Introduction

The Creative Visualization method is an intent-based manifestation method for 

the creation of desirable realities. This tutorial will cover theoretical information

and practical information. The theoretical information is quite useful in success

with the practice.

The act of visualization is a powerful technique, "seeing" and "perception" both

create a magnetic and energetic attraction. This process binds how the realities

around a person are created. You see in the mind and create a force as effective

as regular sight. The one difference is that mind-sight can be powered using

consciousness. Your unconscious mind is just as impressionable to what you see

as to what you see with your eyes. Until harvested and regulated most

 perception is ruled in the mind with automated processes and this relates back to

the person and how she or he lives and engages with their world.

Imagination has a direct link to "inner knowing", intuition, and visualization, as

well as other elements that can be utilized. To achieve results with visualization

8/3/2019 Creative42008[1]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creative420081 7/21

consistent practice is required -- the same visualization for 5 minutes, for 3

weeks each evening is often enough to achieve to turn the visualization into a

manifestation.

What can I expect to achieve? 

• Overcome perceptions of limitation, including the fear of public

speaking.

• Achieve results with more success and effectiveness.

• Explore Your Self Image and how to enforce an ideal self image in

different situations.

• Use the unlimited power of the imagination to bring expanded awareness

into Your Present Life: If you can imagine it - It can be real Here and

 Now.

The Act of Imagination is Creative in Nature: To imagine something is to start a

 process of creating that imagined thing into a real thing.

The source of all actualization is Vision: "'Creative Imagination' is not

something reserved for the poets, the philosophers, the inventors. It enters into

our every act. For imagination sets the goal 'picture' which our automatic

8/3/2019 Creative42008[1]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creative420081 8/21

mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of 'will,' as so

commonly believed, but because of imagination"

-- Maxwell Maltz, M.D., Psycho-Cybernetics (1960)

The image or vision contains in itself ultimate potential for actualization. This is

due to the fact that images contain results that transcend other elements (such as

emotional or sub-conscious tie-ins). It is important to understand that how we

see ourselves is how we often are. Creative Visualization is the ultimate power 

to build reality as we see fit.

How it Works

Imagination is often undermined and related to something unreal. However 

looking outside of the box we can conclude that imagination is a dimension of 

consciousness. People can experience particular real physical, mental and

emotional sensations based on imagined thoughts. It is possible to observe, for 

example, how at a movie theatre the audience can mimic the emotions through

engagement in the film being shown.

To grasp visualization better in terms of Astral Projection consider that in an

astral projection the environment or 'scope' is much larger than the physical.

Scholars of philosophy, especially of Plato's ideas often label this massive world

of infinite astral potential as "Being". However what we perceive now in our 

world is the "Essence". To understand this idea propose that a thing that is

(being) does not necessitate for that same thing to have essence. For example, a

Skyscraper was in Leonardo Da Vinci's mind but it did not exist 'in essence' in

that historical period -- it was just an element of imagination. Later it came to

exist. This concept alone is a core foundation of the creative visualization

method.

The idea of 'I am a successful business person' makes one into that person in

one frame of mind. But one might have the idea of 'I am a bad cook' and this

also makes that person into that thought in that mindframe. There are thousands

of such mindframes existing based on thoughts. However the one focused on

most gains most energy and what gains most energy astrally (in imagination)

 becomes physical (in essence).

Thoughts exist first in the higher levels of consciousness (from a hierarchical

understanding) and then propagate down as in the lower levels of Essence

(physical reality).

If I imagine myself in an ideal state it will happen in a second in one mind state,

  but for it to become true in physical reality it takes much longer than a few

seconds. There are thousands of versions of 'You', thousands of different

mindstates - and thus the process will take forever unless the user of this

technique concentrates on making the one ideal or preferred self become true.

How to Practice

To be successful two things are required. First, it is crucial to believe in total

that the visualized outcome is possible and will happen, and second,

concentration and persistence as well as self-discipline is applied.

There is an attraction at theme parks and arcades that that is often set up as a

game which requires a person to throw a small plastic ball into an opening from

a distance (sometimes these are moving clowns or a hole in the wall). If the ball

lands into the hole a certain number of times without missing the game is won.

Intuitive visualization can be applied to all practical exercises, but for now let's

select this as a sample simulation. Let's look at the workings of the process,

there is a goal, an actor and the action. The subconscious mind knows how to

accomplish each action with perfection, all one has to do is to tell the conscious

mind with a visual what the goal is. Oftentimes I have used this method such

spinning an iPod wheel without conscious focus but having a conscious image

of the song I wanted it to land on -- this results in quite an unexpected success.

There is no problem duplicating it for other actions too, such as golf, or even

 being in a particular desired situation or emotional state.

Visualization consists of believing and imagining, not thinking. Components

such as emotion and doubt are excluded from the process -- what is important is

the image itself. Concentration and focus on the visual itself are important. The

method requires being alert and present in the present moment. Concentrate on

the action, then visualize the desired outcome without thinking, and then do the

action. With practice the results will begin to be more and more effective.

When we visualize we are effectively pre-constructing the event which will take

 place. But this is not done in the brain -- we do not think about it. The event just

needs to be pre-constructed as though one is actually doing it (i.e. seeing it

happen in front of you).

Use supporting belief for the visualization, not belief that goes against the

image. Opposing belief is the limiting factor in all visualization exercises. If one

 believes he or she cannot do something it might not be as effective to visualize

doing it. To visualize shooting a target with a bow for example, and then think 

"It is too far, I will never be able to hit it" is counterproductive. However by

suspending thought in the moment after visualization and just taking action it is

 possible to achieve anything that can be visualized.

Practice Scenarios

Although the following scenarios are here to help in particular instances, the

Creative Visualization method is as complex as the power of Imagination and

can be used for anything.

These scenarios will demonstrate sample methods to implement this technique.

Scenario: Public Speaking 

Mike is a 14 year old high school student who avoids oral presentations at

school. He takes sick days to delay the oral assessments and when finally forced

to complete them receives a low score. During the presentation he reads from a

sheet which gives him the security of not having to look up at the audience, he

feels nervous and talks fast to complete the speech as quickly as possible, and

he mispronounces many words by going too fast. Mike's goal with Creative

Visualization is to improve his public speaking. Two weeks before his next oral

assessment he begins using the technique. He closes his eyes every evening and

imagines himself presenting his speech.

8/3/2019 Creative42008[1]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creative420081 14/21

The visualization contains as many elements as possible, from entering the

classroom to concluding the speech. The entire visualization is not less than 10

minutes in time. As much detail as possible is used to simulate all of the

elements in the imagination, the class, the teacher and other variables. During

the process Mike sees himself performing the speech in his ideal way.

For this process the ideal method is to change what he currently perceives as

negative: his enthusiasm, lack of eye contact, and pace, all of which impede on

his final grade. He changes this in his visualization by imagining the teacher 

very pleased with his presentation and thinking of it with high regard this is

visualized throughout the entire presentation. Other elements such as classmates

 being impressed with the presentation can also be included.

The key is to use detail and depth with the visualization and to give people a

reason as to why they should find the presentation excellent. Quite frankly this

visualization itself is what will end up making Mike's presentation good, the

reason is that it forms the initial belief that it is good before he has even started

creating it, thus the creation is a pre-guaranteed success.

  Next he moves on to improving his own self-image based on turning the

negative aspects listed above into positives. He pictures himself reading the

speech out successfully without the need to reference a sheet of paper or notes

8/3/2019 Creative42008[1]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creative420081 15/21

and views this process as happening easily, effortlessly and enjoyably for him.

He pictures his pace as regular because the speech is going well and he can

 present it at his own comfort level.

