Problems are messages.
Poverty on both a personal and worldwide level is supported by our collective belief in scarcity.
Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing.
Learning to trust our intuition is an art form, and like all other art forms, it takes practice to perfect.
As you learn to be true to yourself, you will find that you attract people, work, and other circumstances that reflect your evolution and development.
The clearer and stronger your intention, the more quickly and easily your creative visualization will work.
We have to understand in a deep way that having what we truly want in life contributes to the general state of human happiness and supports others in creating more happiness for themselves.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. – Matthew 7: 7, 8.
To get in touch with different aspects of your self-image, begin to ask yourself “How do I feel about myself right now?
In creative visualization you use your imagination to create a clear image, idea, or feeling of something you wish to manifest.
The practice of engaging in affirmations allows us to begin replacing some of our stale, worn-out, or negative mind chatter with more positive ideas and concepts.
Instead of figuring out what I wanted, setting goals, and trying to control what happened to me, I began to practice tuning in receptively to my intuition and acting on what it told me without always understanding why I was doing what I was doing. It was a feeling of letting go of control, surrendering, and allowing the higher power to be in charge.
It is often very helpful to use creative visualization in picturing yourself as a more relaxed, open person, flowing, living in the here and now, and always connected with your inner essence.
Divine light and divine love are flowing through me and radiating from me to everything around me.
I trust my own process. I always have everything I need.
What this means for our practical purposes is that if you learn to relax deeply and do creative visualization, you may be able to make far more effective changes in your life than you would by thinking, worrying, planning, and trying to manipulate things and people.
Our fears arise from things we don’t confront. Once we are willing to look fully and deeply at the source of a fear, it loses its power.
You realize that life can be basically good, abundant, and often fun, and that having what you truly want, without struggle and strain, is part of your natural birthright.
When you don’t pay attention to your intuition, or go against it, you may find that you feel a certain heaviness, lack of energy, a kind of deadness. This is because the life force is trying to come through and move you in a certain way, and it is being blocked.
Create a Clear Idea or Picture Create an idea, a mental picture, or a feeling of the object or situation exactly as you want it. You should think of it in the present tense as already existing the way you want it to be. Imagine yourself in the situation as you desire it, now. Include as many details as you can.
Focus on It Often Bring your idea or mental picture to mind often, both in quiet meditation periods, and also casually throughout the day when you happen to think of it. In this way it becomes an integrated part of your life, and it becomes more of a reality for you. Focus on it clearly, yet in a light, relaxed way. It’s important not to feel like you are striving too hard for it or putting an excessive amount of energy into it – that tends to hinder rather than help.
