Your Imagination Questions Answered #1

Welcome to Synchronicity, another solo cast. For this episode, this is another good one. They're all good at this point, but this one I'm going to be answering some of the questions that you guys have written in about and with. And I think it's helpful to talk about these publicly and bring them out. And I'm going to not include names this time, but if you do ask a question and you do want your name included, just the first name, I'm happy to do that. But for anonymity, I'm going to leave them out. Those are questions that many people will encounter along the way when they start using some of these techniques.

There's all the techniques from the voices of your friends to the imaginal scenes to the phrases. There's so many different ones to choose, but there's lots of different things that can come up, which really, again, let's be clear, it's just internal resistance, right? I mean, the whole premise here that imagination creates reality really places the responsibility on you and you alone for everything, even the external stuff that you don't think could possibly be you is then you. So you can imagine the resistance that could come up and often comes up for people when trying to really like fully live from that space.

And that's the secret, right? Living from the space, it's not thinking of it and you know, you know, you know the difference. If you've ever just known something and then it happened, that's living from the space. If you've ever really wanted something, I was talking about this with someone had a lovely weekend over at Dreamland friend, Zev has been on the show, but Zev, UI, Shane put on and help coordinate an amazing weekend over there. And I just met, I don't know, so many new numbers in the phone after this weekend end. One of the things that was coming up often was this idea of living from the state.

You want to have whether that's well or happiness or ecstasy or love or whatever it is, living from the place. And people do this whether they realize it or not. You're unconscious and subconscious states of consciousness, right? Those dictate our lives, right? This is a commonly known phenomena, you know, psychoanalysis can get to this pretty quickly. You knew this. Many people know this. If you look below the sub perceptual level, right, below our ability to perceive things with our senses, we realize there's a tremendous amount of activity going on and it really kind of dictates our life. So if we can get any insight and that's really what we're doing here, we're building a bridge between the unconscious aspects of ourselves and our conscious aspects.

And we want them to be in harmony and love each other. And that's essentially what we're doing here. But questions come up, resistance comes up. So let's deal with some of these questions. And I've already answered all of these, but I'll probably expand on my answers just because I can. I have a podcast. How about that? So the first question was from someone who was using this pretty much have bought in. I think he had seen some results but wasn't fully, you know, it wasn't, he was having difficulty expressing it to people around him and he wanted to know how to simply explain something. So his questions were, how can I demonstrate convinced people who are fatalist or negative to try this?

And so this is what I wrote back and then I'll expand on it. So don't try to convince people until you've stabilized your belief internally. Trying to convince people externally can be more difficult than imagining people intuitively getting it when you explain it to them. Finally, people like proof when external circumstances confirm to your conform to your imaginal acts, people will start to pay attention. And I think that's an important thing and one thing I want to expand upon that I talk about with people often is that 16 years ago or in 2019, if you're hearing this later, when I kind of encountered this reality, what would happen is I just had very poor ways of communicating it effectively and it wasn't the right time and I just didn't know what was going on.

And I was like, what the heck? So it ended up alienating a lot of people. But what I realized is if you have doubt yourself, right, internally, you're going to play that out through people who you know, friends, family, strangers, even, you don't have to know them. It'll be your own doubt reflected back at you through them. And what that can do is collapse you back into a state of consciousness where you're like, no, this isn't how it works. Oh, my God. It was crazy. Oh, my God. You know, just collapsing you back into the state. So that's why I would say until you really, really, really grok this concept until it's like totally like, all right, I get this shit.

Nothing's rocking me off this. Nothing's going to break in my stride, right? Until you get to that point, try to convince anyone of anything personally, I mean, it's fun to have conversations. I have a podcast so I can do it. I often, I love hearing differing perspectives and challenges to beliefs now just because why not? And I just want to be clear. Like I flip my belief easily if it makes sense. I don't have any attachment to any belief. I just, I was going to say, unfortunately, I think this imagination stuff covers pretty much everything in this world. So we'll see. Who knows? And then the second question he had was, how would you explain this to a five year old, right?

He's in the position needs to do that. And this is all I said, and I have a three year old and I would tell a three year old the same thing. I said, I tell a five year old that when they close their eyes and see and hear things and feel the feelings, if they hold on to that, it'll happen in this world. That's it. I tell a five year old, I tell anyone that because it's true. And I'm only saying it's true because it's direct experience. I don't think I would probably give a five year old, like, you know, test it yourself and see empirical proof because their ego and rational and analytical minds haven't developed to the point where they're going to like just totally resist that ad hoc.

So it's a little easier with the kitty kids. So another question. There it is. I want to be financially independent and have a stable form of income, but I don't have a specific job in quotes or career path that I envisioned pursuing other than wanting it to be fulfilling and not a nine to five punch cards sort of thing. And I'm therefore having trouble creating a picture in my mind of exactly what I want. So that was the trouble. How do I do that? And just to be clear, like, I get it. The idea of a nine to five, if it's so unsavory to you, I guarantee you will find a way not to do it. But let's say you want to find not just the way, but an actual thing, an event, it actually happened, right?

