I read a book that changed my life its called "The Nature of Personal Reality" by Jane Roberts. It was written under unusual circumstances to say the least. Jane is not the actual writer she is the vessel in which a spirit named Seth is writing. She goes under hypnosis and Seth is channeled through her. She has a husband dictating the book. Seth wrote a whole series of books all written in the 1970s and 1980s. Although this tidbit is a bit of a wild claim the book taught me so much. Here is an exercise from within the book on how to use the past to create the future you want. The whole book is incredible in its ability to teach you that your thoughts build your reality you are not a creature of circumstance because you built the reality you have not the other way around. I hope you enjoy this excerpt and decide to read the entire book because it is the most amazing read I've ever had the opportunity to read. It literally changed my life
Concentrate on your desire
To rid yourself of annoying restrictions then, my dear friend, you repattern your past from the
present. Whatever your circumstances, you use the past as a rich source, looking through it for
your successes, restructuring it. When you search it looking for what is wrong, then you become
blind to what was right, in those terms, so that the past only mirrors the shortcomings that now
face you.
Other events literally become invisible to you. Since basically past and future exist at once, you
are at the same time dangerously constructing your future along the same lines.
Individuals can go from psychologist to psychologist, from self-therapy to self-therapy, always
with the same question: 'What is wrong?' The question itself becomes a format through which
experience is seen, and itself represents one of the main reasons for all limitations, physical,
psychic or spiritual.
At one point or another the individual ceased concentrating upon what was right in certain
personal areas, and began to focus upon and magnify specific 'lacks.' With all good intentions,
then, various solutions are looked for, but all based upon the premise that something is wrong.
If such a practice is continued, the concentration upon negatives can gradually bleed out into
other previously unblemished areas of experience.
You are not at the mercy of past beliefs, therefore. On the other hand, the sooner you begin- to
act upon new ones the better. Otherwise you are not trusting them in the present. If you are poor
and want to have more money, and try to maintain a belief in abundance - while still faced with
the fact of present poverty - you must in your reality make some symbolic move that shows you
are willing to accept a change.
As foolish as it may sound, you should give some money away, or in whatever manner that suits
you act as if you did have more money than you physically have. You must respond to your new
beliefs, so that neurologically the new message gets across.
You perform habitually in certain manners as a result of your beliefs. Now if you willfully change
some of those habits then you are also getting the message across. The initiative must come
from you, and in the present. In a very real manner of speaking, this means changing your
viewpoint, that particular perspective with which you view your past and present and imagine your
future.
You must look within yourself for evidences of what you want in terms of positive experience.
Examine your past with that in mind. Imagine your future from the power point of the present. In
such a way at least you are not using the past to reinforce your limitations, or projecting them into
the future. It is only natural to contrast what you want with what you have, and it is very easy to
become discouraged in so doing, but looking for errors in the past will not help you. A correctly utilized five-minute period of time can be of great benefit, however. In this period concentrate
upon the fact that the point of power is now. Feel and dwell upon the certainty that your
emotional, spiritual and psychic abilities are focused through the flesh, and for five minutes only
direct all of your attention toward what you want. Use visualization or verbal thought - whatever
comes most naturally to you; but for that period do not concentrate upon any lacks, just upon your
desire.
Use all of your energy and attention. Then forget about it. Do not check to see how well it is
working. Simply make sure that in that period your intentions are clear. Then in one way or
another, according to your own individual situation, make one physical gesture or act that is in
line with your belief or desire. Behave physically, then, at least once a day in a way that shows
that you have faith in what you are doing. The act can be a very simple one. If you are lonely and
feel unwanted, it can merely involve your smiling at someone else. If you are poor, it can involve
such a simple thing as buying an item you want that costs two cents more than the one you would
usually buy - acting on the faith, even that feebly, that the two cents will somehow be given you or
come into your experience; but acting as if you had more than you do.
In health terms, it involves conducting yourself once a day as though you were not sick in
whatever way given you. But the belief in the present, reinforced for five minutes, plus such a
physical action, will sometimes bring literally awesome results. Such effects will occur however
only if you cease looking into the past 'for what is wrong,' and stop reinforcing your negative
experience. These same principles can be used in any area of your life, and in each you are
choosing from a variety of probable events.
Seth later summarizes this exercise in 'Dreams, Evolution and Value Fulfillment':
The important lessons have never really appeared in your societies: the most beneficial use of
the directed will, with great expectations, and that coupled with the knowledge of Framework 1
and 2 activities. Very simply: You want something, you dwell upon it consciously for a while, you
consciously imagine it coming to the forefront of probabilities, closer to your actuality. Then you
drop it like a pebble into Framework 2, forget about it as much as possible for a fortnight, and do
this in a certain rhythm.
