Awakened Imagination and what they don´t tell you about the Art of Manifesting.

It has been a popular topic in alternative circles, with constant references to manifesting your own reality, people think it is a new concept, and they often think about the book and film ´´The Secret´´. I haven't ever read the book or seen the documentary film, but I do know that the idea was originally inspired by the very first person to speak and write about manifesting with the Awakened Imagination and his work is often hijacked by self made gurus and life coaches, but he is never given the original credit and that is Neville Goddard. Neville was originally from Barbados and he travelled to America and lived in New York, he was one of the first initial touring speakers on Manifesting and Consciousness, he toured the US to give lectures on the topic as early as the 1940s. He decoded the Bible and said it was actually an early manuscript attempting to educate us on human consciousness and the power of the Imagination. Neville said that Jesus was born from an Immaculate conception, the conception being the manifestation into reality from the Power of Imagination, which was the title of one of his first and most popular books. (Listen to my podcast above on Neville's work and Awakened Imagination, it was created and recorded on my boat in 2014 with electricity powered by the Sun´s, solar energy).

I started reading his books years ago, when I realized that the Universe was mirroring back my state of mind, which was why I needed to work harder on myself and clear out the junk in my attic as the Universe tends to mirror back your subconscious and that which you are not aware of in your conscious mind (including the pain and negative belief systems about ourselves), it is why we see patterns repeat themselves in life, until we resolve inner issues and heal and move forward, sometimes we can find ourselves trapped in cycles of negativity and despite attempts to be positive, negative things still happen. That is when we need to see that we are being told to become more self aware and more inner work, or house cleaning needs to be done. Read my previous article on Converse with the Universe

We have become so entrapped and distracted by the world around us, in this collective reality, that we have no idea how powerful each of us really are, until we start going deeper within. It is usually traumatic experiences, death, loss, crisis that trigger these deeper questions.

It is at these times we can be brutally honest with ourselves as we are forced to and have no choice. The thing that really used to annoy me about people who talk about being successful at manifesting the life they want, they are usually people who have already established stability and security in other ways. Its not these people I pay attention to, its those that have somehow survived extreme situations and then arrived to a place that they want to be that I pay attention to, their life stories are far more interesting to me. Personally, my experiences have been like this, I have learned while living on the edge and in the face of adversity, with my work over the years has mostly been advocacy and environmental work is so poorly paid and therefore comes with a lack of stability and lots of challenges, so I was always stressed when it came to finances and income.

I had to use the power of imagination to keep a roof over my head and food in my stomach at the most adverse times in my life, it is situations like these that really are the testimonial circumstances that have proven, that yes, we can manifest what we need, to a degree, as what many largely fail to acknowledge is, that its mainly Westerners born in the first world, who talk about the power of manifestation, which is a luxury to even contemplate for more than half the world's human population, when there are people born in third world countries fighting for survival, they are robbed of the privileged to even have time to consider or experiment with this when their prerogative is food and clean water, day to day.

It is a luxury to be able to experiment with this, this is why its important to also practice gratitude. What many speakers on this topic fail to explain is that it has to be with the use of our imagination and charged with emotion, human emotion is an extremely powerful and energetic force the alchemy aspect or conception/fertilization process that brings what we would like our lives to be like into full reality.

We are not all victims of circumstances as many authorities will have us believe, we live in a world full of smoke and mirrors and most of what we believe is an illusion, much of what we believe has been engineered and put into place by those keeping themselves in power and orchestrating world events in order to do so. We can break free of any concept of outer control limits as soon as we realize these are all illusions, much like the Wizard behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz.

Good luck or good fortune ?

Everything we experience is a result of every single thought and feeling we are experiencing, even the thoughts and emotions we have hidden from our conscious minds, all emit an energetic frequency that we send out into the world around us, the reason why things appear as good fortune, is when we are manifesting and this creates a synchronicity in our lives.

As in universal nature, it is the phenomenon of life´s lens of consciousness, mirroring that energy frequency we are emitting and manifesting into reality back at us. Once we realize this and begin to do the inner work to get in touch and heal the deeper aspects of ourselves that we may have previously hidden or buried because it was too painful to deal with, then we can become masters of our imagination and quiet the mind chatter, we begin to experience more harmony of our outer reality with realizing our inner dreams to a level that transforms our lives, once we awaken to the magic in our imaginations. However, people do need to be careful with this, as it takes a lot of practice and real inner work, its hard work to face your inner garbage and wounds, it takes courage and having to revisit painful memories to process them and let them go so that they stop us repeating unwanted patterns and behaviour and instead create new experiences.

''There's nothing to change but our concept of self. Humanity is a single being, despite its many forms and faces, and there is in it only such seeming separation, as we find in our own being when we are dreaming. The pictures and circumstances we see in dreams are creations of our own imagination and have no existence save in ourselves. The same is true of the pictures and circumstances we see in the circumstances of this dream of life. They reveal our concepts of ourselves. As soon as we succeed in transforming self, our world will dissolve and reshape itself, with that which our change affirms. The universe that we study with such great care is a dream, and we the dreamers of the dream, eternal dreamers, dreaming non eternal dreams. One day, like Nebuchadnezzar, we shall awaken from the dream, from the nightmare in which we fought with demons, to find that we never really left our eternal home, that we were never born and never died, save in our dream''- Neville Goddard.
