A Great Analogy for the Imaging Process

I’ve said in one of my previous talks why it’s so important for an image to be concentrated upon until it becomes a concept in your subconscious mind. For those that haven’t seen my previous talk, I basically state that over 90% of what you do is subconscious. You drive to work the same way every day, brush your teeth the same way every day, put your pants on the same way every day, etc. So it’s important to impregnate your subconscious mind with ideas you would like to see manifested in your life.

To impregnate your subconscious with a new idea, you simply form an image of what you would like, and then center your thoughts on this idea until it becomes a concept in your subconscious. For instance, let’s say you would like to take a new vacation. You would first have the idea of taking a new vacation. You would then center your thoughts on this new idea such as where you will be going, when you will be going, how long you will go for and so on. After concentrating on this idea for some time, it will become engrained in your subconscious and your subconscious will go to work manifesting it in your life to the degree that you believe it is possible (this will be explained in more detail in a moment).

After a new idea is implanted in your subconscious, it will go to work creating it for you. This whole process is analogous to planting seed in soil. You take seed and plant it in soil that you know is fertile and will produce good crop. After the seed is planted you make sure to water it and that it gets enough sunlight. You might even spread fertilizer on your soil so that your seed gets all the nutrition it needs to grow properly.

In the case of the imaging process, your seeds are the ideas you are working with and your soil is the fertility of your mind. If your mind has been fed nurturing positive thoughts and images, it will manifest much more easily good healthy ideas when being given them. The thoughts you think about your idea; whether you think it is possible, if you are looking forward to it, being grateful for it, etc… are the water and sunlight for your seed. The feelings you feel about your idea; if you’re grateful for it, expectant, happy, joyful, and so on are the fertilizer for your idea/seed and will have it manifest much more quickly.

If you have the right seed, good soil, and the right nutrients (water, sunlight, and fertilizer), you’re going to produce a good crop. Likewise if you have the right ideas, a good mind, healthy thoughts, and good feelings, you’re going to produce a good manifestation.

So let’s try an example of this.

Let’s say you would like to create more wealth in your life. The idea of “More Wealth” would be your seed. The soil would be how receptive your mind is to this idea. Your thoughts would be the sunlight and water necessary for your seed to grow during the manifestation process. Thoughts such as “I believe this is possible”, “I am creating more wealth”, “I am grateful for all the wealth I am creating” and so on have a positive and nurturing effect on your idea/seed. The feelings you feel such as being grateful for this new manifestation, being grateful for what you currently have, and any other positive feelings would be the fertilizer for this idea. After some time, you will produce a crop according to your belief in the idea. I say according to your belief, because if you believe in an idea, you will think positively about it, look forward to it expectantly, and feel good about it. All of the ingredients necessary for it to grow and bloom beautifully will be there for it.

So plant beautiful ideas in your mind. Nurture them with love and care (positive thoughts). Fertilize them with good feelings. And be grateful for the amazing crop you are going to reap.
