Visualization - What is It? How does it work?

What is visualization, and what happens, when one does visualize?

True visualization is God's attribute of the Power of Sight, acting in the mind of man. When one consciously pictures in his mind a desire he wishes fulfilled, he is using one of the most powerful means of bringing it into his visible, tangible experience . There is much confusion and uncertainty in the minds of many, concerning what actually happens, when one visualizes or makes a mental picture of something he desires.

No form ever came into existence anywhere in the universe, unless some one had consciously held picture of the form in his thought, for every thought contains a picture of the idea within it. I will give you an exercise by which one may develop, consciously control, and direct his visualizing activities for definite accomplishment. There are several steps to the process, which every student can use at any and all times.

The practice does bring visible, tangle results, when really applied. The first step is to determine upon a definite plan or desire to be fulfilled. I this, see that it is constructive, honorable, and worthy of your time and effort. Be sure to examine your motive for bringing such a creation into expression. It must be honest, both toward yourself and the rest of the world, not merely to follow a whim or gratify appetites of the physical senses. Remember that there is a vast difference between use, desire and appetite.

USE is the fulfilling of the Great Universal Law of Service.

DESIRE is the expanding activity of God through which manifestation is constantly sustained and is Perfection enlarging itself.

APPETITE is but habit established by the continued gratification of the feeling nature, and is but energy, focused and qualified by suggestions from the outer activity of life. Be very sure that there is no lurking feeling within, that you would be glad to benefit at the expense of another. A real student, and only such a one will get the benefit out of this kind of training, takes the reins into his own hands an determines to disciple and consciously control the human self. The second step is to state your plan in words as concisely and clearly as possible. Write this down.

Thus, you make a record of your desire in the outer, visible, tangible world. The third step is to close the eyes and SEE within your mind a mental picture of your desire or plan in its finished, perfect condition and activity. Contemplate the fact that your ability to create and see a picture within your own consciousness is God's attribute of sight, acting in you. The activity of seeing and the power to create are attributes of your God self, which you know and feel is within you at all times.

God's Life and Power are acting within your consciousness to propel into your outer world, the picture you are SEEING and FEELING within yourself. Keep reminding the intellect that the ability to picture is an attribute of God - the attribute of sight. The power to feel, experience, and associate with the perfected picture is God's power. The substance used in the world without, to make the form in your picture and plan, is God's pure substance.

Then you must KNOW, God is the Doer, the Doing, and the Deed of every constructive form and action that ever has been sent forth into the world of manifestation. When you thus use all the constructive processes, it is impossible for your plan not to come into your visible world. Read your desire or plan over, as many times in the day as possible and always just before retiring, because on going to sleep, immediately after contemplating the picture in your own mind a full impression is left upon the human consciousness undisturbed for a number of hours enabling it to be recorded deeply in he outer activity, and allowing the force to be generated and accumulated, which propels it into the outer experience Life.

In this way, you can carry any desire or picture into your consciousness, as it enters the Great Silence in sleep. There it becomes charge by God's Greatest Power and Activity, which is always within the Heart of the Great Silence. Cast out of mind then, all doubt or fear of the fulfillment of that which you are picturing. Should any such thoughts or feelings - which are after all but human emanations - that do not contain perfection, come to your consciousness, instantly replace them by the full acknowledgment of your Self and world as the Life of God - the One.

Further than that, be completely unconcerned about it, except during the time you are visualizing. Have no set time in our mind for results, except to know there is only NO, just the immediate moment. You are God-intelligence directing. You are God-Power propelling. It is God's - Your Substance, being acted upon. As you realize this and contemplate the fullness of it often, everything in the Universe rushes to fulfill your desire, your command, and your picture for it is all constructive, and therefore agrees with the Original Divine Plan for Self-conscious Life.

If the human side of us really agrees to the Divine Plan and accepts it, there can be no such thing as delay or failure for all energy has the inherent quality of Perfection within it, and rushes to serve its Creator. Just preceding each of these Great Outpourings, extraordinary physical disturbances occur, and the general unrest is felt throughout by the people. Such disturbance is due to the discord that has accumulated during the last of the preceding period. It is to cleanse this, and bring humanity back to the Original Purity of Life that cataclysmic action takes place. It is following these periods, the Humaras release an enormous outpouring of Light to illumine and strength's earth's children. We are approaching another such period, and this time the release of the Great Cosmic Love, Wisdom, and Energy, the Mighty Rays of Light, will not only quicken the mind of the race but the atomic structure of earth as well, making it more "Luminous" in our solar system.

Never, since these Great Lords of the Flame came to earth, have conditions permitted such a Great Outpouring to take place as will occur ere long. Many, who have seemed to become hardened by their former activities, will awaken, as it were almost overnight, and feel the Nearness of the Great God presence within each heart. Many, who have been meek and humble but holding close to the 'Inner Presence' will suddenly blaze forth, amazing themselves as well as others - by the Transcendent Light, they will manifest.

All will be done by the Power of God-Love, and humanity will truly begin to realize that it is the height of folly for one part of God's Creation to war against another part. During the present activity of assistance and intense of outpouring of 'Light" by the Great Ascended Host, who assist the children of earth, hundreds of humanity will find the present physical bodies being quickened by the rapid raising of the vibratory rate and, as this is complete, will realize that human, physical limitation and discord have dropped away like an old worm-out garment; and that they, the Children of Light, stand forever at one withheld 'Flame of Life-Everlasting" and the 'perfection of Eternal Youth and Beauty' a visible, tangible reality.
