Using Our Imagination to "Act as If"

A way to manifest or create what we want is to act as if we already have it or act as if the situation already occurred. Our imagination is the most powerful tool we have.

Just as an example, let’s say you have your eye out on the latest BMW model but it seems unlikely since your earnings are spent each month on bills and mortgage. Rather than focus on how the car is too expensive and how many payments it would take before you can own it, just focus on it already being yours. Forget about the cost. Mentally visualize yourself driving your Beamer down the road on your way to work or elsewhere. Feel what it’s like behind the wheel. Picture your friends in the car with you. Hear other people admiring your new car. Breathe in the new car smells. See the car parked in your driveway.

You can make it more real by going to a BMW dealership to look at the cars. You are not there to buy one (although you can pretend that you are), just to enhance your visualization. Take in every detail visually and by touch. Touching it adds to your cellular memory. Use all of your senses. Test drive one in your favorite color and model.

What happens in this example is that the BMW begins to actually take shape in the invisible realms, the causal plane. It doesn’t take long for this to happen. Then by deliberately focusing on it being yours each day for a few minutes (as in the earlier Seth exercise), adding your feelings to it and letting go of how it will happen, this car will appear physically in your life as yours one way or another. It can come to you as a gift, a prize or an inheritance. Or perhaps you will receive the money to purchase one.

If you are doubtful, just look around at the things you have in your life. They came into your life the same way -- you may not have been aware of the actual process.
