THIS IS YOUR POWER

In my previous article I showed how forgiveness, which is a change of mental attitude, causes a change of circumstances and now I'll show you the reasons. 

The fundamental reason behind every event lies in the fact that  'creation is finished' and is in Man, who chooses what he lives through his state of consciousness. This concept is almost misunderstood and altered, or it's not known at all, therefore many speak of Man as the creator or co-creator of his life, but these concepts are inaccurate. 

'Creation is over' and is in man in its entirety! Man chooses from limitless possibilities that are represented by infinite states of being and by embodying them he gives them life and hence allows their physical manifestation but he cannot create the states of being, they exist forever latent in everyone. Alone a state of being cannot manifest, it needs human parentage, the operating factor is man, consciousness without man is inoperative, it cannot manifest.

'He has put eternity into the mind of Man', the word eternity, often translated with the word 'world' is the Jewish 'owlam, and has a meaning that is not temporal nor spatial, but it symbolizes all that exists, a continuous present, the everlasting,  and all that is hidden. 'He has put eternity into the mind of Man, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.", hence the eternal creation exists in man's mind which contains all that humanity has done from the beginning to the end for in this passage the word 'God' is the Hebrew 'elohiym, a plural word.

Hence Man is the hologram of the eternal infinity, without space and time, and he uses it in the physical experience by drawing from it through his imagination. Imagination is the instrument by which Man comes in contact with the eternal, with the infinite states of being which are in his mind. This is the experience that leads him to rediscover himself and identify himself with the Creator, it is not to become he, but to rediscover that he already is he! It's very different from becoming a creator, or being a co-creator, because the concept of separation from the creator is a concept that resolves into the identification with him, and the creator is the creation itself, which is over and is within Man. 

This is the plan of redemption of Man, of every Man: to return to the Father and it is the only pre-determined destiny and it cannot fail because the 'One', the 'eloyhim, cannot be devided and the entire humanity forms that indivisible unit.

Having within himself all that exists, he extracts only the part that is contained in his imagination which is consciousness in action, God in action, because God is the I-amness of Man. 

The state of consciousness that we choose, consciously or unconsciously, becomes the lens through which we interpret the world, therefore we cannot 'see' what is not contained in our present state of consciousness, this explains the use of the word 'owlam, which is derived from alam, the verb to hide, to keep in secret. This spiritual blindness leads man to judge from the premises of who he is. Therefore the interpretation of the world is not caused by the world but by the attitude towards it and the example shows it. The person in the example I mentioned in my previous article could not see that the obstacle was existing only for her and was not objectively existent, and only by changing herself her interpretation of the world would have changed with a consequent reflection on the outside. 

I told her that that experience would have changed her profoundly, because if you are aware and attentive to what you're doing within yourselves, and then with lucidity and intention you modify yourselves to achieve a different result, when that result appears in front of your eyes, you can no longer be the same being as before! and indeed she now tells me that, after that the circumstances have changed, in similar situations her attitude is totally subverted, her reactions are now different, and she now recognizes that that obstacle was unreal because it has disappeared. What I suggested her to do was to use her imagination to change her psychological state, that is the instrument by which you can change the feeling of yourself, the feeling of your 'I', which is necessary if you want to change circumstances because there is no other cause but the state of being that you embody for  ALL creation is within you and not on the outside, from this you can understand that THIS IS YOUR POWER! that is your 'I' is your power, the concept you hold of yourselves, or better to say your Self.

Your reactions are the yardstick by which you recognize the state of being that you usually inhabit, they tell you who you really are. You wouldn't react as you do if you were different, and you cannot realize it until you move of psychological state, therefore in practice it is not useful to understand why you act as you are noting, but it is much more productive to define what goal you want to achieve and make it with clarity because that identifies a peculiar state of being that you do not know yet or maybe you don't remember, and that state of being has its peculiar reactions, and then procede to embody it. 

My friend was focusing only on what she didn't want to live and not on what she wanted to experience, therefore she was wearing the state of whom had not realized his objectives, but she's become aware of it only after having embodied a different state of consciousness through a change of her imaginal activity, and not only that has solved a difficult relationship turning it into a loving one, but it has also allowed the unfolding of a series of desires that were stagnating because of her concept of the outside as an obstacle, concept that was existing only within her. Biblically speaking, she was not forgiving, that is she was not converting her state of being into that of the realization but she was projecting on the outside an obstacle. Therefore, even though she was trying to realize various objectives, by using the techniques I told her, and of which I will write in some other articles, the results were not showing up, and do you want to know why? Because what you do to another you are doing to yourselves because  there is not another, we are one! What you're imagining of another, the same you're causing to yourselves.

"And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses" it's told in the gospel of Mark, but in order to comprehend the psychological truth that lies behind the experience of this disceple we must comprehend first of all the meaning of prayer and then through the comprehension of the unity that underlies the entire humanity we can realize why some desires don't manifest if we don't forgive.

