Enter Into the Picture

Here is the SIMPLE SECRET to a lifetime of happiness! You must use the Law of Attraction in all 3 critical areas of your energy field. I call it the WOW factor.

Within you: Putting the Law of Attraction to work in your thoughts, feeling, words and visualizations can make huge changes quickly in your life and your self esteem. When you change the way you think about things, the things you think about change.
On you: When you dress to match your personal energy, you will enjoy increased profits, empowering relationship and feel more energized. Dress so that the colors, fabrics, and clothing you wear have vibrations which match your personal energy.
What’s around you: The flow of energy that surrounds you influences you greatly in either achieving your goals or blocking your dreams. You are a living, breathing, energy field and your environment is part of that field.

If you are not using the Law of Attraction in all three areas of your energy field, you are giving the universe mixed message and are probably stuck on your road to success.

To make it simple, like attracts like. You can learn to hold the vision and incorporate the habits that allow you to radiate the energy of that which you want to attract - and the good news is that it is fun. Learning to do this is the most exciting adventure you will ever take.

This article focuses on the incredible, creative power of imagination which comes from Within You.

Decide what you desire and then think of your picture, your visualization, from within the scenario. For example, do not just see a picture of yourself lying on a beach towel on the beach in the Bahamas. If you really want to accomplish a trip to the Bahamas, visualize it like this: Experience the picture as though you were lying on the beach towel on a beach in the Bahamas (rather than seeing yourself do it). What does the sand look like? Is it hot against your hands which touch the tiny grains of sand? How far away from the water are you? What color is the water? Are you enjoying the palm trees above you swaying in the breeze? Do you hear the ocean waves breaking beside you? Do you smell the ocean air? Enjoy the native girl as she asks if you want your hair braided (unless you don’t want to experience those native girls selling their wares on the beach). Listen to the steel band playing behind you from a hut on the beach. Get up and put your feet in the ocean and feel the cool waves on your toes.

You are there! You are experiencing it in advance! You are not just seeing yourself there, like a picture. You are in the picture! Yes! You are feeling what it is like to be there already!

OK, do it. Place a thought of a desired future situation in your mind. Make sure you are in the scene. Get the feeling of how you would feel if the situation were already occurring. Take a careful look at the picture. Pictures you see in your mind, that you don’t actually believe can become a reality in your life, are usually black and white, darker in color, poorly lit, somewhat blurry, far away and small.

Let’s make your picture believable. Is it in color? If not, paint your picture with beautiful bright memorable colors to enhance it.

Usually, you will need to turn the lights up on your picture. Make it bright and easy to see.

Make sure you bring your picture into focus so that it is crystal clear. It’s easy to bring the blurry edges into focus.

Next, bring the picture closer. Of course you can: it’s your mind, your thoughts, your picture, and you are in control!

If your picture is small, make it bigger and put it in the center of your mind rather than in a corner.

Is there any motion in it? It is a more memorable picture and easier to access in the future if you have some movement.

Do you hear any sounds in your picture? I hope so. Listen. Perhaps you are exclaiming with excitement that you are succeeding with your goal. Perhaps someone else is making a statement to you. Perhaps there is important background noise depending on the setting. If it is a beach, you can hear the waves splashing on the sea shore. Put some sounds into your picture.

Do you smell anything? The sense of smell is very effective in making an impression on your creative mind. Make it REAL!

Now, feel how it would feel if it had already happened, capture that feeling and intensify it! Intensify it again. Intensify it again and soak up that feeling.

You just did a mental exercise. It is called imaging or visualizing. Your mind is always picturing. It thinks in pictures. Visualizing is no more than the conscious picturing of your future. The imaginary picture you just visualized will become much easier to imagine each time you do it.

Why did you do it? What does it accomplish besides being a pleasurable way to see your future desires and goals? It creates them!

Anyone can accomplish anything if he or she believes it is possible. How is it possible to believe that you can attain a desired goal? You imagine it with feeling. You create it in your mind. The creator gave you power over one thing—your mind! It is the only thing over which you have complete unchallengeable control. Anything that you can create in your mind can to be transmitted into actions.

