There is a right and a wrong way
of doing everything; there is a right and a wrong way of using the Creative
Imagination. By visualizing and strong willing, the imagination can be used, or
rather, misused in such a way as to produce results. But these have no
permanence, and can bring no real harmony into being. Such results are a
creation of the mind of separateness and because of this have no divine
foundation; therefore, like the house built upon the sand, spoken of by Jesus,
they fall into ruin, because they have no true foundation. Henry Thomas Hamblin ~ DIVINE ADJUSTMENT
So often when we focus on
our dreams and desires our attention is on what's not working, what's missing
and the fear that we will never get what we want. We may be repelling or
stalling our desires without even realizing it.
Take a moment to reflect on your strongest unfulfilled
desire. It probably is the one that has been lurking around for awhile, it may
be related to weight loss, cash flow, relationships, etc. Now imagine your
desire coming to fruition. What do you love about this fulfilled desire? Take
some breaks throughout your day and allow yourself to bask in the glow of
this desire. Marrying your desires with love rather than fear clears the path
for your desires to manifest. http://www.receiveyourlife.com
I want
you to start seriously to develop your visualizing powers.
By this you will improve your memory out of all
knowledge, but that is quite a minor matter. What is of importance is that what
you create in the form of a mental vision, if persistently held in the mind,
will assuredly manifest itself in your life. Thus you have two methods by which
you can alter your life, create better circumstances, and achieve success. 1st,
by Denials and Affirmations, and, 2nd, by Meditation, Concentration and
Visualizing. The two should work together. For instance, you make an affirmation,
preceded by a denial, next, you conjure up a mental picture of what you have
affirmed yourself to be.
You wish
to be successful, therefore first of all you must deny evil and affirm Good,
because evil is the general cause of all your troubles and lack of success;
next you will affirm Success and follow this by visualizing either yourself in
your perfect mental world, radiant and successful, or else dwell only on the
perfect world of MIND where there is no failure or limitation of any
description.
It should be stated that quicker results will be
obtained if in addition to visualizing yourself radiantly successful, you will
create a sharply defined picture of the exact success that you wish to achieve.
If it is money that
you want then "see" the money falling in showers upon your desk, if it is service to
others that you desire, then "see" yourself nursing the sick and
ministering to the broken-hearted, whatever you picture in this way
persistently, will, in time, be brought to pass in your life. Nothing ever
"happens," it is always "brought to pass." You cannot get
what you want merely by a pious wish, you have to work for it by mental
imagery, then in time the way will open for you in a most marvelous manner.
First you
clear away the mist of evil which clouds your vision and numbs your faculties
and crowds your life with difficulty, this you do by killing it by the use of
the denial "There is no evil." Use this denial until the mist clears
away and you get a clear view of your perfect world of Mind, then affirm
"There is only Infinite Good." Then deny poverty and failure, because
they have no part in a perfect world, neither can they affect you, who are in
essence, a perfect mental creature.
Having killed failure and poverty by denial, then affirm
"I am Success, I am a Perfect mental creature, one with the Source of all
Good, part of the Universal Mind." "I am Success, like a magnet I
attract to me all that I need." "A thousand invisible forces hasten
to do my bidding." I am carried along by an irresistible power, I am
Success, Success, Success.
Make this
affirmation preceded by the denials, night and morning, always making the
affirmation in "Your perfect mental world," buttress it up by
repeating it during the day, each time raising yourself to your higher world;
do this, and you will revolutionize your life.
The
principle of the "square deal" runs right through life and the
Universe. A business man who tries to get something for nothing, who, in other
words, fails to give value for money,
finally finds himself without a customer.
The
principle of 'the square deal" runs through all life and the universe.
Should an artist conceive a picture and be content that it remain in his mind,
can he rightly expect payment for his creation? Would it be right if payment
were made to him for a picture that existed only in his imaginative mind? No,
because he has not rendered any service to his fellows, he has not given value
for money. Let him
therefore put his picture on canvas and thus bring joy and refreshment to many,
and for his service payment will be made, and the greater his conception the
greater will be the reward.
One great
factor in winning success is the mental attitude of cheerfulness and
brightness. People are attracted to the cheerful, optimistic person, and
repelled by one who is gloomy and pessimistic. Be cheerful and bright under all
circumstances and this alone will be worth a king's ransom to you. These
qualities alone will bring you in more money every year than most people get by hard work, to say
nothing of the joy and cheeriness which this attitude of mind will attract to
you.
Read this lesson over as often as you can find time to do so; it
cannot be absorbed all at once.
Hold in your mind a sharp
definite picture of the success you have planned. If it is money that you desire, then
see money in
abundance pouring in streams on to your desk. If it is health that you need,
hold a picture of perfect health ever before your mental eyes. If it is a
wealthy practice, then mentally "see" yourself in a perfectly
appointed office receiving wealthy clients in large numbers, and
"see" them waiting patiently in queues for their turn to see you.
Whatever it
is that you desire, no matter whether it be invention, genius, love, friends,
house, lands or service to others, picture it very definitely and distinctly
and hold this image over before your mind, keep constantly calling it up, and
every time that you do so let the sight thrill you with pleasure. As you call
up the picture affirm "I
am Success," and believe that
it is already yours. Keep on affirming success, and visualizing success, and it
will surely come and in much larger volume than ever you imagined possible.
