What is The Imagination?

Posted on May 2, 2013 by admin — 1 Comment ↓

What is The Imagination?

We take imagination for granted. We talk about imagination as if it is this thing separate from human awareness. Imagination, we are told, isn’t real. Only things that we can touch and smell and see and hear and taste are real. However, few people consider that the very reason that they are able to understand the concepts of reality and imagination is because of the human ability to imagine. Somehow humans developed the ability to recall the past to present moment awareness. Humans are the only animals that we know of that are able to deliberately turn our attention and awareness toward creating a mental construct of past memories and mentally re-experience the memory in the present moment. In fact this ability to imagine could be considered the true hallmark of what it means to be human. Would you be shocked to learn that as recently as 35,000 years ago, humans didn’t seem to possess imagination? Let me explain.

I believe that the human brain developed the ability to imagine about 30,000 years ago. Why that date? The oldest artwork ever found is located in the french alps. In caves, anthropologists discovered highly detailed yet extremely stylized paintings of humans, animals and human/animal hybrids. Scientists have dated these paintings to about 30,000 years ago. Now, I cannot say what happen to cause this change in human behavior, however I do believe that the sudden appearance of artistic and highly symbolic imagery suggests a new ability that humanity did not posses before. That ability is imagination. It is the ability to imagine that literally allow us to communicate symbolically. Think about it. Speech, language, the written word, alphabets, sculpture, drawings, they are all symbolic representations of our personal perception of the world. With the ability to imagine came the ability to remember past events. Further we became able to imagine future consequences of our actions. The ability to re-experience past memories and the ability to imagine future events gave humans a sense of time. A sense of time that moves from past to present to future.

As to what gives us this ability. Scientists have recently discovered special neurons in our brains. These neurons seem to specialize in modeling behavior. When we observe the behavior of another person, especially one we know and trust, these neurons switch on to allow us to model their behavior. These neurons allow us to map our own sense of physical presence, our body awareness, onto what we imagine it is the person we are observing is doing.

This ability to lean by imitation requires our minds to be able to imagine something that is not literally true at this moment. This ability to learn through inference and imagination is one of the hallmarks of human creativity and intelligence.

However mirror neurons are not the whole story. Dreams are another function of the imagination. All mammals seem to dream. I think we have all observed a puppy dreaming and moving his legs or even barking in his sleep. Its cute, and we assume he is dreaming of running. However, at this moment we can’t know that, because the dog cannot tell us his experience. Humans have most likely experienced dreams since before we could be called human. There is know way to know if humans experienced dreams in the same way as we do now. Before 30,000 years ago there was no records of any kind. No pictures, no figurines, no idols, no symbols, nothing. I have to believe that if humans were able to record their dreams through symbolic paintings and sculptures, we would have. This suggests to me that humans were incapable of doing those things. Understand that a 5-year-old regularly draws out of instinct. No one has to teach a child how to draw, she draws naturally. This is something that we were apparently unable to do.

So why and how did we develop this ability? The ability to imagine has created in mankind, a new perception of reality. By way of imagination we have discovered the fourth dimension. That of time. Our perception of time depends on our ability to have continuity of memory. We remember things happening at particular times in the past and we can follow those events in our past right up until the present moment. Further, we can then imagine events that are to come in the future. This gives us a sense of direction. That time moves from past to present to future. Of course this is perceived by humans to be real because we are essentially 3 dimensional creatures that can perceive a continuity in the changing nature of reality. This continuity is a function of imagination. We could not experience or understand the idea of time were it not for our imagination. Yet times itself isn’t the fourth dimension. The fourth dimension is imagination. As 3 dimensional creatures, we cannot fully perceive the totality of the fourth dimension or as I like to call it the imaginal realm. What we perceive of as time is actually a cross-section of the imaginal realm intersecting with this 3 dimensional world. We can imagine the past, but we don’t usually imagine a past that didn’t happen, at least not often. Furthermore we don’t generally imagine multiple possible futures, at least not all at once. However, the imaginal realm is limitless anything and everything can be found in the imaginal realm. It is the realm of possibility. The dimension from which all conceivable forms are created.

Imagination is central to modern mans ability to learn, plan, build, create, empathize, love, hate, reason and remember. It is that which allows us to tell stories and understand them. Imagination is the most important ability that humankind as every developed, for with it we have made the impossible inevitable.

In fact I do not believe it is an exaggeration at all to suggest that imagination is god. God is an idea, a concept that is all-encompassing and all-powerful, yet our idea of god is not as powerful as that which allows us to even perceive and understand the idea of god or spirit. The idea of non-physical reality can only be conceived of in the imagination. So our imagination must be our connection with god for only through imagination can we experience god and non-physical reality.

