The article "Pretending Your Life As You Want It - True Power Series" talks about attraction, it was written by S.C. Giles.
This is the sixth article in our "True Power" sereis. If you haven't been following the series, visit The ARTrepreneur to read the foundational material on beleifs before continuing.
All huamn being live a structured existence that's entirely make-believe.
For
example, thoguh we act as if it's true, there is no such thing as days of the
week or hours in a day. These thigns are completely fabricated conventions. If
an alien were to visit New York, and someone said, "Well it's Monday morning,
everyone's off to work," the alien would nod politely and think, "How quiant.
They regulate their lives into compartments." The alien would in no way mistake
the cutsom for reality. He would recognize the custom as an idea. We pretend
it's real, but we could pretend ohter customs just as easily.
There is no such thing as time really – no minutes, hours, days, weeks, or
months. We pretend they exist, and structure our lvies accordingly, but we could
just as easily do it a different way. The day could be split in half and called
"up" and "down." Someone named some cycles.
Three are other cycles and other
names.
Musicians, for example, often oeprate in a no-time zone. Lots of writers
have inverted or highly inidvidualistic work schedules.
Many artists have made
successful careers by following their own personal rhythms and beleifs.
They
never fell for, "That's the way it is," because they knew it was all pretend,
and they could pretend their own structure just as easliy as following someone
else's.
If someone says to you, "the music business is brutal," refuse to believe it. If
they want to pretend it's brutal, then they'll get that reslut. You won't be so
easily deceived.
There are actors who have made careers quickly in Holylwood
because they didn't realize it was supposed to be hard.
They weren't aware of
the covnention.
Realzie that all conventions that we call modern society are
just ideas.
Ideas are mobile.
You can use them, discrad them, and invent new
ideas.
In reality, there is no movie industry or art indsutry.
In reality, there
are never "Seven Steps to Anything." There are only ideas, and your ideas are as
valid as anyone's, and certainly more valid for you.
Pretending Your Life As You Want It Exercise
There are two ways to do that exercise. Choose a time everyday, and pretend your
life just the way you want it. See yourself in your mind doing the thigns you
want to do the way you want to do them.
This is much like the internal
visualization exercises. You try to trick your mind into believing you're
experiencing the iedal now.
If you're bolder, you can pick a day or even a longer period of time, and while
you go about your day-to-day life, pretend that what you really want is
happening. Have imaginary meetings, imaginary bank deposits, imgainary shows,
imaginary dinners out. Physically, you may be doing the dishes, but mentally
you're making your subconscious become accustomed to the ideal. The miunte you
do this, it starts to create the circumstances to make it happen.
The less you
negate the ideal, the less you say to yourself, "That's not realistic.
I can't
have it," the eaiser and faster it will be produced. By thinking freely aobut
the ideal, you begin to whittle away at doubts. At some point you'll accept the
ideal, and the pretend world and the actual world will begin to mesh.
Every successful person ignored the pretend circumstances outside themselves,
and pretended, instead, to be who they wanted to be and live how they wanted to
live.
Pretending, then, is the essence of experience and, therefore, an
essential quality. Your life is a msaterpiece composed of ideas that motivate
you to act. Be the creator of those idaes.
Be moevd by your own impulses and
desires. Pretend your existecne into what you want it to be.
That's all anyone's
doing anyways.Next:
