Believing Makes It So

Creative visualization is a process of constructing the future you want. The reality that we experience now is a construction of the dreams/visions of the people of the past. What you get is what you think about, what you obsess about. In order to have a positive future, we must visualize it.
Picture
This works on two levels, the surreal and the practical. First, if you believe in the metaphysical world, if you know that there is more to this reality than can be explained by our current science, if you understand that reality is just a construct (think about the movie The Matrix to get a better understanding of the concept), then you know that what you think matters deeply and that you construct reality. 
Picture
Second, what you think about, what you believe in, influences your decision making both objectively and subconsciously. Will you wake up tired and unfocused? Or will you wake up full of energy, daring to do one more thing today to get Bernie elected, perhaps after a long day of work. Will you watch someone at work dominate the conversation with blather about Trump or Hillary, or will you find it easy to inject a comment about Bernie Sander’s plans to tax Wall Street speculation through a transaction tax to fund higher education for everyone who wants it.
Picture
So how do you do it? What is creative visualization? Essentially, it is thought at the level of belief. Believe in the thing you want to see happen, want to experience. Spend a few minutes every day visualizing the desired objective. Work out the details. Find pleasure in the visualization. When you visualize, imagine the thing as being a fait accomplis, done, happening now, here now. Be in a pleasant frame of mine, be happy about it. Whatever “it” is, imagine that you have it now, right this second.
Many people find it useful to create a vision board. A vision board is some kind of collection of graphics and text that capture the various elements of the goal. It can be a bulletin board with pictures cut from magazines or it can be a page on Pinterest. Create it and look at it daily while thinking about it. 
Picture
What do you want to have happen in the future?
I want Bernie Sanders to be President of the United States of America, with a congress that supports his vision of a restored biosphere.