After a few days of practicing he begins to feel good about the entire idea of 

 performing the speech since he has already done it so well in his mind several

times. Upon the time of the speech his new Astral Self which has done that

speech many times in training before has no problem with the actual speech and

it Mike is able to do it surprisingly easily.

Problem Solving

Pre-define a goal before starting anything, as in previous example.

Defining (X) as good before even starting (X) ensures that X will be good...

Example goals:

• I will make x$ by next month

• I will complete x project by next month

• The results for all my examinations will be x

• I will make progress in x

In creative visualization we are dealing with a vision that represents an astral

construct. The vision attracts more energy the longer it is in existence and is

focused upon using these consistent creative visualization to make it happen.

The first procedure in problem solving using this method is to define problems

we wish to solve now rather than having perception that the problem is in the

future so we can deal with it when that time comes.

8/3/2019 Creative42008[1]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creative420081 17/21

Example: Lisa wants to receive an A for all of her school subjects. She

 practices creative visualization each evening imagining her report full of As, she

imagines her teachers and her parents pleased with her and she pictures herself 

doing what she believes is necessary to achieve the result.

Example: Benjamin has an upcoming marathon that he wants to complete

successfully. He trains in his mind using creative visualization before setting a

foot on the track. He includes all of the elements in his visualization to make it

more detailed and he pictures his ideal outcome: winning.

Example: Jo wants her new music album to sell successfully. She practices

creative visualization a month prior to the release and pictures doing a lot of 

interviews, having positive feedback from people and the album scoring high on

music charts.

True Creative Power

The idea is to always have a vision of the ideal state of yourself in any given

scenario. Long-term change is made up of smaller building blocks. Astral

images already exist from childhood that have 20 or more years of energy

 behind them. 'I am a bad writer' or 'I'm good at music but I can't do maths' are

8/3/2019 Creative42008[1]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creative420081 18/21

two examples of astral images that can exist with a lot of power behind them.

With the act of conscious creative visualization we are not focusing on any

negative images at all, we are just creating new positive images of our ideal

states. The process might take a while for the change to occur. But the aim is

not to focus on the change occurring, but to re-assure yourself that the change

has happened already. For every second you imagine it happening it comes

closer into actualization. Large blocks to potential might exist from the past, but

never allow anyone to tell you that you are just not creative, or do not have it in

you. Each individual has an innate inner power to be creative and to change

their circumstances using that creative power.

Personal Simulation Temples

This technique will teach you how to make your own training space. You can

later use this method as a launching ground for all future creative visualizations.

We mentioned earlier that conscious visualization builds a lot of energy into the

visualized event, if you now use this method it will increase the amount of 

energy the visualized image receives.

Begin by relaxing as you would prior to going to sleep, but do not fall asleep.

After 10-15 minutes of relaxing and letting your body and mind unwind begin

creative visualization picturing an environment that you feel safe, comfortable

and happy in.

Your visualization can be a beach, a valley in the mountains, or any other space

that you feel at home at.

8/3/2019 Creative42008[1]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creative420081 20/21

Imagine the environment with a lot of depth, as though you are actually in that

 place right now. Focusing your senses on the sights, smells, sounds and feelings

of that location will help saturate your consciousness into that place.

After 5-10 minutes (take longer if you need) of familiarizing yourself with the

environment and making yourself at home picture a button similar to a

computer [Save] button which is clicked when saving a document. Once you

click the button you will save this astral space. You may also imagine a security

lock that only you can open to enter the space. From now on anything you do in

the space will be saved when you return there, however you can delete and

change the space as you see fit.

In your astral space you can build your own ideal version of yourself or add

anything else you would like to create in your current reality. You can even

create addition doorways in your astral space that lead to your current life and

future life. For your current life you can have a visualization saved as your 

current home, family and lifestyle. However you will visualize these as ideal,

not as they are. The more time you spend in your astral space the more it will

affect your overall reality.

I hope this tutorial was helpful. Practising simulation scenarios with a strong

amount of visual depth will help to match their actual outcome when it comes to

 putting preparation into practice.