Do you understand the immensity of this? Your imagination IS GOD! What you imagine to be true, becomes your experience. That is as close to omnipotence as I think any human can get. Can you imagine if people actually began to literally believe that the imagination was god? To finally understand humanities birthright as creators? The world would change, practically overnight. Well look around. This revelation is starting to spread around the world. Just look at how the world is changing right before our eyes. The power of imagination is being magnified and multiplied by the new forms of global communication. Soon billions will become aware of this radical yet self-evident idea. When that happens, get ready for change on an earthshaking level. Not since the great leap forward that began some 30,000 years ago has mankind experienced such rapid change and expansion. Yet the change we are in the midst of is happening thousands of times faster and is spreading through all of humanity. In a matter of years, this understanding will reach a critical mass and we will see the beginnings of dramatic revolution in human consciousness and human awareness. I feel that by 2016 this rapid change in consciousness will be apparent to almost everyone. This will be a topic that will be discussed by millions of people.

As our ability to imagine become even more powerful, physical manifestation of our desires will appear quicker and from more and more unlikely events. Basically when the imagination is in full partnership with conscious awareness, we will begin to perceive the world in a different way. The narrative of reality is become less literal and less linear. Our perception of reality has been bound by our sense of time. Time is our limited perception of the intersection of the imaginal realm with conscious awareness. Up until recently humans have largely perceived time as running from past to future. We believed that the past could not be changed and that the future was pre-ordained. However, with new technology and new behavior comes new awareness. Very soon, it will become apparent that a large percentage of humanity are beginning to perceive reality in a more multidimensional way. Time will not be solely be experienced as a single line from past to future. Instead we will begin to become aware of our memories and imaginings as a cloud of probabilities. We will be able to remember many different possible pasts and many probable futures. Furthermore we will develop a sense of being able to choose the experiences we wish to have based on this greater awareness of the dimension of imagination. When awareness of infinite choice becomes common it will be a great day for humanity. And that day is coming soon.

How to be Psychic – Part 2: Developing Certainty

Posted on March 30, 2013 by admin — 1 Comment ↓

How to be Psychic – Part 2: Developing Certainty

How do you know that what you sense psychically is true and not just a fantasy?

How do you know that you are not just making it up?

Those are some of the questions I hear from people who are confused about the whole idea of sensing psychically. The main fear is that what is being perceived is not truly a reflection of what will happen but is only a fantasy or wishful thinking. This is one reason why many people, including world-famous psychics say that you cannot do readings for yourself. This is BS! If you cannot do readings for yourself because you may be prone to “making it all up” just shows how little even famous psychics understand about what psychic sensing really is. In fact I only use the word psychic because there really is no suitable alternative. I could use the word intuition and I do use it almost as often as the word psychic. Intuition however has a connotation of being something that is passive. You get a flash of intuition or a sudden intuitive thought. While it does describe the same faculty as the world psychic, it does so by making it sound involuntary. Like it’s an instinctual ability that cannot be trained and this is simply not the case.

The truth is that the word that comes closest to describing what psychic abilities actually are, is the word imagination. Imagination is the one and only power that we have to perceive and give shape to our future. Imagination however does seem to be associated with “making things up.” That somehow, what we imagine isn’t true, that is isn’t real. Of course the truth is that imagination is necessary for us to make sense of our world. We use our imaginations when we remember our past. We use our imagination when we think about the future. In fact you could say that we use our imagination in order to think. Can you think of something without imagining it? Go ahead and try. Think of the word TREE. Now, if you are like most people. The moment you saw the word tree and thought of the word tree, you either imagined the word in your mind or you had an image of some kind of tree in you mind. Either way you still had to use your imagination to make sense of the word. We need imagination just to be able to communicate. Language, whether spoken or written are just symbols. For those symbols to have meaning, we must be able to imagine what the symbols mean.

So if intuition, psychic senses, memory and language are all dependent on imagination, how can we be certain of anything? Imagination seems like it would be unreliable in giving us information that we can use to help us in life. It seems like this because we are able to imagine things that are very unlikely to ever happen. For instance anyone can imagine themselves doing just about anything, we do so every night when we dream. Dreams are the playground of the imagination. Dreams have long been associated with the mystical and prophetic. However dreams don’t always tell us what is going to happen. At least it seems like that. Dreams are dominated by our unconscious mind and because of this, our dreams tend to use symbolic reasoning rather than rational narratives to give us messages. Both mystics and psychologists have long understood that dreams are largely symbolic and that understanding that symbolic language is the key to making sense of our dreams. However, in waking life, our imagination is not totally dominated by the subconscious. Our logical, rational mind is still in operation and because of this, we tend to dismiss thoughts and feeling that we get. We don’t notice them as the symbolic messages that they are. When you pay attention to your imagination and take seriously the messages that you receive you will find that the information can be the more reliable than information you get from your five senses.

