Publisher's Synopsis
Does it feel easy or comfortable to imagine what you desire, and to see it as yours? If not, maybe there's a very good reason this feels not as right as it might - one you'll readily recognize. Every time you think a thought, you use your imagination. And, whether you're aware of it or not, you use your mental screen. You literally run a movie in your mind that gets your energy vibration "juices" flowing in one direction or the other. It doesn't matter if you're reviewing a situation, talking, or daydreaming. The "technical" aspects are the same. We're quite skilled at imagining in reverse. We do this each time we revisit something that happened before the present moment we're in. It's imagining forward - in a consistently positive, productive way - that's a challenge for many of us. It's a challenge for a number of reasons, including that we put more practice time in on mentally reliving unpleasant moments, which makes it all too easy to imagine future moments as unpleasant ones to anticipate. Imagining in reverse is remembering. Imagining forward is daydreaming, no matter what other label you might use. And, as any young child discovers in school (and maybe from family members), daydreaming is a "punishable offense." We're told daydreaming is unproductive and a waste of time. We're told there's something wrong with doing it or wrong with us if we do it. But, what is daydreaming, really - or, atleast, the way it starts out for us as children? It's envisioning something we desire, with positive, even delicious, anticipation. Is it any wonder that, after being conditioned in a negative way about daydreaming as children, we feel out of practice, or resistant or even hesitate to trust it as adults? Yet, it's so important because its role is MAJOR in the Law of Attraction manifestation process. We're also discouraged from daydreaming because we aren't supposed to get our hopes up about some of our desires being fulfilled. We're told it's a way to avoid disappointment; though, no one explains the disappointment we'll feel as a result of suppressing our dreams and desires. We're told this by others who had use of their imagination punished, ridiculed, or even whipped out of them. This leaves us feeling it's safer, or at least more acceptable, to focus on "what is" than on What Is Possible. Nor or we encouraged to realize how many once-thought impossibilities are now realities. Yet, "what is" and What Is Possible operate the same way as the Yin/Yang symbol: each becomes the other. Each feeds the other. The mavericks that make a positive and creative difference in this world, in any era, are the ones who use their imagination the way it's meant to be used: To envision, dream, solve, resolve, and create. But, you don't have to be a maverick to enjoy the benefits of daydreaming. You just have to be human. We face a quandary when we don't daydream deliberately, because Law of Attraction matches our energy vibration - comprised of a blend of thoughts, feelings, beliefs, mindset, and attitude. It matches the set-point of what we are willing to allow, first, freely in our imagination, and then freely as our experience. Our set-point is like our thermostat setting for allowing us to picture what we desire and for allowing ourselves to receive what we picture or something even better. We're the ones who ultimately control the settings; which means we can raise them. But, we have to pay attention to how we use our imaginations.