And you did it in a way that makes you happy. All right. Let's give that a qualifier. So this is what I said, I said, be more specific about having the money. The ways and means are less important. Imagine and feel how you would, if someone you know said truly that they were happy, you figured it all out and have everything you need be specific, not vague, but only in relation to the feeling of the end result. So this is really important. A lot of times people want to imagine the exact ways and means and scenario of how they're going to reach their state. Don't do that. It's so much more fun to let it unfold in miraculous and mysterious ways.

Number one, but number two, you won't be able to figure it out. If you could have figured it out, if you were going to, at this point, you would have already done it. Your conscious mind totally wants the thing you're thinking about, right? Clearly. But you're unconscious and you're subconscious, which again is you, right? Sometimes I call it God. Sometimes I don't. It's you, the sense of I am, this deep fundamental resonance with who you are as a person knows how to achieve what you want. You're a limited version of yourself and your ego might not know, I know mine didn't. So it's just something you want to be specific, but just the end result.

It's the thing you're imagining the person telling you or an image of the thing after this has already happened. Don't worry. You can perform to the event. So if you're someone is saying to you, oh my God, it's so great. This happened for you. You have all this money now. It's amazing and you're so happy too. That's what's going to happen. So there you go. Here's another question. And I only picked about five of these because there's a lot and we'll just do these in batches. Sound good? Sounds good. All right. So I have a question regarding the imagining technique you talked about lately. What if you have more desires at once, all equally important to you, but right now, I find it difficult to focus only on one.

And I've spoken about this briefly before, but here's my technique. First of all, I write all of these down when I go to sleep. So I'll shorthand, write the specific desires, and then I'll go for kind of broader states of like, I am fulfilled, I am wealthy, I am loving, I'm successful. Like those things to kind of encompass the specific items and then I'll brackets them, curly brackets, and just write the states. And so what I wrote back to her is this, when you have a lot of stuff, imagine a state of consciousness, like ecstasy or joy, those emotions will automatically encompass all the other things you want.

It makes it a lot easier and more manageable. And that's true. And it works. And it's way less stressful because it's so funny how something like imagining can actually create like stress and work for us, it's like, Oh God, I got to imagine this and that and this and this, this person, especially when you start incorporating like other people into this, right? Oh, I got to do this and that. And how many times in life do we do that, whether it's work or relationships or anything? Like, we create a situation that brings us what we want, but we also create all this scaffolding and construction around it, and we have to just deal with all of that, and we built ourselves a little gilded cage, right?

That's why I don't want to do that. I want to make this shit easy, effortless. That's what we're going for. Here's another question. And this is, I will say, I will practice this by saying this person said it's a deviation from a Neville technique, a Neville Goddard technique, but it's actually not. So I'm going to read the question, a deviation from the Neville way, but easier for me to do whenever during the day, I do this whenever, okay, this is like, I see I plucked this out of thing. Another thing is, is that I do this during the day. I don't do it when I'm going to sleep. Have you done this as well?

Also, once imagined a scenario, do you repeat the process or just let it go and move on? So let's deal with this. So what he's asking is, I do this during the day, right? I don't want to do it at night or it doesn't work at night or whatever, or I do it also at night. And that's what I do. I, your wantingness and willingness and desire to do these techniques is directly proportional to how bad you actually want this thing, truthfully, like deeply. When I started with money, when I started with things that I really knew that I needed here, I did it like six, seven times a day. Like I would, there was nothing that was, I was like, oh my God, I get it.

Like why wouldn't I be doing this? So there's nothing wrong with doing it during the day. Neville Goddard also talks about doing it in a chair, finding a comfortable chair. So you can do this whenever you want. Number one, please do find what works for you. These techniques, I'm just talking about them so you can get the gist of what this is. This is just one way to approach it. But when you find what what works for you, I mean like, just that's it. That's it. And then maybe tell some other people, maybe it'll work for them. There's so many different ways to do this stuff. And then his second part of his question was, once you imagine the scenario, do you just repeat the process, let it go and move on.

Booby. Now this is a very good question. So there's two ways to look at this. One is initially, when you're doing it, I think it's useful to keep doing the process because you may not fully believe it, right? The key is once you believe and feel this and know it and live from that place, it will happen and it'll happen rather quickly too, truthfully. The desire essentially goes away. It's still there because it hasn't materialized in this world. It hasn't unfolded in this world, but it's kind of satiated. So you'll feel very different about it, very, very different. And that is a really important thing is the feeling that we will embody in your waking life will already feel different.

So if you're there and you kind of get it, you don't have to keep doing it. However, there's not a tremendous amount of harm. There's really no harm if you just want to keep doing it because you like it or it's practice. However, if you keep doing it intensely and you just feel like it, you might be slipping into what I would refer to as willpower. And willpower is not spirit power. It's not feeling power. Willpower can actually repel at times. Not always. If used in tandem with what I'm talking about, willpower is great, but it can actually repel, easily repel what you want because like a magnet would because you want it so bad.