The problem many people have when they first start to learn to pay attention to their imagination, is that of certainty. It still feels like they are just making it up. When a thought or vision comes to mind and the images don’t make logical sense, it is natural to dismiss it as just your imagination. That however is a mistake. Instead you have to try to make sense of the information by paying attention to the symbolism of what you are sensing. Your imagination is always on. You have a constant flow of imagery running through you mind throughout the day. You could in fact say that we never stop dreaming, we just surrender our consciousness to the dream images when we sleep. Anyone who has tried meditation can attest to the fact that we have a constant flow of thoughts and those thoughts are in fact made from our imagination. Modern human civilization has conditioned humans to believe that imagination is not reliable. That you cannot be certain of it. That you can only be certain about facts. Logical facts. However, every supposed fact that we are certain about, started out as something imagined. You can imagine that the sun will rise tomorrow. You feel that you can be certain about that because the sun rising in the morning is a proven fact to you. You have experienced that event in your life enough times so as to believe it to be a fact. You are certain of it. Certainty is not really a function of logic or fact. We are afraid to be wrong. We believe ourselves to be imperfect and flawed so we doubt our own ability to divine our future. The truth is that even when we base our actions on “facts” we can be wrong. Even when we make a decision based on logic, it can still be the wrong decision.

Human imagination is responsible for practically everything that you have and everything that you are. Everything was once just a thought in someones imagination. Certainty is not about faith, and it isn’t about belief. Certainty is about experience. When you experience something, then you are certain of it. When you experience being in love, you are certain about the existence of love. When you experience loss, pain or sadness, these are all thoughts in your head. Yet the experience of feeling, whether it is joy, love or pain, is an experience of certainty. So in the end how can we be certain that what we sense psychically is true? It is simple. Get in touch with your feelings. If you have a psychic impression or vision, how does it make you feel? What feelings accompany the thoughts? If you feel a strong emotional pull, as if what you are imagining is happening to you right now, then you can be certain that you are sensing something that is true. It may not make sense logically and the vision or images may not be literal, they may in fact be symbolic like in a dream. However, if you pay attention to your emotions and you are certain about the feeling, you can be sure that what you are sensing is important and worth your continued exploration and contemplation.

In closing I would just like to remind you that as with any ability, the more you use it, the more reliable that skill or ability will become. Here are some do’s and don’ts:

Do practice paying attention to your thoughts and feelings.

Do start acting on your hunches and intuitions.

Don’t worry or become upset if you have a vision or intuition that is negative or unsettling,

Do pay attention to the symbols and feelings that you sense.

Do keep a journal where you can write down your impressions.

Do make a list of things and what they mean to you symbolically. For example rivers always remind me of home because I grew up near a river.

Don’t be afraid to tell others about your impressions. People are usually very open to hear about your visions or imaginings. Telling others gives you confidence and certainty.

Don’t pay attention to the doubts of others.

Namaste!

Living the Law of Attraction: The Power of Leadership

Living the Law of Attraction: The Power of Leadership

Leadership is an important subject when it comes to the law of attraction. Why leadership? The truth is, if you desire to live the life you have always dreamed of, you are going to have to create value. Creating value and sharing it with others is the true secret to success. However, it can be difficult to create enough value on your own to support the level of success that you desire. For example, Bill Gates didn’t start out as a leader. He started out as a computer nerd with an ambition to create an operating system for the computers of the world that would allow everyday people to have access to the incredible power of personal computers. At the time he started he had little money, but he did have knowledge and a vision. That knowledge and vision allowed him to build a company that is worth billions. But he didn’t do it all by himself. He attracted partners and great employees. In other words, he became a leader and fulfilled his dream.

Leadership can be exercised at many levels. You can be a leader in your family. You can be the leader in your circle of friends. You can assume leadership at your job, no matter what level your at. The most important thing is to start being a leader in your mind. You must start thinking from the standpoint of leadership. Even if the only person you are leading is yourself, it is an important first step towards becoming the leader you need to be to fulfill your life’s desires.

You may be thinking right now that you have no desire to be a leader. If so, you may have a warped idea of what leadership really means. Being a leaders doesn’t involve ordering people around. Being a leader isn’t about punishing those who make mistakes. Being a leader isn’t about being a tyrant. What being a leader does mean, is to behave in a way that allows for maximum cooperation and unity of purpose from everyone involved in order to fulfill the desired goal. That is why it starts with you and how you think. Even you are the lowest paid employee in your company, you can begin to think like a leader. You can begin to behave in the way you would like to see others behave. The ultimate form of leadership is leadership by example. This is the secret to gaining the support of others in making your dreams happen. Be an example of what you want to see out of others. Talk about your goals and share your ideas with others. Invite other people to give input and share in the excitement of your goal. Share with others, give credit to others and take little for yourself. By being an example of true leadership, you will naturally attract those who wish to follow you. You will find you start to get much more attention from family, friends and acquaintances and that you will be sought out for your input and opinion on important topics. You will find that you will have become the leader that you initially had no desire to be.

Living The Law of Attraction: Only Now is Real

Posted on March 20, 2013 by admin — No Comments ↓

Living The Law of Attraction: Only Now is Real

We are all caught up in an illusion. It’s a very powerful and convincing illusion but an illusion none the less. What I am talking about is time. We believe time to be like a river flowing downstream. The past is upstream and the future is downstream and we just float along on the river, going from past to future. This idea seems to be true because that is how we perceive time. It seems like the past is a real thing and the future is a real thing. However, how we think about time is completely imaginary.

There is no past

We believe that we have a past. We believe it because we remember it and we have evidence that those memories really happened because we have evidence. Other people may remember the same thing you do, or you may have an item that you remember buying years ago that you still own. Since we have this evidence, we believe that the past is real. However, the truth is, the past is imaginary. What is memory? Memory seems to be a record of our experiences at certain moments in our life. For example I remember burning my hand very badly when I was 10 years old. I was out camping with my family and I was playing around what I thought was and empty fire pit. We hadn’t build a campfire in the pit, so I assumed that it was safe enough and I ignored my parents warnings to stay away from it. Well as it happened I tripped and fell, putting my right hand into the middle of the ashes in the fire pit. What I found out instantly was that the fire pit was where my dad had emptied the hot coals from the barbecue we had for lunch. I screamed in pain and went running for the creek we were camped by. I stuck my hand in the muddy water to cool it off. I can still remember how it burned.

That is a powerful memory for me. If I really think about it, I can put myself right back in that moment, as if it is happening now. However, this is just my imagination. Yes, it really happened but, what is important to realize is that my memory of that experience is not the experience, it is my imaginary recollection of the images, scents, sounds and feelings as well as the emotions I was feeling at that moment in my life. It can seem very real and indeed it can even cause my body to react in a similar was as if it were actually happening now, but it is still imaginary. Everything that was true the moment a memory is formed passes away in the next moment. Each moment we can choose how to react to what we are experiencing with our awareness. It the continuity of conscious awareness and our capacity to powerfully imagine our memories that make the past seem like it is still around somehow. If feels like the past is still with us because many people constantly think of the past and bring those memories into conscious experience in the present. This is why it can seem like the past creates the future, when in fact it’s the present creates our perception of the past.

There Is No Future

The future isn’t real. It can seem to be real. Especially if you are worried about a bill that is coming due in a few days. Maybe you know that you are going to have to find a new job in a month and all of your thoughts are filled with visions of what might happen. Many times such imaginings are based on how we imagine our past. If you have had trouble finding jobs in the past and you now find yourself needing to change jobs, you may imagine that you will have a difficult time finding one because it was difficult for you to find a job in the past. In this way it can seem that the past creates our future. Again, it is only the present that is real. When we are thinking about the future as if we already know what is going to happen, then it is very likely that it is going to happen exactly as we imagine it. For good of for ill it will come, because you are focusing your attention on these thoughts in the present moment.

When you think about your future, you must understand that you are not imagining what is likely to happen. You are imagining what you BELIEVE is likely to happen. Your belief in and about your future is based in part on your past experience. This seems logical because you don’t want to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. So you use your memories of your past experiences to try to imagine what will be most likely to happen. Although this is completely reasonable giving the way time SEEMS to work. However, once you learn how time REALLY works and how the future is created in the present moment and not in the past, then you will understand that your future will be whatever you BELIEVE it to be!

