THE POWER OF THOUGHTS, WORDS, THE SUBCONSCIOUS AND IMAGINATION

“It is our duty and our joy as human beings to proceed as though there are no limits to our abilities. We are collaborators in creation.” de Chardin

ACTUALIZATION 

CONCLUSION

Intentionality is to attune, direct and aim.

 Intentions and expectations are essential to hope.

It is possible to have hope as well as an expectation and still be unattached to the outcome - to let go.

"Play in the exaltation of the possible." M. Buber

"Every morning before getting up and every evening as soon as you are in bed, shut your eyes, and repeat twenty times in succession, moving your lips (this is indispensable), and counting mechanically on a long string with twenty knots, the following phrase: ‘Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better.’ Make this autosuggestion with confidence, with faith, with the certainty of obtaining what you want. The greater the conviction, the greater and the more rapid will be the results obtained." Cou'e

The Law of Attraction supports doing things for their own sake and not for reason of outcome. The object of our imagination should be for the greater good and the Higher Self and not for the ego or little self. If we imagine something for ourselves it should also serve the greater good.

We think that in the natural way of things, what we give lessens our supply. The soul does not work this way - with the soul, giving increases.

The saddest and most impoverishing notion human beings cling to is that we are limited by laws of the natural world. There is a crucial difference between being subject to, and being constrained by.

 

Our so-called laws of nature are the laws that we have contrived through our limited understandings that we mistakenly believe are exclusively operating and to be true. Shamanic adepts and others using exotic rituals can sometimes help us to see what usually cannot be seen.

"You must be willing to give up who you are, for whom you may become.” Rev Nachman

Preoccupation with the physical side of reality blocks the way to unseen reality. We should not mistake the physical for the senses as it is only with a sharply tuned, well cultivated sensory awareness (physical and intuitive) that we may perceive the unseen and come to know the unknown…

 

Behind your image, below your words, above your thoughts, the silence of another world awaits.

 

It is through imagining that we tap into the unknown reality where we see what seeing eyes do not and hear what hearing ears do not.

We are the makers of myth. Invent the world as you imagine it. Do not let your learning distort your knowing. Wisdom knows the necessity of information and knowledge but is not consumed by them. There are other ways of knowing other than the brain.

 

These dynamics are reinforced by the teachings of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. One should appreciate that 

“all those concerned” 

include our guides and ancestors who must abide by the law of free will and that we need to “ask to receive.” 

 

"Know what you want, 

decide when you want it, 

figure your plan of action, 

follow through on it, 

and never doubt. 

Unless an action is rightly thought out and its steps rightly planned, every stage of its performance will probably remain vague and therefore unsatisfactory for the doer and all those concerned.” Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Since there is no time on the other side of the veil between worlds,  patience, persistence and affirmation are commendable.

We are not just influences but also recipients of influences from distant places and distant times.

 

Attention to detail while imagining allows us to be very clear about what we want, in order to obtain spiritual help from our guides as well as the Creator. Gratitude for what we have should be included in the process. The more we get ourselves out of the way, the more effective we will be. 

As we meditate and imagine, we can breath in, 

the white light of our intentions

and exhale, 

the thick black smoke 

of whatever is getting in the way of our actualizing...

It can take only a moment of such consciousness to awaken to what you have searched for and sometimes even when stumbling upon have chosen to deny, distort or delay. 

This moment is called "clarity" by some, "grace" by others.  It occurs when we get out of the way of our preconceived notions and their nagging insistencies, when we are open to finding fulfillment in other ways of being - the moment of becoming aware that the source is within, not without.

 

 

 

THE POWER OF THOUGHTS, WORDS, THE SUBCONSCIOUS AND IMAGINATION

ACTUALIZATION # 4

 

Intent, Imagination, Active Attention all bring into being what is then actualized by the willing it.

What cannot be imagined cannot be fulfilled.

 

According to Kabbalah the multiverse was created through the Four Worlds of Manifestation that also corresponded to Four Trees of Life.  All four stages must be recognized for our creating anything. 

Emanation – the Word (probably in sound) – the Intent.

Your wishes cannot be granted unless your soul's intention is made; the focused attention to conscious willing - intention's pure consciousness…

Creation – the Plan.

Formation – gathering all the Components for the task at hand (in the case of the Big Bang it was formation of the elements all coming together.)

Actualization – the multiverse Coming into Being through the building blocks in Formation.

INTEND 

WILL IT

 

Imagination is a dormant power unless activated by will.

  

Intentionality is directed attention but with the deliberate focus and force of both mind, soul, heart and emotional powers.

The sages taught that intention gives birth to one's desires - desires of the senses, desires of the heart and desires of the soul. 

 

ATTEND

First the intent then

 ATTEND USING IMAGINATION 

Intent is made real by imagining in detail.

 

Active attention to the details by imagining them. 

Einstein believed that his powers of imagination were even more important to him than his cognitive abilities.

Because of free will, the positive powers in the Field require at least the context rather than exactness of our imagination to assist. The details may change as our choices and their attentions do. “They" the Field, our Guides will handle the overall intention of our requests but always in line with what is right for us ...

and what is required to fulfill our true purpose. 

The forces of light will only open those doors required for what's best for us but ignore the doors that lead us astray. 

Whether we choose to open the latter or not is up to us but we will be going down the wrong road if we do. This is why we have to be sure of the path on which we want to travel. Our intent should be heartfelt and pure. 

Bear in mind that the forces of darkness may endeavor to block our right path especially depending on its worthiness for good. Moreover, they will open other tempting doorways to encourage and mislead.

They will appeal to our Ego, Narrow Mind and Shadow and attempt to pollute our imaginative potential. Anything of the light or the sacred is a reproach to them.

ACT

Intent - Will – Imagination – Active Attention - (and)

ACTION

all bring into being what becomes actualized.

 

We have to do our part and act. God and our Guides help those who help themselves.

 

“Trust in God but tie your camel.” Sufi proverb

 

Take positive action. Intentionality is to attune, direct and aim.

 

AFFIRM

 

Imaging is essential for the subconscious to act. 
Remain faithful to that image. Affirm, repeat, maintain, sustain.

"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened." Matthew

But we need to keep on asking and knocking to keep the "doors" open. Affirming our intention will reinforce our commitment to the Field. Free Will is the cosmic law and one has to ask specifically in order to receive. Our guides dwell in a non-space time reality where free will is in the present moment. They are living in that present moment. They want to be sure of how resolute we are in what we want, and that what we want now, is what we will also want later. 

The dark forces defy the Law of free will and may appear to have free rein but loving intention will overcome their negative manipulations.

The mind shapes and defines the heart. Imagination creates possibilities.
CHOICE 

(motivated by free will)

sets the intent.
Will activates and actualizes.

Moreover, by reaffirming, we program our subconscious positively as in ... 

every day in every way I am getting closer and closer to (or better and better at...) Cou'e

Our intentions and affirmations manifest in our words and words spoken aloud have more power. Ritual takes more effort and affirms the power of our commitment to our Guides and the Creator. It also has a more lasting effect on our subconscious.

 

ACTUALIZE

 

It is imagination which allows the vision, 

intent (will) which sustains its potential 

and acting with faith, belief, hope, surrender and trust that 

Actualize.

 

Key requirements for actualization are:

Hope, Faith, Belief, Trust and Surrender

 

“Hope is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen." Unknown

 

Hope is about believing in spite of the evidence and then watching the evidence change.

 

It will be given to you according to the measure of your faith.

 

The measure of your faith is the only limit to realizing God’s potential for you.

 

We see as we think.
We are as we believe. 
We transcend as we surrender. 
We transform as we trust.

As we think it, so it can be.

As we imagine and believe it, so it will be.

 

First see yourselves in a new way, not as attempting but having already accomplished it and at the desired level, free from all negativity – an empty vessel where light rushes in.

Then intend and imagine it, act to actualize. 

Being so sure of one’s intention that you can decree it to happen implies one has ultimate faith. 

An oath to give back to others if the intention materializes can assist Spirit in complying with the request.

We create our own reality. We are as we imagine, believe and even decree ourselves to be. 

self help (with a small s), seminars teach similar principles. The ultimate ingredient to one's success is belief. For most it is difficult to believe that we deserve to have our material compulsions and needless wants fulfilled. However, we all can believe that we deserve to have our spiritual transformation and those gifts granted to us by the Creator enhanced in order to help others. 

 

We need to create ourselves anew not just intending or wanting but already at the desired level, free from all negative energy.

 

Through meditation and imagery, we connect mentally, emotionally and spiritually with that perfection we ultimately will embody.  

We need to act as if it's already a reality and give gratitude.

Only our doubt will prevent us, not any external barrier.

 

FEEL

 

Be extravagant in imagining, feel it!

All is fashioned by imaging. 

The soul's conversation is not of the mind. It is best heard with the senses.

 

Feel it to be true within one’s inner being.

This is why using the senses is so critical in the process. The senses can be stimulated by a music driven imagination or anything else such as sitting on a rock near the ocean with one’s toes in the sand, the sun on one’s face and the sounds and scents of the ocean.

 

NON-ATTACHMENT

 

Non-Attachment means surrendering, giving in to something bigger than oneself, letting go, trusting in the “Field,” and in your soul’s intention ...

for and on behalf of the greater good. 

Over attachment to outcome may have an ego-like stickiness to it and may imply a lack of trust. Non-Attachment to outcome is essential. Attachment has diminishing returns and will give our intention less traction in the Field. It is best to get ego out of the way of what we desire. It also becomes easier to truly believe if we know that besides ourselves, the other Four Beings of nature and the planet will also benefit. 

 

THE POWER OF THOUGHTS, WORDS, THE SUBCONSCIOUS AND IMAGINATION 

“Why sometimes I’ve imagined as many as six impossible things before breakfast.“ Lewis Carroll 

Behind your image, below your words, above your thoughts, the silence of another world awaits.

“Man has a visible and an invisible workshop.
The visible one is his body - the invisible one his imagination.
The imagination is the sun in the soul of the human acting in its own sphere (the body), just as our sun in our solar system acts on the earth.
Wherever the sun shines, seeds planted in the soil grow and vegetation springs up.
The imagination acts in a similar manner in the soul and calls forms of life into existence.
The spirit (soul) is the master, imagination the tool, the body, the malleable material.
Imagination is the power by which the will forms entities out of  thoughts.
It can produce and cure disease.” Paracelsus

Imagination enhanced by images of nature and music is a powerful tool for healing and curing ourselves. It can enhance the immune system and fortify the Inner Healer.

“When the soul wants to experience something, she throws out an image of the experience in front of her and steps into it.”  Meister Eckhart

Whatever the heart yearns can be imaged. It is only for the will to activate the process.

 

The heart must honor the mind for its understanding and the mind must follow the heart in its wisdom.

Soul conversation is not of the mind, it is of the senses.

IMAGINATION # 3

SOUL SPEAK AND HEARTFELT-NESS

“I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart’s affections and the truth of imagination.” Keats

The sages taught that intention gives birth to one's desires - desires of the senses, desires of the heart and desires of the soul. 

This is what is meant by "delight yourself in the Creator and S/He will give you the desires of your heart.”

... that is His desires for us and our true purpose on the planet rather than for our often misguided intentions. 

Heartfelt-ness, passion and yearning strengthen the process. 

 

So, determine well the heart's true desire for in releasing the power of your motivation, its energies will actualize the holiness or the unholiness of a neutral thought, action or aspiration. 

Imagination can be for sacred or profane purpose. If we use it for the  negative or dark compulsions rather than the positive or light intentions there will be unfavorable karmic consequences. The Creator gave us imaginative power for spiritual transformation and to serve others as well as ourselves.

Religious and duty bound motivation is all well and good karmically but when it is heartfelt it becomes soul connected and will have more traction. 

 

You must have the power to catalyze, encourage and sustain the effectiveness of empowering for transformation but it must be the 

heart's desire not duty's commitment 

that responds to God. 

It is with the trust of caring, 

the surrender of willfulness, 

the exiling of doubt 

and the acceptance of imagined certainty that you will come to succeed. 

Intention cannot be granted unless your soul's intention is made; the focused attention to conscious willing - intention's pure consciousness…

Sensory driven imagination is more powerful. Sacred music is the easiest way.

Soul-speak is a private language learned by listening with the heart.
It has many sounds including that of silence.
Its letters are formed by intention and yearning, (will, passion) which gives life to the words, and surrender, meaning to their eloquence.
All is fashioned by imaging…

Desire, passion, with strong-willed intention change things. Heartfelt-ness is crucial for Soul-Speak. Yearning strengthens the process. 

 

“If you want to build a ship, don’t gather people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” 
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

 

 

THE POWER OF THOUGHTS, WORDS, THE SUBCONSCIOUS AND IMAGINATION 

 

“It is our duty and our joy as human beings to proceed as though there are no limits to our abilities. We are collaborators in creation.” 

de Chardin

 

“People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind – imagination and intuition.” 

W.B. Yeats

 

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent than history, that dreams are more powerful than facts ...”

 Robert Fulghum

IMAGINATION #2

“I think, therefore I am.” Descartes 

(We are Homo Sapiens but can also be Homo "Imaginus.")

We are the makers of myth. Invent the world as you imagine it. Do not let your learning distort your knowing. Wisdom knows the necessity of information and knowledge but is not consumed by them. There are other ways of knowing than the brain.

