Step 1. Start with a crystal clear picture of an experience that you are interested and motivated to have. Imagine every element from every direction from INSIDE your experience. Submersing yourself in the idea moves the experience from being a "want" to a reality - like a dream is real to you while you are in it. Compare this to a a 'want' which is viewed from outside of the experience, looking in. One of the key habits of a 'wanter' is that they separate themselves from their desire experience creating a gap which they justify holding on to. This gap becomes their reality. They put more belief, more focus time, and more energy into this gap than their desire. They live inside the outside of their desire, instead of inside their desire.
Your imagination is the architects design room. It is the place of sculpting, and designing. When you exit your imagination most of us, go "back to reality". In doing this...we are behaving and confirming, and therefore creating, that the design work IS our experience. We enter into the plane where we should be receiving the experience, and we create this gap of space and go back to "wanting". From the pre experiencing realm of mind (the architects office) we need to leave with an expectation of action from the volunteers in the Universe whose job it is to bring that experience about. You have to realise that you are an integral part of a team. The rest of the team are all doing their role, everyone, but you. It is everyone's objective to have the same experience, each entity having their own perspective of the same experience. But without you, the experience doesn't happen and so everyone misses out. You are not alone. You are not the creator, or go getter. You are the address for delivery -physical experiencer. Now rewind back to the part of the last sentence " without you, the experience doesn't happen". This is where we go wrong. We consciously try to create the experience. We come out of the architects office all motivated and we then go about 'trying' to manifest the necessary components of the experience. This is of course not our job, because at best, the only thing we could possibly do is manifest the rudimentary elements of the physical experience. An example-we imagine a perfect holiday. We explore it in our imagination, and come out into the physical plane. From here we create the gap by saying 'when I can afford it' or 'when I have time' or 'when such and such an event occurs first'. Or we straight away action it, and race off to book our flights, and accommodation, insurance, and all other things. But no matter what, we cannot control the rest of the universe, and we cannot create the quality. We cannot control the fact that our plane is delayed, or returns or gets diverted during flight due to mechanical issues. We cannot control that the taxi driver at the other end is rude, or angry due to a run in with his boss or wife prior to meeting up with you. You cannot control the mix up with your hotel booking, or that the room is not anything like the pictures you viewed on line when making the booking. You cannot control the weather, the instances of being fleeced by experienced hawkers, by the spillage on your clothes and on an on it goes. Basically you control nothing that contributes to the quality of your experience. Once you fully grasp this you will realise you have to take a totally different approach, and once you do you will see a completely different outcome occurs.
At the moment you live your life as an individual with different hats on. You have your relationship hat, your work hat, your friend hat, and even your public hat. (more about these hats later). Within each of these roles you try to do your best to achieve the wants you possess in each of the areas they represent. The interesting thing that we don't often realise, even though it is completely logical and common sense, and you will laugh at it when you hear it....yet ask yourself this....do YOU do it? In order to get what you desire from an experience that involves others, you need to accommodate their desires first. If you want a quality experience...just adding "things" wont get you what you want. Now here is the next most amazing thing. The whole time you have read the above, you have likely been thinking about your physical counterparts. Those other physical bodies that you consider yourself to have relationships with. Now consider that there is another realm of beings, who also desire experiences that connect into your address. They work tirelessly to set up the quality part of the experiences you desire, so that they can have their experience. Think of it like this- you are the parent/friend or Aunt/Uncle of a child who is having a birthday or at Christmas. Careful observation has identified a desired idea that the child wishes to have. You happily go out and get that thing. At this point it is just a thing. You could prove that...just by throwing it on the floor in front of the kid and saying agressively "FINE - HERE HAVE IT!!!!! The reality is at that moment the value of that "thing" is a negative value. The child wishes they had never wanted it in the first place. Luckily we subconsciously recognise that experience it isn't that 'thing' the kid wants, but that experience of receiving it, and the connection with the person who gave it. You spice up how you give it to them...by wrapping it and perhaps even drawing a treasure map, or even doing a treasure hunt with clues that lead to more clues and finally the gift because you want to elongate YOUR experience. You see your experience is the enjoyment of the child. The longer the child has a smile on their face, that is related to things you are doing for them the greater your sense of self worth. The quality of your life is related to your sense of self worth. If you know the universe depends on it's survival from something you are doing right now....then you will feel the worthiness of a Universe. If you feel that child relates their smile and laughter and the hug that you get to your actions -directed at making them happy, then your self worth rises.
Now imagine that your universe is full of creatures who are family, who all seek to have their experiences with you. Their experience may well be your appreciation, your laugh, your growth, your sense of self worth, or even the activation of and alignment of your Will.
Now what would happen if when you were in the architects office, there wasn't just you...but a whole team of "managers" who each are in charge of managing different aspects of the experience. Also realise that there isn't actually creating going on....just management. The management of resources. So the team watch your idea. Then as long as you leave them to it and go out of the office with a sense of connection to them, and a sense of expectancy for the experience, they are then able to get on with the job of bringing the project to fruition. The managers then go back to their teams who then set about doing their roles. There will be one overall project manager who coordinates everyone.
Now, decide that when you enter the architects office, that you are not the King, with everyone there to serve you; but rather that you are a critical part of the whole team. You are the ideas man, and the experiencing point. If the experience is created and you are not aware of it when it comes, or you behave like a king who expects excellence as the normal, or you don't explore it fully then the rest of the team will miss their experience- your reaction, your appreciation, your smile etc. Ponder this for a moment. The quality of everything you experience is moulded by a team your a critical part of. That the quality of an experience has two aspects or halves to it that without each other, cannot be experienced. My awareness of it, and the components that I perceive make a quality experience. This part is interesting also. If I belch at the end of dinner, or pick up my plate and throw it into the fire place (because it is customary for me to do so to show my appreciation), when I am visiting a family in modern day westernised middle to upper class suburbia, I am unlikely to receive the quality experience I anticipate from showing my appreciation to them. For appreciation is a gift, which is not complete until it is received.
First there is the giver, who gives because he gets to receive the reaction to his gift. Then the receiver gives for the first time (excluding the 'reaction') appreciation expecting to have that received to 'balance the books.'
So now, imagine where ever you are, you are far from alone. You have 1000s watching your every move, listening to your every thought, which is not hidden like you think it is. You are in fact an observer of even that. Yours is that which we call 'will' The conscious mind you think of as being yours, is not at all. it belongs to the personality of the vehicle you observe through. It is mainly reactionary, having set itself up with many many cues in it's infancy of youth, so as to spend the rest of its days cruising on auto pilot, making ever so slight adjustments as required for survival, but not adhering well to opportunities to change, for that will require conscious effort. With every word heard, and with every action seen, how is the calibre of what is said and done? Change will only happen when you require it. Not your mind. You mind is a computer system. It will spit out what is requested of it. If it is obvious that what is being requested will be required again in the future, then it downloads it into the main drive (subconscious). It will NOT instigate change. You are the observer. Your language is WILL. When you 'will' something to happen, if it is contrary to what behaviour you have allowed in the past, then you have to reinforce your 'Will' being what we call 'will power'. You will have to exert will until the conscious mind accepts the new status and changes the behaviour. Now put all of these things together...what do you have?
