Altering World Reality

5/20/05

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 susceptible to a hoax or a con. World governments and religions operate by their masterful illusions of godlike or militaristic supremacy. 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 convenience and expediency. 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 1960s and 1970s. 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 marriage. This process of visualization has been used and perfected by artists, athletes and entrepreneurs for centuries. So many successful people have discovered that visualization of their goals was vital to their 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 transforming physical reality? Yes, Yes, Yes. When I have applied the strict discipline needed to accomplish self abandonment, by my intense focus upon my desired vision, remarkable results occurred. 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 visualize 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 tolerate a vacuum.

Disciplines 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 unconsciously 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 collective consciousness of the people all over the world can be directed to the visions of doom and gloom prophets why can’t their collective consciousness 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 indestructible walls that will protect and defend human civilization. We are all only a thought away for that vision to become reality. Gandhi said, “You must become the change you wish to see in the world.”