[Video] Living The Law of Attraction: Authenticity

Posted on March 16, 2013 by admin — No Comments ↓

Living The Law of Attraction: Authenticity

Authenticity. It’s a word that means to be honest and genuine. Truthfulness in all things is my definition of authenticity. I think that everyone lies sometimes. That is one of the things that we are trained to do. Sure, we are told that we should always tell the truth, but in reality, we are shown on a daily basis that we should lie. It’s not something we are usually conscious of but it is something that most of us do on a daily basis. Why do we lie? We lie to avoid responsibility. We lie to save face. We lie to avoid punishment. We lie to avoid uncomfortable situations. We lie to make ourselves look better. We lie for so many reasons but in reality all of our lies that we tell others and that we tell ourselves are based on one thing. That thing is fear. We are afraid to be completely truthful. So we lie to avoid what we are afraid of.

What is it that we fear will happen if we tell the truth? Maybe you imagine that if you are truthful about what kind of music you really like or your real opinion of religion that people wont like you or worse get mad at you. Maybe you are afraid that people will make fun of you if they knew what your real dreams are? How did we start telling these fear based lies? Why do we feel the need to protect ourselves by using deception? The truth is that the only thing that we fear are the thoughts that we create. If you are afraid of telling your wife that you like watching boxing on Fridays with your friends because you are afraid that she will fly off the handle and yell at you for being selfish, then what you fear is that imagined scenario that you created. That situation would not likely happen if you told your wife the truth, and if it did, what does that say about how your wife feels about your needs?

I once consulted for a woman who was deeply afraid of being truthful with her husband. You see, she had kept that fact that she was a practicing Wiccan a secret from her husband ever since they met. Now they have been married for 5 years and they are expecting a baby. Her husband wants to raise the child Baptist just like he is. She has never told him that she is a Wiccan as she was afraid he would divorce her and take custody of the child. I advised her that had she been honest in the first place this wouldn’t have had to happen. I explained that the best thing to do was to be truthful. I asked her if she really loved him. She told me that she loved him very much but was always afraid and paranoid that he would find out. I also asked if she considered converting to Baptist and she said that was out of the question. She was passionate about her faith. Then I told her that she must tell him. Focus on her love for him and explain that she kept the secret because she was afraid that he would be unable to accept her faith and it would have split them up before they ever really had a chance to get to know each other. The end result was that she did tell him the truth. The irony was that he really wasn’t that devout of a christian and was looking for something beyond the Baptist church. He wasn’t sure how he felt about Wicca but he was sure that he loved her and would try to accept her religious beliefs.

Of course things don’t always turn out so well when we finally start being truthful. Sometimes so many lies have been told that the only recourse is to go separate ways. Always remember that this is YOUR LIFE, you make the choices and decisions. If you lie about who you are, whether its to others or yourself, you are living only half a life.

Remember: If you are not completely authentic, both with yourself and others, then you can never be sure who you really are and what you truly desire. How can you ever feel like your friends and family really love you? If they love this lie that you have constructed, this mask that you wear, then you may always feel that it is the mask that they love and not the person beneath it.

Living The Law of Attraction: Gratitude and Giving

Posted on March 15, 2013 by admin — No Comments ↓

Living The Law of Attraction: Gratitude and Giving

If you want to practice some powerful ways to amplify your ability to attract your desires, please be sure to watch the video below on gratitude and giving.

When you begin to practice gratitude and giving on a daily basis, you will soon realize why all truly great and successful people throughout time have recommended both as paths to true prosperity. You may wonder how expressing gratitude can lead to attracting your desires. I will explain briefly about gratitude then I will touch on giving. The law of attraction is a law based on the idea that there is only really ONE THING in existence. That ONE THING is called many things; the universe, god, cosmos, tao, the ten thousand things, etc. Everything is part of this ONE THING. So all that seems to indicate that we are separate beings and disconnected is in fact an illusion. We are connected to all because we are part of the all. This is the idea behind the axiom; “As above, So below.” The idea that like attracts like is central to The Law of Attraction as well as many mystical traditions going back thousands of years. The idea isn’t new. So back to gratitude. Look around you, everything about your life has been created by you. This life is your creation. Couple this fact with the idea that you get more of what you focus on, then you may be able to see how gratitude can lead to improving your life.

The Incredible Power of Gratitude

When you hate things in your life, when you say that you can’t stand where you live or that you hate your job, what are you really saying? You are saying, “I hate what I create!” Understand that you cannot not create. Human life and perception are based on our creativity. So you create whether you want to or not. When you focus on how much you hate this or that thing in your life. Or when you think about how depressing your life is and how unfair life is, then you are giving powerfully negative emotions to those thoughts. This according to The Law of Attraction will create the very thing that you say you hate. You get what you give. Give gratitude and you get more of what you are grateful for. Have a crappy car? Be grateful it gets you around town safely. Find things to like about it. Clean it up. Perform acts of gratitude. You will find that it becomes almost effortless to attract the car you really desire. Gratitude de-crapifies your attitude so positive energy can begin flowing into your life.