Consciousness is non-local and outside of the brain. Imagination’s 

consciousness connects us to the Field which can immensely enhance our potential. However, we usually are unable to imagine our lives differently to what they could be. Monkey Mind and fear get in the way of our letting go. Imagination resides in Spacious Mind.

 

“Live the life you have imagined.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Faith and belief fortify our imagination. 

 

“The thing always happens that you really believe in, and the belief in a thing makes it happen.”
Frank Lloyd Wright

 

“... and according to your belief, is it done unto you." Matthew

As you think it so it can be, as you believe and imagine it so it will be…

It will be given to you according to the measure of your faith.

 

Disbelief, denial and doubt can neutralize actualization of our imagination. 

When you have faith, are absolutely sure, resolute and feel you are completely in line with the Creator, Creation and the greater good, a decree or a vow can be very powerful! An oath to give back if the intention materializes can assist Spirit in complying with the request as long as the promise is later fulfilled. We create our reality. We are as we imagine, believe and even decree ourselves to be. 

Being absolutely sure of the road on which you want to travel and so resolute in intention that you can decree it to happen, implies you have ultimate faith. 

 

“You shall decree a thing and it will be established for you and the light will shine upon your days.” Job

 

Faith is more powerful than belief and can be "blind." Faith reveals proof. Faith can allow for the power of a decree! Belief requires proof and relies more on our evolving understandings. Both assist the subconscious. It is acceptable to doubt and still have trust but not to deny and disbelieve. Even though we do not believe fully; the power of suggestion and a positive subconscious can prevail.  Belief does not have to be universally "true,” just true for you. 

Imaging is essential for the subconscious to change.” Remain faithful to that image. Affirm! Repeat! Maintain! Sustain! And with time one will actualize.

Professional athletes that use guided imagery of their routines as training before an event have shown it to be as effective as the practice itself. The same is true for sensory driven (usually with music,) guided imagery for healing and curing disease.

Imagination is the instrument and the strings are the senses - both physical and intuitive.

Moving from where you are, to where you want to be, with the help of imagination and the subconscious.

The more we exercise imaging the more we encompass the possibilities of our human and spiritual potential to form, interiorize and actualize experiences both 
of coming into being and of passing out of being.

 

Romp in the playing field of the senses with imagination.

 

Be extravagant with imagining - Feel it in your bones! Because of the law of free will, imagination is also giving your guides, the Field, the Creator… permission to help through your context of the details provided. The universe will reward you according to the power of your passion driven by your imagination.

We are not just influences but also recipients of influences from distant places and distant times. 

 

Paint the picture of your life with imagination.

“Play in the exultation of the possible.” Martin Buber

 

Non-local intention acting at a distance can manifest. We see the proof in the power of remote viewing, distant diagnosis and distant healing. The ability of the Field, our guides and the Creator to help non-local intention is real.

Have no doubt that with words, imagination and a positive subconscious change can happen, albeit slowly.

To think as God thinks is to think with imagination. 

 

It is also true that as I imagine so I will be – I am Homo “Imaginus.” 

“We all have the price of sanctity in our purse...the reason we can’t purchase it is not because we are poor but because we are stingy.”

B. of Clairvoux

We need to choose which we want to be – unlimited or limited. Animals can think but only humans can imagine. The Creator imagined the multiverse into being from nothing, out of a void. We are made in the image of the Divine and have a microcosmic spark of this power. However, unlike the Creator we are only able to imagine something into being out of something else. The Infinite one can make something out of nothing.

 

Imagination profoundly affects the very unfolding of the universe itself. Our experience as humans is greatly influenced with the grandeur or dearth of its use or misuse.

Imagination is crucial to transforming ourselves and the world in which we live. 

Imaging is dismissed by some as fancy while others look to images as a sort of content. Imaging is a bringing into being. 

We had amazing abilities to imagine as children but this got dampened down when we attended school and were taught that fantasy and imagination had no value. 

Imagination is the elixir of God running through the universe. It is more than positive thinking. It is a dormant power unless activated by will. Intent is made real by imagining in detail, otherwise it is a map of the territory but not the territory itself. The senses enhance imaginations potential. Choice sets intent and will actualizes.

 

Imagination is not a figment of childish fantasy but spiritual reality called by the Self within. We co-create with the Creator.

It is not enough to follow an established path to God - God awaits our creating one.

“Imagination creates, while reason analyzes.” William Blake

Einstein claimed that his gifts of fantasy and imagination meant more to him than his cognitive abilities. He wanted to understand the mind of God. To him, the lack of imagination was a form of slavery. 

 

“I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.” Albert Einstein
