In Japanese corporate culture, there is such a thing as kai-zen, which means, roughly, “continuous improvement.” We tend to underestimate how powerful small changes can be and the effects they have on the collective consciousness. Each change, however little or trivial at face value, compounds over time to produce great overall shifts in life. In order to make great changes in life, make them immediately. Incremental changes, in tandem with a change in imaginal activity and self-talk, will inevitably lead to greater results in your external world. It all happens now. If you’re going to tackle a project or something you’ve been thinking about, do it immediately. Do not wait for doubt or fear to set it and shift your thinking. The mind can be helpful, but for most people it is a great harm because it allows them to live in their thoughts, rather than live in reality.
Never live your life hoping for the future. Get rid of the idea of “future.” It is okay to use it for practical purposes, like planning your goals and organizing your life, but not for psychological comfort or security. The only security is in the present moment. You already have all of the security that you could ever want inside your own being. The future will also not provide you the fulfillment of self that you think it will.
If you’re not doing it now, whatever it is, you probably won’t do it in the future. If you’re not rich now, you won’t be later. If you’re not successful now, you’ll continue to be met with failure in the years to come. That’s pretty devastating to hear! You may ask: “Then should I just give up? Is there nothing I can do?” To that, I reply: “Wrong! There’s plenty you can do to obtain your desires.” If your reality is reflecting to you a state of poverty, loneliness or ill health, then you must break the mind out of believing in that reality and make it believe your imaginal activity instead.
You must appropriate the state you wish to experience in the future as a fact in the immediate present, here and now. Imagine it real. By doing this, you’ll be able to manifest more of it in the future. If you feel yourself to be wealthy and think it, wealth comes. If you feel life is a struggle (even though it fundamentally is), you attract more of it. Whatever and whoever you feel yourself to be, is who other people will see you as. Nobody has free will on this planet. You can’t blame other people for how they respond to you. They are mirroring back your very own insecurities, fears and desires. All of this is played out within the subconscious. We don’t know why we act the way we do in front of some people, and say things totally out of character with others. We, by no will of our own, are being driven to do and say things that are a vibrational match to the energy that is being emitted from the other person.
We are convinced that we need others (the world) to validate certain things within us. We may feel wanting for love or fame or support. Paradoxically, if we feel that way, we get back a lack of these things. But if we feel that we already have love, support and admiration, we receive it from the world. It’s the peak of irony. The entire vast world is a slave to your inner conversations. You are God, just like those around you. Everyone you will ever lay eyes on is acting on que with the script that you’ve written for them. Rewrite the script and they will change their behavior. God is none other than the presence of being within you and all life. One can manifest anything. Nothing is impossible for the Godhead. It doesn’t matter if you’re a good or evil person. God is no respecter of persons.
The law works for you just as it does for anyone else. The power of manifestation was effective with both Ghandi and Hitler, a murderer or a saint. The quality of your character has no influence on this great power. So, if you feel you don’t deserve something, get rid of that belief. There is no deserving or undeserving person; the whole creation is God incarnate. Start putting your mind on what you desire, rather than what you wish to avoid.
This can be difficult because we are rarely in control of our mind. You should work on Muladhara chakra, the root or base chakra that is located at the perineum. This will help to ground you and calm your mind down. The more solid and stable you are, the easier it will be for your mind to create well-formed imaginal scenes or (if you aren’t capable of making mental images) hear fuller sounds of people telling you things that you want to hear.
