In my last post I suggested that when you visualize a desired result, it has to be believable to you. But what is meant by believable? It’s what feels right and logic has little to do with it. Deductive reasoning, while necessary to execute plans, is derived from what currently exists. Your new creation is yet to be. It is conceived in thought and born through feeling. Find what feels right to you then think of nothing else.
Years ago, I was living in California and wanted to move back to my hometown in Cincinnati, Ohio. I had lived in various parts of the country for more than two decades, away from family and friends, and after losing my mom I felt the need to spend more quality time with dad. One Christmas while visiting him, he suggested we look at the new condominiums being built within a mile from where he lived.
The community was lovely. Winding streets were bordered by trees and a city park, and the condos were within easy walking distance to every store and service I would need to live there comfortably. As we drove in, I wondered if I could even afford to live there. Still, we met with the sales counselor to discuss possibilities. As she was describing the floor plans a light bulb seemed to go off. "You need to see this condo," she said. "The buyer just cancelled and it’s nearly finished. It might be perfect for you."
Sure enough it was. The space was twice the size of any apartment I had ever lived in, full of light and facing the woods. I was excited, very excited, but contained my enthusiasm. I couldn’t see how the pieces would come together, how things could possibly move quickly enough for me to own this perfect home. I would need to find work, break my lease, get a loan, pack, and move across country - all within a matter of weeks. Yet I could feel myself living in that space, shopping in nearby stores, meeting dad for dinner, and celebrating special occasions with family and friends whenever I wanted.
As soon as I returned to California, I called my manager and asked if there were a possibility for a transfer. Our company had reps in every major city but I knew the position in Cincinnati was filled. When she called the next day she skipped right past hello and asked, "Can you be there in three weeks?" The rep had just resigned. I called dad immediately and he rushed to the condo sales office with a deposit on the home I so vividly imagined living in. As he was signing the paperwork, another customer walked in with a deposit for the condo that, minutes before, had become mine. My landlord released the lease, I qualified for the loan and three weeks later I was living and working in Cincinnati.
Why after more than two decades of giving lip service to ‘maybe one day returning home’ did this dramatic and effortless shift occur? Because I was living there before I was living there. Ignited by the passion of feeling it real, I had blasted myself out of wishful thinking and into creation. If I had stopped long enough to become logical, the dream that was spinning into reality, and fueled by the Law of Attraction (assembling all cooperative components), would have quickly dissolved.
Understand that no matter the dream, thinking about it is just the first step. When we add feeling to the intended result we begin to mobilize the energy that creates universes. Mind, positive male energy, and heart, receptive female energy, come together in a marriage of thought and feeling and the desired result is a certainty. That is how literally everything comes into being, from humans to galaxies. That is how miracles happen.
What do you really want? Define it (thought) then Divine it (feeling). There isn’t anything you can’t be, do or have.
