We have all seen or heard of some miracle
or form of healing not considered possible by the medical or scientific
communities. We have heard of people
who can create masterful illusions that confound all senses. We have heard of shamen and medicine men or psychics
or spiritualists who have communicated
with the dead or healed the living by
magical incantations. Mankind has
always been susceptable to a hoax or a
con . World governments and religions
operate by their masterful illusions
of godlike or militaristic supremecy.
Their illusion is based on the false
belief that those who follow them actually believe in the institutions and
authority. Most follow for the sake of
conveniance and expediancy. The power
of these institutions is given to them
by the passive collective beliefs and
cynicism of their followers.
All spiritual and political leaders are
master manipulators, show men or
illusionists. Many years ago I read
a book by a man with only one name,
Neville. He wrote and lectured
during the 1960's and 70's. His writings
and lectures were based upon the power
of the imagination and how it alters the
physical reality and can change the world
as it changed his life and that of his many students who used his techniques
of visualization. Neville's book was
entitled The Promise. It took for one of
its major premises the teaching of Christ
who said " Knock and the door will open...,
ask and you shall receive". Neville
states, that all prophets were not people
who saw the future, but they saw visions
of how they would like the future to be.
They gave their followers a vision to
embrace and a lofty ideal to center their
existence upon for an individual and a society to achieve.
Neville's book cites example after example
of his students and himself creating first
in their minds a complete vision of what
or who they wanted to happen or become. Within days or weeks after using
the technique of visualization their
physical lives were completely transformed by a miraculous healing , a sudden increase in great wealth, or a perfect relationship, friendship or marrage. This process of visualization
has been used and perfected by artists,
athletes and entrepenuers for centuries.
So many successful people have discovered that visualization of their
goals was vital to there achievement of
it. Visualization is the force and foundation of all the greatest achievements of mankind. "If we can
imagine it we can have it."
Many who are reading this article might
be wondering if I have put these practices
to use in my own life. The answer is
yes. Have I had success in achieving
my goals and tranforming physical
reality? Yes, Yes, Yes. When I have
applied the strict disapline needed to
accomplish self abandonment, by my intense focus upon my desired vision, remarkable results occured. I will admit that I have failed to achieve immediate results in some of my visions but I continued my visualizations for several months
until the goal was achieved. But as a toothless child cannot chew a large steak, so is the person
that cannot fully vizualize their great success.
We can only achieve what we are able to fully conceive. When we first visualize our desires we
encounter many self doubts, and we must keep in mind the desires of others and that their imaginings of us may, if we do not recognized them , be interfering with own vision of what we want to achieve and what we believe of ourselves. If a person can successfully visualize his
desire, could that desire be injurious to
someone else or to you. Perhaps that
other person wants your job, your wife,
your wealth, your life. Unless you have
your own powerful vision of what you
want to create, then you are doomed to
become part of someone else's vision.
If we do not have a vision of ourselves as we want ourselves to be, then someone else will create us
the way they want us in their own vision. Remember that nature cannot tollerate a vacumn.
Disaplines of auto suggestion, focus and the wise use of imagination equate to the
high art of visualization which will
transform one's desire into reality.
The old adage of "Beware what you
wish for , it might come true" was first
stated by someone who understood the
effects of Visualization. We unconsiously create our own reality everyday by the positive or negative
thoughts we project. The imagination
can create war and conflict just as it can
create peace and harmony. If the majority of the consiousnesses of the people from all over the world could
be directed to the visions of doom and
gloom prophets why can't their collective consiousness be revised by
a new utopian vision. A vision where
all men and women cooperate fully with each other to ensure a seamless
reality where universal freedom, peace and love are the eternally indistructable
walls that will protect and defend human civilization. It is all only a thought away
for that vision to become reality.
Ghandi once said,"You must become
the change you wish to see in the world."
