responses up to tonight. I figure she's working on something so hey, I'm not complaining. :-)

Anyway, just wanted to post this and see if anyone else has had "less than expected MBOs" only to find that they turned into something great. Now, I know that "shopping" is not a life changing event, but hey, the way my life goes, the smallest thing can sometimes be the biggest.

Just curious. Have a great day/night/afternoon/morning (depending on where you are in the world!!)

I asked Tom to ask his ET friend (Antura) he's in contact with from the Federation of Planets about having an etheric visit at night while sleeping to the Federation ships. Also, Tom channels or "talks" to Antura the same way he communicates with his own guardian angel Theo.

I included an MBO at the end of this post in case anyone would like to visit a ship in their dreams.
---------------------------

Tom, in your last newsletter, in the question for Antura he talked about a person having an etheric visit of an ET ship, can you ask Antura when you have time, if there is a way for humans to visit the Federation ships at night while we sleep?

Tom:
Good day and good life Antura. I’m asked if there is a way to visit Federation ships during our sleep or dreaming time?

Yes Tom, but it requires the dreamer to be able to dream lucidly and request that they be accompanied to a Federation ...ship, which would receive them. Naturally it would be best if they visit a ship from their star system or home planet. As has been reported, some people are taken there by their own people and introduced to concepts and to the ship itself to prepare them for when the Federation ships come to visit publicly. There will be much more of this during the years leading up to public contact so that the fear level of the population as a whole will not be so high.

Tom:
How do you manipulate us in our dreamtime to visit the ships?

Yes, this is fairly easy to do from our point of view Tom. In future years you will learn much about the etheric body and eventually how to control it yourself. This is not too far in your future, but far enough that it sounds like science fiction at this time. We are simply able to project ourselves, naturally with the soul’s permission, to take the place of what you call your dream angels and escort you to the spaceships. It is all done in a meditative state. We do not use fancy instruments or machines, but our training allows us to meet you on a dream level. You may also notice from reading about other close encounters that it seems like a dream to the people, as it is difficult to recall. This is all accomplished, as I said before, with your soul’s permission for your learning purposes.

---------------------------

Thanks so much Tom for asking Antura about my question. I'm glad you added that second question of your own. This is a fantastic topic to explore, and I hope we can come up with some great MBO's to get started. I am going to try one and... see how it goes, "I request the most benevolent outcome to to have a lucid dream and be accompanied to a Federation ship which would like to receive me and may this outcome be even better than I could hope for or expect...thank you"

Another way to make this MBO more specific so that you can go to your "star system or home planet" would be to add something like Pleiadian, Arcturian, Andromadan... (there many others).

The MBO I will use is "I request the most benevolent outcome to to have a lucid dream and be accompanied to a Pleiadian Federation ship which would like to receive me and may this outcome be even better than I could hope for or expect...thank you"

[Keirith]

Regarding an MBO which was relatively small, did not turn out as expected, but had a different outcome, here is mine.

I had asked for a MBO early one morning, that I could complete a large number of claim determinations at work. This is my job. This is not due to my working harder, as I need to receive requested documents from extremal sources to complete the determinations, so I thought it would be a perfect kind of request.
In any case the day went on and I did complete one, then started another which could not complete because of technical difficulties beyond my control.
I was a bit disappointed, only one determination while I was hoping for about 6.
The next day I asked 'why did you fail me?', and I instantly got this message in my head:
"If you had gotten alot of determinations that day, you would not have time to devote to another important issue that needed to be addressed on that day". And then I knew, I understood. I had forgotten that I had this other task to do when I asked for the MBO, a task that could not wait. If I had a large number of determinations to do, this other task could not have been completed correctly.
Yes a 'failed' MBO, but when I questioned it in my heart, I got the perfect answer.

Very good observation on your part about how all that worked out! Also, you could do general MBO's for your work, such as "I request the most benevolent outcome to have a very productive, happy, joyful and fun filled day at work, and may this outcome be even better than I could hope for or expect....thank you"

The MBO you did was more specific but still it was very good, so doing specific MBO's as well general ones, really cover all the bases.

