The One Place: Where Visualization Happens

A frequently missed – or forgotten – fact is that visualization has to do with vision. This vision has nothing to do with the human eyes, though, which are instruments of seeing. The vision I’m talking about has to do with that intuitive understanding of spiritual truths – what is often referred to as knowing. This is an experiential thing … something you have to really experience to understand and fathom … and, as such, is difficult to put into …

Visualize and Manifest Goals

Visualization is the awesome decision to consciously focus on something un-manifest that we want in our life; then form and hold an image or idea of that something in our mind; and – as a result of our intention – see if become manifest it our everyday life.

Cosmic Visualization: Acting As If

Whether you call it visualization, positive or affirmative thinking, or day dreaming, the act of seeing yourself already living the life you dream about – or already having the wealth, good health, or prosperity that you desire — is a vital part of the process of manifestation. Most spirit-based disciplines, including shamanism, singularity principle, A Course in Miracles, 12-Step Programs of recovery like AA — and many others — suggest that the notion of acting as if is the key …

Visualizing The Miracle

The world you perceive was created by you — at least that has been my experience over the last few years.  This does not mean I am trying to subscribe guilt to you if your world is rife with misery or poverty or joylessness.

Grappling with Spirituality & Creative Visualization

Today I’ve been mulling over the idea that visualization is our inherent right – provided to us from the universe. Some folks call it just that, this provider of our gift: the verse. Others consider it to be God, Goddess, the great provider, Great Spirit, Spirit, or any number of other names. One of my favorites is Quantum Force because this seems more palpable to non-religious or non-spiritual folks. Another is the force Call it what you will However you define …

The Secret: Not a Secret Anymore!

Shhhh, here’s the real secret … once you know about creative visualization, it’s no longer a secret.  After that it becomes knowledge — power-FULL knowledge that you can use. It’s a fact.  Once you know that creative visualization is not only possible — but that it is the norm — it becomes your responsibility to put it into practice.  In fact, it behooves you to do so; to continually  and consciously focus on some person, place, or thing that presently seems un-manifest …