You want it so, so bad that your desire is kind of just like pushing it away. Think of it like if you've ever been near like an animal outside, like a wild animal, right? If you run up on that animal, that shit is gone, is bolting, like a deer or a squirrel or bunny, it's gone. But if you can get into the space where you're calm and you relax, you can probably get a lot closer to it. And if you're really ultimately calm, it may even come up to you and may be able to pet it. So that's why I say willpower is this tricky thing that we know it works. We know if we set our mind to something just by kind of this stoic, this will happen, it can.

But I think the thing we may miss is that the feeling and knowingness is actually what summons that for. So willpower is this thing we can direct towards something, but we want to be too aggressive with it, right? Don't want to scare it away. Now, listen, imagination creates reality. So if you believe willpower gets you everything you want, guess what, friend? That's true. This is just my personal take, my personal experiences. If I keep imagining something, I keep doing it, I keep doing it and keep doing it over and over again. And I kind of know it's already at the point where it's past it, it can have the opposite effect.

And then you just address it. You go, Oh, okay. I learned that now. I don't have to go after it constantly, constantly. So it's not a great answer to the question, but once you have your scenario, once you know it to be true, once you're living from it, you can let it go. You don't have to keep doing it. But if you want to for practice, because it's helpful to you and you're not going to get too attached to it in a weird way, in a way that pushes it away, there's nothing wrong with doing it. So again, it's what works for you. Me personally, I'm just, when I know it, I'll just, I might write it down at night in my shorthand, but I'm not going to actively go for that scenario as I was at the beginning once I know it's kind of going to happen.

Right. Last question. The only thing that wasn't clear to me, and this is referring to the idea that imagination proceeds reality was the danger aspect to it. Were you referring to this technique because being used by darker energy folks, it's sadly probably already is, or were you referring to something else? So I wrote back, it's not so much darker energy folks, but someone who uses it to manipulate another person or to act out in an emotionally inappropriate way. So let's talk again about the law of reversibility. And this is this idea that if you wish something for someone else, if you pray, right, imagination plus faith, if you pray for someone truly, and they're not capable of wishing that or believing that about themselves or another person, it will bounce back off them like rubber and glue, right?

Bounces back off them and hits you. So this again underscores the importance of using this lovingly, because if it bounces back off someone, but it was a loving thing that you wished for them, you're good to go. It's just going to hit you and you're going to up level and you're going to, oh my God, it's going to be amazing. So it's really important that when you're wishing for scenarios, and I've had a lot of people write in about significant others and all of these things, and man, if that's meant to be, and that's what you really want, you can get them back, you can be with them, it's not an issue, but you need to make sure that you're not infringing or impinging on people's reality, because that's you at the end of the day, and you don't want to do that to yourself.

You don't want to manipulate yourself into doing something. You want to let it naturally unfold and discover who you are, and you want to offer that to other people too. Here's the real truth. If you understand this truly, you can imagine people however you want, and they will conform to that if they're not fully aware of this operative process. It is an enchantment, it is a spell, it is magic, it is a love potion. It's all of this stuff, but I strongly, strongly caution you to bring an ethical framework. I love the golden rule and know thyself. Use that, bring an ethical framework with you, because this shit can get very weird if you're not.

If you're not being honest with yourself, if you're doing things that may be what she referred to as darker energy folks, it's just going to ultimately cause trouble for you. Let alone other people around you, it's going to not be a comfortable situation, and it's easy enough to get caught in suffering, it seems like for almost all of us without the intention of doing that, so I'm just letting you know, use this stuff lovingly, only wish wonderful things for people you know, even people you don't know and like, oh, even people you don't like it when you can get there, ah, it's good stuff, it's real good stuff.

But use it lovingly, and that just prevents you from having to worry about any of this darker energy stuff, using it inappropriately, you have all the tools, you just need to remember it, and anyone who's listening to this truthfully, at this point, in a podcast like this, I mean you're good, you're good to go, there's no issues whatsoever, you're not going to have to worry about an ethical framework, and if you do, write in, I'll answer the question, and I don't talk about it in a podcast. So that's this episode, we did a little bit of some Q&A stuff, we'll do it again soon, please, write and review the podcast, I love the reviews, I just really love them.

So that's amazing, go check out my Unpod Network in the YouTube channel, feel free to donate to my Unpod Network, and you'd think that the money would go to me, the person who created it, but honestly, I just want to pay Michael Donovan, who's been reworking the website and doing all these things for the podcasters, and really like, it's kind of like being a commissioner of a fantasy football league, which I have been for many, many years, it's a thankless job, right, but it's doing something that helps a lot of other people. So if you want to donate, don't donate to me, donate to my Unpod Network, I will send the money to Michael and other helpful, or helper people who do this stuff for us, so do that.

But write and review the podcast, that's for me, all right, can I do that, thank you. That's it, I'll have another episode, we've got some cool stuff lined up, let's see how it unfolds, huh, all right, that's it, bye bye. (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