Lisa's point is something to think about - when I ask for an MBO, the thought is present, I am asking for an "Outcome", but will I have the wisdom to see the grand scheme of the situation? I hope so . . .

. . . Keirith's situation drives my point/question home. But Keirith saw it; how many other times do we miss the outcome? I have made an MBO that I understand the overall situation. It's overarching or almost recursive... MBO's, though, are such a powerful tool and are giving me confidence.

[Kaie]

I believe a MBO saved me from a serious accident.

I was driving a few days, ad my steering wheel was shaking. I said MBOs to get me where I was going until I could get it looked at.

Then it got really bad, it was so scary, and I had to drive home. I said a MBO and got home safely.

Than my bf checked my tires and found that my front tire was only held on my one lug nut!!! It had just come out of the shop, and the mechanic had apparently not tightened the lug nuts. I was extremely lucky to have made it home. I truly believe that it was my MBO that helped.

[grapefruit]

Does trust play a contributing factor to whether or not your guardian angels comply with your requests? Because I've said some mbo's during calculus exams in the past and have not had the same results as I had when I began using mbo's during exams. Has anyone had this issue before?

It's interesting you should bring this up, just yesterday I was thinking about this, how trust helps so much with MBO's. When I trust my GA completely and get the out the way sort of, or just KNOW my GA is going to help me....things always work out better.

So the thing to do is just say your MBO with expectation and excitement and then let it go and do something else, and just forget about it. I can't tell you how times I did this myself and things worked out so well... I was amazed. For me this was a big lesson in trust, I do think you have to get to the point where you just KNOW or completely trust your GA and in turn feel absolutely wonderful about your relationship with your GA. This is something you can move into slowly, I didn 't just "get this" overnight, so if you have problems with it... just move in that direction as best you can, things will work out in the end.

[grapefruit]

I believe the most challenging this for me is probably my own personal beliefs that I am unprepared for the task assigned even though I have been paying attention and studying in class. I will do my best and seek my angel's guidance tonight as I study and as well as tomorrow when I take the exam. I need to trust my guardian angel (and myself!) some more! AngelPsychic444, how did you gain trust in your guardian angels?

[Ilique]

I find the concept of MBO's to be really interesting.

I hadn't heard of them prior to reading this thread. At the time when I first tapped into this particular thread, I had a tooth that was really bothering me (read: absolute anguish!). So I did a verbal MBO about my tooth and I immediately - I mean, at that very moment! - felt the pain subside.

So I did this regularly while I waited for the day when I could get in to the dentist and have the tooth pulled. The tooth still hurt but it seemed I could deaden it somewhat by asking for a benevolent outcome. I also did an MBO to ask that it healed quickly and the healing process has been smooth and without problems.

Another MBO I tried led me to wonder, though, about how much these MBO's might be self-fulfilling due to forming a positive attitude about the outcome requested. I found, for example, that if I was driving to rehearsal in another town (about 11 miles away), and I did an MBO requesting a good outcome for my drive, I would feel myself relax - literally, tense muscles in my neck and shoulders relaxing. That made me feel more comfortable overall, which made my drive more pleasant. And I wondered if the benevolent outcomes could, at least in good part, be created by our own selves and not a guardian angel or other 'being'.

In respect to public disclosure, I am not sure what I truly believe in. I can't believe some of what I read on this forum, but I have a healthy curiousity and a fairly open mind. I've had enough unexplainable (by 'normal' standards) experiences in my life to know that there are things out there we don't fully understand. I believe in energy within living things and within some non-living things, too, and that the energy can be useful if we choose to make it so.

But I'm just not sure I believe in the guardian angel as it's talked about in this forum. I lean more toward the side of "we are our OWN guardian angels and create our own positive outcomes".

I'm not trying to discredit anyone else's beliefs! I see many people on here have varying beliefs on almost every topic and all of those people deserve respect for their beliefs. But I wonder if there are others who have similar beliefs as I do, regarding the self-fulfilling of an MBO request. Anyone?

[AngelPsychic444]

AngelPsychic444, how did you gain trust in your guardian angels?

For me, the way I gained trust was to just keeping requesting help from my guardian angel, by using MBO's. As time goes by this trust just "grows" on you I think, and you begin to just trust them, especially when your MBO's work out so magnificently! That fantastic feeling really increases your love and trust for the angels.

