Once you understand the principles that cause your emotional health and the physical reality you see about you… it is possible to extend and direct your power of attention to create whichever reality you choose. It doesn’t matter if the reality you want to create is a successful relationship, business or a change in Society.

As long as it is consistent with your purpose here on this planet the process is always the same. Anything in life that will successfully translate from an idea into reality needs to go through these three steps.

The three cycles to everything in life are;

Generally people try to jump in at step 3. So they are not clear exactly what they want… or exactly what to do. Because they are muddled and confused, they know something might go wrong - but they’re not sure what.

They begin trying to do something, with only a vague idea of what they want, but they don’t know if they can do it or what might go wrong. And then they wonder why they aren’t motivated enough.

People are always advocating writing down your goals. It is not the fact of having written goals that makes you successful; it is the clarity you have of what you want to create.

All of the problems essentially boil down to a lack of clarity. Once you have the clarity to see your dream as if it were already here the steps to create it will be so clear that it will be easy to create it.

It took our earliest Ancestors centuries to invent fire and tools. Yet if you or I were transported back into their time. Immediately we would think of using these to make life easier. Only because these have become so real and obvious to us. This is what Dreaming does for you. The longer you dream the clearer the creation seems. Therefore it needs less courage to implement it.

If you pay less attention to your dream than to reality you will need a great deal of courage because it then only seems like a pipe dream. But when you have spent hours examining the idea from your imagination… you become as familiar with the dream object as reality. And so the question of it not existing becomes ridiculous.

This is the plasticity of human experience. Things are real only if you pay them enough attention to make them so. People say, but it’s not real is it. I can’t hold it in my hand.

No, but can you hold your worries and anxieties in your hand. But you still pay attention to them.

The butterflies you get in your stomach before making a speech… are they real?

The feeling of love when you see your Partner or Child, is that real?

Reality is only what you believe to be real. If you focus your attention on your dreams… in time it will seem real. At that point you can deconstruct the way it was created and follow those steps to bring it into reality. Without that level of attention though, you will lack the courage, belief, ability and knowledge to bring it into reality.

Dream until it is so clear that you know exactly what steps to take. Dream until you are so excited… that you cannot procrastinate… you must make it come true.

Then is the natural time to move into the Dare stage. Many people know exactly what to do, but don’t do it. Sometimes for lack of motivation and other times because they are afraid. This is why the Dare stage is so important. This is the planning of how to make it happen.

The final stage is the cycle of actually Doing it. In most things in life we don’t jump straight in and do it perfectly first time. We need practice. In anything worth doing, we need to find our own route. We need to make a few mistakes, go up some dead ends to understand what is going to work, what isn’t and why. After doing this for a while we create a map of knowledge, just like we create a map of our neighborhood.

When you first moved to your home didn’t you make a few wrong turns. Eventually all those wrong turns create a map in your head. So now when someone asks you directions you can quickly find the best way to get there.

Likewise you can be become just as confident in living out your dream.

But because most people jump in at this cycle without Dreaming and Daring they are already lacking motivation and courage. In their mind perhaps they already say to themselves

They dip their toe in the water… And if their unconvincing attempt results in anything less, than overwhelming success they decide it won’t work.

“Oh well, I gave it a shot” they’ll say.

Then they will find a hundred and one reasons to explain why ‘IT’ wouldn’t and couldn’t work for them.

You see life is so simple, if only you fit in with it. Everything has a natural cycle to it. You wouldn’t try to bake a cake, without putting the ingredients in first, but so many people try to create a better life without knowing what the ingredients are… or even what recipe they are using.

Some people have a problem with this concept, as they believe that this is interfering with God’s plans. However if it is not through you, me and everyone else, how is God's wonder and splendor ever going to manifest on earth? We are the vessels, the pipelines, for God’s force.

If it makes it easier for you to accept think about it this way. God has created a swimming pool (the world). Just an empty hole isn't much use so he needs to fill it up with water. So he uses a hose (us) to fill the pool. We can direct the water where we want. We can fill the deep end (be wealthy) first or the shallow end (lack). He doesn't care which... he knows the water will settle down... find there own place and move about. So the force is his, but you get to choose where it is directed.

It's difficult to grasp this point. It goes against everything you have ever known. This is why people have difficulty with it. The world teaches you that you take what you have and then make the best you can from it.

Wrong. So wrong.

It is only the clarity of vision that separates Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King from people who everyday go to work and struggle. There are many other people brighter, richer, younger and fitter that cannot do as much, because they do not call the energy and inspiration through them.

If you do not have enough - of anything, money, time, fun, whatever. It is because you have not asked for enough. It is not that you are being greedy to ask for more. It is that you expect so little of God to ask for so little.

