Hi everybody,

I would like to know if you must actually visualise the thought impressing itself on the formless substance, or does this happen automatically? I am a bit confused here...

Is there, in other words, something extra you must do other than just forming a thought. The gratitude really works, by the way. Have had tremendous results so far.

Lydia, you're impressing your vision on the Formless any time you're holding a thought with feeling.

Here's how it goes:

Your thoughts create your emotions.
Your emotions create your actions.
Your actions create your results.

(And sometimes it seems like that action step gets skipped and things just show up immediately, although even your WORDS are a form of action. You'll find more on the power of our words in tomorrow's edition of The Certain Way.)

Here's a brief example of just ONE way this process works.

Let's say something unpleasant happens -- someone is rude to you, for instance, and in that moment, your thoughts fly to: How rude! How dare he treat me like that? I don't deserve this. Who does he think he is?

Those thoughts QUICKLY create emotions: hurt, anger, perhaps the desire to hurt back and get even. See what I mean?

And you might even choose to ACT on those emotions by saying something rude back, maybe even slapping him. Even if you control yourself in that moment, you may take action later by badmouthing him to others.

So what RESULTS can you expect to manifest through this process? You've impressed an image of something that is NOT what you'd like to have in your own life, something that is definitely NOT "more life to all and less to none" through your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

The results you will get will NOT be manifested in the life of that other person, but in YOURS. And one of the first ways these results show up is often in our own bodies.

Bingo! You're all stressed out, tense, maybe even feeling physical pain -- like a headache. You're in a bad mood. You may even begin to radiate THAT (you might call it the "impression of DEcrease).

And this process is at work in EVERY area of our lives, including the financial. When you stop to examine how things work, I know you'll begin to uncover this theme everywhere you look.

(This is one of the things we do in the Practical GeniusesTM course: learn how to wake up to what we've actually been doing -- mostly on unconscious autopilot -- "up 'til now" -- so that we can begin to CHOOSE where we put our focus, faith, and feeling and thereby begin to change the RESULTS we're getting.)

People ask me all the time variations on the question, "How do I get a vision? How do I create 'clear mental images'?" And the answer is that you're already doing it, all the time.

The difference, now that we're beginning to understand and see things differently, is that now we know we get to CHOOSE.

That's the beginning of real power.

Many blessings, and, of course--
EXPECT Success!