Also, before I started to use MBO's (a friend told me about them), I had already been involved in using angel invocations, that you can find in many of the angel books out there now. I had also gotten to the point, after a lot of practice, where I could do angel readings at psychic fairs. I had much experience behind me before I even attempted MBO's, and when I did find this method of requesting help from your guardian angel, I was very excited because I could see how easy it made it, the invocations I used were OK but were more complex and a little harder to work with.

If I were to stand back and look at all the experiences I've had with angels, I would have to say I began to trust them a little at a time, and it just kept building and building, there's no magic forumula for gaining trust, it just happens as time goes by.

By now I feel comfortable just talking out loud to my angels, when you start to treat them as you would another human being and just relate to them in ordinary ways, that show's them you're gaining the ability to just relax with them around and in turn they will take a step closer to you. It's like, in my opinion anyway, they are always looking to see how you react to them, so as not to unbalance you or scare you, they do wish you to be so comfortable with them that you want to be around them all day long, and constantly seek out there counsel and assistance. The angels really can become your best friends, and it's all up to you.

[FlyingLight]

Thank you very much AngelPsychic for introducing MBO to us.

I have been reading many pages of this thread, but I haven't finished yet. I have ordered Tom's books as well and I am waiting to receive it. His website is full of information too.

I nonetheless started MBO but haven't reached my small success yet, but I will keep on trying to contact my GA for sure. I stay open to the possibilities.

Melanie

Melanie, I've been requesting MBO's now going on 15 years. I had tried all the Law of Attraction type methods and found them lacking in results. When I first read in the Sedona Journal a channeled article by Robert Shapiro (he channeled Zoosh, a creator that assists our Creator) that you can request benevolent outcomes in your life, I was "inspired" to try it out myself. I had nothing to go on but I "knew" how to request MBO's.

They worked PERFECTLY even with no great energy put behind them. Yes you do get a positive feeling from requesting MBO's. It comes not only from trust, but also I believe from the "good vibrations" sent to you by your own GA.

As I have mentioned several times on this thread, I didn't know until years later that requesting MBO's makes you more AWARE, raises your vibrational level, and as my GA Theo says, it's the FIRST MAJOR STEP to cocreating with spirit--it takes you to another level. All I knew is that it worked PERFECTLY, and when it did not seem to, months or even a year or two later I would see why, as it was keeping me on my soul path.

But of course as humans we have to analyze everything and question, question, question, which is what you're doing now. All the great religions mention angels by one name or another. You can google guardian angels in the Bible (mentioned as an example in Matthew), and yesterday I looked up a passage in the Quaran for a FB friend. It's 86:4 and you can google that too. In Judism, on the eve of Shabbat or before Friday evening dinner it is customary to greet ones Guardian Angels or Angels of Service. In the Hindu religion they believe all devine beings are assigned jobs such as a guardian.

Perhaps your next step is to try meditation and connect with your own Guardian Angel and ask questions. I do encourage everyone to go into this light alpha meditative state and ask questions, just as I do and either write or type them on a computer as I do--as I can't remember even 10% of what I received upon coming back to the normal beta level.

I look forward to hearing of your progress!

Dear Tom,

All over the world, there are millions of people who everyday pray, but most pf them don't get results.

In which way MBO is different ? It's also a prayer so why should the GA hear more "clearly" MBO than another prayers ?

This goes back to that last post I did.

My GA Theo told me that this is the FIRST MAJOR STEP (yes I'm repeating) in cocreating with spirit. And it's something so simple that ANYONE can do, no matter whether they are just being introduced to spiritual concepts, or someone who has spent the last 30 or 40 years reading everything they can get their hands on and have experimented with all sorts of modalities.

And by requesting a BENEVOLENT outcome you are not demanding a specific outcome--just the best one that is actually not only for you and your soul contract, but is benevolent for all those connected with the request. As you may have noticed most prayers are "give me this" or "I want you to do this." MBO requests are "I'm asking for this but I'm relying on your knowledge to know if this is best for me and for everyone else."

