The following piece is an excerpt from my book, “Word, From Your Mother,” a daily guidance journal written for my children, Liv and Pierce-Gabriel.
Excerpt #24
Apparently, the best way to have your wish or desire fulfilled is to imagine that you already have it. Neville Goddard said that “Christ is awakened through human imagination.” He recommends this practice. First, set your objective. In other words, know what it is that you desire or want. Then, have a waking dream about your desire. Define and accept this dream as a physical reality.
Try this. Close your eyes are and put yourself in the space of your wish fulfilled. For example, say you desire to visit a tropical island such as Barbados. Imagine yourself with all of your senses there. If you’re having this waking dream while sitting in your bed, mentally remove all aspects of the room you’re in, including the ground. Replace it with the lounge chair you’re reclined on at the beach. Smell the ocean, sense the warmth of the sun, feel the sand on your toes as you drop a foot down from the lounge chair. Hear the sea…the ebb and the flow of the waves.
How do you feel? This is the most essential part of manifesting this wish. The energy which is associated with the wish fulfilled is what draws it to you. Some call this the law of attraction. Goddard refers to it as the law of reversibility. I believe that we create our realities by our thoughts and the energy produced by the feelings aligned with those thoughts.
Be mindful as you manifest your desires. If you start at point A of your probable wish-“I want to go to Barbados,” but become too specific in your thoughts about it: “How will I get the money? When will I be able to go? I’m broke. I’ll never get the time off from work. What exactly are you attracting? All roadblocks. Therefore, this is what will manifest. You are pinching yourself off from possibilities.
How can you manifest the seemingly impossible desire? Remember to use your imagination! Pretend as though you were a little child when you weren’t robbed of using your imagination. Write it down. “I’m already there. I feel exhilarated by the sun and warmth. Isn’t it nice knowing that I’m here in Barbados? I just love it here. My body and soul are rejuvenated.” Feel the feelings of your fulfilled wish. In other words, skip to the chase. Instead of watching Act I to Act III in the play of life, go right to Act III. Imagine it is already done, and you are already there!
