Creative Visualization - Part One

From Imagination To Reality - Attracting Success With Mind Power

by Remez Sasson

Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams come true.
Used in the right way, creative visualization can improve our life and attract success and prosperity. It
is a power that can alter our environment and circumstances, cause events to happen, and attract
money, possessions, work, people and love into our life. Creative visualization uses the power of the
mind, and is the power behind every success.

By visualizing a certain event or a situation, or an object, such as a car, a house, furniture

etc, we attract it into our life. It is a process that is similar to daydreaming. For some people
it might look like magic, but there is no magic involved, only the natural process of the
power of thoughts and natural mental laws. It is like having a genie at your disposal!

There are people who use this technique naturally in their everyday affairs, not being aware
that they are using some sort of power. All successful people use it consciously or
unconsciously, attracting the success they want into their life, by visualizing their goals as
already accomplished.

Creative Visualization and the Power of Thoughts

How does it work and why? Thoughts, if powerful enough, are accepted by our subconscious mind,
which then changes our mindset accordingly, as well as our habits and actions, and this brings us into
contact with new people, situations and circumstances.

Thought is a creative stuff that molds our life and attracts similar stuff into our life. Thoughts also
travel from one mind to another, and if they are strong enough, they can be unconsciously picked up
by people, who are in a position to help us materialize our desires and goals.

We are part of the Omnipotent Power that has created the universe, and we therefore we participate
in the process of creation. Bearing this thought in mind, there is no wonder that thoughts materialize.
Stop for a moment and think - You are an indivisible part of the great Universal Power! This
means that your thoughts can come true! Not all thoughts of course, but those that are concentrated,
well-defined, and often-repeated often. This is taken form eastern philosophy.

Thought is energy, especially a concentrated thought laden with emotional energy. Thoughts change
the balance of energy around us, and bring changes to the environment in accordance with them.

There is another explanation why visualization brings results. It may come as a surprise to most, but
the theory of "Maya" - Illusion, which comes from the eastern philosophies, provides the explanation.

According to the Indian philosophy "Advaita- Vedanta", which is called "Nonduality" in the West, the
world is not real, but only an illusion, created by our thoughts. Since most people think and repeat the
same or similar thoughts often, focusing their mind and thoughts on their current environment, they
create and recreate the same sort of events or circumstances. (The Philosophy of Divine Love calls
this the outer world and inner world i think (the inner being the mind) This process preserves the same
"world" and status quo. It is like watching the same film over and over again, but we can change the
film by changing our thoughts and visualize different circumstances and life, and in this way create a
different "reality". For us it is a reality, though in fact it is just a dream we call "reality".

By changing our thoughts and mental images we change our "Reality"; we change the "illusory"
world we believe we live in. We are not employing magic or supernatural powers when creating and
changing our life and circumstances. It is not something "Material" that we change; we only change
our thoughts, which shape our world.
All this is like dreaming a very realistic dream, and then changing the dream. We are not awakening
from the dream, just changing the dream.

So why not change your dreams to something more satisfying?

If you live in small apartment and need a larger one, instead of brooding about your fate and lack of
money, change your thoughts and visualize and believe that you are living in a bigger apartment.

Overcoming Limited Thinking

Creative visualization can do great things, but for every person there are some areas, which he or
she might find hard to change, at least in the immediate future. The power of visualization is a mighty
power, but there are some limits to using it. These limits are within us, not in the power.

We often limit ourselves and cannot look beyond a limited circle. We limit ourselves by our thoughts
and beliefs. The more open-minded we can be, and the more big we dare ti think, the greater are our
opportunities and possibilities. Limitations are within our minds, and it is up to us to rise above them.

It may take some time until things start to change. Simple, small demonstrations of this power may
come fast, but bigger results may need a longer time to happen.

The time and effort put forth in this study are really worthwhile. Have faith and patience and results
will start appearing.

An Example of Creative Visualization

Years ago, before I got married, I decided to visualize having a date. I imagined myself sitting in a
restaurant and talking with a girl. I concentrated on this image several times during the day, several
minutes each time.

The next day, a girl working in the same place where I worked, asked me if I could come to her desk. I
hardly ever spoke with her, maybe just saying good morning. I went to her desk and she asked me
whether I had a girl friend. When she heard that I did not have one, she proposed to introduce me to
one of her friends, and then gave me her phone number.

When I got home I called the girl, and asked her to meet me. We met on the same day in a restaurant,
exactly as I visualized.

All this happened within about 24 hours. Surprising isn't it? This power can sometimes work real fast.
Oh, you are curious to know what happened with that date? Well, nothing, because she was not the
type of girl I was looking for. I rather used the power of visualization haphazardly, not thinking about
how I wanted her look like, about her character, etc. I just thought about meeting a girl, a wish that
came true.

This is all interesting, he has taken philosophies from the east and written this book in order to help
people create success in what ever they want in life through the practices he's describing.

I am thinking that my project/The Philosophy of Divine Love is also getting to the

same thing bout visualizing God, and then you will attain him, the link is there, though the rewards are
of a Divine nature rather than material. And the author here is preaching how to use that "power" and
attain the Material possessions that we want. It seems that he has got this philosophy from eastern
cultures & religion, Hinduism as he pointed out - and teaching how to use it to better your material life
- very smart of him, although I still wish he was a doctor, or scientist or something so that i could give
him scholarly credibility.
