Visualize

A while back, I was looking for a new direction in life and a friend told me her experience with what we call a "treasure map". She said the she took a board and put pictures of things that she wanted, a VCR, and TV, A record player, etc., and a year later, she went back to it and realized that she had all the things that she wished for on that board. Following her advise I did something similar, on a notebook I start adding pictures and notes as they came along; it was a good exercise to focus my goals and my wishes. At the beginning was hard as I didn't really know what I wanted. A couple of years later, my daughter asked me to see my notebook so she can get ideas and as she was going through it I notices a picture of 3 cars, a black coupĂ©, a red convertible, and a Silver sedan... As I told her, at the time I place that picture in the notebook, I had and old white coupĂ©, and that day I realized we had 3 cars: the car she was driving, was a red convertible, a gift from my brother, a black coupe that my son bought, and a new Silver sedan. I always wanted a new car with 4 doors. I went through the notebook and realized a number of materializations, e.g., I had a page from a magazine with pictures and statements like; gifts, jewelry, perfumes, etc,. it turns out that I was receiving a lot of junk from different avenues that I really didn't want, and I think it had to do with the map.

Some people think that the Paleolithic Lascaux Cave Paintings, between 15,000 and 17,000 years old, were used for magical purposes. I can only imagine that food was what these artist wanted most, some of the paintings are located in unaccessible parts of the caves.

I believe by the experiences that I had that creative visualization works, it is a proactive way of living our lives, it gives me a sense of purpose and also leaves a lot to the universe, all I have to do is ask for things that are good for me and for the world. I learned that when we trust the power of the universe, we don't really need to collect "stuff". We create what we need and use it until we move to a better situation and leave to someone that may need it.
