Whichever
feeling we focus upon, mentally gets recreated in our lives through a physical
channel, over a period of time.
Hence,
we need to make a choice of what we focus on. When we focus on experiences
which generate positive feelings,we help to mobilize energies of happiness in
our future; and when we focus on negative feelings, we create more unhappiness
in our lives in the future.
However,
if we perceive reality as negative, it is difficult to focus on positive
feelings. When we have a previously established negative dominant focus,we
automatically get pulled into focusing on the negative aspects of reality.
Our
existing energy circuits pull us into feeling negative, and force us to accept
energies which reinforce feeling negative. This causes us to get into the
clutches of the vicious circle of negativity.
If
our reality is negative in the present, it is because we have been focusing on
the negative in the past. If we continue to focus on what we don’t have, we
would be led to feeling even more deprived, as time passes by.
Our
efforts externally may lead us to feeling successful in work, but that would not
help us in feeling loved or content or happy. Just material success would not
help in soul evolution, as the difference between animal consciousness and
human consciousness is that human beings need more than food, sex and shelter
to be happy.
Emotional
success which leads to soul evolutionraises our internal energy frequency to
more positive. Feeling positive from within entails sexual satisfaction with
feeling loved, being fulfilled internally by the work we do, externally by
expressing unique talents of the soul, eating food which makes us feel more
healthy than sick, finding entertainment which soothes the mind rather than
make us focus more on our problems and being able to get out of negative cycles,
by recognizing that the mind has to rule over matter, instead of being like
animals.
Yet, our perception of reality may not change overnight as it is dependent on
several factors such as past
experiences, beliefs, attitudes,
environment, financial situation, one’s existing relationships in life etc.
However, due to the law
of creation, to create a positive reality for ourselves in the future, it is
not necessary that we perceive our reality as positive in the present.
Imagination is as effective a tool for focusing energies for the purposes of
creation.
Positive
feelings experienced during imagination are as instrumental for mobilizing
energies, as positive feelings experienced during a real experience are. This
happens because the soul perceives the external world only through feeling it.As
long as an experience feels real in imagination, the soul takes it to be
reality, and mobilizes energy to recreate it.
However, there are some
basic rules to visualization which we follow intrinsically, when we worry about
our future. The same rules need to be followed when we want to use our mind to
create a happy future, through imagining that it exists in the present.
An imagination mobilizes
energies to create reality only when it is as accompanied by acute sensory
experiences, i.e. when all the sense organs are as much involved in the
imagined experience as they are in the real experience.
The picture
imagined creates real feelings which mobilize energy when it is bright and
clear, feels as if it is moving, creates the same sensations in the body as if
it were happening now and when we feel we are as much in it as we would be in
the real experience. Such an imagination is also referred to as positive
visualization, since it is a deliberate attempt to create a positive reality. .
But
since, imagination, in layman terms, is often wrongly defined as an unreal
experience, a fantasy or a play activity for the mind, it is not used
deliberately by most human beings to change their reality.
If
we do not use our mind to focus on positive feelings in imagination as a
deliberate mind control exercise, the mind automatically drifts to imagining
negative experiences or worrying about negative possibilities in the future.
An
imagination which is not created deliberately to create the positive is
automatically negatively created, as in feelings entailing dissatisfaction,
exhaustion, boredom, emptiness or loneliness.
The
reality which gets created in our future is a result of our focus than the
events happening in the external world. The physical events happening
externally do not create reality. How we focus on the external events in our
mind, and whether we can stay positive or negative through the changes in the
external world, determines whether we would feel good or bad, in our future.
