GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Our future, whether it be personal or global, will be the result of our attitudes and the expectations we have today. The future will be the result of our poor expectations or it will be the result of our great expectations. The world problems that we are experiencing today are not the cause of negative attitudes but the result of past negative attitudes.

Imagination, reinforced by our expectations can bring into being almost any reality provided it fits within our range of probabilities. If we use our imagination to attempt to bring about an event that, in our hearts, we believe to be impossible, that event will not occur in our experience. In other realities, outside the framework of our own experiences, such 'impossibilities' occur.

We attract in our space-time continuum - the physical world - only that which fits in with our beliefs. If we want to change the world we live in then we must first change our beliefs. Using the imagination in meditation through creative visualisation is an excellent way of bring about change.

We seed the future with our thoughts and feelings of today and we are reaping today the harvest of that which we have sown in the past. It is not just 'happening' to us, we have created it.

Do not give conscious consideration to those events that you do not want to happen.

Know that the very nature of stress is to focus the mind on the last thing you want to have happen to you or to those you care for. This does not mean that you should be afraid of your own negative thoughts and feelings. It does, however mean that you should be aware of where you are putting the focus of your mind and for how long you sustain that focus. By sustaining the focus of your mind, particularly if it is combined with a strong emotion, you create a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is time we understood that imagination and emotions are the most concentrated forms of energy that we possess. And we use them all the time. Just think if we did not use our imagination we would not be capable of worry. All emotions are transitory but we tend to cling to them as if they are permanent conditions. Therein lies our problem.

We must learn that we are NOT our emotions, yet we continue to suffer by identifying with them. We say "I am sick" instead of "I feel sick", "I am angry" instead of "I feel angry". because of this identification with our feelings we give them a permanence that, in itself, they do not possess. When we say "I AM" we use the two most powerful words in the English language.

The time is long overdue that we learned to say:

"I AM FILLED WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS"