Prayer is not a petition, it is not a request , it is not a plea since there is nothing outside of man that can listen to that request because man is the living god. Unfortunately the word 'god' evokes the doctrine that has been thaught to man, namely that of an external and indipendent god! A god humanized, which is brought to the 'low' level of the human mind and not left to its 'high' level which is spiritual. Therefore it's a god that judges, who decides arbitrarily, and that punishes or rewards. Sometimes it's called by other names, such as universe by those who claim the existence of a law called the law of attraction. A god who has a plan for each one, an unknown fate that you cannot foresee. But the Bible does not tell anything of that nature! The Bible tells of a unique destiny for humanity, that cannot fail. A plan that takes place at all times and not only once in a remote past, concerning one only chosen man, but every man and this destiny is to identify yourselves with God, all the rest has not been predetermined therefore it's not written in any place! There is only one law and that law is God and he is in Man as Man. Therefore Man sees in the Bible what he is, his concept of himself gives life to a concept of the divine, in every situation it's the ideal that man incarnates that acts for him. Man thinks of being free but he's always subject to his psychological state and if he doesn't realize it he continues to act by compulsion and not advisedly.

Every man forges his own life through the psychological states that he chooses, that are neither right nor wrong, and that lead him to remember his divine nature through a predetermined plan that scriptures show. That plan cannot be changed, neither it can be 'managed' by man, it happens without notice in its proper time and there is no book, nor practice, nor teacher that can intervene in it.

The biblical language, which is an Oriental language, among other things ancient, and it is not the Western one, it's based on symbols, but  it's been translated literally and not in its symbolism. You cannot read the Bible and interpret it literally because it is written in allegory and parables, it conveys a psychological truth told as a story, it speaks to the human imagination which is not simple fantasy but the only reality! The Bible tells the psychological story that happens in the soul of every human being at all time and not only in a specific one of the human history. It does not concerne a man but THE Man, every man, males and females, and the experience that I showed you through the story of my friend (one of many stories that I could tell) is the concrete example that the same biblical experience is renewed in every being: redemption is possible through forgiveness. 

You are the operating power of consciousness through the use of your imagination, in which everything exists and therefore everything is possible, independently if you believe it or not, because never in eternity you will separate yourselves from your imagination because you are one with it. You can never ever cease to imagine! And those imaginal acts have been shaping and are continuing to shape your world, your physical experiences.

The practical application of all this is to observe that your imaginative acts mold your life by tracing the link between what you live and what you have imagined and are still imagining. This realization helps you to accomplish with certainty what you desire because man is not only he who formulates the prayer but also he who grants it or not. The Father of scriptures is 'I am', man's consciousness, you realize immediately that it is a psychological issue and it's not an external being, not even an external universe, who should or could listen. The only creator who has to listen to your prayers is already within you, as you! It is this lack of understanding the only obstacle to the realization of your desires. Wait for an external God, or universe or any other being, to listen to you and you're actually waiting in vain because in that way of being you're not embodying the psychological state of having received them, therefore you are not granting them! 

USE FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is a fundamental and very important concept to understand  how your consciousness works and its infinite power in the transformation of your life, because it has to do with your way of being which is the cause of what you live. It's of import to grasp that forgiveness is the biblical repentance, which is a change of the attitude of your mind, like the example I reported. I talk very often on forgiveness because it has a great value and it works miracle, it is the place of birth of the 'Lamb of God' which takes away the sins of the world, a very misunderstood concept of which I will tell in other articles to not stretch further this one. 

In practice, how to use it? To forgive is not to utter the phrase 'I forgive you', that would be the arrogance of feeling yourselves superior to those you're forgiving, when they acted only to witness your imaginal acts, if you read again the experience that I showed you in the previous article, you can answer to this question: who was on duty to be forgiven, my friend who thought her colleague to be an obstacle or her colleague who was acting as an obstacle because of my friend's way of thinking? After my friend's change of attitude towards her colleague, she stopped to be an obstacle and became adorable, then forgiveness was to be given towards herself and not towards her colleague, read what my friend testified  to me: 

"Hello dear, I update you, I'm applying all the love that I have towards not only my colleague who is already totally changed, but in everything I do and towards all the persons with whom I interact and it's fantastic!

They recalled me for the training soon after I started to work on it, then next plan is to reduce the hours at the shop, do consultancy, training, and the birth of my center...",

Isn't it wonderful! This means 'to be doers of the word, not hearers only', that is to put in practice what you hear because all this theory remains unoperant without human intervention.

Therefore to forgive is to recognize your responsibility in having imagined what you are now experiencing, and then it is to change yourselves and to embody the opposite state of what it is, that is 'to turn them the other chick'. Imagination is the instrument by which you can carry out this task. 

Imagine before your mind's eye the person you think is an enemy or an obstacle and hug her. Say to her that you love her. Feel the feeling opposite to resentment and hanger, in your imagination no one sees you. You prove that you've succeded in this if, when you meet that person or think of that person, you no longer feel resentment but love, and this means you are born to a new state of consciousness, a lovely one, and that state will bring good fruits to you.

Test it! and you too will experience what my friend has lived because that is the way through which the external is brought to life therefore it cannot fail.

"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (James 1:22)

"Pray you now, forget and forgive" (W. Shakespeare, King Lear)