The Amazing Power of Giving

Giving provides a similar kind of benefit. Have you known someone who seemed really tight with their money? They are pinching every penny and cutting every corner to save a dime? Have you noticed that people like that seem to believe that money is hard to come by? I am not talking about frugal people who are generous in other ways, I am talking about people who are miserly and stingy with no sense of charity. Those sorts of people may have money, but they will always feel anxious about having it and will never experience the feelings of abundance that come with true wealth. Giving is a way to express to the universe that your are certain of your own abundance. If you have watched my other videos and read my other blog posts you know that one of the secrets of using the law of attraction to create your desires is to imagine that your desire is already yours. You imagine that you already have what you most desire. Then, even more powerfully, you express certainty in your actions and attitude that your desire is already yours. By giving you are expressing that certainty. When you imagine yourself as immensely wealthy and using that wealth to help others, and then actually start to give away money, you are acting certain of your abundance. This works with whatever you desire to attract more of. Desire love? Give love. Desire money? Give money? Desire friends? Give your friendship to others.

Living The Law of Attraction: The Nature of Reality and How The Law of Attraction Really Works

Posted on March 12, 2013 by admin — 1 Comment ↓

Living The Law of Attraction: The Nature of Reality and How The Law of Attraction Really Works

What is reality? How do our thoughts create our experience of reality? What is the role of imagination in the creation of reality?

Ask yourself right now if you are dreaming. You might think that of course you are not dreaming because I am aware of being awake. However, everyone has experienced dreams that seemed very real. Dreams that convinced you of their reality. You may also have had dreams in which you wake up from a dream only to find yourself still dreaming. Dreams seem very real. In fact every person in your dreams that you encounter is your creation. Your dream seems real but it is actually created by your mind. Dreams are non-physical so they don’t need to follow the same laws as physical reality. Physical reality seems to follow very specific laws that cannot be violated, however except for the fact that our world is physical, our minds create our experience of physical reality in just the same way that the mind create our dreams.

Look around you. Everything in your life is a part of you. You created it. You may not have wanted it but it is still your creation. Our minds create dreams as well as nightmares. I don’t know anyone who wants to have nightmares yet that doesn’t stop the mind from creating them.

Living The Law of Attraction: Becoming Fearless

Posted on March 12, 2013 by admin — 8 Comments ↓

Living The Law of Attraction: Becoming Fearless

What is fear? Is fear a thing? Can you look at something and say, “that is fear.”

Fear is an illusion. Fear never exists in the now. In the present moment fear cannot take root because, in the present moment there is no thought of past or future. Memories of the past and fantasies of the future are not physically real. They are part of our imagination. Both memories of the past and our thoughts and plans about the future are imagined. They are both imagined based on our experiences of physical reality. Every thought that you think that is not based on your awareness of the present moment is a creation of your imagination.

We are so incredibly creative, yet humans tend to discount that creativity. The human mind can create thoughts of either heaven or hell. We devise for ourselves intricate punishments and dramas based on how we THINK reality works. Based on our imagined experiences and the emotions we feel about those experiences we hallucinate what may happen in the future. Fear is our minds way of protecting us from future danger. By imagining the worst thing that can happen, your mind tries to prepare you for survival. But most of what we are afraid of is not in the least based on actual fact. Fear takes its roots in ignorance.

You have the power to think anything you want about your past, present and your future. You create your experience based on those thoughts you think most often and give the most emotional energy to. Even if that emotional energy is negative like hatred, depression, sadness or pessimism. You may think that you are just being a realist when you feel those negative emotions about all the bad things that seem to happen to you, but the truth is that your life is the way it is based on your thoughts. If your feelings about your thoughts are filled with fear, you will tend to manifest and attract negative, fearful experiences. Fear is a choice. You have the power to choose how you will feel about your experiences.

To achieve mastery of the power to attract your desires, you must strive to be fearless. Fear always will make you hesitate, it will make you freeze up. Action is the antidote for fear. Once you decide that you must do something that scares you, then just do it. do it as soon as humanly possible. Pick up that phone even if it terrifies you! Apply for that mortgage even if you have no idea how you will afford it! The key to the law of attraction is achieving certainty about your desires. You must KNOW that they are already yours. Fear has no place in the mind of someone who is certain of their desire.

Below you will find an episode of my web series; Living The Law of Attraction, on becoming fearless. I would appreciate any questions or comments you might have on fear. How have you eliminated fear? What fears still hold you back? Feel free to comment below and if you like this article or the video, please share it on social media.

Thank you,

Namaste

Living The Law of Attraction: Knowing What You Truly Desire.

Living The Law of Attraction: Knowing What You Truly Desire.

The law of attraction works. It gives you exactly what your mind is focusing most on. Those thoughts that you think about most and most intensely tend to become your future. That has been my experience. Once you know HOW the law of attraction works, it should be simple to use it to attract exactly what you truly desire. However, that can be a challenge. Most people, when first trying to apply the law of attraction, use it to attract something that they want. “I want to be a millionaire,” one person might say. Or even, “I want to have a better job.” Lets forget for the moment that to be most effective you desire should be stated in the present tense. What I would like you to notice is the word ‘want.’ Many people use the word want in place of the word desire, however this is a mistake. Desire is a word that clearly means a conscious choice for a preferred action. Want on the other hand has at its root the idea of lack. When something is wanted, it is because there is a perceived lack. So, in order to be clear as to our intent, the word want is to be avoided in favor of desire.

So how do you know what you truly desire? Even if your language is clearly based on desire, it can be difficult to determine exactly what it is that you desire. Do you desire to travel? Where? For how long? With who? How about money? Do you desire wealth? How much wealth? How would the wealth come to you? What would you do with the wealth? Many times people will try to attract their desired goals only to find that once they get what they thought they desired, they find out that they are not any happier. People often confuse their idea about what it would be like to have something and the actual experience of having it. The experience of having your desire is always going to be different from how you imagined it, but usually in a good way. Usually, it’s far better, more fun and exciting and just plain more impressive than what you may have imagined. But for many people, they find that when they DO get what they thought they desired, it turns out that they don’t feel any different. There may have been a brief jolt of excitement but afterwords they felt just about the same as before. This is because people do not really value things. People don’t really value money, or power, or romance, or the freedom to travel, instead they value the FEELING that they imagine they will have when they get those things. Those of us raised in the western hemisphere are used to thinking that our feelings are caused by our external environment. That circumstances, people, things, and places can make us feel happy or sad or angry. But that isn’t true. It’s never been true. That is a big illusion that can be difficult for people to overcome. It is this illusion that makes people desire things like wealth, power, adulation, a new wife or husband, houses, cars, vacations, etc. We believe that if we get that new shiny THING that it will make us feel happy, or fulfilled. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. Instead you must realize the truth….

It’s all in your head.

It’s all in your head. All of it. Your memories, your imagined future, your hopes, dreams and desires. Even what you are perceiving right now as you read these words. Everything is all in your head! It does no good to focus on getting something that you desire, if you are desiring of it for the wrong reasons. You believe that finding a younger wife or girlfriend will bring more excitement into your life. You believe that if you get to be a $50,000 a month earner in your network marketing company that you will feel secure and will no longer worry about money. Well, I am sorry to say that it ain’t true. Circumstances never dictate your feelings, only your thoughts dictate your feelings.

Take a look at the video below for some tips on getting at the core of what you truly desire.

How to Be Psychic: Part One, Recognize and Develop Intuition

How to Be Psychic: Part One

Recognize and Develop Intuition

Many people have asked me over the years if someone can learn how to be psychic. Some people believe that you are either born with psychic ability or you are not. Those people don’t believe that you can learn how to be psychic. While certainly I believe that there are some people who are born with much more talent for psychic sensing than others, I think it is a mistake to assume you either have it or you don’t. In truth, we all posses psychic abilities. Every time you experience a powerful and emotional memory, you are using your psychic abilities. Every time that you anticipate your future and visualize how it may play out, you are using psychic ability. Most importantly, every time that you get a feeling you should do something, maybe something a bit out of the ordinary like taking a different route to work or maybe calling a friend that you haven’t reached out to in years, you are using psychic abilities. We are not used to thinking about psychic sensing in this way, but that is in fact how psychic abilities really work.

Intuition: The Voice of Your Imagination

First I would like to talk to you about intuition. Intuition is that sense of knowing without knowing why you know. We have all experienced it and most of us have ignored those feelings, sometimes with disastrous results. The thing to understand about intuition is that it is the voice of your imagination. Many people talk about the subconscious mind or the unconscious mind as if those things really exist. The truth is, there is no unconscious mind or subconscious mind, there is simply the mind. What those labels seek to describe is the fact that some of the functions of our mind happen without our conscious attention or awareness. While other functions are fully within our awareness and control. The more you pay attention to your supposed subconscious mind, the more conscious that part of your mind becomes. Therefore, the terms themselves begin to lose meaning. It is for that reason, I prefer to use the term imagination.

