Before you grew up, before they started telling you that you need to stop pretending and dreaming and that your dreaming is not reality you were a powerful manifesters. When you were young, before you started school, you lived in your imagination, pretended, and dreamed. You were great things in your imagination; a bird soaring over mountains and dipping down through waterfalls, a caped crusader preforming great feats, an astronaut exploring the universe, a sailor sailing to unknown islands full of wonder, and you were who you really are; a Demi-God who conjured up, in your mind, visualized, a world of wonder and possibilities. It's not a wonder that children frustrate adults, who have terminated their child like imagination, because instead of listening to their words of insistence to accept the cold hard "reality" of responsibility the children are busy in their minds visualizing their desired life experience. If children were left to their natural understanding of manifesting and of visualizing, where they do not believe in limitation, they would grow up to manifest an unlimited life experience. They would not accept the limited mass social belief that life is hard work, that reality is static, and they can only have so much.
As a child I was always dreaming. I was in my mind visualizing and creating amazing things. I played in the universe with my ideas ever expanding my sights and believing in the infinite possibilities. And I was constantly told to get my head out of the clouds, pay attention and stop dreaming. I was told that being an artist wasn't a real job and that I should buckle down in school, pay attention and earn credentials that would surely bring me a life of mediocrity, but assured security.
Many adults have had their imaginations squashed and therefore, having yet to learn that their imagination is vital and the key to manifesting their desired life experience, continue to squash the children's imaginations.
Our work, as adults who have had our imagination squelched, is to rekindle our dream life our imaginations. It times to go back and remember our dream life, remember how we believed in the infinite possibilities and pretend again. Pretend our desired life experience is already real until it becomes real. It is time to get lost, like we did as children, in our imagination.
Remember, before you were made to believe in self shame and limitation, when you didn't believe in a static reality, remember the richness of a magical journey in your mind where you soared without limits. Remember when you were able to see, visualize, in your mind yourself as who you really were.
I remembered being puzzled when adults would tell me what I was imagining wasn't real. I would be so deep in my dream and the adults would snap me out of it and tell me to accept reality. They would tell me that this they are presenting was reality and I should accept it. I remember standing there, still a little bit in my dream, and look at them thinking they were what wasn't real.
We have become so convinced that our reality is static and that there is nothing we can do to change it. However, what we don't realize is that the reality we are living was manifested or created out of our thoughts our beliefs of the past. Therefore we are able to manifest a more desired reality.
I remember, before I ever left the country eight years ago, having such a limited view of the possibilities. I never realized how infinite this world was or how infinite the possibilities were. I remember saying over and over that I wanted to go far away from the uncomfortable reality, of my family. I never said exactly how, I never even thought of the possibilities of just how I could manage this but I kept wishing to be far away. And low and behold a situation, without me every having to come up with the money, presented itself and I found myself traveling the world, far away from the old reality, and exploring the infinite world of possibilities.
Now, I know that the world is my oyster and I can manifest the desired reality I prefer. All I have to say, all you have to say is, "I want, I want, I want............" and never follow it by, "but...." A butt is just a fire that was squelched out.
Draw up and dream the desired reality you wish and say, "I want..........." over and over and then say, "Everything I want is on it's way"

Dear Michelle,
ReplyDeleteAwe, yes, I remember so well, my dream as a child. It was real to me, my name instead of Edith Head, under 'costume designer', on the list of movie credits. There was no doubt in my mind that this was to be my life.
Until I reached the moment that I chose the design college I intended to attend. It was the moment that changed my life forever, because my parents emphatically told me I was going to a business college. I was 17 going on 18 and I still was under their wings with a lack of my own independence and money.
I had the courage to tell them I would not attend college. Instead I chose to work at a job and eventually to marry and have children. I gave up my dream.
Dear JoAnna,
ReplyDeleteRekindle the dream! The possibilities are endless, you could even end up writing about design.
And I wanted to say, it's OK to take the job to bring in the cash while you work on your dream. Just focus on the positive aspects of the job your doing and in your free time work on raising your vibration towards the freedom and independence you desire.
Be Well
Love Michelle