When you have a use for millions of pounds, for hours of free time to spend as you wish, for tons of fun, for joy, for excitement, for passion, love and everything else you want. When that purpose is so clear, so exciting, so tantalizing that you can taste it. Then you’ll find the money, the time and so on.

What most people do, is what we have all been taught to do. Instead of digging an empty hole to create our swimming pool... we find a puddle. It's not our own, but we pass it and because we are scared that this huge, infinite universe will not have anywhere better to stay than this tiny muddy puddle... we set up home here.

This puddle doesn't really suit us... but it's home now and it's better than the dry patches outside. At least there is some water. Occasionally there will be a little rain, or a trickle from the pool further along the path. But then we look at where we live, we'll see what we have done and think I can't do that. And we can't, but only because we have not found and prepared our own hole... and then connected ourselves to the water tap.

Your imagination is the catalogue of possibilities. You may order whatever you like. But it will give you nothing more than you order. Be sure that you want it. Often people will say I want X. Really though what they want is a new experience to grow. At the same time they are fearful that any change may rob them of things they hold dearly. So they pull the thing they want and then push it away at the same time.

Then what you have done is with your thoughts... you have found yourself a swimming pool (Remember the hose analogy) - your niche in life. Now keep the force flowing, amplify it and you will fill your pool with all you need.

So your dream creates a hole, which expands the world by adding something that doesn’t yet exist or filling in a gap. The bigger the hole the more of life’s force you’ll flow through you.

People like Mother Theresa, and Nelson Mandela, achieved great things not because they were great. But because their need was great. Need is only a perception. If you empathize so strongly with a group or need that you feel must be filled. So greatly that you are willing to step up and fill the need then your perceived need is far greater than if you were to live a normal life. This applies to all fields. If you dream for so long that you truly believe you are going to be a world famous Star, billionaire businessman or whatever your perceived need will be far greater. And so you’ll pull through more life force, which brings through the talents and energy to bring your dream into reality.

Its important that your dream focuses beyond something like money or fame. These won’t create enough pull.

What is it that you want the money, the fame or the power for?

Many people wish to have more money. Sometimes they even get around to writing down their goals. They may set down a goal for a million dollars. Yet in their dream they are only clearing their $20,000 debts, spending $10,000 on a holiday and a vague idea of being wealthy.

Firstly, this doesn’t make you believe it. Even to you it only feels like a pipe dream. So you can’t deconstruct the steps to take.

Secondly, this dream of you feeling more comfortable is the spiritual equivalent of a pain killer. It’s about eliminating a pain rather than the alchemy of transforming the discomfort into growth and expansion. In no way does it expand the universe. And that is the point of life. Expansion and evolution.

Thirdly, its based on a mistake. Money and all the other symbols are just the tools of life. They are a human construct that makes us more efficient. Money is not your ultimate goal. When people say that they want money, they really want one of two things.

One is that they want freedom from restriction of watching what they spend… the hassle of being in debt… or a feeling of security.

The other is that they want it for something specific. So stop asking the Universe to deliver in used ten-dollar bills by Friday and just start asking for what you want. Then it may turn up in the money to buy it, or it may turn up in another way. It doesn’t matter. It’s all the same thing.

Maintaining your dream directs your life force that flows through, wherever your attention is focused. This in time, if held consistently, will fill the hole you’ve created. Usually by the time that we’ve set on something and started to get the wheels in motion we switch our attention elsewhere. It’s like a car going in one direction and then reversing. Over and over again. You never end up getting anywhere.

Once you’ve set this process in motion, its important not to set your definitions so tightly that you’ll only recognize it if it turns up in the exact form you expected. Say for example, you want more money. With our limited understanding of the Universe you may think this means a check in the post. However it may turn up in a work bonus… a business opportunity or even unexpected presents. We have such a limited understanding of the world that we can’t imagine the form it will come without upsetting the balance of everyone else’s reality. The Universe matches our intentions up with those of all the people around us, that we don’t even know and then creates the perfect situations to give to all what they have asked for.

You can’t micromanage the whole process. If you try to you’ll lose your connection and cut off the life force that flows through you. But if you give up control you’ll get to direct where to aim the flow.

Then pay attention to even the smallest sign, such as even finding some coins down the back of the sofa. With your attention and appreciation these will grow in magnitude.

Focus only on the thing that you want. Not what has happened, could happen or that it isn’t in front of you at the moment. With every shift of your attention you are starving the thing you’d previously wanted to create, of the life force it needs to manifest.

Then in the time that is right for you, life will deliver.

In the meantime how can you be sure it’s on it’s way?

How do you feel?

There is a continuum between two polar states that you can be on about something you want.  These are...