Our minds are capable of both logic and imagination. The logical analytic mind is what we use primarily for day-to-day problem solving and interacting with other humans. The imagination is what is responsible for filtering, recording and processing all the data that our senses take in. We are only able to maintain conscious awareness of about 7 to 9 bits of information at any one time. This is the reason why phone numbers are about the biggest string of numbers that most people can easily remember. Our imagination filters out all but the most important and pertinent information from our conscious awareness. This results in the filtering out or our conscious awareness something like 99% of all the available information our senses pick up. The imagination is responsible for processing all this information. We use all that information while dreaming and while daydreaming, we are constantly reworking and remixing all that information. Its where our imagination gets all the raw material for our creative expression.

People seem to discount the imagination. Even though human imagination is responsible for everything that has ever been created, people still seem to feel that imagination is “just fantasy” and that it is a waste of time and non-productive.

What these people may not realize is that human imagination is how our mind organizes and understands the world. While we can only be aware of a small amount of information at any one time, our senses are collecting and transmitting to our brains millions of bits of information every second. What happens to all that information? It become the raw material for our imagination. Our imagination organizes it, remixes it and combines it in millions of creative ways. It becomes the raw materials for our dreams. All of this information is gathered and processed below our normal level of awareness. Those experiences that we are aware of also get stored and processed. Those experiences become the memories that we are consciously aware of and can consciously access.

What may be surprising for you to hear, is that memory is a function of imagination. That is the ONLY place memory exists. When you think about something from your past, especially an event that was emotionally powerful, your imagination accesses that stored memory of that event. Not just the sensations of what you felt, but also the thoughts and emotions that you had at that time as well. Your imagination recreates that memory and you re-experience the emotions and thoughts associated with it. The imagination does the same thing when we think about our future. If you are anticipating a future event and you associate the thought of experiencing that future event with events from your past, you will tend to associate the emotions from that past event with this imagined future event. This is exactly how we create our own future.

So how does all this relate to intuition? When you get a flash of intuition, it usually doesn’t make any logical sense. However, it comes with such a feeling of urgency that you just have to sit up and take notice. Even though it makes no sense, you just know that you must take action. Its something everyone experiences at least once in their lives.

When an experience like that happens, its easy to disregard it afterwords. Even if acting on your flash of intuition possibly has saved your life, people still tend to think of such experiences as pure coincidence. After all, how could I know what was going to happen? That is what many ask themselves in trying to make sense of the experience.

In fact, your intuition is always whispering to you messages from your imagination. Your imagination has access to millions of times more information that you can be consciously aware of. Your imagination has access to the big picture.

Your world is in a constant state of creation based on your imagination. Most people will acknowledge that we can only sense the universe through our senses. Further, many would concede that without our physical senses, our sense of reality would cease to exist.

Take for instance someone who has no senses. No vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell or even body awareness. Imagine someone’s brain kept alive in a jar but with no body to sense the world with. Reality would not exist for such a person. Their only experience would be based solely on their imagination. Their imagination would be their entire reality, almost as when dreaming.

Now, realize that all of our senses are just our brain interpreting signals from our senses. All of our senses actually exist only in our mind. Your eyes don’t see, your eyes pick up light waves and transmit signals to your brain. Your brain takes those signals and constructs a visual image for you. So…. Only what is in our mind is real for us. Imagination and our sense of reality are both creations of the mind!

Our physical senses are very sensitive. The produce a huge amount of information each and every second of our lives. We ignore most of it. We have to in order to focus on what is important in the here and now. However, we also tend to ignore those stray thoughts, nagging feelings and urges throughout the day. Our senses are tuned to work with conscious awareness, so its natural that our focus and attention tends to be on what we get the most sensory stimulus from. However, as you may know, our conscious awareness is very good at selecting which sensory information to pay attention to. This is why you can read, write or hold a conversation with someone in a very noisy environment. WE can also tune our conscious awareness to focus on our imagination, to listen to for that voice of the intuition. By paying attention to those stray thoughts, ideas, urges and insights and deliberately focusing our attention on the imagination, we can condition our mind to filter out less of that intuitive information. The voice of your imagination gets louder and clearer and your intuition becomes a more frequent and reliable source of information.
