'What you need to be investing in is your OWN stock: take stock of what your beliefs are & invest in yourself so that you can appreciate yourself more & when you appreciate yourself fully, you will be RICH beyond your wildest dreams in more ways than you can imagine because you ALREADY ARE ABUNDANT. The issue is not learning to be abundant: the issue is learning what to be abundant in because you are always abundant in something! So if you don't prefer an abundance of lack, CHOOSE a different form of abundance! You cannot not be abundant! When you allow yourself to exist in the here & now, you will begin to perceive what is also with you in the here & now that is reflective of your true abundant nature.' :B{What I AM ABUNDANT in: HEALTH! Rent-free accommodation! TIME! Teachings guided by Higher Self! The Will to Self-Improve! Luck & Improving Self-Belief! Food! Guidance! Opportunities to feed birds & dogs!}
'Perception: How do you see what you see? CHANGE IT! It's not rigid: it's as fluid as the air. You have to use your perception to look @ everything you're looking at from a different point of view. How do you look @ what you're capable of doing? How do you look @ your life? Start to shift the way you see things. Don't look @ life the same way every day. Try & upgrade your view. Look @ it from a different point of view: raise yourself, look down @ it, look up @ it, look sideways @ it! It's as you see it, that's the way it is for you. ' :BP
'Righteousness is the consciousness of already being what you want to be; it is remaining in integrity to your desired state. Seek ye first the entire creation of God, your "I Am" which is already in you, & his righteousness(already believe that you are the human that you desire to be) & all these things shall be added unto you.
The ability to mentally move from things as they are to things as they ought to be is one of the most important discoveries that man can make : it reveals man as a centre of imagining with powers of intervention which enable him to alter the course of observed events, moving from success to success, through a series of mental transformations of nature, of others & himself. How does he do it? Self-abandonment - that is the secret: he has to abandon himself mentally to his wish fulfilled in his love for that state & in so doing, live in the NEW STATE & no more in the old state. The secret of self-commission is FAITH + LOVE. Faith is believing in what is incredible : we commit ourselves to the feeling of the wish fulfilled, in faith that this act of self-commission will become a reality & it will, because imagining creates reality. Imagination is both conservative & transformative. It's conservative when it builds its world from images supplied by memory & the evidence of the senses. It's creatively transformative when it imagines things as they ought to be, building its world out of the generous dreams of fancy.
In the procession of images, those that take precedence naturally are those of the senses. Nevertheless, a present sense impression is only an image: it doesn't differ in nature from a memory image or the image of a wish. What makes a present sense impression so objectively real is the individual's imagination functioning in it & thinking from it. Whereas in a memory image or a wish, the individual's imagination is not functioning in it & thinking from it but is functioning out of it & thinking of it. If the individual would enter into the image in his imagination, then would he know what it is to be creatively transformative. Then would he realize his wish. Every image can be embodied but unless man himself enters the image & thinks from it, it is incapable of birth. That which requires imaginative occupancy to produce its effect obviously cannot be affected without such occupancy. Imagination is spiritual sensation(through imaginal sight, sound, taste, touch): enter the image of the wish fulfilled, then give it sensory vividness & tones of reality by mentally acting as you would act were it a physical fact. If you do give it sensory vividness, all things will conspire to aid your harvesting & on reflection, you will see how subtle were the threads that led to your goal. You could never have devised the means which your imaginal activity used to fulfil itself. If man longs to escape from his present sense fixation, to transform his life into a dream of what might well be, he has to but imagine that he is already what he wants to be & then feel the way he would expect to feel under such circumstances. Let him, like the make believe of a child who is remaking the world after its own heart, create his world out of pure dreams of fancy. Let him mentally enter into his dream, that he mentally do what he would actually do were it physically true. He will discover that dreams are realized not by the rich, but by the imaginative.
Nothing stands between man & the fulfilment of his dream but facts, & facts are the creations of imagination. If man changes his imagination, he would change the facts. ' :NG