You have heard the prophetic lines, “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul….” You are the master of your soul and the captain of your fate because you have the power to control (and exercise) your mind! You can change your life only if you consciously change the pictures in your imagination—if you use your imagination constructively, rather than use it destructively and unconsciously.

Napoleon Hill’s famous words, “Whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve,” are exactly right! You first conceive your goal in your mind with the feeling you would feel if it were already accomplished. Next, you come to believe it because you repetitively see it with the feeling that it is already accomplished to the point that you know it is yours; and then you achieve it because it is created in your physical world.

The speed of achieving the physical creation often depends on the intensity of the feeling as well as the frequency and the singleness of focus of your visualization.

If you are doubtful about the process because it is so intangible, think about the miracle of electricity. Even if you know nothing about the intricate way that electricity works, you can get the same incredible benefit of it as the smartest electrician on the planet, every time you walk into a room and flip on the switch. It is the same with the picturing power of the mind. Your mind creates the picture, hopefully with conscious intention now that you know the benefits that can result, and then your life is shaped according to your thoughts. Even if you don’t understand how it works, you still receive the benefit.

Psychologists say that the imagination is one of the strongest mind powers. It is actually an age-old device. In ancient times, when a child was born into Royalty, the walls would soon become filled with pictures showing all the experiences that his parents desired in his life.

There are cases of blindfolded men having actually died because they imagined they were cut by a knife across the jugular vein, when in reality a piece of ice was used and water was allowed to drip so they could hear it and imagine their blood was running out.

Instead of fighting or worrying your way out of problems, picture yourself out of them. Take control of every aspect of your life, now, by becoming a specialist in exercising your mind! Definite tangible benefits will be the result of definite specific emotionalized action pictures. Imagine the situation as you wish it to be. Imagination is the creative power of the soul and can accomplish miracles when put to use.

You’ve frequently heard that your intelligence is your most important asset when it comes to accomplishing success. It is not! It is your imagination that shapes your life in any way you choose. Things do not happen to you, they happen through you! You are the director of every play in your mind! That which plays on your mind’s stage soon comes to play on your physical life stage.

You now know you must consciously picture what you want. If you don’t, you are unconsciously picturing what you don’t want. The normal activity of the mind is to picture. Imagination is the author of everything that is formed in the universe. Everything in the universe that has ever come forth, whether it be good or bad, has been brought forth by the creative imagination of mankind. A good example of such a creation is Morgan Robertson’s book, FUTILITY. In 1898, a novel was written about an Atlantic liner, larger than any had ever been built before. In Robertson’s book, the passengers were complacent, rich people. The ship was wrecked on an iceberg and all passengers were killed. Fourteen years later a British shipping company, the White Star line, built a steamer strikingly similar to the one in Robertson’s novel. The new liner was 66,000 tons; the one in Robertson’s book was 70,000 tons. The new liner was 882.5 feet long; the one in Robertson’s book was 800 feet. The new liner could carry about 3000 people; the same with the one in Robertson’s book. Both had only enough lifeboats for a fraction of the people aboard. Both were labeled “unsinkable.” Robertson’s ship was called the Titan; the White Star Line called its ship the Titanic. The scheme was conceived by the author, presented in a book to the minds of the world, who obviously believed it to be possible, because it was achieved.

Deity gives us the power to create. There is no creation without that power. Use it with integrity or pay the consequences! As you visualize and imagine your desires, be guided by knowing that what you desire is for the good of all involved.

People ask me if this is manipulating life. You bet it is. It is direct God-given manipulation with the mind that he has given you. Of all the faculties of man, imagination is the most God-like. Remember that the automatic natural action of the mind is to picture. If you are not taking charge of your life by consciously picturing what you want in a constructive way, you are unconsciously picturing what you don’t want in a destructive way. Deliberate visualization with intense feeling is not only the best way to create your life; it is the best way to change your life. Use it to resolve family or relationship problems, to change your finances, and to create healing.