So you may request a MBO to win the lottery, but that probably is not on your soul contract; the benevolent outcome will be the person who has a soul contract to experience sudden great wealth wins, and then has to learn how to handle this. This is the same "template" as for the person who inherits great wealth, finds a vein of gold, etc.

And note how simple these requests are. There are no dieties mentioned, so it allows everyone to use these requests, and if they believe the request is going to God, Allah, Veshnu, Jesus, Mohammad, or a Guardian Angel as I believe, that's OK. I think I was "inspired" to word it that way.

Hope this answers it a little bit better. Perhaps others on this thread can contribute and mention something I forgot.

[FlyingLight]

Thank you so much Tom for your answer, I guess this one is very common, so I appreciate you clarified it again.

I guess also that this sentence (I request the/a MBO) also works in foreign languages as long as the word or concept benevolent exists in these languages ?

[Ilique]

Tom -

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. I'm glad that you took my post in the manner in which I intended it - asking, not criticizing.

I'm a ponderer .. *L* .. yes, I ponder everything until it makes sense for me, for my situation, and for my life. I don't automatically believe something I read or hear or see, so my scepticism comes honestly. Sometimes I find sense in my ponderings and accept things that can't be truly proven, and other times I accept simply because I WANT to believe. And others I discard because I just can't find the truth in them.

But I can say this: when my father was dying of cancer, he "saw" his parents and my brother (all passed on) in the room with him, and he said "There IS life after death!" What is especially surprising about this is that my father was - absolutely was - a non-spiritual, non-religious person. And if Dad - the ULTIMATE sceptic! - can believe in spirits, then who am I to deny their existance?

But I still find the MBO's to be somewhat self-fulfilling, and maybe that's part of the joy of them.

Melanie

I have been using benevolent angel requests for months and months now and I have to say if you have not tried them you must! They are so amazing and a wonderful blessing to incorporate into your life. The angels want so much to help us but cannot without us asking for help. I have had amazing experiences with their help and I hope more people will give these a try as well!

Last night, I said an MBO for help and the strength to be able to handle the almost-unbearable stress my family has been under since we moved to Massachusetts in October.

We decided, in August, to move here to Springfield, MA to start fresh. We left Orlando, Florida on September 30, driving a moving truck with everything in it, and arrived in Springfield on October 1. We stayed in a motel for two weeks while we looked for a place for the five of us (my mom, sister, her husband, my niece, and me) to live. We found a 2-story house and moved in around mid-October. So we had a place to stay, but no one had a job. Soon after we moved in, my sister got two jobs, but eventually lost one due to conflicting time constraints. Her husband doesn't work (don't get me started on his story; suffice it to say he does not help out in any way, shape, or form). My mom only recently--about two weeks ago (2 whole months after arriving in MA)--got a seasonal, part-time job. I've been helping out financially with my monthly SSI checks.

But now we don't have heat upstairs (my mom, my cousin [he moved in from NY a week or so before Thanksgiving and works with my mom now], and I live upstairs, while my sister, her husband, and my niece live downstairs). Our heat upstairs is oil-fueled and we didn't realize that, for the past month, our heat has been on almost constantly, but the valves to the steam radiators were closed, essentially wasting the oil, so now we're coming into the coldest time of the year and we've no heat--it's 60 degrees upstairs right now . We're under incredible stress.

Going back to what I started this post with, my MBO included asking my grandmother to be with me and give me strength. Then I turned on the TV and saw that an episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories was on, but was about halfway finished. I normally don't watch episodes I haven't seen before unless I can watch them in their entirety, but I turned this one on anyway.

The celebrity was Kim Coles, and she was recounting an experience of automatic writing in which her deceased grandmother with whom she'd been close before her passing came through to aid Kim in leaving her romantic partner before their relationship became physically violent. She ended her story and the episode by saying something to the effect of "She is with me, and whenever I need to find that calm and peace again, I know I can use her to achieve it."

I believe my grandmother came through and let me know she's with me by leading me to watch Kim Coles's story. I'm going to start saying more MBOs for help from our loved ones and GA's. I try to have faith that everything will work out, but I need their reassurance.

That is a wonderful story! The angels and our loved ones are all around us and will help us if we only ask them to! I am glad you received such a clear answer from your MBO!