Another
special visualizing exercise is as follows:
Sit yourself in a quiet place, upright in
a chair, close your eyes. Now mentally send out to all the World your best
service. If you are a great writer of books, see them being sent by the
thousand, by rail and steamship, all over the globe. If you are a merchant or
manufacturer, see your goods being dealt with in the same way. If you are an
artist, see your pictures going to many lands. If you are a poet, see your
poems bringing joy and peace to thousands of hearts everywhere. No matter what
your occupation may be, or may be in the near future, see the effects of your
service going out to all mankind. Do this for a few minutes, and then reverse
the process. See money coming back to you from all over the
world. Call up a clear and perfect image of money arriving by every post, in the form of drafts,
cheques, money orders, or cash. See it after the envelopes are opened.
See yourself counting it and piling it up. Do this for a few minutes and then
dismiss that matter from your mind.
Remember the three
great Laws:
(1) The Law of Love and Attraction.
"Give love, and love to YOUR heart will flow, a
strength in your utmost need."
(2) The Law of Compensation.
"Then give to the World the best you have, and the best will come back to
you."
(3) The Law of Absolute Justice. "For with what measure
ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
I want you to realize:
That within you are
infinite power and possibilities.
That the inward Power
can be aroused and brought into expression by holding high ideals * in the mind and by
affirmations and meditation.
That it is necessary
to spend a short time in the Unseen both night and morning.
That by so doing you
can enter a super-conscious realm where your word is creative.
That what you speak
comes to pass, that what you mentally picture must come true.
That it is only by
following high ideals * that true success can
be achieved.
Therefore, picture a
higher life--the highest you can conceive, and affirm that it is yours.
Remember that this higher life is without sickness, disease, forward with
joy--you can never fail.
I wish you
the highest possible success. Henry Thomas Hamblin ~ DYNAMIC THOUGHT [1923]
* Ties
in with THE IDEAL
MADE REAL by CHRISTIAN D(aa) LARSON ( The purpose of this work is to present
practical methods through which anyone, the beginner in particular, may realize
his ideals, cause his cherished dreams to come true, and cause the visions of
the soul to become tangible realities in everyday life.)
We say emphatically, there
is such a law, and that you can be free from the fear and dominance of money, that you can have an
abundance of all good things, that you can be well and happy, and can bring
about an adjustment into perfect harmony to all departments of your life if you
want these things enough to train yourself to obey this law.
But that is the very thing
you must do, if you would obey the law; and when we show you how to free
yourself from fear and worry you will not only be able to free yourself from
the power money has over you, but you will have found the straight and narrow way
to the Kingdom. And all the powers of the Kingdom will help you, if you are
strong and determined enough to win the goal. For the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness is only a state of consciousness where we do right thinking where
we think God's thoughts only.
YOU CAN
DO IT. You can do it, you must do it if you would have the blessings
which He promises you, and which we promise you when we say that you can have
an abundance of all good things and that you can be free from the dominance of money forever.
Thus God brings His children
that love Him finally to realize that they cannot serve both God and Mammon.
For they must be shown or that they are serving Mammon just as much by fearing
him and yielding to the power of be money, as they would be by openly worshipping money and becoming its
slave when having great quantities of it.
They must be made to see
that by fearing money's seeming power they are making it first and God second in on
their lives, and until they truly want to serve God more than any other thing,
and prove it by their right thinking, speech and action, they are not yet where
His help can reach them.
Then as a King's son YOU must learn, if all that
your Father has is yours, to spend freely of the riches He has given you with
absolute fearlessness. For there is no limit to them, no lack of wealth, for it
is always available. His resources are inexhaustible.
You must acquire this
consciousness, you must feel even as does the other Prince about spending or
using money Think you that he has any fear of lack or limitation of supply?
The quickest way to rid your
mind of that old fear of want, fear of your job, fear of the power of money, is to have an absolute
trust in your heavenly Father's loving care and for you to pay out gladIy your
last dollar for a needed thing, KNOWING that by so doing you make
it possible for Him to supply you with plenty more.
It is as if your needs must
keep the stream of money ever flowing, if you would not clog up its source.
For money, in its true sense, is the
means for the perfect expression of material life; even as the blood is the
means for the perfect expression of physical health.
In
both cases your mind must not only hold true and pure thoughts God's thoughts
only about the material life of yourself and others, and about your physical
well-being, but you must know that God's Mind is the Source of all true
thoughts; and by perfect faith and trust in Him you thus keep your self open to
the free circulation of His Thoughts in your consciousness about both your
affairs and your body, thus creating perfect health and harmony in both.
This has been proven by many
so-called "tithers". They have created a
consciousness where they know that, by using money freely in such perfect
trust in God, and especially in thanksgiving and loving gratitude to Him,
giving freely a percentage of their income to that part of His Work which is
bringing the Truth to them, they become greatly blessed in this world's goods
and are put in a position where they can help many souls to come into this same
truth.
It
is the pinching and holding on to your last dollar, fearing that no more will
come, that actually prevents your receiving more.
For giving, more than
anything else, helps to open the channel so that supply, both spiritual and
material, can freely flow. THE WAY OUT by Joseph Benner
