“You must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled until your assumption has all the sensory vividness of reality. You must imagine that you are already experiencing what you desire. That is, you must assume the feeling of the fulfillment of your desire until you are possessed by it and this feeling crowds all other ideas out of your consciousness.

Decide what you want and ask yourself what it would be like and how you would feel if it were true. Then dare to assume you have it. Let the people who know you now see you after your assumption. Don’t make them see you; let them see the change! Then you will know who the cause of the phenomena of life really is.  When I say you are all imagination, I mean it.” -Neville Goddard

I was out walking by the Ocean and I had a REALLY powerful thought – or realization if you will.  I have known this to be True for quite some time, however in this particular moment with the simplicity of the thought it hit me on a cellular level. . . Do you know the feeling?? I have met many nay-sayers who do not believe that we have the power to create our reality.  I am going to argue that statement with this article and I invite people to agree or disagree…

EVERYTHING that has and will be created has all started from the same place.  The IMAGINATION.  If we look around at our world, the entire thing has started from that Cosmic space of ether, energy, and imagination – and from that imaginative space, came the physical creation of the desire.  Look at the house you live in, the car you drive, the garden you walk past, the stores you shop in.  Each of those things that we often walk past or overlook began as an image in somebody’s MindsEye.  From that moment of conception within the eye of the beholder came a ripple of events that aligned the desired creation with all the steps necessary to create it.

When we set out to create; whether it be a house, a social business, or our Dream-Life, we never have to know HOW it is going to unfold.  But when we’ve committed WHOLE-HEARTEDLY to that vision- the magic of the Universe takes over, and the seemingly serendipitus events begin to unfold to manifest that vision.  The vision is always created in divine timing, never human timing (as nice as that’d be).

As human beings I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit.  Or we are always looking outside of ourselves giving credit to those who have created a vision for their lives.  TODAY, I am asking you; What does YOUR IMAGINATION wish to express out into the world.  What are the details of the reality you wish to construct from the Internal Consciousness of your Being? I am not asking what society is telling you to create – WHAT does your heart strongly desire to turn into a reality in THIS lifetime!??

Meditate on this vision. Write EVERY detail on paper.  Meditate some more.  Write more.   Feel the feelings of having already created that which you want; or as Neville says “Live in the wish fulfilled!“  You have the power to create such Awesomeness in the world.  You have the ability and power to recreate a world that feels more beautiful to you.  Let nobody stop you from dreaming the big dream.  Let nobody tell you you can’t do it.  I am affirming from the power within me that is creating my DreamLife and helping others to build theirs’ that YES YOU CAN & YES YOU ARE!  As I mentioned in my previous article…BE PERSISTENT!

If you desire to align your Consciousness with a more beautiful reality because the one you’re living in right now just isn’t doing it.  Start by practicing meditation regularly.  Through your practice of meditation, you will become an observer of your limited thoughts and beliefs.  When you observe those patterns that hold you back, you have the ability & power to choose new belief systems that better serve the reality you wish to create.  A daily practice of sitting, Being, Breathing and Chanting will align you to those higher states of Consciousness and eventually with practice, patience & persistence….voila, YOUR DREAMS WILL UNFOLD – YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE!

Adapted from Second Sight  (Three Rivers Press, 2010) PART ONE of TWO:

I’m a psychiatrist and intuitive in Los Angeles. What I do isn’t my job. It’s my life’s passion. With patients and in workshops, I listen with my intellect and my intuition, a potent inner wisdom that goes beyond the literal. I experience it as a flash of insight, a gut feeling, a hunch, a dream. By blending intuition with orthodox medical knowledge I can offer my patients and workshop participants the best of both worlds. Now, listening to intuition is sacred to me, but learning to trust it has taken years. I’ve described the details in my memoir Second Sight which is meant to assure anyone whoever thought they were weird or crazy for having intuitive experiences, that they are not! This brief synopsis gives you a good sense of the book.

I grew up in Beverly Hills the only daughter of two-physician parents with twenty-five physicians in my family. From age nine, I had dreams and intuitions that would come true. I could predicts illness, earthquakes, even the suicide of one of my parent’s friends. This confused and alarmed me, as it did my parents who were entrenched in the hard-core rational world of science. At first they tried to write my intuitions off as coincidence. Finally, though, after I dreamed my mother’s mentor would loose a political election–which to my horror, came true–she took me aside and told me, “Never mention another dream or intuition in our house again!” I’ll never forget the look in my dear mother’s exasperated, frightened eyes, nothing I ever wanted to see again. So from that day on, I kept my intuitions to myself. I grew up ashamed of my abilities, sure there was something wrong with me.

Luckily, I’ve had many angels in human form who’ve pointed me to my true calling as physician. In the sixties I got heavily involved with drugs in an attempt to block my intuitions out—not something I’m recommending to you! Following a nearly fatal car accident at age sixteen when I tumbled over a treacherous 1500 foot cliff in Malibu Canyon, my parents forced me to see a psychiatrist. This man was the first person who ever “saw” me–not who he wanted me to be, but who I was. He taught me to begin to value the gift of intuition, and referred me to Dr. Thelma Moss, an intuition researcher at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. She was to become my mentor and guide to developing my intuitive side.

While working in Thelma’s lab I had an amazingly specific dream which announced, “You’re going to become an MD, a psychiatrist, to help legitimize intuition in medicine.” When I awoke, I felt like someone was playing a practical joke on me. I’d never liked science, and I was bored around all my parent’s doctor-friends. I was a hippie living in an old converted brick Laundromat with my artist-boyfriend in Venice Beach, working in the May Company’s towel department. (I’ve had a great love of towels and sheets since!) The last thing I envisioned doing was medicine. But because I was beginning to trust my intuition, I enrolled in a junior college just to see how it would go. So one course became two, became fourteen years of medical training–USC medical school and a UCLA psychiatric internship and residency.

The irony was, that during my medical training I strayed far from the intuitive world again. Traditional psychiatry equates visions with psychosis. Working in the UCLA emergency room, I’d keep seeing psychotics who were wheeled in screaming, strapped to gurneys, accompanied by cops with billy clubs. These patients professed to hear God and to be able predict things. They also felt their food was poisoned, and that the FBI was on their tail. No one tried to sort through this mishmash of claims. Typically, patients were shot up with with Thorazine, hospitalized on lock-down inpatient units until their “symptoms” subsided. Seeing this so many times I doubted whether it was safe or appropriate to integrate my intuitions in medicine.

When I opened my Los Angeles psychiatric practice in 1983, I had every intention of it being traditional; I’d use medications, psychotherapy, but I didn’t intend for intuition to play a role. My practice was extremely successful. Since I was a workaholic and also loved helping people, I had twelve hour days, though very little personal life. But then I had a heart-wrenching wake-up call that changed everything. It was an intuition that a patient, on antidepressants, was going to make a suicide attempt. Because she was doing so well–nothing supported my hunch–I dismissed it. Within a week she overdosed on the antidepressants I’d prescribed and ended up in a coma for nearly a month. (Had she not survived I would’ve been devastated.) The hardest part, though, was that I thought I’d harmed her by not utilizing a vital piece of intuitive information. This was intolerable for me. From then on, I knew, as a responsible physician, I had to integrate my intuitions into my work.
