Foreword
By Rune Amundsen
Author, speaker. and ex-psychologist
Essentially, there are two ways of looking at life: either everything is meaningful or everything is meaningless. Dagfrid goes for meaning. Dagfrid goes for the idea that human beings have been given the gift by Nature—or God if you like—of being able to create their own reality.
It stands to good reason that, if we are able to make ourselves sick, we might as well use our powers to make ourselves happy and well; and what is more—and what is of utmost importance—is that the experience of sickness and health both have an intrinsic holy nature.
Dagfrid tells us a story of power—the potential power of inner knowledge and joy that had hidden itself and had lain dormant in the deepest crises of her life. Most of her life was in ruin, both in terms of social life and her faltering health. But she managed to turn it all the other way around; the crisis became a gift of renewal and inspiration for herself and the people she met along the way.
One of Dagfrid’s biggest assets is courage—courage to explore … courage to make a difference.
Her book of hope is one of those stories that charms
and paves the way for others to find their own unique paths. She points the way to the inbuilt self-healing process of Nature and helps us ultimately to rest peacefully and joyfully in the miracle of the aliveness
of our bodies.
Dagfrid tells a story about discovering her inner healer. Not in solitude and isolation; that is not the way of Dagfrid. Neither did Dagfrid rely solely on the inner healer; she sought help from modern medicine as well as from complementary medicine and even explored spiritual paths and exercises.
Dagfrid has actively explored the process of her illness in terms of its social, psychic, and physical ramifications. The stories her illness needed to tell her resulted in healing and joy. She made her discoveries. She found her way.
A scientist in the sense of knowing and living her skill by experience, Dagfrid shares openly and candidly her life and discoveries with us. She has important things to say, and her book and her being in the world are invitations to join in and explore and enrich our own lives.
There is no doubt that illness is a stern teacher. But any illness has the power to show us its illusionary nature, and indeed it has the power to even teach us by experience the illusionary nature of death and separation itself.
Preface
Welcome, dear reader.
Life is one long process. There are always new things to learn. That is one of the exciting things about living.
Many years ago I was certain that I knew almost everything. Later on a lot of what I had thought of as truths were turned upside down.
Because what is truth?
I believed academic medicine and all scientific research were safely grounded in great wisdom and truth. Then, when I was confronted with a cancer diagnosis, my inner voice started to tell me otherwise.
The recent unveiling of false cancer research did not surprise me. Maybe it is just the tip of the iceberg as has been said several times in the media. This has also given me additional energy to come forward with my story based on what I have actually experienced in my own body.
I share everything I have learned about cancer because I have already experienced that some of my fellow humans could benefit from my experiences.
I have not been sitting here healthy today without the help of many people who have been with me during my journey. They have shared their wisdom and love and have supported me in my choices.
This led me to finding new strength within myself.
New insights came to me, and I have been able to leave behind the old ones that no longer are useful. My experiences have enabled me to grow, let me become truer and wiser. I have even become more closely connected with my own power.
In great love and humbleness I thank all the helpers and teachers who made my life possible and thereby helped to give me the pleasure of writing my story.
Thank you to my two sons who showed me their great love when I needed it most. Thank you to friends, family members, doctors, and the psychologist who, each in his or her own way, have contributed to help me to go on. They showed me new truths and supported me in my own choices on this magical journey that life is. One big thank you to the doctor I met in the middle of my cancer journey. She did not believe in my choice and thereby forced me to stand up for myself and to take responsibility for my own life.
This incident turned out to be very important for my entire cancer story—and for me.
My story was very complex. I had several shocks, one on top of the other. I had to process massive heaps of conflicts.
The best thing for me now is to live one day at the time, and today I am glad that I did not know how long it would take to work through all the shocks and conflicts.
It is also important for me to leave behind me the processes that I have been through. I must live as much as possible in present time. It has taken me a while to reconstruct my cancer story.
Modern cancer treatment is based on fighting
and killing.
Most people feel fear just hearing the word cancer.
I believe in cooperation, even between our wonderful, wise,
