Imagination
Imagination is the unreal, real state of mind, where all things are experienced as real. Imagination is powerful and is an intermediary step between thought and word. Thoughts are experienced in the imagination before they are manifested into physical reality. As important as this step is in the process of creating, it is the least explored on a conscious level. It is the easiest step to move into from our conscious state and can be accessed at will. Just close your eyes and start imagining. From our earliest awareness, our parents both encourage and discourage us from being in this creative condition, because they know how powerful it is. Powerful imaginations can be intoxicating. We are often told that we are imagining things. This statement is so close to the absolute truth. What we create, all the circumstances of our life, is being imagined. There is nothing else that we could be doing. All that we seek to be, or have, will first be developed in our imagination. Mankind does not yet fully understand the value of the imagination. Yet those that have an awareness of it's function, us it successfully. There have never been truer statements than, "you're only limited by your imagination," "imagine it," let your imagination run wild. It truly is the creative state. Sometimes distinctions between what are real and what is imagination is blurred, because imagination is so close to our conscious reality. All things in imagination are experienced in the state as real. The imagination can also be manipulated from the conscious state. It is more like a waking dream, that that is fully interactive. Imagination is a safe zone, a holodeck, which we enter for all kinds of reasons, it's practical and recreational. It is a tool that works on demand and has unlimited resources. It's a perfect testing ground were problems can be worked out and we can create anything that we can imagine. We build models in our imagination in preparation for creation into the physical realm. All of our thoughts can be explored and examined. Working through imagination is the best way to experience having or doing a thing before it is made manifest. The fastest way to get what you desire is to know that you already have it. Imagination facilitates, that knowingness, because you actually experience it in this dream like state, and adjustments can be made to customize the results. Try this. Picture a brand new car in your mind. What ever colour it is now, change the colour. Change the car from 4 doors to 2. Imagine it with different wheels, four shiny chrome wheels. Notice how easily it is to change the image. Now imagine sitting in the driver's seat. Notice the dash and all the instrumentation, and then become aware of your friends in the car and who they are. These are powerful images, and they are experienced as reality at the time. The more you dwell on them, the more likely you will manifest your vision into actuality. You can experience your imagination, without restriction from old belief systems, guilt, morality, punishment, condemnation, justification or anything else. It's your safe haven, where no one can enter. It is truly the only place that you can be alone with your thoughts. Imagine that! You are free from physical bonds or limitations. You can fly for as long and as high as you want. You can crash, burn, barn storm, or land safely, without fear. The imagination is real and very compelling, it can be addicting, but always it is a safe place to be. We often choose only to experience very private matters in our imagination and choose not to make them fully manifest. Moving into the realm of the imagination is not to be feared, but anticipated with awe and wild abandonment. Fear not the power you possess. Develop your imagination, exercise it, and use it effectively to manifest the physical things that you desire in your life. Imagine the life that your really want and begin to live it. In your spare moments each day, take some time to visit your imagination and envision what you desire that day and the next. Repeat those visions and they will become your new reality. Roy E.

Set Yourself Up For Success!~ By Fran Briggs Here's a great way to program and set yourself up for success in advance. It is one of many of what I call, New Empowering Habit Plans (TM). A New Empowering Habit Plan is a formula for achieving success in any given area of your life. It requires a minimum of 21 consecutive days of implementation. Why 21 days? Because research by behavioral scientists and "Mothers of five" has proved that it takes at least 21 days to establish a habit. This NEHP starts with taking the first 15-30 minutes before you get out of bed to plan and visualize your successful day on paper. Remember we agreed that it takes at least 21 consecutive days to establish a habit? Commit to do this NEHP for at least 21 consecutive days. What if you were to develop a fun and exciting New Empowering Habit Plan taking just a few minutes every day to plan and visualize your successful day on paper? In doing so, you would be able to project any obstacles or consequences. More importantly, you could construct and program your success. With this invaluable information, you could literally set yourself up for success by planning and seeing the future in advance."Exactly How do I do this?"One of the exciting things about this NEHP is that it is not an "exact science." In fact, it's not a science at all. Consider it uniquely yours. It can be as simple as keeping a pen, pencil, notebook or note pad by your bed. As soon as you wake up, grab your writng/drawing utensil. Then, you might want to close your eyes as you meditate, pray or regain your faculties (if your not a morning person). I suggest you take a couple minutes and literally run your entire day in your mind. Visualize; really see yourself, succeeding ... all day long.Win, Write Or Draw!Now, open your eyes and begin doing your day on paper. The real magic of this NEHP lies in the power you manifest when you put pen/pencil to paper. This has been long proven to amend our thinking. Why not make a point to amend for great thinking? I'm not going to get into that right side brain/left side brain stuff. I'll keep it simple and say ... you will win, when you write, draw or combine the two, to construct and program your successful day. Be very clear and put your appointments to succeed in chronological order. Cultivate an unshakable expectation to succeed. Put magic into the mundane! For example, in your 9:00 a.m. slot where you would normally anticipate contact with an obnoxious supervisor, draw them with a smile as she tells you your being promoted. Zoom in on the smiles, pleasant demeanors and positive energy you both exchange. Or, maybe you feel more comfortable writing a mini-goal or powerful positive affirmation at least ten times. Really believe it. In your 7:20 p.m. slot, you may write down: "I go 4 for 4 and play a flawless left field tonight." Once you are crystal-clear on how you are going to set yourself up for success, you reaffirm your ability to make it happen.WARNING: You May Get More Than You Project!It's said that long before Jim Carrey made it BIG, and before he even appeared on "In Living Color," he walked up to the Hollywood Hills one day. There, he wrote a check to himself, and put it in his wallet. The amount on the check was for ten million dollars. In the memo he wrote in, "For services rendered." Today as most of you already know, Jim Carrey makes a minimum of twenty-million dollars per film.In February, 2003, I wrote down on paper that I would sell my house in three weeks for $280,000. The new owners would be first-time homeowners-not investors. My house sold in 11 days and for 19 thousand dollars more than the asking price. The new owners are a happy family of three and are very happy in their first home.I have two great friends who (seemingly) have the ability to win jackpots at will using this NEHP. But this particular New Empowering Habit Plan is not just "all about the money." It has much more power than that. I've manifested, fulfilling, loving and meaningful relationships; world-wide publications; vacations; empowering strongholds; businesses, 4 for 4 flawless defense softball games and just plain fun! I sincerely believe you can too!To Your Success!

Owning Your Power Owning your power, your power to be real, to be who you really are, is really about owning your freedom. Consider how your reasons for not being yourself may have been to get the love or approval of others. Then, you have given others the power to decide your way of being, and thus keeping yourself from being free. In many ways, you have been giving away your power/freedom by your ways of speaking and thinking, and being. Going Seamless: Dissolving the Brain Divide Are you a right-brainer or a left-brainer?
