CHAPTER 4 – Visualization - Imaging

As pointed out in a previous chapter, every thought or idea, whether it was brought on by internal or external consciousness, causes a physical stimulus in some way or another within the physical body.

Practice visualization, and project your best self-image, every day in the way you look, walk, talk, listen, and react. Norman Vincent Peale in his Book Positive Imaging : advocated strong imagery to succeed too ones potential

The subconscious mind will follow through and recognises predominant images and desires. It assimilates them and organises them into an infallible plan to enable the conscious mind to attain a predominant desire. For example, if you were feeding your subconscious mind negative images and thoughts, such as poverty, disease, failure, destitution, then the subconscious would carry out the plan. If on the other hand you fed it with positive thoughts such as wealth, fame, success and good fortune, then the subconscious mind would loyally carry this out for your attainment.
Visualising for some people can be like trying to tune into a broken down television, to be able to visualise clearly, may take practice. This is where the conscious mind can help, the brain like any other muscle needs strengthening and this can only be done by practice. Try this, close your eyes and imagine a white horse, now watch it gallop away, stop and then come back to you, watch it rear up and then turn into a pink horse, then a black one, then back to white with black spots. Practice this type of imagined images over and over again, the picture will become much clearer.

Program your subconscious mind with clear pictures of what you desire as if they are already in existence. This is for your future, wealth and happiness, as the subconscious mind is the overriding master of all our subjective thoughts and actions, we can fool the conscious mind into believing what it is led to believe. For example if you consciously act enthusiastic (even if your are not) about a certain job or chore, you will certainly become enthusiastic and it then becomes a joy.

The ego within one self can also be boosted by conscious thoughts, "If you dress the part you become the part," is an old saying. Women in particular can get a lift out of a hair do, or dressing up in best clothing can bring a spring back into a step. On the other hand if you dress like a tramp or act as if your down and out, you become one.

Theodore Roosevelt  A former American president once said, "There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first but by acting as if I was not afraid, I gradually ceased to be afraid."

Goethe a philosopher from the last century wrote, "What ever you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, Power and Magic in it."

The famous author of  "Think and Grow Rich" Napoleon Hill  wrote "What a man truly believes he can accomplish, he then can truly become"  
Thomas Edison American inventor, probably the greatest of all time with over 1,300 patents to his name once said "Be careful what you set your heart and mind on, for it surely will be yours”

Emerson One of America greatest Philosophers said  "A man is what he thinks about all day long." and " Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams."
Chanting a suggestion over and over can also change the subconscious mind. 
Emile Coue a French chemist became famous for the phrase "Each and every day I am getting better and better" He would tell his patients to say this over and over and with astonishing results. Thousands flocked to his clinic in Nancy France, he called this chanting phenomena autosuggestion, whereby the patient cured himself through positive imaging and suggestions. See-self-suggestion.com

What you imagine as being real, with frequency, becomes your own version of reality. Imagine and fantasise that person you would most like to become-and the self-image reads the script, memorises it and acts accordingly.

To think what you want to think is to visualize your true expectancy, regardless of appearances. Every man has the natural and inherent power to think what he wants to think, but it requires far more conscious effort to do this, than it does to simply think the thoughts, which are not compulsory by appearances. To think according to exterior thoughts is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is difficult, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other man is called upon to perform.

There is no toil from which most people minimize as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world. This is especially true when truth is contrary to appearances. Every appearance in the visible world tends to produce a corresponding structure in the mind. Wallace D Wattles

To look upon the appearance of disease will produce the form of disease in your own mind, and ultimately in your body, unless you hold the thought of the truth, which is that there is no disease; it is only an appearance, and the reality is health.
To look upon the appearances of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your own mind, unless you hold to the truth that there is no poverty; there is only abundance. To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease, or to think riches when in the midst of appearances of poverty, requires power; but those who acquires this power becomes a MASTER MIND. He can conquer fate; he can have what he wants in this life.
